 "Of course, they were foolish, but they were little more than Children Two weeks from the day they first saw each other they were married It was an elopement and both mis- represented their ages.
 Mary's visit came to an end and che went back to the older siS- ter, with whom she made her home. Ileyd kept the marriage a secret but after a while 1t came out. The boys parents declared he had ruined his entire future. There were terrific arguments, scenes, harsh words spoken in anger. The parents, no doubt, were right-from their viewpoint-but the boy was right, too. He couldn't make them see this. The law, parental author ity, everything was against him. He was packed of to Europe for six months"
 But did he gop" Toby asked. Did he 90 and leave Mary2"
 The cigaret had died and Hill- yer rubbed out the ashes. "Yes, he went. You know, I've always thought it strange how people with the highest principles can shed them when they're convinced they're doing something for right eous cause. Or when they want to believe that what they're doing is righteous. This boys parents promised that if he would go abroad for six months, he could come back and rejoin his bride and receive their blessing. It was on this promise that he, went away.

They persuaded her that the marriage was a handicap to the boy, told her that if she'd agree to the annulment, she could marry him later after he'd finished school and they would welcome her into the family.
 "Mary's sister - the one she lived with - agreed to this. She consid- cred the secret marriage a disgrace, and I guess she made this plain to Mary"
 "But," Toby asked, "the boy came home, didn't he2 What hap pened them"
 "When the boy came home 1t was too late. Mary had vanished as completely as though she had never lived"
 "You mean - he never saw her again2"

story has taken a long time in the telling, Toby. Tn actual living, it has taken years. Part of it has come to light only in the last few days. While I was away on this trip. Events of this sort are like jig-saw puzzles-there's piece here and Q piece there to be fitted together. After you have enough of the pieces in place, the finished pattern begins to take form. You have to find the pieces and you have to get them in the proper order before you can make anything of the picture"
 But tell me the rest" Toby said eagerly.
 Perhaps if the boy had been older or wiser instead of the boy he was, he might have found his Mary and the story might have had Q different ending. He didn't find her because Mary and her sister and the sisters husband had moved to another town"
 And she didn't try to find him?"
 "She couldn't, Toby. Within 6 year Mary was dead"
 Hillyer paused again. That" he continued, twas 19 years ago. A long time, isn't 1t? Mary died when her baby was born"
 An exclamation escaped Toby's lips.
 "A baby daughter" Hillyer went on, whose father was never told of her existence. A daughter who today is a grown young woman"
 Toby forgot that the story had been told in the third person. She said excitedly, And have you found her? Have you really found herr"
 Hillyer nodded. "Yes," he said, I've found her" His voice sud- denly was edged with huskiness. "Oh, little Toby, don't you know?"
