THE WASHINGTON G, TUESDAY APRIL g. 1910

I am. But I've been thinking things
over since I've been in bed. I've had
plenty Of time to think. And I've
decided I'm not going to be the one
responsible for stopping it,"
IT she had doubted how much
this might mean to her daughter she
knew now by the rush of color which
came into the girls face.
"Oh, Mother, you darling. You
mean that you would actually be
willing for us to get married?"
I don't want to be the one who
prevents It," Anna explained. You'll
hold 1T against me for the rest OF
my life and while look and feel like
an old woman I'll probably go on
living for years. II you tell him the
truth I think he will give you up
but that's a chance have to take
The effort this decision had cost
was registered in her trembling lips
The hand she put out to Gail was
cold.
Il love you so much," she faltered
You're all I have in the world. And
you've not been the same to me since
insisted that you don't see him
You're blaming me, Gail, I can see
1t in your eyes. So you tell him
and then when he refuses to go on
1t won't be on my conscience"
Embraces Anna.
1T certainly won't" Gail cried
embracing her with warmth which
brought tears into Anna's eyes
And once we're married you'll be
happier. too. You couldn't help it
When you know Chris as I do
He's so generous, so sweet. After all
he wasn't responsible in any way
for fathers actions"
She was babbling almost incoher-
emily In her relief. Murmuring little
words OF endearment and affection.
He'll be so wonderful to both of
US if you will just let him. Oh.
Mother. darling, you don't know
what this is going to mean"
You'd better not count too much
on it," Anna advised. Remember,
his father has to be told, too, and if
I know anything about John Reid,
he will never give his consent"
I'VE don't have to have his per-
mission" Gail reminded her. But
without it Chris may not have a job.
His father likes me in an impersonal
sort OF way, but of course he doesn't
