Gail though ungratefully, If she had
treated her sister in the same FASH
ion, since Aunt Belle never lost a
chance to fan the flames of Anna's
resentment.
Gail did not prolong the CONVEX
sation, but as she returned to her
desk she was thinking grimly, This
settles it. can't possibly do any,
thing to upset her now"
She seemed to be in a tunnel
which had no end, At that moment,
which was the darkest of her whole
life, there seemed no single ray of
light anywhere. The weeks which
followed were a treadmill of added
responsibilities.
For 10 days Anna remained in bed,
silent and apathetic, fighting her
own battle between love and her
desire for revenge.
Tries in Vain.
In vain Gail tried to rouse her to
even that semblance of interest she
had once shown in her daughters
affairs.
But her mother did not respond
until one cold night in late January
Anna said unexpectedly, IT want to
talk with you"
She was sitting close to the radia-
tor in the living room with a knitted
shawl about her thin shoulders, and
Gail. whose features had been
sharpened by the extra work and
worry looked up in surprise.
You're dreadfully unhappy, aren't
you?" her mother asked.
Gail started to deny it, but the
older woman said, Don't consider
my feelings. I'm feeling much
stronger now. I want the truth"
Her voice was dry but controlled
and Gail realized with a sudden
rush of emotion that at last they
were going to be able to discuss it.
YES" she confessed, Il am"
"He wants to marry you?" Anna
continued, unwilling to mention
Christopher's name.
He did. I don't know how he

But would he if he knew who you
really are?" Anna insisted.

CHAPTER XXI.

Ndll awakened Ine next morning
planning to see Chris before the dav
was over and tell him everything. If
he still wanted to marry her after
that. But she would not per-
init her thoughts to 60 any further.
First there must be the ordeal
OF confessing that her father had
been Robert Trenton.
She lay in her bed feeling strange
ly calm as if now at last she would
have the courage of her own con-
victions, then she heard her mother
calling, Are you awake, Gail?"
Anna sounded i'll, as if even the
effort of speaking were too great
for her. Her face on the pillow
was white. She said family, Il don't
know what's the matter with me, but
can't seem to get up. When I try

Stay right where you are" Gail
directed, hurrying to close the win
dows.
In the hour which followed she
telephoned for the doctor and pre-
pared the breakfast, dressed hurried
ly and called her aunt, who prom
ised to come Immediately. BY the
time Gail left for the Office she knew
that once again fate had defeated
her.
She could not make any promises
to Chris while her mother was ILL.,
And knowing this she greeted him
unresponsively. They barely nodded
to each other that morning.
Well, there was nothing she could
do about it for a while and if in
the meantime Chris changed or
found some one else then he had
not really been in love with her
anyway.
In mood of worry and depres-

Gail did not ask what circum-

But she knew now that whatever
happened, Gail would no longer
hold her mother responsible. She
had made up her mind to take the
risk Of losing her daughter rather
than her love. And Anna was q
good gambler. When she made q
