doctor as ha et ratio dowu to tbo gate it was not a pleasant sabjoot that dr boebe had brought up why should he not have left it alono what right had ho to mix in family t roubles if he was a doc tor jordan marsh had been a willful disgrace to the family and she tbo iabt one of thn marshes oho eaid to herself was not going to condone his misdeeds because he happened to bo a half brother she was

her lips drew into harder lines as alio thought of it deapilo the anfr however alio oonld not still tho thought that her brothers child was homeless she worked the harder as she thought and at

mockingly through her brain and a tor uis of sorrotv fall as she hovered over tlio kitchen stove with the vain hope that tho heat might assnage the pain she wondered for a mo ment if he oonld really
