Then Ned took the little one to her grandmother, then widowed and liv- ing alone with Jeannette. "I'll leave her with you," he had told Mrs. Curran, "until I have a home for her. It may be a few months; it may be several years." And childless Mrs... Curran had come to worship the babe. Jeannette got up at last and bath- | ed her face and smoothed her disor dered hair. "Auntie must . npt know," she sald to herself as she un- locked her door, "how foolish Fre been." The next day Masters came, his eyes happy. "Ll can't let you take little Winnie Edward," Mrs. Curran said to him. "You gave her to me." 'Mother, I can't have a home with- out her," he protested. "But you'll be married," persisted the grandmother. "Your wife will make you a home." "I haven't yet asked the woman I|ed aul, love to. me," he said, "and she may not consent." He looked at Jeannetie as he spoke and. the girl's heart dropping for hours, leaped Joy, He] loved her! He did love her! Next day Ned was compelled to return home without the little girl, his heart stinging with the cruel and unjust words his mother-in-law, in her anger, had spoken.

Jeannette heard a low tense voice saying then. "Take her. She's yours. I can't break your heart." 'It. was Ned, and he was plicing Baby Winifred in her grandmother' s arms. That evening he came to Jeannet- te. "I've shown you what a brute a man can be when he's roused," he said to her, "'so there's no use asking you to marry me now; but you'll let me tell you I love you, won't you? It can do no harm. I've loved 'and wanted you, Jeannette, ever since-- I wanted you before I married Irene! But good-by, dear!" ! H jetnette clutched Alm, soos bre. e glowing gems. "Not ye, Nag No!
