She lay back on her pillow with closed eyes, as if so many words had exhausted her. -Paula was wondering whether she ought not to ring for some one when the blind woman raised her- self and spoke again.

It's just like your goodness. I know I can always trust to that. I do like to help those whom in the way of business I've had to hit bard. But you'll never think that I hit hard without reason, will you? You see, that's what 1 was afraid of, and it would be a dark day for me if my little girl went over, even in thought, to my enemies. You never will, will you, dear?" In the very act of giving the assur- ance he asked a sudden determination came to her. It was the woman in her unconsciously taking advantage of the man's moment of softness. "Papa," she asked, leaning back in his arms, "have I as much as a million dollars of my very own?' "You've more. I Invested a million dollars in your name five years ago. And since then you've had $300,000 from your Wncle Andrew and another $200,000 from your Aunt Jane. . Why do you ask?'

The Lord is letting me depart in a peace I should never have known if you hadn't come. You've done more for me and mine" -- "I've done nothing at all for Roger," Paula interrupted quickly, calling him for the first ting by his Christian name. "It will be shown you," the mother sighed gently. "Where there are young hearts, like yours and his, they! not go far astray." She sank back on the pillows again and lay still, with closed eyes. As Paula watched a bright pallor, lke an illumination, stole over the waxen face. Presently there came a light breathing, though the bind eyes re- mained closed. Paula sat still, weil. dering if this might not be the distant approach of death, till, with a wide swing of the door and long, vigorous tread, Winship came in. She motioned him to step lightly and pointed to his mother, "Marah, come here!" he called in a loud whisper through the still opan doorway. "You've tired her, Miss Trafford," Marah sald bluntly when she ap- peared. "I'm very sorry." Mrs. Winship stirred. said at last reproachfully. "So I do, papa. And yet--and yet'-- , "And yet--what?'
