It was their first quiet day together since Pro fessor Mills went away. Philip had been narrating a peculiarly sad incident con nected with a recent law suit, and for some minutes neither had spoken. As they paced slowly through the parlors, Phillip watched their reflection in the mirror between the windows. When they reached the end of the room in stead of turning again he halted. His ‘You’ll take Philip lor your own?” ‘With all my heart—for my own boy always,” was the fervent pledge. Now indeed began Gertrude’s life earnest Its direction was to be shaped by this fine, loving boy, whose soul was knit to hers, in the days of bis sudden orphanage and weary illness, with a fervor that nothing would ever chill.

He announced his decision on one morning as he started for the office. His mother had gone to the door for her usual parting word. Before he gave it he said; “I am going to New York to-morrow, and”—the first time he had ever proposed and went hurriedly away. However strange she thought it—lus wishing to take such a trip without her —she did not betray her feeling. She rightly divined that there was a special reason for his absence, and she knew it would all be confided to her some time. She told him she was £2, that he was to thfo boy. How happily the years went chool days in * going, that he needed change and rest, and that he should come back five years on!

Philip came home ohe day to find an unexpected guest within the hospitable doors. It was Professor Mills, a most agreeable companion in the Rhineland journeying*. He had remained in Ger many to study, and the memory of a desolated home had prolonged hxs stay. w As he parted from her she minded him: ‘If anything troubles you, Philip, yot. know I’m right here.” His first letter told her all. Iu the bewildering hours and days that succeeded, she realized how wisely he bad gone away, and how grateful now u the solitude of the lonely house. She had lost her son—that was at first her only clear thought. Around it swept a current of other and conflicting emo tions. Memory held up many things that took on new meaning in the light of this revelation. She remembered that when ProfessoT Mills asked heT to be bis wife, she had replied that she cared for no one but Philip—she was content to give him all her love. Professor Mills had answered: “But that is a mother’s love for a son; I ask you for something very different.” It had not seemed so different to her—she could not tell why. She only knew that the wealth of her affection was for Philip, and that she was satisfied to have it so. And now— should she ever find safe shore again?
