There was ilem e in the library, a sil- .
ence bn ken ru iel\ by he sudden flinging
open of the door.
Edith looked up. smitten with a sense |
of outrage, then started to her feet In
the doorway stood Anthony Barrington
“Tony!" At the sight of the man she
loved everything was forgotten the wom
an watching her. the sick child, the man's i
anger She knew only the Intensity of !
her desire for him as she went forward
quickly, her hands outstretched.
The look with which he met her eyes
was terrible
“You have come at last?” he said
“Woman, my child cries for you. only
for that— “
He broke off, mastering himself with ;
an effort, and the housekeeper, terrified
by his appearance, dreading the scene
which seemed Inevitable, stopped past
them out of the room
Outer Darkness.
Barrington's contemptuous words, the]
hatred with which ’hey were uttered,
lashed his wife's pride to her aid.
"Vnless you are mad, please try to con
trol the violence of your words, at least ■
before our servants J>o you wish a pub
lic rupture to take place’.' I presume not. 1
since yon have sent for me."
"I sent for you because my child cried i
for his mother. and as for the rupture
that depends on the illness or health of
the child He is the shield between you
and your shame I made that bargain
with myself the day you left me- that so
long as the child lived, so long you might
pursue your course unchecked. You
wouldn't have starved I<l have seen io
that All 1 cared was to be rid of the
sight of you."
He checked the angry torrent of his
words, for his wife bad moved towards
the door In silence. He followed her
"Are you going upstairs?"
"I am going to my son." she replied. ■
and passed quickly up Hie staircase out :
of his sight
She did not go Immediately to the nur
sery. As she passed the door she lis
tened for one agonizing moment, and
heard the continuous wall of the child's
querulous little voice. Then she fled as
fast as her feet would carry her along
the corridor to her room.
To her surprise Victorine was wailing :
for her
"Milady got the telegram"" she asked, .
after giving her greeting.
"Yes yes. A white gown, Victorine
I can not go to him like this to Master
Phil, who's calling for me
"Le pauvre petit!" said the sympathetic
Victorine. "Monsieur is distracted "
As she spoke her fingers were already
deftly busy with Mrs Barrington's hair,
and in an Incredibly short time the
Frenchwoman had transformed her mis
tress from the shabby, pallid. terror
stricken-looking lodger of 'I aehbrouk
Street, to her own beautiful, gracious self,
a lovely figure in one of the white gowns
that Tony loved, delightfully soft and
clinging, delicately perfumed a sight to

Edith opened the door of the night nur

the frowning surprise of the white-cap).cd

knitting, glided to the side of the cot.

The cry went to Edith’s heart, until
that moment the heart of a jealous wife
rather than of the loving mother. She
went swiftly to the cot and bent over the
child. He stared up. his fever-bright
eyes still held by sleep, then with a glad
cry of “Muzzy!" held out his hands to
her.
“Sweetheart." She bent over him with
Mnft, crooning words, and would have
taken him in her arms but the nurse for-
I hade her with a horrified exclamation.
‘Max' I pot why?" Edith's voice was
i hot with Indignation. “W here is bis own
nurse whore as Nanna?’’ “Nanna" was
Nanna Galbraith, the old woman who had
been her own nurse, who had taken the
child from birth.
"Hosting.“ said the nurse, shortly. “You
: rnusn't take him up. Mrs. Barrington. No,
darling Lie down.”
Sh" settled the clothes over the little
body and kept up a running volley of
I lender baby talk, which amazed Edith.
1 flow did this woman, who was not a
i mother, know Just what to say and how
■ say it, while she, whoso chib! this was,
! stood by tongue-bound before the love and
j desire that stared at her out of the baby
J ••yes? Her jealously was ridiculous and
unnecessary, for the child struggled feebly
and kept up an incessant erv of “Muzzy

Edith slipped -on her knees by the col,
"I’hil, be good, my lamb. Mother can’t
take xtip up let her hold your hand.’’
She spoke as she might have spoken
to some grown-up child, Instead of the
morsel of humanity that moved so rest
lessly on the hot pillows, and the nurse

I hen, at a glance at Mrs. Barrington's
face, her thoughts changed. The eyes
that looked out of the white face under
the ex.pHsifelx drosse.i hair were the eyes
of a woman who has looked into the very

Edith, crouching on the floor, felt the
* baby fingers tighten round her own, ami
I the touch unlocked the flood-gates of her
i heart A great wave of tenderness swept
over her, carrying with it all bitterness,
all thought of self With a cry, regard

caught the Child up and gathered him

Ihe child nestle«| there content and it
was in that refuge he spent the weary
hours that followed, refusing even to look
at his beloved Nanna hovering near in an
agony of distress. The nurse was power

that the child must not be moved.
The dnx wore on. Anthony Barrington,

! and In love with a girl of eight
een. Wo love each other dearly,
but her parents object to her going
out with me. How cun I make it up

So writes William I >., who Is finding,
perhaps for the first time in his life,
what it means to overcome dislike.
He may be an exemplary young man,
witli every intention honorable. He
may have a good income, come of a
good family, and possess every quality
that would be desired in a son-in-law.
Hut he wants to take Daughter away
from her home forever. He wants to
rob the household of its greatest treas

If he had all the virtues of the an
gels, and sought to do this, very few
parents could look upon his scheme
i for stealing their daughter as a wise
I nature's old-fashiohed plan, and wel

"That," he will say. when reminded

Now He Is “The Robbed.”

objection to all young men in general,
and to Daughter’s favorites in par
ticular, William D. will find his path
up-hill, though he have all the virtues
of an angel.
He must know that the opposition is
not against him as an individual. It
Is that which all mothers and fathers
feel against the established order of
creation. An order that gives them
children to bear in agony and to raise
in .toil and pain, and takes those
children from them just when they
have reached an age when recompense
seems in sight!
It is true they have had all the joy
of their children in this way, but
1 anxiety, uncertainty, fear. toll, sick
ness, and sometimes privation, at
tended.
The children are grown. They have
passed successfully through the phys
ical Ills of childhood, and the greater
perils as a more mature age.
Father takes a longer rest than be
fore. He Is dreaming of the son al-
' most old enough to help him. Mother
finds time to fold her hands, for her
daughters /have reached an age when
they lighten her tasks.
I Then son falls in love and begins to
devote his time and labor and talents
■ to building a nest of his own. Then
some young man comes to woo daugh
ter. and the mother and father are left
. to face « lonely, helpless old age.
A Lesson All Must Learn.
My dear William D.. you are learn
-1 fug a lesson that every young man has
. had to learn. And the lesson teaches
you understanding, patience, tenderness
and the value of the girl you want for
your wife.
For this is always true —the more
valuable a girl in her own home the
more valuable she will be in the new.
Wht n there is a feeling of relief w hen
a girl marries and departs, it doesn't
mean peace and happiness in the home
to w hich she is going.
There is nothing that William D. can
do but wait. A period that must be
| conducted as honorably and carefully
| as if he w ere in line for some splendid
j business opportunity and knew that the
j eyes of thoSe in position to award it
. were upon him.
He must consider the likes and dis
likes of the girl's mother and father.
