GREAT NEWS FOR SANDRA

_.el-4-_ ‘ _

Cl-I_APTElt_ X_CI-V.

The next morning `-Irma Barton

called to inquire after me, I'was sure then that Everett had” been with her the evening before, yet I Bféeted-_shea c0,\',dlally_,. I had told Hetty to_.__ask her _to'co;ne upstairs for a moment-1 would -ask her

- _“Ii was so sorry toheafr of your accident, Mrs. Graham," she said in greeting. "Everett told me you knocked the candle against _your negligee. You will have to follow my example and use a small night lamp instead of a candle-even i_f___it isn't so artistic. I set the curtain' -in my boudolr allre one night and nearly burned the house down. Since thefnfl never use a. candle.” ` - I was very grateful to Everett' for

making any explanation unneces- sary. So we chatted a while. Then I reminded her that she hail told me she wanted _to say something to ine, and I had gone _home without knowing what' it was. I Oh, yes, I remember!" she saiid after a moment. I

comes. I do wish they‘d get married. -husband and I have been friends

The women here are nice, but Rose _ knows everyone I do and we could have such good times talking things over.” -

Hetty brought back a message

from Barrett -that he would call to

inquire for me the next day.

“I wish l could see lii_m'," I mut- tered to-myself, -but Everett would not approve if I received even a' friend of his while confined' t'o my room, and-I _was not sure he had liked Barrett since the night he had taken Rose and me to the theatre, and he hifd- been angry becausel had

disobeyed him.

Once again I built air castles around Bal‘_r`et‘t, Edmondrand -__Ro_ss' Grandon. _That _love goes 'wheragit is sent, and that Cupid is an erratic sort of agod,I never thought. Neith- er did I realize that Barrett cared for me. I knew he liked me, liked to be with -me, -bu-t I gave all the credit to our mutual taste for

music. '

I was asleep when Everett came ln. He told me the next morning that he had come in and kissed me before he retired. _ “I wish I -had been awake.” - “Why wish that? I was. delighted

to nnd you sleeping so quietly." "I wouldnt' have missed your NSS." I i-_eplied with a' blush. _ _

"Here’s one now then," and he save me a_ long, loving kiss before' he_ieft me; ' . it wen vel-y miie to make me nan- ny. _Perhaps because I' had learned _ to love- Everett so dearly, that kiss kept nie happy and contented' all dar ions'-the kiss I knew I had re- ceived, nnd ,the one he gave me

while I slept.

_Barrett Edmonds called about 3 ocleck and brought nie' some lovely flowers and scrawled a -dear little

for years-before your were born," she added will-nisically, “although I awfully hate to admit lt. Makes me out- an- old _wo_man,_ doesn't »it'? I knew Leols, as I told you- knew and loved her although I also knew her faults. Everett realized he did not make her entirely happy, al- though she loved h-im , and he liumored her beyond all reason. His greatest fear is that he will not suc csed in making you happy. I-Ie loves you very tenderly-more, _I think, _than he ever loved Laois. But in hisanxiety to do what is best for you-so different from the way he did with Leoluf-he thinks 'youy mis- understand him' often, and do not care for him as you _would did _if _ he give you your way. Wait a minute --JI have thought at times you might resent his calling on_ me, joining us at bridge, etcetera, I hope you' don't. He is a great friend of the man I um to marry very soon, and so 'I feel free, t0 ask him once in a while to _com-e to us as he usd to. We would have asked you also, but our parties are often late ones and he..__ _ “Oh, I know! I 'don’t play a good

game at all, and he would be embar- rassed t'o have me.” -1 interrupted. so happy that she was going _to be married and that can-se of -my jeal- eousy rmoved, I could think_ of anotfh;_ ing else-also glad to exonerate Ev- erett from what_always_ had been neglect In my thoughts, but which my. pride' would not let me ack- nowledge' as _such to Mrs. Barton. _

"Then the/t's settled. I hope we

may be good friend; some day, even though I am old enough to be your mother," she said smilingly, as she_ rose to go. She looked so absurd-_ ly young, so stylish, and -so dainty, that I laughed heartily and told her

"Chi VVha_t a

I Was Mary "

Here‘s a good old-fashioned

ballad song that's making one of the biggest sentimental hits on record. Henry Burr sings the appealing words and beau-

, riful melody with sinqcte and

tender feeling. Couplbd with “Waiting " (from ' ‘-‘ Listen Lester" ), by Charles Hqrrison.

“OIi, if only I were older!" I said

aloud, the same old plaint which I had constantly voiced since my mar- _r-iage.

Of one thing I was certain. In

hurt a er I resolved never to

woman with whom' my liusband’s name was linked - whether inno- cently or not. I felt a curious sort of iatalism in connection wi-th_ her. ns if -she would br-ing que trouble and sorrow. Yet in spite of myself, I not only admired, biit' llkod her. I felt as if I wei'o beln`g_ warned ol’ denser uhcarl without any means to combat that danger. "_

Long afterwards_\vhen I thought of

this species of brain storm: I' went through- at that time, I -tlio`iigl_iiE_ of the old well-worn epigram-thought of it' because of Everet‘t’s -patience and forbearance: ._ .

"Heaven help you, madam, if your

husband does not love you because of your foihies instead of in spite of them."

Everett at this time certainly had

nb other reason to love me. -Just one week after my accident I was once more up and dressed. Rose hbd accepted my invitation, and had prolniscq to be with me' on my birth- dhy, She had iiintingly 'said sonic- tliin about being wanted, but ns* I recalled her nurried retreat on ne,- previous .visit.I could scarcely blame her, so replied in` o. way to

-somethin - about her.'I _ _I replied

saying it-I would have been ter- ribly chagrinerl if I had -that we Mere just like a _boy and girl of the same age. It always seemed to hurt' Everett when I spoke of his age, as it did me' when he' referred td mine. It was really rather ludi- cruous-only then I didn't see it- Ifwan-ted to be older, he was anx- ious t'o appear young, I for his sake, lip for -mine.

CHAPTER XCVII.

‘I was not perniunently injured al- though sonie of the burns had been p‘aiiiful_ Fortunately the flames had nbt had time to reach my face before Mrs. Gray smothered them in the riigz Often I have shuddered- at the thought tlint but for her quickness, her presence of mind, my curiosity would have caused my death-a hor- rihlb one. `Everett was very tender, very lov- ing, yet unusually serious in the dhys that -followed my accident. Not once had he mentioned the attic, or lihw I received the bums, until i wfns nbie to. get around again, and the pain li:iil ceased. But then be said:

Not once did Everett interrupt

nie, not once did he move until. al- niost exhausted by my emotion and sobbing bitterly. I stopped for

"Poor Sandra! why didn't ¥Du tell

nie all this long ago?"

“Because-b use-I couldn't " I

"Well not exactly. But ever so

many have told me-or said it so I lleard-tlinr. you loved her so you never interfered with 'her-and let- lier do just as-she wanted to-~anil --everytliingi" I knew my reply was almost foolishly childish, but I was so sure Everett was going to

my -thoughts at all. “You let her go [il-aces-and have - company - and sift up -und go out with you"-- I went on making things worse.

“Poor liiile girli' I-las it been sol

terrible? l'i:r sorry, Sandra-my only wish was to make our homo one, of happiness, not of dissension. I thought after my explanation when we were fir-si. marriied -that you would be reasonable. But I counted without considering how very young you were and I-left gossip out alto- geiher."

"And you wouldn‘t let me take

down-her picture, and"-

"No, Sandra, -that woud have been

very childish. Lcolo. never harmed you. She had been gone long before I'met you That is it very lovely picture of her; most of my friends were her friends also. ii would cause much comment 'ifi had al- lowed you to be folish enough to remove hcr picture." He waited a moment.; then, as I made no reply, lie asked:

"Was that the first time you had

been -in the attic " "'No."_ 'i‘hen once more I made full confession. I told of find-ing Leoln’s lovely clothes _packed away, of my

finding the keys in his cbinbnler draw- er, an then I stopped suddenly, as I remembered the letters I had taken and the two I had read.

“What else? Tell me all now,

Sandra.”

“I took some letters-»once 'before

se badly I couliin't read any more."

"Bring them to me." “I went upstairs to my room! and

I was sobbing outggmy love for hhn, my terrible -1 ousy or the dead wife, my resentment at being called "number two"-while he_ lis- tened w-itiiout trying to comfort me.

"You have believed? that'--all of
