Peggy did not linger in wiping the remaining dishes and stayed in the kitchen only long enough to put them back in place in the cor- ner cupboards. Once more in the living room she went over to her ncle’'s desk on which the' two Bibies lay. Countless times since she had discovered the enigmatic under sccred phrases with their black ar- rows on the margin had Peggy fin- gered the pages of the musty Bible she had found in the basement. She had tried to discover the rea- son for the absence of the two| pages that had been neatly cut out without success. Her eye fell on the small Bible which she had found in her uncle’s desk. It was a handsome book with heavy flezible leather back and gold edges. The fly leaf cuughh} her eye and she read the name in- | seribed thereon with interest— “Martha Sinclair Prescott.” Evi- dently the Bible had belonged to her uncle’s wife. Just below the name was written in stylish penmanship: “From her loving nicce, Anne Sinclair Beale.” The date followed: “Christmas, 1912." .

It took her some moments to find the pages filled iwith genealogical data—at the very |bottom of the vital statistics was the last entry in her uncle's hand- | writing: | “Martha, beloved wife.of Herbert iPrcscoLt. died in Paris, January 15, {1913," while above it, in cramped lettering, entirely different from her uncle’s writing, statement: “Married, in Paris, Anne Sinclair, my niece, to Julian Beale, {of Mount Holly, Warren County, Virginia, November 15, 1912.” Peggy sitting in the large over- |stuffed chair bowed her head and tears came to her eyes. |niece, was the woman whose life 'had been ruined by Stanton! | She, Peggy Prescott, all unknow- !ingly, had avenged Anne. Peggy closed her eyes in thought. She must have been nine years of age when the sordid marital trag- jedy happened. She was certain |that her mother had never aluded {to Anne Sinclair. !her mother realized that Anne Beale was connected by marriage. Peggy's head ached with an in- tolerable, throbbing pain. She wished Julia would hurry back; above all she longed for Jim. To her doubts and fears—ah, if he | would only come! The rat-a-tap-tap of the brass knocker on the front door brought | her to her feet with a rapidly beat- ing heart. A glance in the old | Sheraton mirror on the wall con- | vinced her that her pretty hair was ‘bemmm"ly arranged even while she | was dabbing powder and rouge on her cheeks. Jim must not find her {with white cheeks—why, he might ithink she had grown old and wrin- {kled over night! As Peggy swung open the froni |door she grew sick with disappoint- ment.
