But that night when she knelt to say her prayers, she reflected that as she had done what she conld for the girl's happiness and meant to go on trying to do more, it wasn't so very selfish, after all, to be glad that Celin FEBRUARY 25, never married, she had a charming home with Laura.

Besides, in what he acknowledged to be his old-fashioned idea, it was aot fitting for a girl of 20 to live practical- ly alone, no matter how discreet a duenna he could get to be with her.
