Don’t you know that I want to do for you now that I shall be at home without any office work to keep my days filled up?” “I love to do things for you, Mary. ed our trlgmw fretting over your sup- posed loneliness.” At that moment Will knocked. “Well, you don't look as though you had suf- fered so much,” he began, eyeing the sweet-faced woman, who looked very attractive In her soft trailing negligee of palest pink. “Mary was so de- COL.

Mary roused herself, but the fecling that her mother suffered during her absence almost spofled her honey- moon. “You see, Will, I have been everything to mother and it is a great loss to her. I don't feel like going down to the dance when she is at home crying her poor heart out.” Will snapped his fingers nervously as he looked his bewilderment. “But | she was satisfied to have you marry me.

Mother, have we both been wondering over our own lack of proper feeling? I just dreaded taking away my clothes and leaving you deserted and here you have been having a perfectly good time looking forward to my return.” After a moment Mrs. Johnson joined in the gale of laughter which was now convulsing the girl. “Mary, child.

We are going to spend the rest of our lives within_a stone’s throw of each other and will really see more of one another because you will no longer have to work at stenography.
