Long before eight she was ready for him, but it was after nine hefore she heard his ring and ran to let him in. Somehow she could not re- proach him, he seemed so tired and worn. His eves were deep with fatigue and ring encircled, and so she only put her arms up and drew his head Give me | ~ad on the little shoulder lovingly fered for his support, and then he roke out with: “Thank God, it's all over,” and drew ¢ ¢locer to him. All curiosity sud- cily left Helen. No longer was she petalant girl, jentons of her rights, Lut o strong, conrazeous woman, with i deep trust in the integrity of the! sn she was going to marry, and she iid her firm, cool hand on his burn- | e one so confidingly that he raised | | it to his lips before he began: “I wonder, Nellie, if T were to ask | any explanation, you'd do it?" Without turned: “I've been thinking abont that pic- ture, Ted, and 1 believe the man was : he could not have loved the any it is all right.” It was worth a good deal to him, this simple confession of her faith, but tortunately Ted did not have to take advantage of it. With a little laugh of pure joy, he sat with his arm about her and told her the story, which after all was simple, once she understood. An employer's son, who had fallen into bad company, had been driven to forging his father’s name. The check was presented and dis- puted, and then Ted had been sent ' BLUNT s¢.
