Love’s Awakening The li:'ut Story a Steadfust Woman By Adele Garrison Marion's Dislikc For Her Stepfather Waning and She Agrees (o “Meet Him Halfway.” Marion gonsidered my question thoughttully, evidently weighing her answer. “Na, 1 wouldn’t say my overhear- ing that long-ago talk of yours and Uncle Dicky's is wholly to blame for my not—liking—Mr. Underwood,” she said slowly “but it certainly started me along the road to hating him. been wondering 1f he'd get around mother and try to Keep me away from her. “Marion!" Her name was an ex- planation of horrified reproof. “Yes, 1 know, Auntie Madge, that's pretty raw,” she said ruefully “but 1 just couldn't help it. 1 think I'm over that particular angle, though. It scems to me as thougn he really were trying to be decent, and if he keeps 1t up, I'm going to try to meet him halfway.” There was an unconscious egotism in her voice, which housed all my combative instinets, but I held firm to the counsel I had given Lillian. Far better to let things rest as they were until the girl's departure for school. One thing, however, 1 felt that 1 must say to her. “I think that is all your stepfather isks or expects, that you mieet him halfway,” I told her, “but there is one thing T must tell you. Mr. Underwood is a very different man today than when he and your moth- er separated. All the selfishness and ruthlessness seem to have been burned out of him by his terrible experiences. You must not judge Ever sinc» he came back I've | have your mother's society all next year while you ure at school, so | there is no need for you to be quix- | otic over the matter.

But there was no use dis- | couraging the first generous gesture she ever had mude toward him. “I'm sure 1 can do that, aid thoughtfully, “and—! awfully hard to be good—and 1 like him a little better than 1 did least 1 don't dislike him 8o much"—she amended honestly. * Rut I do love you,” she finished emo- tionally, rushing toward me and | sweeping me into a “bear hug." And 1 do love you, dearest,” 1 told her truthfully as 1 left her, teeling as if one of the problems troubling me at least held possibili: | ties of being worked out to a satis- fuctory solution. 1f only the mystery concerning the checks which Dicky's young niece was making out to the unknown “Janet Rawdon™ | held as promising a clue, I should |be content.

Now, no matter how well you try to express yourself in singing a song, if a word drops out here and there people who do not know the poem, if asked for an honest opinion would most likely say, “The voice was love. ly, she seemed to sing with expres- sion, but what was it all about?” Yet that is one of the important reasons why the singer stands there, to tell what it is all about.

Johnny was trying’ to think of | some plan whereby Jerry and Mrs. Muskrat could reach the water and he could reach home.
