I'm the | visitor who came last night!” Anne was breathing painfully now, but all the attention she pald to that was to crush her hand against her heart. Steadying her lips into a smile, she opened the door. “Good morning, Mr. Harland. So my little surprise is spoiled! You've already met my daughter,” she said. Harland waa red and wretchedly embarrassed. He shook hands with unnecessary warmth, glancing from her to Elsie. “You—you must be very happy to ve her with you,” be hesitated “Very. Yen, indeed,” Anne said; went quickly to the phone and asked for Mr, Harland. He answered with eagerness. Had her caller gone at last? Could he come up now? “I'm afraid not, Phil. She's stay- ing with me over night. I'm sorry —but you'd better not come up again—" “Ob, mamma!” Elsie watfled. “Call me up in the morning Phil,” she finiabed, in desperate haste and hung ap the recelver without waiting for his reply. Elsie’# eyes were full of angry, disappointed tears. “That was horrid of you, slie flashed out. “You knew I wanted to see him. I'd have asked him myself to give me a part!” “Dear child, please don't talk about that. It's impossible, Abso- lutely impossible, for more reasons than one.” Anne spoke kindly but with decision. “What fs more, you must go home tomorrow, and stay there till” ‘Go home? Ob! Oh, I won't do Then Elaie burst into tears, and threw herself down on the couch. “You — you're unkind!” she sobbed. “You don't love me!” A grim shadow of a smile edged Anne's lips for a second. The re proach was as familiar as the voice that uttered it. Just so, in their honeymoon days had Blair North ended every argument in which he was beaten. But she sat down by and tried patiently to con- sole her. “Why, you'll be here again in November, child! Perhaps sooner. Don't cry so. What are a few weeks out of a girl's life?” By degrees Elsie’s sobs quieted Presently, with her face still buried, she began to coax to stay till Saturday, anyhow Anne was honestly distressed, but every minute of it stiffened her resolve. Already her nerves were on edge, and what state would they be in if this kept up for three or four days? “No, dear. No. tomorrow,” she re ted over and over, till Elsie saw pleading was thrown away, and sat up, subdued and mournful, but resigned. The next morning Anne awoke late after a restless night, Elsie was up, however, You must go and in “Did I wake you, mamma? I tried not to!” she exclaimed, and cross ing to Anne, kissed her on both “I've been up ages!” “You must have been, to do your hair so beautifully,” Anne smiled, “But aren’t you famished? I'll be dressed in ten minutes, and we'll—" “Don't hurry, dearest, Take all the time you like,” Elsie said pret “And why can't we have breakfast up here? Let me order itt” Anne assented gladly, and went back to her dressing. She was putting in a final hair. pin, when she heard a step in the hall, followed by a knock at the saitting-room door. “Breakfast,” she dawdling serenely, Kisie spoke, and a man’s voice answered. ‘t was Harland’s, be yond a question, For a moment, it seemed to Anne the world had turned to water that urged over her. Then she groped toward the door Thru the crack, she could see them: Harland staring and be- wildered, Klsie laughingly holding out her hand “Yes, Miss Houghton’s daughter.
