We all do the wrong things at times. And once in a great while thank God we’re given the opportunity to make amends. Last night, you see, Ned realized that I was troubled I’d been talking with Martha. She had been crying when I went up to see her birthday gifts, crying be cause of you. For the first time in all these years, Nora, we talked kind, show truth I sat on ■and I to- ily photographs! Her father-in-law could hear her say: “Phatopraphs Is it possible, that Nona’s not aware that photographs of (that sort are ta boo save in a bedroom? Why, father 'Lambert, it simply isn’t done!” The old man laughed softly at this vivid picture. Often enough he had felt annoyed .at Corinne; she didnt the least, something It was so to be comfortable. One. felt instinc tively that those who lived here loved one another anu were happy together. The shabby u-pholtsery of the old chair—the worn hangings at the windows, were of no conse quence. A healing sense of peace prevaded everything. This was a home. Ah! that was the explana tion, James repflected. Stable or pa lace, this was a, 'real home. Suddenly his head lifted. His heart quickened. A door opened—closed again soft ly. Light footsteps sounded—were coming nearer. He wanted to turn— must turn to face the door, found he not. And then a remembered voice broke in him; “You wished to see me? Mrs. Mason. Jimsy says you ; friend of—Why Father!” It was then James turned— stretched out his arms. . . He was holding her close, his little Nora. It took him back to that long I woman we’re supposed to ’pass by ---- .---_■ the otiier side. It’s too long a story to go into now, but she gave me a diamond. It was very beau tiful—>so beautiful that, though it was saving us, I wept a little when I gave it up!” Nora paused thoughtfully, a ment; then went in; “You see, things were very bad indeed, we had saved had gone home, dreds West; There my confinement and more was promised. We had never felt so sure about the future—so light hearted. “And then—the avelanche! -For months the doctor thought Don would not live. For months he could not leave the hospital. He lay1 on one of a long, row of narrow beds—nothing to hear but sounds of .sickness and clamor of the city streets—nothing to see but four bare, walls; and he so loves beauty! Only to think about it tore my heart in two. And the pain—grinding unceasing, wearing away his splen did strength as water wears away the stones upon a beach. I think all that he wanted then, was to die. Father, to end the .struggle; but re membering what I had alone, he kept ou. fighting. “It was very terrible, I even run in to cheer him times for he was in a ward. I could n’t buy him a single flower. For the money was going—melting away so fast that it frightened me; yet how could I leave the ’babies more even if I had known some way to do it?

And it looked com fortable. “A great deal more 'Com fortable,” James told 'the empty ball room, “than those modern, over stuffed affairs one can’t get up from without .a helping band.” F-oir a tired moment the old man sat down and closed his eyes, won dering wearily if this strange home of Nora’s possessed a guest room.

When Ned’s first daughter had lanrrved and he ventured to suggest tho name of Iris Corinne had been appalled.

Nora ...” “You’ve been a long time, coming daddy.” she told him when at last she could find words; and looking down into her upturned face, James saw, a quick pang of regret stabbing his heart, all that those years done to Leonora. Something loved and hoped to see again gone; yet meeting her tear-wet the old man knew that his daugh ter’s girlhood beauty had not van ished. It had only changed—chang ed into somethng more to be desired —more beautiful ... “You’ve been a long time coming she said again; and 'James respond ed; “I’ve been a stubborn old idiot, my darling.
