There wasn't another man in the world like Dick! But there was his baby boy- and hers! Tile joy and the wonder of it According to God's ordinance. How absurd Lydia bad been about that "danger period!" Mary bad forgotten all about it in the years wbich slipped by quickly, r too, five of them, but it came :ago her mind this morning, incense-� quentially, somehow, when Dick came back up the garden -path to I give her a second good-bye kiss, perbaps becartse be thought the first was a mere pack. The danger period! The far away memory brought a sudden smile to her eYes, It) wasn't true about her and Dick. That second kiss showed what a lover he still wee! Things had happened in those five years. Progress and added seourity bad come, for Dick was chief salesman tor :his firm now, which explained the growing fre- quency of his w"eek-end visite to Paris. He was off to Parls on a business trip now, but he would be back again on Monday evening, early. Ile bad said good-bye to Dicky, leaving the little fellow up in its cot, and now he was coming back to give her the -second kiss. Five years hadn't altered bim so much as they bad altered her, perhaps. He was as splendid as ever Dick prat Down .his suit -case to take her into his arms ,holding her there with her face tilted up to his. Mary tbeugibt he was loosing older, but, of course, even five Years must make some difference, Dick's eyes looked darker, and there was a hint of concern In them. Be kissed her, "You know, Mary," ne said, "you have have bean a good wife to a fellow, and I am not half good 1 enough for yea." That proved how wide of the truth :Lydia was. Mary laughed, dal put , her arms about his neck. L"Not good enough? And you still *think I'm good " , CHAPTER II, The 'Danger Period, "Oh, rather!" Dick said hastily, and pat her from him, but not be. tore her lips had touched his in a returning lose. Once again ba was striding down the garden -path Orr his way to the railwaY station, The danger period! The absurd Aleatory of it still clung to Mary, putting the joke of it into her heart, and the smile o! Id about her lips. Dick really wao ttif- ferenit, be had come back to kiss her a second time --after five yearn! For the very first time since the morning of all Mary missed going to that window to watch Dick till he disappeared round the bend. 1t was thinking eboat that "danger period" that did it, for she stopped instead in iron; of a mirror and studied herself -the Mary Dick loved! 11 was lonely when Dick went off for those long week ends, as he had to, but they were proof of his grow- ing importance to his firm, and there was Dicky's future to be thought of. Was there any change in ber? Mary studied the reflection in the mirror quite carefully, the queatior of it really alive for a moment. Per. harps a little more staid when she was irwenty-two, her hair a trifle more prion, but she was a mother now, the mother of four-year-old Dicky! Motherhood, and the cares of a household, could make more differ• ence in a woman than the mere pas- sing of years can make in a man.. But there was nothing to worry a- bout, nothing at all, and he had come back to kiss her a second flare t Mary laughed softly. The danger period! It would go on like this, of course it would, while she and Dick grew old. They would always have each other! She had stopped at the mirror on ber way to the window, aadeshe had not meant to stay there, She dash- ed off quite suddenly of catch that last glimpse of Dick, but be bad vanished round the bend. Mary felt a little thrill of disap- pointment. It would be Monday evening before she would see him again. It was ber own fault, of course, missing hint like that. If Dick bad one, however, there was still Dicky, and the work of the house to keep her busy, and if lov- ing her home and Dick and ber boy and all the unending tasks they meant, made -her a born wife then she was.

Just a few of them, which showed how hunian he was, and now hainan she was, too. There was the time when he had wanted cher to leave Dicky in the charge of a neighbour and spent' an evening In town with bim, dining and dancing. Just aa if she could! Dick had dug the garden over in- stead when she had declared quite Positively that she couldn't and wouldn't, Then there was the time here was guile a burst of irritation -for Dick, anyway. Since Dicky's at ewe' she tad dropped into the custom or calling him "Daddy," and Dick had flamed out he wished she wouldn't do it "because he wasn't seventy yet," Little things like that, as well as all tate beautiful things. By and by, m the years to come, she woulld let Von read that diary, Waren he was seventy, perhaps. It would make good reading.

And Dicky of course, went :oo- Dicky with the darling brown eyes and curly brown hair, just like Dick's! No wonder Dick never seemed ale sent from Mary altogether, even en those long weekends! Lydia gave Dicky a hug which the baby iboy generously returned Mary certainly was to be envied with a boy like that! Mary laughed softly, mother pride in her eyes and happiness in her heart; besides, Dick would be home again tomlorrow evening. She re. ,membered 'something 'Lydia had said before Dicke was born. "Still praying for me?" she asked teasingly. Lydia's cool grey eyes smiled at the question. She too remembered. 'You are past praying for, I think, she said. "Ano perhaps, after all, You really have found the one model husband in the world:' "Converted!" The laughter in Mary's voice rippled, "I know you would be!
