said'. 'For. • 'hat we deo,, we pay-,--

happiness such as few have
known. I've 'paid for it, and I'd
;pay for it aver again, gladly; it's
when our children have to pay that
it hurts." :She paused. "But life
hasn't been all sad; there's been
the love for my child, there's been
the. friendship of a good man and
,there's belen work and success.
I've wanted for nothing that money
could' give.' 'And ail the time I've
loved, and love brings a lot. It

And now it's come to me to help
ytOur child. That's very ;ouch to
me. If you've ever loved—for you
never loved me, dear—you'll un-
derstand."
Ile made no answer, but his
hand clenched hers.
"It's only you who can het her
—poor little broken -!hearted ir1.
If you think that there's payment
to be made, then pay in love and
understanding to your own child.
All last night. Gladys held•,her in
her arms and this morning early
she sent for me. Ivor, the child
turned to me as if I'd been her
mother. It's all done• and over.
She understands—she's promised
that she'll do her best.. It's diffi-
cult for me to say it, but there are
some women. who bear children
but they cahnet mother them. So
be, father and -mother, too, Ivor --
she'll need yeti. If it were pos-
sible, I would have kept her=but
what I've done seemed the only
way."
"Oh, Nettie, Nettie," groaned the
man,
"Thea is safe at home. I bid.her
go to her bed, and for to -day you'd
best leave her. But after—what's
to come after?"
"After?"
"No one knows but yourself.
Must anyone else know? She
dreads that terribly."
Nettie made as if to release his
hand, but he held it firmly.
"You say the fellow's gone, that
he had the decency to do"—his
face flushed—"what I hadn't the
decency to' do. It's all square; are
yo4�sure, Nettie?"
"°mss, from all.that Thea said,
I'm sure."
"And no one knows?"
"No. Except her brother. It was
he who saw them together and
threatened he'd tell if she wouldn't
promise not to see the man again.
It was that that made her run
away. I tried to persuade her to
tell her—mother, to tell you. Ivor,
I could see that she loved you, but
she didn't seem to think you car-
ed."
Ivor winced. "Poor little Thea,
poor little soul! Nettie, 1 did care;
but it's been very difficult. Thea
and her mother—it's not Jean's
fault, she has tried, and Thea's
tried too.•It's like that Sometimes,
isn't it?" he pleaded, and again
Nettie saw before her the boy she
had loved. .
"Yes, dear," she said.
"But some one else does know,"
went on Ivor, "my dear old aunt,
the aunt who brought me up. We
came home early because the peo-
ple we were to have lunched with
had to put us off, so we motored
straight back, and when 1 asked
for Thea, the servants said she'd
spent the night at the Cottage—
she often does. I thought I'd go
over and tell her we were back.
Then Aunt Anthea said she. hadn't
been there. I must tell her, Net-
tie, but she'll understand, bless her,
as she always does. But—my wife,
Nettie, I can't keep it from my
wife?" pp
"No, you can't keep it film your
wife. I suppose poor- little Thea
must pay like the rest. But the
child's i11, Ivor, she must have rest
and quiet. Couldn't your -leave her
for a while—just a little while?"
Then perhaps you could take her
away."
"Yes," he spoke slowly. "Yes, I
think I could manage that. I'll
do what I can. 011, Nettie, God
bless you!" He turned away" again
and did not speak for a minute or
two. '"I've made a poor sort of a
game of life, if you only knew,
Nettie. But tell .me about the
child—our child. I can't bear to
think of you alone—what you went
through. Boys are awful fools. I
knew and yet I didn't know; it
was only afterwards that I under-
stood, and you don't know how
miserable I was. I tried ever so
many times to find you." '
The : woman's face softened and
brightened into one of her rare,
beantifui smiles.
"Did you, dear? I like to know
that."
'flow did• you get on? What did
Y u do?"
Nettie looked. up at him; the
smile faded and her face grew
Very sad.
"Don't," she said, "I can't• talk

Nettie shook her head.

content that it should be so. 'And
Gladys wants for nothing. She's
a -clever girl - and earns good

father's car that they lent me to

nothing of who she is, you needn't

ly.'
Once again Ivor Selincourt leant
over the gate•lookingRout over the
field of corn. . The wind blew
gently, beading the golden yellow
heads to show the greenish yel-
low stalks, making broken ripples'
of color. '
He felt almost stunned.
Presently he spoke again.
"What can I say? What can I
do? What have I ever had•from
you but love, kindness, joy, and
now I owe to you the safety of my
child. And I can do nothing.
Nothing to atone •for 'as black-
guardly a sin as ever 'man sinned
against a woman. Oh, Nettie, it
hurts—it hurts."
The pain in 'his voice rent Net -
tie's heart; again she took his
hand, clasping it against her
breast. "Don't, don't," ' she whis-
pered. "It's all over—all the grief
and misery's over. And it's
brought me\ so much. I don't say
what I did was right. I don't
know. It's all so difficult to un-
derstand, but it seems to me that
nothing we do is bad if we make
good grow from it. Don't fret,
dear, don't.fret, but make good
come out of your understanding
of what's past. Give your heart to
the child. that so needs it."
For a moment Ivor stood stiff
and straight, then, bending he put
his arm round Nettie and kissed
her.
"I thought that I'd paid -- but
perhaps it's only now that I know
what I've lost that I really pay."
At the touch of his lips Nettie's
face paled and her lips quivered.
She stood 'very still, then freed
herself from his clasp and began
eloving.back along the road.
They walked in silence. Just
before they reached the car Net-
tie spoke: "Good-bye. I thank
God I've seen you once again,
Ivor."
She entered the car and leaned
back in the corner, white and tir-
ed, while the chauffeur started the
engine and took his seat. He look-
ed inquiringly at Ivor.
"Home."
The car moved slowly, then
faster and then .there was but a
little cloud of dust.
When Ivor entered the house, he
went straight to the library and
wrote a letter. Then he rang the
bell.
"Tell Jenner to saddle the chest-
nut and take this not‘to the Cot-
tage. I want Miss Selincourt to
have it at once."
Aunt Anthea's fears would be
stilled. Thea was safe at home,
there would be no scandal. But
the servants at the River House?
They knew that Thea, had not
spent the night there. Still, they
had no reason to think that she
had not been at home. Nothing
could be done about that, and after
all the old servants would allow
no tittle-tattle. Thea was so
young that she Wauld get over it.
A little later Ile would make the
old excuse — rheumatism in his
wounded leg the autumn damp
of the river vatlley; and he would
take Thea away. They would
travel, go round the world per-
haps. But he must tell Jean.
He strode up and down the room
miserable, irritable, and Nettie's
words came back to him: "Some
women can bear children, but they
cannot mother them."
In his heart he knew how Thea
must dread her mother's knowl-
edge of her love for Simeon Lister
—the husband of another woman.
He pictured Jean's cold horror,
and pictured, too, the honest en-
deavour she would make to do her
duty to the child. His loyalty to
his wife forced him to try and shut
hia eyes to the faults of her char-
acter, her strange lack ,of affec-
tion for Thea. How was he to do
his duty to his wife and to his
child? He flung himself into the
fireless grate. He found himself
pleading the cause of his child.
She was so young, so madly in
love.
Here, in this very chair, in this
very room, he had sat on the night
before his marriage, his heart on
fire with love for Jean. For her
he would have rieked body and
soul, without her it had seemed to
him then that life was useless.
He a strong man had felt that.
What blame then could he find for
a poor little ignorant, unhappy,
loving child! Memory brought
back to him the picture of Thea's
white baby, face, the feel of her
little sobbing body in his arms.
"i5addy will buy you, and you
shall be Daddy's girl."
Yet somehow he had failed her.
His own sorrows, his reawakened
love for Sean had obsessed him,
and it had been left to Nettle—phis
cast-off • mistress—'to bring back to
him his child.

An Age Old Killer
Years ago . . and not so many
years ago at that . . . the word
"smallpox" brought a chill of
fear to the heart of the boldest.
Smallpox epidemics raged period-
ically throughout the land, killing
and disfiguring thousands. But
vaccination has practically wiped
out this killer and today it is only
a shadow of its former self. Toxoid
can do the same for diphtheria and
children are protected. Immuniza-
tion is free at public health clinics
throughout Canada. Have your
child immunized today.
her room, opening the door softly.
But Thea made no movement.
Towards tea -time the pain les-
sened and --she fell asleep. She
woke to find Nurse standing by her
with a tea-tray.
"Could you fancy some tea, Miss
Thea?"
Thea drank. "Don't pull up the
blinds, Nurse, my head feels. all
bruised and the light, hurts• my
eyes. Will you tell Mother I won't
come down. I shall -go to sleep if
you leave me quiet. Take Jou-Jou
with you, he hasn't had his din-
ner."
She spoke calmly, but her voice
was very dead.
"Would you like some eau -de -
Cologne on your head?"
"No, thank you, just to be left
alone."
"Then I'll bring you some dinner
at eight and put yqu straight for
the night."
Later Thea rose and undressed,
and when Nurse appeared with her
dinner she was in bed. While the
woman tidied the room, Thea ate
languidly.
"Can't you eat a bit more, Miss
Thea? No? Well, I'll leave you a
glass of milk, and mind you ring
the bell if you should want any-
thing in the night. I should wake
in a minute. Mr. Selincourt was
asking if he could come up and
see you?"
"Not tonight, please. Give him
my love."

Your Baby's Weight
Your baby's weight is one of
your''beat guides as to his health.
He should gain steadily during the
early months at a rate of approxi-
mately six to eight ounces a week.
Most communities in Canada pro-
vide ' free facilities for weighing
babies and mothers can keep an
accurate check on the youngster's
progress. But even an apparently
healthy youngster should see the
doctor occasionally . . , just to be
cure.

tish merchant, his sorrowing wife
and family gathered for a few last
words.
"Can you hear us, Father?" sob-
bed his wife. "We're all here,

daughters and your old Maggie."
With an anguish scream the old
man sat up in bed. ""Who's look-
