CHAPTER XV. ' HE disarms rue," Trafford said when he recounted the inter- view to Mrs. George later in the day. since his wife's death he had come to depend n good deal on Laura.. Her little sitting NOW offered him a refuge in bales of loueliness, while the com• mon sense of her conversation • was relief from the strain ,that life had lately taken en. • ''1 can understabd Abet." Laura re- turned. eturned, looking up from her stitching. "All her instincts are so right that oue feels pliced'in the wrong, whether one Is wrong or not, But there are two things of which I am more and more convirfced as I grow older, The one is. that nothing is more precious in life than the love and peace of families,.. and the other la this --that to preserve them it must happen from time to time that some one has to yield and perhaps , tosuf er." . "Exactly,". Trafford agreed warmly- "I armly"I can't save her from suffering. can I? God knows I would if 1 could."' "I'm sureof that. dear Uncle Traf- ford. One can't have a child of .one's own without knowing that in every- thing It lias`to hear one suffers twice oneself." • "Twice?.. I suffer'; twenty times Since this thing has happened 'to my little girl there's nothing she feels that isn't multiplied in me •over and over again, like a reflection in double mh"• cors.. 1 . give you my word, Laura., that 1 rack my-brains.to explain why the one event In all the 'world that. could have Wert me, most should have come upon Hie. It almost carries. sue back to the belief a God n ho oecu• pies .himself with the details of our affairs and brings, the mot'nl conse- quences of our acts upon' us, and I'd given up that idea long, ago." "I often, think," Laura observed in her musing tone, "that It's easier:'to•' • 110 loves Ile rose and took two or three strides up and down the room, "All. well;" he sighed again. "I don't miild rtdruitting to you, Laura. that l'tn miserable about the whole bus!. Hess, When 1 think of that dear child crying her brave eyes out, perhaps at this very moment"— "Yes. I 'know," Laura Interrupted. "!'hen you'd make any sawlike to save her." She felt she had said enough. for she, too, rose and folded her work. "Won't you come and see Paul have 7 suggested. to I i supper?" she s e d, fi to knew hs er u s 1 p tag he . sthe liked. to see boy kick and craw and splutter and beat with leis spoon h table. oat the t e "No, 1 don't believe I will." he re plied wearily. "I seem to have had. enough of children. I begin to, wish. the Lsrd had never made them" "if he hadn't, you'd be the first to pray hint to begin," she smiled as she turned at the door'to leave him. "You • know better than I do that for Paula's sake you'd throw everything you've ever won to the winds," ' "1 suppose that's true," he murmur- ed to himself as he went along the corridor to his office. "I suppose that's true, That wife of George's is a clear headed little woman, and she doesn't know It." Only a skillful psychologist could have followed the evolution of Paul Trafford's thoughts during the next. forty-eight hours. Only a sympathetic insight could have disentangled ttfe strands of lore and self' love, of ego- ism and 'devotion, of passionate af- fection for his child and of impulse to make one more appeal to the great, easily hoodwinked public to indorse him as a high minded, honorable man. "Life is only compromise after all," was one text on which be mused. "She'd go wild with joy: she'd love me more than ever," was another. "Lau ra was right, They would see me tis 1 am—simple, generous, patriotic, car- ing nothing for honors or a big name, but only for -sterling worth They'd eome to understand me at last." •'That ; was a fruitful, theme of meditation "Brave little' brick!

It was. the third day .before he felt convinced that of all the chances against him be was accepting the least dangerous. it was the fourth before he. felt sure enough to speak. . He• wilted till evening, till the moment when Paula came to kiss him and say good night. I:Ie 'drew her to him and -laughed with an air that. was tattiest boyish in its embarrassment.
