|a woman'S TOUCHll
By JACK LAWTON. 1
(Copyright, lilt, Waatern Newspaper Union)
Delight gazed across the rur-reachtng
Aelds as she leaned ngalnst the
Id fence that bordered the roadway.
She was reviewing a little sadly the
veats of a fast changing year, when
misfortune had followed misfortune
until she had been obliged to close
her own home and dispense with the
companionship of the old nurse who
had In her loneliness become her
friend. Then Delight, In quest of necessary
employment, had answered a
strange advertisement.
There were so few things that her
home life had fitted her te do the unusual
advertisement seemed to have
been especially written for herself.
Duncan Reynolds of "The Towers"
required the services of a young woman
who could give to his great abode
the home atmosphere.
*Tva servants enough," he said, "and
a good housekeeper, but the place Is
like an Institution. I want?" Delight
fancied that the shrewd eyes softened
?"I want a woman's touch, the right
kind of flowers on the table, the sound
of a piano at night maybe?I'm glad
that you have applied for the position."
With her arms folded now on the
I fence rail Delight marveled that she
had become an Inmate and a necessary
Inmate of the great mansion on which
she had looked with awe since the
days of her childhood.
The erratic old gentleman who was
Its occupant and owner had been regarded
as a sort of ogre then.
The old nurse had told to Delight
weird tales of the great house on the
hill?how, long ago, maidens had
feared the wealthy and handsome
young Duncan as a suitor, because of
his uncontrollable temper; and how
ui iB8i ue naa gone upon a long visit,
returning with' a beautiful, gentle
bride., who had lived but a few years
like a prisoner behind the great house
bars.
Delight, looking up to the center
window of the tower, thought now of
the gentle lady her nurse had d?v
scribed, and wondered if it was this
woman's touch which the lonely man
had missed throughout these years.
Last night Duncan Reynolds had
searched her face with Questioning
eyes.
| "Why didn't you marry T' ue asked
with his usual brusqueness.
"Why," Delight had stammered, "I
really don't know?"
"You will make seme man happy,"
he had said, and his rare smile erased
the lines ef tiredness from his face;
"do not miss your opportunity when It
comes. My life has been one of disappointment.
First I lost my wife,
wnom I Bare never ceased to love.
Then the little girl. My daughter
would have hetfn about your age."
"Oh I I did not know," Dellghtft
sympathized, "that you had lost a
daughter."
"?and a con," the old man added
sharply.
And as she stood reviewing her year
with Its unexpected paths, she yearned
to restore to him in his loneliness the
Joy he had known and lost. And she
wondered a little wistfully If the happiness
he spdke of would ever be her
own.
Then suddenly Delight was roused I
from her musings. A horse, tearing
down the twisting road, reared wildly
and tossed from its saddle a man who
lay stunned for a moment?at her feet.
Instantly she had slipped under the ,
bars and was lifting the injured man's
head, when his eyes opened, looking
| up at her.
"Nothing seems to hurt but my
ankle," the yaung man said at last.
"If you can bear my weight on your
shoulder I'll try to stand up and see
how bad that is."
"Pretty bad," he gasped, whitelipped
after the effort.
"You had better rest back on the
ground," Delight suggested, while" I
run over to The 'Dowers and send s
groom to help you."
"The Towers!" the young man exclaimed,
"what are you doing there?"
His suffering was so evident that
she ignored the rudeness and ahswered
his question.
"I am sure they will look after you
over at The Towers," she added kindly,
"If you will let m^ go for help."
"Is the great master there as savage
as ever?" the young man asked.
"Mr. Reynolds is not savage at all,'*
Delight Indignantly retorted; "he Is
a lonely old man who has acquired
understanding through sorrow."
She told Duncan Reynolds of their
enforced guest that evening.
"They have put him in the blue
room," she said; "the doctors said his
Injury would not permit him to be
moved further."
Impatiently her employer turned to
descend the stairs. Long after she
neara mm culling to ner rrom tne bail;
Delight wondered, as she responded,
at the change In the old man's face.
Its grim lines seemed aU at once to
have changed to tenderness.
"The young man up there," he said
slowly, "Is my son ; we quarreled years
ago, and the boy ran away. That Is
how I lost him. He has been afraid
to come back. Something you said to- j
day changed his mind. I thank you. I
For all the kindness of your woman's
touch I cannot thank you. Perhaps
happiness may be on Its way as your
reward, even as my happiness comes
today.
"My boy wants to see you," Duncan '
Reynolds said. "Will you go up to
hlmT*
And smiling back Into the father's
face Delight ran vp the stair.
