warm Wooded and happy! She seemed to

this last- desperate hour. There h?ng abdut
her even the faint scent of roses. It seemed
so easy V) corns back to sit down beside his
little daughter, who loved him with all her
honest heart, and be happy and jolly and

Stockinged feet about before tho fire. She
never asked questions, but she gener

to know without them. "How long can I
stay, Uncle Dan?' taking off hor hat
"In two hours will be time enough. Let
me have you long at I can."
"Isn't that a lovely hat?" poising it on her
tittle fat fist, and looking over it steadily into
his gaunt, changeless fflfce. .The brown
plume-is just the shade of my hair. Been
hard at work on The Camera lately, dear?"
"They've needed nothing for two weeks."
"Oh !*" She was quiet a minuta "Just put

him, and then like a-flash she was in the pan
try cupboard, which was empty, as we know,
and bac^again by the fire. She took up the
goblet and smelled it. Tho major, coming
back, glanced at it jealously, but it stood
where ho left it, and Maddy was leaning
lazily back in her own low chair. She was
pale, and the water stood in her eyes."
"You're not welL child r
"No. Sit down,by me, Uncle Dan. I'm
?red and I'm hungry, that's all. I ordered a
miraculous little supper as I came along: It
will be, here presently." She took his, big
harid?he sat by her, fingering it over, hbl<V

fching^ke than hunger had been at work with
him. They were both too old <$oldiers to bo

The steps came nearer. The poor'oltr- mar:
jor backed toward Jtbe inner door, hir>un
coutb face white and wet- "Fm not welL
I'm going to lie down on your bed.' Take him
away with you, Maddy. I can't see either of
you to-night." Yet even then it gave him a
vague pleasure to bear how light and gay.
and resolute the boy's steps were.
Maddy came quietly between him and the
door. "No, we will both see this Jack, who
puts you out of his way."
The door opened. There was the oldsbort,
stout built Jack! The old sturdy, honest face
under the same fur cap, the twitch in the
mouth ready to make a joko at anybody or at
himself.
"Why, Maddy? I did nothopo to see you
here, littlo woman," giving her a brotherly
shak? ?f the hand, and so figuratively setting
her aside. How the dull morbid shadows
tbat^had filled tho room crept aside before
him.r Madeline felt that her life had been
but a passionate dream " Practical, common
sense people on the same plane or society saw
each-other a month ago in Chicago, and mar
ried ratiroally. And why should a prac
tical,- rational man encumber himself with
this late discovered father, with bis un
doubtedly unwholesome fancies and stagey
habits?
'Maj. Standish" ? Jack with all hi.
hearty manner, was em'.jarrassed?"I came to
speak to you on business of importance. You
have no secrets from Ma'.lrfy?"'
"Dont speak, boy! For Ckxl'ssake! Iaa
Kttle while I will set it all right! Wait one
minute!" retreating to the door.
"But I won't wait." Jack had his hnvls
on the major's shoulders and forced him dorrn
on A chair. His face flushed as ho spoke, and
