Hor youth and Inno cence and purity had captured his fancy and she had bartered herseli for gold. Bhe had sacrificed truth and honor, and, as she soon found, her haplness as well. 8he learned, however, the hardest lesson In life of concealing an ach ing heart behind a smiling fu"e. With the oomlng of her child something like peace had .crept Into her heart. Then, shortly afterward, her husband had died and she was free. She heard nothing of her young lover. She knew, however, tlist he had left the old home, had first gone to New York to study art, and then to Europe. Now he had returned and they had met The country youth had become a famous painter; a strong, virile man replaced the lover of her maiden days. But now the pictures of the past bad disappeared. Other scenes glfd ed across the mirror of her thoughts. Hope and longing painted them. Presently a tall, fair girl stepped to the woman's side. "are you ready to go now, mam maT" she asked. For one puzzling moment the wom an's poise wa shaken, her self-com mand overthrown. Then with a forced laugh she rose and Joined her daugh ter.
