Marcia said stridently. I told him and he doesn’t care AH he wants now Is my happiness I learned this morning that I can never lave another child You'll let me have him back, won't you’ You won't fight to keep mv boy?" "I don't understand!" Elinor said Poor passionate Mercia! Marcia moved slowly toward a rhair Into which she sank wearily. For a moment she leaned hack, her heavy eyelids closed Then, looking again at Elinor, she said. "I'm talking about my first marriage " She nodded toward Gerald 'He's my son. you know Barrett shielded me I've been thinking—l ran t help thinking that it was because I let him do that—that I last my baby." "But you mustn't think such; things, dear!” Elinor said hotly ‘That's morbid " She too dropped to a chair close to Marcia's Her knees had suddenly become absurdly weak. Barrett, poor Barrett! "I made Barrett promise not to tell any fine but I presumed lie had told you!” Marcia went on. Elinor shook her head. * Well, every one any one can know now I'm through with lies and telling them Tell tlie child to come here, Elinor. I want to look a’ him ” "Gerald!" Elinor called not quite steadily Shyly, and a trifle awkwardly. the boy moved toward them. Marcia held his hands tightlv as she fed her hungry heart, looking on the small hoy's freckled face. a a a "\\J HEN Bob and Barrett reVV turned toward the close of the afternoon they found the butler stowing Gerald's luggage into Marcia's smart car. She's niy mother!" the small boy told them excitedly. He was dressed in his best, readv for the trip 'But she says I ran come back and visit you often and I do like her!" My God!" burst from Barrett. He stood, staring blankly at Gerald, then at the car and the attending chauffeur who was doing his best to keep from showing the surprise he felt Bob. who also had come to a full stop, gazed blankly as he tried to digest the truth then whistled shrilly through his teeth. “I'll be darned!" he said Marcia appeared then and Elinor followed her. Into M ircia's step had come something that had been last from it. the energy that means a return of hope "It’s all right. Barry!" she said

happily "Dick understands —and he is waiting for us. For Gerald and me Were going to celebrate the reunited family at dinner tonight—" She kissed Barry and patted his arm. "I'm not depriving you. I know " she went on Elinor told me about that when I saw her last Oh. not in words, but I could read i* in her fare She almost fainted at the thought—" Marcia's eyes brimmed but she went on bravely—"of a baby's dying " Barrett was frowning his bafflement. moistening his lips He sent a look of appeal to Elinor, who was flushed and smiling. Then Marcia stepped into her car. and Gerald followed He leaned from the window and waved as they rolled on down the hill. 4 a a a BARRETT moved toward Elinor, and she turned to Bob Bob." *he said you have always been one of mv most understanding friends " He bowed, smiling "Present,” he agreed "I think I'd like a little time alone with my husband." she confided with an uncertain laugh. Haven't you some letters that you really must write?" Dozens." Bob agreed promptly. He disappeared into the house, satisfied. Everything was as right as he had supposed it to be. And he wanted their happiness now; not Elinor's alone but happiness for Barrett. too. Barrett drew Elinor's hand through his arm Suppose we go inside,” she suggested In the small living room, he faced her. hands on her arms. "Barry." she said slowly, if I had failed to say what I did iast night— I before I knew the truth—l'd be ter- j ribly ashamed of myself." But you did say it. Elinor.” "Yes, Barry—” "Darling!" "I feel like going down on my knees to you—” "Don't!" he whispered. He drew her close then to press her face against his shoulder Hand on her hair, he stared above her head, still stared blindly. "We'll see Gerald often Marcia said we would.” “Yes.” ' Barry, will you forgive me? Can you forgive me?" "Dearest, there's nothing to forgive. Oh, Elinor—" "Yes?” "What did Marcia mean when she said you'd told her? What had you told her, Elinor?" He held her away a moment and looked down at her Hp seemed to see her as !ip had never seen her before, his wife who had told him she wanted to make life worth while for him. His wife— Then all at once he understood what it was she had told Marcia. He dosed his eyes, drew a deep, unsteady breath and drew her clase again. a a a WELL. Higgins knew’ that everything was all right again. Tile butler had stepped into the living room to arrange the tea and had backed cut again, glad they had not heard him. He had seen Barrett holding Elinor close in his arms as though he would never let her go, his face bent to hers. And Elinor was clinging to him. Higgins was "that happy” to know these two. whom he loved had overcome misunderstandings. Trembling, he tiptoed back to the dining room. “I thank Thre Lord!" he muttered. "Indeed I do. Very, very much!” And doubtless, since the Kingdom of God is made up of those who love others better than themselves, God understood to smile on Higgins and upon a man and woman who knew what matriaee and love could mean. ; Upon a trio who felt earth to be 1 not far from Heaven at that moment. "The tea must wait a bit.” Higgins said to the cook. "They’re busy with more important affairs!” The End.
