Sophia dally assured her

It was flint Sophia's faithfulness knew
no tiring.
Sophia had also managed Roger
throughout his growing manhood. All

discouraged, and 1 ossible attachments
avoided. Roger was the sole support
of the home, and ivlnit right hud hi—

Ing her into these surroundings. And
Roger, notwithstanding his while hair,
was still young and good to look upon.
Returning at evening from the per
plexities of his great business concern,
he was wont to be entertained by So
phia's recitals of her trying day and
his mother's fractious complainings
of her tiresome lot. And when life :'P
peared to be stretching forth Into but
troubled repetition of days a breath
of springtime floating over the veran
da pailtigs caressed the old mother's
face.
“I am going out for n time, mother,”
Sophia said, “and Nellie will be near
to wait upon you.
Mother Case closed her eyes and
grunted as her solicitous daughter
whisked away.
Nellie till- maid ehatted happily on
the rear porch with Bob, th*- chauf
feur. But beneath her closed lids
Mother Case was seeing memory pic

spring breeze. Herself a pretty conn-
try maiden, in print gown and sunbon
net—roaming tile fragrant fields in
search of violets.
Mother Case opened her eyes in a
flutter of excitement—and there be-
fore her, smiling at her over the ve
randa rail stood a replica of the girl
of Iter fancy.
"I did not mean to awaken you,”
said the girl, "but you seemed 111 and
I thought—”
Mother Case looked eagerly Into the
glowing face framed by a pink sun-
bonnet ; her eyes, no longer tired, fol
lowed the Hues of the girl’s pink entn-
brie dress.
“Where «ere you going?" she asked
abruptly.
The girl smiled.
“To hunt violets,” she replied, "in
n thicket Just beontl those trees.” The
pink vision hesitated.
“Would you like nte to bring some
back to you?'
Mother Case grappled suddenly with
her cane.
"I am going with you,” she an-
nounced. “Could you bear my weight
on your shoulder?'
“Why, yes," the girl agreed.
Anil like a happy child the world-
weary old woman entered Into the
gnifie of her fancy.
Sophia returning at evening founl

“Nellie should have taken you up

It was several days later when she
