CHAPTER 7
Copxrijbt, l:i. by Bur Corapanr '
HELEN GORMAN went softly up to
her 'room.
She did not wish Mrs. Ovlngton to
know that she was st home yet. She
dosed her door noiselessly, then turned
th key. She must be alone when she
read what Elisabeth had to tell her.
She opened the envelope and saw that
it contained a sealed telegram. With it
was a half -sheet of -paper -on. which
Elisabeth bad written:
Dear .Nell: This telegram arrived
this morning. - It would be well tor you
to notify the sender of your present ad
dress. Had this Come twenty-four hours
later you would not- have received it, for
X am leaving my apartment early to-'
morrow morning. I am to be married
on Tuesday and sail for Europe on that
day much earlier than planned. . :". -
I am sorry you could not see Tom
and let- him tell yeu of my arrange

in my home when I return in the Fall
Lntil then, try to be less consorloua of
"Your friend. . f BETTT."
Sailing for, Europe! She and Tom
were to be married as soon ss this !
Then they were "going abroad !
The room seined to reel and rock be
fore Helen' eyes. She dropped Into a
chair and buried her face in her hands.
Married i : It could not be true ! And
only yesterday Tom had asked her to go
for a drive with- him this afternoon. She
had .refused, even though he had urged
her to se WnV;':;r--v--S'r- '; . ' -. :

knowing of Helen's disapproval of mar
riages for money; had delegated Tom to
notify her' friend of their coming- wed
ding, .-; -.- - "J
Had Helen not refused his invitation.
she would have heard from his own lips
of his betrothal. -Tom Andrews and she
would have driven out into the country
this beautiful afternoon and he would
have explained everything to her. It
would have been impossible for Helen to
tell him the truth' in' return that Ellsa
beth did not love him. r. '. J. .' ;
.Helen .had insisted to him once that
Betty cared for Willard. Of course, Tom
did not believe her statement. Even then
he bad . Elisabeth's promise -to marry
nun. f . , f --. :f: . ..-.-,- -.?-. ; -1
. With "the excited imagination of leal
ousy, Helen Gorman jumped to the con
clusion that theesse. that Elisabeth
Mayo, had been nursing- lately- was one
of Tom's patents. The nurse had spoken
of going abroad next Summer with this
patient, who -was, she said.' the aunt of
we utue trtri who had died early- in the
Winter.- But she had never intimated
that either the hlld or the woman was
ur. Anarewr patient.
So Betty had lied when she spoke of
traveling with the Invalid. She had tried
to hide the truth from everybody while
she and the young physician who had.
as wouy uater bad said, "oodles of
money were planning to steal off in

This is what Tom had wanted to tu

Of course, she reminded herself, she

deceiving' her for weeks. But hope dies
hard, and until the enrcagement was an
acknowledged fact Helen . might hav
persauded herself that she was mistaken.
Now. hovrevtr. she knew.
A half-hour passed while she paced

"All right, my dear," replied Winsome.
"All right, my dear, I'm going." He did
start, but apparently he forgot what he
had started for. - Instead of hunting for
soft, dead grass he flew over to a fence
post and whistled. The truth is his heart
was my full of Joy-thatt .he Just had to
tell all about it- - But Mrs, Bluebird
