WHY MADCH DETERMINED
TO TAKE MARION INTO HER
OWN PARTICULAR CARE.
"Hot water bag and a restora
tive?" j
I asked the question of Lillian
quietly, throwing off my hat and
wrap as I did so- Her eyes were
anxiously- searching her little
daughter's face but she gave me a
signal of assent - with her head,
and I went swiftly out of the
room.
Luckily I am familiar with ev
ery cranny of Lillian's menage no
it was but the work of a few min
utes to gather together all the
things I thought she might need.
As I worked, my mind busied it
self with the problem which Mar
ion presented.
I knew that she was an intensely
nervous child, had toeen so from
birth. And the strangeness of
her upbringing, her separation
from her mother, her father's in
difference, her llnelineis. save for
the feeble grandmother whom she
adored but who couldn't take
nrooer care of her had thwarted
her chances for normal, neaiiny

From babyhood she had .been
her grandmother's Idol and i her
grandmother hers. Old Mrs. Mor
ton belonged to the emotional
hysterical type of women, .and
she petted the child constantly
and spoiled her outrageously.! And
when Lillian finally regained con
trol of the little child her mother
heart was too hungry for the ba
by of whom she had been de
prived so long to see that the lit
tle girl had the Judicious "let
ting alone" which her taut,
childish nerves demanded.
Now the grandmother lay dy
ing, and I was sure that it-the
little girl went through the awiui
experience of seeing her grand
mother dead or dying for death
is a sight no child should wit
ness the shock would have last
ing, perhaps irreparable effects.
L.llian. I feared, was too ab
sorbed In her little daughter to
use correctly the keen Judgment
which was habitually hers. And
the Right of Mai Ion's pinch-.
bloodless face, her twitching eye
lids, bad born in opon tne the
conviction that she ouxht t. l
removed.; from the hou' of
death asjuulekly as posill.
