Her
eves. Imploring, anguished, look
cd straight (nto mine, almost com-j
pe!!ing. a belief in-her smcefity.
Her hand?. were twisted horribly;
together, as if she had polledJ
them, out of shape In their elatch
one upon the other. , I think I
flaould hawe 'surrendered utterly
to her . appeal as If it had not been
for a memory -which ftaahed, be

Again I stood beside the bed
' upon which. Grace Draper lay ap
parently delirious jand dyingTrom
her self-inflicted wound ; after
her"?attempt to- ehoot ' Dicky
Ar?fn J.liatened to her ravings,
and then'to the unmasking of her
pretended delirium by Dr. .Peitit.
And the voice witalwhJcjb, she ad
dressed' me sounded as clearly in
my ears as tie Words she had lust
uttered. .-, : f; , -
; And yon will never. know, will
you Madge1, dear, just; how much
of -what I have said was false and
how much true?" .
Only One Request.
She hadflung that barbed doubt
of Dicky's truth at me when she
was facing almost ceftavn death.
1 1 had sueceded in pushing it so
far dawn la my consciousness that
! rarely did I .feel its sharp .thrust.
But : her ' hesitation, ' her hurried
(qualifying phrase, ' .'vainly, of
i course," dragged V it; jaggedly 7 to
the surface, ind I;knew that-no
I matter what decision s I . made fori
I or against her, . the festering .track
of " that-old : barb -would ' remain
' She was speaking. again, and . I
could i hardly "believe that -1 was

Again i there .scmnded in my
brain a tiny note if warning. But
It. was faint, so lielit "in the scale
as compared t with the weight of
th girl's -tragic, . abasexi appeal,
that I put"' It aside and' stretched
out my hands impulsively toward
her. 'Her 'piteous contrasting of
her lot' with mine had broken
down my last barrijer.
"My pardon I &ijve you freely,"
I said simply, foil in honesty I
eould not disclaim j the truth that
she hadj injured ip almost beyond
forgiveness. "Audi tell me how 1
can be of-assistanc to you."
-rShe caught my thajnds in hers and
bent over them, illwas afraid she
meant to kiss theii, and" though
1 lorgave her. I iel that I couldn't
bear the touc hOf her lips. But
hot tears, - not kisses, fell npon
them, ' and I .heard her broken
murmurs of thankfulness, f; When
at last she lifted hr head a look
of quiet peace had succeeded the
anguish which had! been portrayed
in her face. i ' '

t4 speak from hells; "And there
isi only one bit of assistance that
I need from you of shall ever ask

And,that is "I said.

twisted her lips. ' !

frost Wednesday --night did con
piderable damage' to oarly , gar
dens in this part of the county
Whether any damage was done to
fruit?., remains to be' seen. The
frost '.was one of the heaviest ex
perienced in - this locality durin
the month of May for many years
and may haye a damaging effect
on ' prunes and 'cherries. It has.
been estimated that the prune
crop will, be but about onerhalt
of the average crop, this cpndi
tion is not ; attributed to" the
weather conditions this spring
but to the hot, dry weather of
the latter part of last summer.
