A SECRET REUNION
pAN.N'Y took a night traiu for
Kvansvlllo, about 40 miles from
CloiiKlibarre, and cotinerted by an
Intenirbau trolley. She could not
afford a sleeper and did not care
she could not have slept anyway.
In tho morning sho found Bhu jucst
had time for a bath and change
before the curly trolley.
As slio pinned her disguise, the
black willow's veil, about her hat,
she laughed aloud. What a con
spirator alio wouU make how
sholla would enjoy hearing about
it. Clutching a little Jouvlei'e box
in her hand she sallied forth, al
most light-heartedly.
As she lingered hy the Johnsons'
lilac hedge, pretending to smell the
blossoms, she saw a block away
small figure come alone out ot the
Frosts- front gate. Fanny barely
had t i mo to snatch off her widow's
veil and thrust It under a lilac
bush, pull on her cream colored
inousquetalre glovea she had car
lied In tissue paper to keep from
soiling.
Fanny's heart was beating so
wildly she could hardly speak.
"Sheila." she got out when the
child wan within a few feet of her
but gently so as not to frighten
her "Sheila; It's Mother. Don't
yon remember me?"
Sheila slopped and regarded her
gravely a sturdy, brown-faced
lltllo girl, with bluish gray eyes
set wide apart, in a plain tan linen
frock. Tho darling, the darling!
Sheila evidently was wrestling
with an agony of embarrassment
"Yes ... 1 think 1 do," she said
shyly nt Inst.
"Sheila, darling, Mothor's come
all the way from New York to sec
you. 1 want so much to tulk to
you. Will you walk a little way
with me';"
"I'll bo lale to school."
"Jus: a little Into. Will It mailer
much Jurat this once?"
"I'm having a parly; It's my
birthday," said Sheila.
"Of courso It Is. Do you think
.Mother's ever forgotten?' See. I've
brought you a present." l-anny's
hands trembled so slio dropped the
llltle box. Sliella plcliod It up hut
made no move to open It. They had
been walking slowly tiward the
school. Fanny hold her breath ns
they nenrcd the corner. A short
block distant was Hie small strip
ot parkway which stood between
the river and Cloughbarre's IicbI
refildonco district. Without word
or glance, but without hesitating.
Sheila turned at right angles to
ward tho river and led the wuy to
a bench half hidden by an enor
mous flowering fnrsylhia hush.
"Why did you go away?" she
asked In a small voice.
Fanny hnstily gulped down the
lump in her threat.
"Darllug. Mother was sent away.
Or rather, surb things were snld to
bur cruel wicked things that she
could not stay longer In your grand
mother's house. Mother had done
Bumolhlug she shouldn't some
thing that looked bad, hut wasn't.
Mother hasn't time to explain now;
but when you are older and can
understand better I promise to tell
you ull about It. You must not be
lieve that she ever d:d anything
dreadful."
"Wouldn't Daddy bollove you?"
"Your grandmother wouldn't, and
rover saw your father alone. It
was always hard for Mother to talk
hofore Grandmother. She's a good
woman but so . . . ao different that
eho never understood vory well."
"Daddy's alone In bis ofllce; wo
could go and see blm now and tell
him."
"Darling blessed child! You do
hollevo Mothor?"
"Why. yes," said Sheila, wonder
ing. It had never occurred lo her
to disbelieve.
"And you won't forget to come to
Iho different rooms. At the con-
I r'luHion or tbn nror-ram old Snntn
ctiHio In nnrl delivered a generous
trotr-t of eanily au'd nuts to llu? chil

seo mo as soon as you can when
you're older?"
Sheila promised not to forget (
Somewhere across the river a
clock began striking. One . . . two
. . . five . . . seven , . . nine. Nine
o'clock. Her train left F.vansvllle
a little after eleven; And Sliella
mustn't bo too late for school.
"Darling, you haven't looked at
your present. You may not like It.;
Can you guess what 1 have on a
shelf in my closei?'' '
"Another present?"
"All the presents I've bought for
you on your birthdays and Christ
mases ever since 1 Went away.
First I bought dolft then I remeni-,
bered you were growing toe big for
dolls so I bought books such heav
enly fairy stories and a little red
tam-o'-shanter, a string of rose
quartz oh, lots and lots ot things.
When you come we can look at
them and then give them away." :
Sheila glanced quickly up at her
mother.
"I wouldn't like to gtvt) them
away," she said, and was seized
with an agony of shyness. To cover
it she began hastily unwrapping her
present. On a pad ot while velvet
in a white kid box lay a small fat
gold heart encruBted with pearls
and turquoises. "It's beautiful.'
Oh. Mother, it's beautiful." '
"You really like It?"
"I love it It's the beaucltulestj
present I ever had."
"Darling, Mother has to go In m
minute. Tell Die what you do all
day what you Hire to do."
"I like my pony most, I think.'
And I like Marjorle that's my best
friend. And dancing school. Ob,
I like lous ot things."
"Do you Mill go to the Baysbnrsv
for the summers?"
"Yes. Mother. When t am lt
Daddy Is going to take me to Eu
rope for a long visit with Aunt
Amelia."
"Your Aunt Amelia and I used to
be great friends. I've often thought
that if she had been home " Fanny
stopped abruptly; then asked it
Lcona was still with them.
"Oh, yes. Somotlmos I think 1
like Leona next best to Daddy and
you." This last scarcely audible.
"Thank you, sweetheart You've
made me very happy," Fanny man
aged to say. She longed to snatch
Sheila fiercely to her heart to cov.
or her face with kisses. But she
dared veuture no more than to take
a small brown hand In hers, and pat
it. Sheila edged a little closer,
closer still until she was snuggled
ng:iiti3t her mother. When Fan
ny's arm went, round her she gave a
lltllo sigh of content. They smiled
at each other, shyly yol Intimately.
Temporarily at least the live years'
BHiKiriilluu was sponged out; Fanny
had her child hnclt.
"Sheila . . . what do they tell you
about me?"
"Nothing:. Just that yon went;
nwuy and Mint you mustn't be talked
about because. It makes Daddy up
happy." "Dearest, It docs dreadful things
to little girls to ho ashamed ot their
mnthors. If other girls hint things,
if they slop milting when mothers
are mentioned, Just remember what
I've lolil you that there's no real
roason to he ashamed, that when
you nro a llltle older it will all ba
explained."
The clock across the river struck
the quarter hour and Fanny knew
that she must go. Sheila made no
protest, hut alio clung to her
mother, linked hor to promlBO
tn come again her next birthday.
"Swootheurt, If I can I'll surely be
here. I'll enmn every year. We'll
have that to look forward to."
"Couldn't you write lo me?"
"They wouldn't give you my let
ters, and I enn't teach you to go on
deceiving your father by writing to
me. I hope It Isn't wtnng to asK
yon not to lull him, or anyone, that
you have seen tne. Out It they find
oul und ask you, you must be quite
frank. Your father won't blame yon
will know It's all my fault' In
side your locket on a piece of pa
per Is my address. Will you bide It
somewhere and if you are ever real
ly ill have Leona telegraph me?"
They ventured on a hurried kiss.
Then Sheila was gone tor good,
running fast but turning every lit
tle whllo tn wave.
"I like teona next beet to Baddy
and you," she had aariO.
Fanny's hart both ached nd
sang. Sheila wm hers again at
least a little hers. In spite ot tb
pain thai was rapture. '
