Bob heard Marsha I'l call, and suddenly bla world waa reeling. He had not dreamed that the would kiss him, press close to him and cling. Bartholomew had tip toed away. She had not made the scene (or Bartholomew. He found he could not loose her bands, and that he could not apeak. He saw she was pitiably weary, more uncertain and younger than he bad thought she could seem, and obviously smitten by the blow he bad thought would be his alone. "You're tired," he heard himself say after some Interval; "criminal ly, tragically tired. Have you been quite done In by this?" Elie could not respond; she shook her head vehemently, and tried to smile. The wry twist of ber lips made his eyes smart. "We'll Ox yon up!" he promised, sounding angry, lis had left too much to her; he had abused ber In thinking her to bo the fabrlo that would be untouched by tragedy that was not bers alone. He felt ber band upon bla arm and patting It nervous ly, absurdly. "You must be tired," she stated, "and you must eat some luncheon. It's waiting you." "I don't seem" (again the numb ness that slowed bis speech waa gripping him) "to be hungry." "1 know. But you'll try to eat?" she questioned and she raised an anxious face to his after ber words. He promised be would try to eat and an hour later she 8At opposite him at a small table she had set before the drawing-room fire. The arrangement had been thoughtful of Marsha, he realized. She had known bow the empty place at the dining-room table would af fect him. He found himself eating more heartily than he bad In daya and even tasting the food. Up to tbat moment all foods had been the same; flavorless and yet apt to nauseate one as one chewed method ically. "What haa wrecked you so?" he asked abruptly. She laughed, but ber eyes filled; "How delightfully courtly," she murmured. "Oh." he murmured flatly, "you're prettier than over, If yon want that, but you're 111. I left too much to you." "No!" she contradicted violently; "I would not have been denied do ing anything 1 did!" She reached quickly for a glass of water: he saw the shaking of her band as she drank. Then, a trifle steadied, she smiled almost natural ly at him. Bartholomew entered with the coffee tray which he set upon a low table by Marsha's side. He disappeared, closing the door after himself. "I'm ready to talk of anything any time you want to," she said. MARSHA told Bob, quite evenly. " but In a voice that now and again grew a trifle faint ot the fu neral, of the beautiful flowers, of bow quite everyone Mrs. Powers bad known had sent them. She bad a list of people who had sent the flowers, Marsha stated and of what aorts they had sent. She felt Bob would have liked the atmple service; she bad arranged it with thought ot bis taste, and of his mother's liking tor simplicity. She told of notos that had come and of how she had answered them. He realized, sitting sagged In his clmlr, that she had, with great care, collected every hit ot Information that ahe felt would help blm. There waa a gentle, every doy steadiness about her narration that steadied blm. He thought, "After all, she Is not o deeply touched, and there Is something about remoteness, cal lousness, that helps others at times like those. If sho hod cried where would I nave boonl" She thought. "I am doing ttilil It Is helping him!" She bad rehearsed It again and again and again, but she had never ot.ee quite finished the rehearsal without a stiffening of throat and that shaking which forewarns of going to pieces. "Did did she suffer?" he man aged to ark. Prospect PROSPECT. Auk. 14. iSplI Mrs. LiK-y Bliss and son Arthur, of Klam ath Palls, sre house guests at tlif William Jnntrer home tins week.

It waa entirely peaceful." 8b paused a moment to sip ber coffee; he waa staring sombrely at the nil at bla feet fie did not see her trem bling, she realized with a covert, testing glance. And the fact that she was doing It rather well, gave her new strength. She told Bob next of what his mother had said ot him; of all tbat bad happened. He seemed to listen soddenly, but she understood bis suffering. "Was It reasonable or fair?" be questioned abruptly. She knew Bob apoke of his failure to reach home In time. "No." she answered, "I don't think It was. But it Is one ot those facta that can curdle a life If you'll let It. You'd better talk all you can of your resentment I think It rather helps." He said, frowning, moving uneasi ly, "I'd so wanted to come; I'd thought so continually of It And there was no getting away. I'm not the world'a marvel, but I waa the only man they could get now who could swing that job. And my paus ing meant stopping tbe work of others. They couldn't stand the fi nancial strain of any pause. "I thought of It, weighed It I couldn't see how I could leave " "I know," he heard, "and so did your mother; she understood per fectly. She spoke again and again In a way that made me know she did. And the doctor had told me, and I'd written you, that hor Ufa would balonger. You must not reproach yourself." He ran hla hands through his stiff, sandy hair; "for the sake of the workers and the company the work bad to go on!" be said Jerkily, "but It wasn't reasonable for God, or whatever It Is who runs things, to make me the one man P tted to the Job. I thought" "I know," Marsha murmured. Bob thought dully, "You have the most beautiful eyes" they were filled with sympathy and feeling; and they acemed to caress him. "WOD see, I wanted to come every second. But I kept thinking of what my betrayed trust would mean to workers, stockholders, to the men who head the firm." "I know," Marsha murmured yet again. Once more he saw, and acute ly, her eyes: her wonderfully kind and beautiful eyes. For a moment he was silent looking Into them; he saw her flush slightly and real ized how pale ahe had been. "It wasn't reasonable, was It?" he probed as would a child who Is pun ished unjustly. "It docs not seem so, Boh," she conceded, "but it is a fact you can't change." "Am I a weak whlnor?" "No, ob nol Talk It out all yon can; your resentment but remem ber that your measure must be, now, a little small." He poured himself another cup of coffee; she leaned across the table to drop a half lump of sugar Into the cup. "You remember well," he said, and he saw hor eyes veiled by hurt "I do romember rather too well, sometimes," she agreed. He would never know how she remembered, ot course, she reasoned, nor of how the lesn "teed on foods the fat of heart despise." Hathcr sjupldly he brought forth his clgarots, and held a lighter to hers and then to hla. As the smoke circled and rose to make a taint blue haze In the stately room he found himself talking of things that had troubled him all the way home. There wore other thlnga that bothered him; little neglects that had frown disproportionate because ot the finality of death. One year he'd forgotten her birthday until It was well past On another occasion he had laughed over those standing ash trays and It seemed she bad got him one tor a surprise. . . He stopped speaking, and Marsha leaned forward to cover his hand with bers. "You are morbid." she said. "Yon won't be able to help bolng so, 1 am afraid, but you can help yourself a little by realizing that you are mor bid, and unfair to yourself. Yon were alwaya so fine to her! 8o dear. Flease believe me!" He was afraid to move his hand, for fear that hers might be taktn from It. After a few seconds, she slipped her other band beneath Bob's, and so clasped It between both of hers. It seemed as It she un derstood his needs and much he could not say. (CetKitkl. t'H. h It.
