“I have'come,’’ she said, “to ask
what you are going to do with me.
There is money missing from the safe.
There is no way to prove my Inno
cence, for I liclieve I alone have the
combination, and I am too poor to re
turn the money. Of course, you can
not know or understand that I would
not steal"—and the woman wept bit
terly.
“Why do you say I cannot under
stand?” he asked.
“I do not know,” she said. “I only
felt you would not—no one ever does,
We are born in one, sphere and forced
to live in another, where it is all mis
trust and bitterness."
“I do know; I do understand,” he
replied.
The woman looked at him through
her tears anil saw two great eyes of
kindness, yet she dared not believe.
“Yon really do not think I took the
money?" she asked.
“And If I didn't would you care,
other than for the disgrace?"
“Yes, oh yes’ I shoo hl want von
to think me honest, because I know
bow you hate dishonesty."
“Then I do believe in , wir Innocent*--.
There are none who can so sympa
thise as those who have suffered, anil
I only hope you may never suffer as
I have.”
“But you. sir, are rich,’
“Yes, in money, Imt as
I have none.”
How site wished to tell him how Aho
admired and loved him! But she was
a woman, and only a tn>okkee[>er. so
she thanked him for bls trust In her.
Imt forgot to offer him the word of
sympathy, and lie. thinking no one
could love him, mistook her modesty
for Indifference.
So the word which trembled on bi«
lip« when be saw her troubled was
left unsaid.
