At that time we wore only living over our chlldUh pranks. Only AflorHc Ilml Gone. It waa only aftor ho left mo nnd I readlied how far I had gonu along tho way from childhood's Irrospomilblllty that the thoughts 1 have Just written came Into my mind. I know that when my mind was In the aacondnnt I was not particularly happy If I were not physically comfortable and spiritually well fud. I reallzod that If my spirit wax tioaiing In a rarlllcd atmonphcru: 1 wa not happy ttnleae my matorlnl being wan alo well cared for. Physl-j cal comfort haa a greater effect upon J mind and the spirit than the mind and: the spirit have upon physical comfort.' Show, mo a person with a mind at eae ii ml I will ahow you a human being that is also perfectly honlthy. I was vary alid that I had gotten into this framo of mind and forgotten ull about myself except Jn an Impor-, sonal wt)'. After Charles' vlnlt I do-, lermlnod to have trawlcrry short- cake very often. Xow Isn't that Uly and childish? It' li Just another wav of saying I Kolng to enjoy what rami to mo and forget all unhapj events that werej pasx. I have lrirneil to analz the' cn use of my well being, and after Charles went away 1 no longer! thought of John or Karl. I Juat un- Creased and went to sleep. I , JtcnialtiA In Hod. ' It was. howover, a long time before I had Mlrawbcrry shortcake again, for) when I awakened the next morning Ij wa3 Kufferlng greatly, and Hannah Insisted In-sisted thut 1 remain In bod. In the aftornoon the old doctor came to seel me and said, "If I were you, my child, I would tflograph for John." j "I am sure," I answered, Mlt isn't necwaar)' yet." And then I thought) how foolish of me to controvert the opinion of a physician. I wta timid about telegraphing John, howevor, for T folt ho would think that I should have T;ept him with mo when be wan here. lie would not roalize that my 'illnosa would at lust come so suddon-ily. suddon-ily. However, I wired him: ' Am not woll a', all today. Think you had bet- 1 tor come to me, aiiu bikucu i .n-nu.ii-crlno." I did not know for days afterward 'that John had answered my telecram 'fwylng that unless I was absolutely , suro that It was necessary for him to corno he felt it Impossible to break 'awny from business, that It seemed I to him I might' have known whon he 'was with me. Now, howevor, he had .found his work piling up so that he could not be taken away from It for ' foolish fear or any womanly desires I of reconciliation. ' OjKmctl by Charles. I This telegram was opened by 1 Charles, and I learned from Hannah .that he was so Incensed that ho would 'not kocp It. but put It In a sealed cn-Ivflopo cn-Ivflopo and handed .it to her. Haying, "When Mr. Gordon does come, give this back to him. Do not undor any consideration allow Katherlno to see If In the moantimo they tell me I was going down, down, down Into the very shadows of death. But to me It wa only a world of Intolerable agony nnd j pain. ' 1 forgot everything, even the wonderful reward that was to be mlno; even the great joy that would crown my womanhood.
