She melted under Hughs friendly agreeableness, and was soon loqut cious about her and the trials she had had to bear with her children. Presently Hugh began talking. She cried out when he related what Ellen had attemptea, but when he suggested that the girl go abroad with his mother very soon, a smile appeared on her lips. I.a wondering wonderill-hea- half-scornf- ul ing! Ellen raised her head, touched her shining eyes with her handkerchief. Excuse me I go all weepy with grief or happiness late; but it was happiness this ly time ! . . . Oh, Fluvanna, what wonderful precious times we will have together! Pull your chairs up close to mine, said Fluvanna in an oddly hollow voice. Well go over the folders together. The sailing date was set for the seventeenth of April ar.d the days flew by in a hurry of preparation until theie was only a week left for Fluvanna to say good-bto dear familiar furnishings, to Margery and her children, to f Kezia, ... y Just what? Do you suppose it was a trick she played to get her own way? She may have seen you knew youd follow her, tell us about it! Did Ellen ever play tricks to get her own way? Hugh asked gravely. No-- o. She couldnt have seen me. I was too far away. I tell you the girl was desperate half out of her head! Then THE WNU Servlca the place for her ' is a sanatorium not Europe! said Lizzie quickly. Do you want that stigma on her? Hugh pressed his point eagerly. And my mother needs this trip. It will do them both so much good.

If Ellen is to get well, she must have a change of scene for several months. A flush tinged Lizzies faded fairness, a gratified light shoa in her Pool Gavin eyes. She sighed. Im afraid so! Quiet never says much, but absolutely devoted. Youd be surprised if you knew how dependent he is on my advice! We all know that. And how much his success is due to me! Hugh nodded encouragingly. The to Hugh. They reached New York the morning of the day they were to sail. It was mild and sunny They leaned at the rail of the ferry, watching the spires of the city come closer. The skyline has soaring aspiration in it, mused Ellen. Sometimes the tips of buildings are in the. clouds but they always reach up up! I like this approach to the city so much. Hugh smiled down at her. Again he had the feeling of a rose opening; the delicate face, the petal texture of her cheeks, had the softness of a flower. She looked like a different person these last few weeks since she knew she was to Whether leave Corinth. Ellen would paint great pictures or not, he did not know, but he knev that as her charm moved him, it would move others. The unconscious seeking for love was in her melodious voice, in the graceful movements of her slight figure. Wha she sought she would find Ocihaps on this trip.

His tall, easy bulk filled the narrow aperture; the light from the corridor shone on his f see. A wave of pride surged up in her, Thats my exquisite exultation. son my son! her pale lips murmured. Ellen and Hugh explored the lounge, the library, and the dining salon, then went for a turn about the deck. They paused and stood at the bow of the boat. The April air was sweet and murmurous. A mystery overhung the deep water of the river.

(TO BE CONTINUED) Fluvanna rested in the hotel belief which he helped her build as to Gavins need of her, was useful to him, and harmless to her. It gave her stubborn mind something to cling to, and might allow Ellen to depart in peace. That night in the library he tossed some travel pamphlets to Ellen and his mother. , I got these today from an agency. Look tjiem over and tell me which trip you two would like to take.
