Bonnie's voice was steady, and her eyes looked coolly into the other girl's. The nurse looked at Bonnie and marveled. She knew the name of Paul Courtland well; she telephoned to that name every day. How was it that the girl did not know it? She liked this girl and the man who had brought her here and been so anxious about her. But who on earth was this huzzy in fur? Gila looked at Bonnie madly.
If I hadn't thought so I wouldn't have told him he might come and see her to-morrow!" Then she went into Bonnie's room, took the letter with the Western postmark, and stood it up against a medicine-glass on the little table beside the bed, where Bonnie could see it the first thing when she opened her eyes.
"Listen, dear!" went on Bonnie's steady, tender voice. "God doesn't want to punish. He wants to save. He is waiting to forgive you if you will let Him!" Something in her low-spoken words caught and held the attention of the soul in mortal anguish. Gila fixed her great, anguishing eyes on Bonnie. "Forgive! Forgive! How could anybody forgive all I've done!
Then I slicks up a bit at a Turkish bath and at 7:25 I'm waitin' with the biggest taxi I can find in front of Bonnie's hotel. I expect I must have let out a sigh of relief when she shows up and I notice that she's shed the unsteady velvet lid.
Bonnie Doon got the case for us off his local district leader, who's a member of the same lodge of the Abyssinian Mysteries Bonnie's been Supreme Exalted Ruler of the Purple Mountain for over a year and he's pulled in quite a lot of good stuff, not all dog cases either! Appleboy's an Abyssinian too." "I'll see them," consented Mr. Tutt, "but I'm going to have you try the case.
Bonnie's eminently respectable family descended upon the college in an indignant body for the purpose of taking her home, and were with difficulty soothed by an equally indignant faculty. The alumnæ wrote that in their day such brutal games as basket-ball had not been countenanced, and that they feared the college had deteriorated.
Somehow speak peace to his soul and help him to know Thee, for Thou art the only One that can help him. Help him to tell Thee all his heart's bitterness now, alone with Thee and his little child, and find relief." Softly Courtland arose and slipped from the room, leaving them alone with the Presence. Gila had been gone two months when the day was finally set for Bonnie's wedding.
There was a little stiffness in Bonnie's last words, and a cool withdrawal in her eyes that brought Courtland to his senses and made him remember Gila's insinuations. "Look here!" he said, calming down and taking his chair again. "You don't understand, and I guess I ought to explain. In the first place get it out of your head that I'm acting fresh or anything like that.
Bonnie tried to smile again, but only ended in a sigh. "Oh, it doesn't matter," she said, and then, after a minute, "You've been very good to me. Some time I hope I can do something for you. Now I'm going to sleep." The nurse went out to look after some of her duties. Half an hour later she came back to Bonnie's room and entered softly, not to waken her.
Courtland was surprised to find Father Marshall waiting for him on the platform, in a great buffalo-skin overcoat, beaver cap, and gloves. He carried a duplicate coat which he offered to Courtland as soon as the greetings were over. "Here, put this on; you'll need it," he said, heartily, holding out the coat. "It was Steve's. I guess it'll fit you. Mother and Bonnie's over here, waiting.
