The child ceased crying, and with big blue tear-wet eyes looked with wonder upon his dusky faced deliverer. The child did not understand the word of greeting, but he did understand, with the intuition and instinct of little children and dumb creatures, that Abel was his friend.
But when their tear-wet eyes beheld a girl and two men, some deep-down primordial pride of womanhood rushed to their rescue and, flowing through their veins, performed a miracle beyond the power of any patent remedy. The five forlorn girls became at need the five stately goddesses Mme. Nadine paid them to be. But she got her passage free.
But she turned away from him as much as possible that he might not see, and so they must have driven for half an hour through a dim sweet wood before he happened to catch a sight of the tear-wet face, and knew suddenly that there were other troubles in the world beside his own. “Why, child, what is the matter?” he said, turning to her with grave concern. “Are you so tired?
Mary Rose is all right, you know." And he gave her a little shake. "I'd like to see that for myself, that she is all right." She dabbed her eyes again with the damp little square of linen. He put a hand on each shoulder and looked directly into her tear-wet eyes. "Listen to me. I shan't go to bed until I do know that she's all right. I couldn't sleep. Mary Rose has done too much for me.
But if she be not a woman of the world, then God help her on her tear-wet pillow, or before her slowly-dying fire as she thinks of that hand-pressure. It is enough to last her all her life, she thinks and yet, should it not come again? But should it come again!
Her face, flushed with weeping and lighted by the still tear-wet eyes, if not beautiful, was appealing and pitiful. Some fiber touched of old vibrated anew in his being. He made a step forward. "Ninitta," he said, "I came to-night to ask you to marry me at once; to fulfill the promise I made you so long ago."
Bravely he strove to forget the blood tie that held them. He regarded her from the viewpoint that another man might have. Then he said: "Yes. As God hears me, Lyn yes!" She dropped her head upon his shoulder and wept as if grief instead of joy were sweeping over her. Presently she raised her tear-wet face and said: "I'm going to marry Con, dear, as soon as he wants me.
There must be a stack of mail waiting for me at Banff; I must wire to have it forwarded." "You needn't necessarily give up the trip " She turned her head to dodge an overhanging bough and he caught a glimpse of her face; she was crying; and new and world-shaking emotions were stirred in him by the sight of her tear-wet cheek.
She had found one hot hand, tear-wet from lying under Nola's cheek, and this she held tenderly, feeling it best to let the tears of penitence purge the sufferer's soul in their world-old way. After a time Nola became quieter. She shifted in the bed, and moved over to give Frances more room, and put up her arms to draw her friend down for the kiss of forgiveness which she knew would not be denied.
"Then perhaps you and I would never have met," she murmured. "Better so!" and rising, he paced restlessly up and down the little kitchen "Better that I should never have loved you, Mary, than be so parted from you! By money, too! The last thing that should ever have come between us! Money! Curse it! It has ruined my life!" She lifted her tear-wet eyes to his.
