"What time was that?" "A little after five. The tea gong had gone some time. I was going to the library to tell Mr. Parrish that tea was ready ..." Mr. Humphries made a note. He nodded to show he was listening. "I crossed the hall and went down the library corridor. I knocked on the library door. There was no reply. Then I heard a shot and a sort of thud."
The room was now utterly destitute of furniture, but the heart of the mother rejoiced at the knowledge that for a couple of weeks longer her children would have food. A few days after Mrs. Wentworth had sold her last piece of furniture, Dr. Humphries was walking along one of the principal streets in Jackson when he was stopped by a crowd that had gathered in front of an auction mart.

"There is now but one thing that gives me thought," she continued, her voice growing weaker each moment, "our little boy " "Shall have a home so long as I live and his father is serving his country," interrupted Dr. Humphries. "Rest easy on that subject, madam," he continued, "it will be a pleasure for me to take care of the boy." "Then I die happy," said Mrs.

"Then take a walk with me to the residence of Dr. Humphries," said Harry, "and I will introduce you to my betrothed."
