but she could hardly realize it even

Just as he disappeared round the s
corner, the door opened and a small, -
slight and very sweet-faced elderly
woman came in.

than who will feel deeply, bitterly,
the consequences of this sinful act, tef
Eand before long .you will suffer for
it. There could be no blessing on
such a union. You would be throw-
ing away yotir eternal happiness,”
was her mother’s final plea,
“Anyhow, I mean to risk it, J
can't stand thia life of anxiety any
longer,” and to stop all further dis-
cussion Gertrtide hurried to her own
room, where she locked herself in.
But though she could shut out her
mother, ahe couldn't stifle the re-
proach of her-conscience, and she
was torn between her sense of duty
and her desire for the life of ca/-i
that was offered her. Mr. Royston
came again that evening to talk
over necessary arrangements, and
she had expected his presence to al-
lay her doubts and scruples, but In
that she was disappointed, fc,
though kind -and considerate as
usual, he was? nervous, constrained
and absent minded. Altogether she
ielt something different in his man-
ner, an indefinable aloofness, which
sent a chill to her heart and remind-
ed her of what; her nipt her had said
about his soon repenting of what
be had done,
While they sat talking over the
details, ®H4. Fraser came jn-
L » m. rew, and addressing herself
I to ifei- ^Wsr, appealed to bls con-
] science aha &is.sense of honor, im-
1 plorlng hiite Rot to wreck his own

respect of ■your fellow citizens?"
But the poor ssather’s pleading
seemed vain, and at last she left;
them, weeping and wringing herj
hands in her despair.
When Gertrude entered her room
that night, her eyes tavoluntully
wandered to the Crucitix lunging
' over'her bed. It had been her first
. Communion gift from her beloved
■ fstber, who had always been such
a devout Catholic.

----- ■-, in her daughter’s arms, she wept
tsars of relief and thankfulness.
. In spite of their fatigue and al-
most sleepless night the two were
up early the next morning, and Ger-
trude accompanied her mother ip
church, where they want to Com-
munion together. Boor Gertrude,
hew her heart did beat when she
heard the Judge’s step a few hours
later. It seemed so impossible to
break this news to him, and yet,
after a fervent prayer to the Sacred
Heart, she managed to do so. She
spoke fast, telling of her gratitude
to him, but of her firm determina-
tion to remain faithful to God’s law
at ail cosSs. The Judge listened in
silence, and she dared not look at
him.
••You—you are not angry with
me?" she pleaded. Then, raising
her eyes at last she saw his face
illumined as by a great joy.
"Angry? No! I ate thankful
beyond words. I love and admire
you more than 1 ever did before.
1 knew yesterday that I had act-
ed the part of a Satan towards you,
and I couldn't forgive myself for it,
yet 1 didn’t feel I could draw back.
1 loved you; but somehow you hud
fallen from my high esteem; you
were no longer the angel I had al-
ways thought you, but just an or-
dinary, weak, vacillating, fallible
woman. Now I’ve Jpst the wife I
longed for, ft , is true, but I’ve
found my ideal again. By your
courage you’ve saved us both. God
bless you for ft."
As if to reward her for IiartM
overcome this terrible temsiiaUan
Gertrude s«n afterwards received
the ot a good posit iott Ira a
___-_ and when one® she
had settled down to her new work,
she felt perfectly h®jw with tar
mother and little hoy, and could
not, be thstifci-ul enough for having
remained faithful to her faith and
her duty as a wife.
So nearly a year had passed away
when emo day on going to answer
a Tfug at tbe dwr, she found her-
■ self face to fta@* with a pate, warra,
. almost haggard looking man, who
. ctaaped her tp his hearts raumur-
. ing faintly
“At last! trt last! I have found-
rget—e divorce!” gasped
o wreck of his former bright self,
that she forgot all the anger and
resentment she had nursed up for
years, and the old love for him
seemed to spring up into her heart
stronger than ever. Gently and ten-
ilerly she led him in and helped him
her i to lie down on a couch, for the was
Iso weak he coukl hardly stand, and
I for some days the doctor insisted un
tlieir keeping him very quiet and
not ,allowing him to talk. It was
sufficient joy for the poor wander-
er to lie stiil and gaze lovingly at
his beautiful wife and fine little la.l.
Day by day he gained renewed
strength until he was able to tell
them the story of the past few
years.
Stung by some little remarks '‘is
wife had made tn her Unger, lie
had left home determined never to
return or even write to her until
he bad earned more than enough
to pay back all he had lost through
Us fault and so obtain her pardo’i.
for years he had nothing but mis-
fortunes, until at last he had suc-
ceeded In a big mining ’operation
and amassed a large sum of money.
He was on his way home when he
caught a violent chill, and tor weeks
lay at the hospital between life and
death. Then only had he written
to his wife, but his tetters had nev-
er reached her, and therefore had
newer been answered. Wild with
anxiety he had insisted upon leaving
the hospital before he wan really ‘it
to travel, and in spite of his weak-
ness, had followed one ,clue after
another until,'thanks to Our Lady,;
help, he declared, he had finally
found his wife.
“Some fellows tried to scare mts
by saying that I’d find you’d tired
of waiting tor me rand had divorce I
and married again, but that didn't
trouble me, for, as I told them, I
knew ztiy wife was too good a Cath-
lolic and too faithful a wife to ever
re him. AgnTO r dream of such a tiling.'* he asserted
t .. that moaning; wjys a hoppy iangh, as he gazed
