"within his hand?. Great vistas were
opened up to ktm and he gasped tliefr
possibilities eagerly.
U was with only a -slight pain that
he faced the parting with his mother
and the faint rpgret at the thought
of Ruth was tinged wit& renunciation.
The stirring vita! things lay beyond,
out in the mighty, pulsing cities In
the great unexplored. He felt the
first definite- pain wITen Ruth raised
her eyes to his in a miile protest and
battled bravely with her tears. But
his' Borrow was for her ratner than
himself.
At first his letters were long and
frequent. They breathed of tender

great whirl and glitter of the social

occasional glimpse and marvelled at
the brilliant wit of woman aud the
splendor of^thelr costumes.
But at length his letters grew short

It was not uatll a year had passed
that Ruth and his mother received
word of his home-coming.
After the first glad, welcoming
thought, the mother glanced with a
sudden fear about the dingy old home.
How " TnsufTTcient and intolerable It
would seem to him now. Her gaze
lingfred wistfully about the dearly
beloved things. Each one had its own
little niche and use. but with a tight

and with a toomeifhVry sense of shrink- !

There were but few diamonds In Mer

she sent the *ilk away, and ;jt the end
