Ti like to know about It But honestly, darling, do I have to wait very long? I've already marked time for nearly six months, remember." "Oh tush, it hasn't been six month! since you dashed down to Roekboro to snatch me from Bob Eddis." "But I've known you six months and been in love with you all the time." "Have you really, CurtT" "The first day you came into Vln eo's with that strange fellow who was he, by the wayT You've never told me." "Oh, he's named Oliver Land and Z met him at the Steeles and he told me about Vinco's and took me there,' Even now while she was so happy,, there was a little sharp spot when she remembered Oliver, not of regret but of anger. Curt seemed to find Oliver sum ciently explained. He returned to more Important matters. "But when are we going to get married, that what I want to know? D'you think your mother will object to me?" "No, I don't believe she wilt Dar ling Anne, she's the most wonder ful, the grandest she didn't want me to marry Bob Eddis, Curt." "That rates her a million per cent with me. But I haven't got much to offer you, Rachel. I'll nev er be rich or distinguished or even notorious. How about sending your mother a nice long cable, sort of breaking the subject gently?" "I might do that. 1 wonder what's your mother going to say?" "That woman's been abusing me something shameful tor being so alow. She said that you sounded exactly like the kind of girl she al ways wanted me to marry and if I dldnt propose to you pretty soon she'd come and do it for me. By the way, what kind of on engage ment ring would you like best? I can get mat on you even if you won't be married for an eon or two. Would you like an emerald, or a sapphire?" "Anything but a sapphire," said Rachel. And Curt," she went on, "let's be honest with each other, don't let's have any secrets or eva sions or hidden feelings. They're bad for any kind of love. There are some things I must tell you about myself and Anne nothing that matters specially. I want you to know. And after that no more. While you were telling me about your mother I wanted to tell you about mine." It was a long time before the story of Anne Vincent and Elinor Cayne was done. Curt asked many questions. Rachel must tell all that had happened and what it had done to her. At the end she asked him, with terrible earnestness: "Was It wrong not to tell Elinor? Hadn't I the right to choose, then, who was my mother? Because I knew it was Anne, it must be Anne, everything turned me back to Anne, even not letting Elinor know was what Anne would have wanted, I'm sure of that And yet, It troubles me, to have been so near Elinor and not said a word." "Darling, look at the facts. No earthly good could have some from telling her you were her child even if she'd have believed it, which I greatly doubt It would only have stirred everything up into a far worse mess than it wasand it was sad enough. And you ought to forget the whole thing. I doa't mink you ought to tell Anne that you ever went sear Elinor." "That's another thing I wonder about Curt, and hate myself for having been the one to find out about the thief and letting Mr. Cayne know. I went there to that house longing to see my own moth er, thinking rd find something I'd missed and all I did was to bring a lot of trouble on her and on her husband, too.' "But Rachel, you didn't bring it on her, she brought it on berselt Grant that you were the instrument an instrument was inevitable. Sooner or later Mr. Cayne would have found the thing out You didn't make her a vain and selfish wom an, you didn't make her hate her husband, you didn't make her steal. Be sorry for her if you want but don't be maudlin and reproach yourself for what she is, or what she's done. She's your mother only because she brought you into the world. But Anne's your real moth er." "Anne said, when she told me, that motherhood can be nothing but a physical act" "Anne was telling the truth. And you ought to forget the whole thing. I don't think you ought to tell Anne that you ever went near Elinor." "You don't?" "No, I certainly don't If 11 only be painful for both of you and then. when she gets to thinking it over. she might feel that she could never count ou you again, that there was some want, some deficiency in your love for her. It might trouble her beyond anything you can Imagine." -Rachel slipped her arm through dirt's arm as they walked along. "There's a Postal Telegraph on Fif- ty-second street," she said, "and that's only two blocks down." Curt hung over her shoulder as she wrote: To Madame Henry Vincent care La Comtesse Helene de Bernard, Castillon sur - Dordogne, Oironde, France. Darling mother please take the next boat and come home stop Curt Elton and I are by way of getting engaged and I must know whether he suits you for a son-in-law stop besides you have been away too long and I have missed you too much stop I want to see you, I need you and I love you as much as you de serve which is entirely, completely all stop hurry, hurry, hurry home to Your neglected child Rachel Vincent The precise little clerk read the message twice and counted the words. . You could cut this down a lot It's going to cost a lot of money," he said. It's worth It" said Curt and Rachel in chorus. The little man glanced at the two of them and back again at the ca ble. "I guess so," he said shyly One mother's all we ever got" THE END.)
