BY CATHERINE SOUTHERN
Sister Mother Mary was Superior
at the home of the "Good Shepherd"
the sanctuary for abandoned mother
hood.
For many years she had extend
ed mother's arms to greet her way
ward daughters. In her heart were
locked many confidences, many were
the stories she had heard, some piti
ful while many others were foolish.
Just at dusk on a cold night in
Feburary she sat at her post by the
door, and meditated on a letter that
she held in her hand. A letter that
had come back that afternoon mark
ed "unknown" another one of her
daughter's had given a false address.
It was rather discouraging, sister
Mary thought, and she indulged in
a few motherly tears.
The Nun was startled from her
reverie by the ringing of the door
bell. She went quickly into the
vestibule and opened the storm door.
A young girl stood on the steps and
Ias the Sister bent her head to hear
the low toned words, the stranger
fell unconscious at her feet.
It took but an instant for sister
Mary to summon help and soon the
fair young creature was lying on the
couch in the reception room. The
girl's features bespoke good breeding
and refinement. She wore a black
dress, velvet coat and a fur trimmed
hat. Poor soul, sister Mary said, as
she ruffled the girl's cold hands,
some one must be worrying about
her. Then turning to the Nun who
had assisted her said, prepare a bed
Sister and then call Dr. Hamilton I
think she will soon need medical
attention. When the black dress
was removed the good sisters were
surprised to find a wedding ring at
tached to a gold chain hanging
around the girl's neck.
When Ruth Duval again regained
consciousness, her dark dreamy eyes
rested on a wee mite of humanity
nestling close beside her. She layed
her hand on the little oral head but
her own features showed no emotion,
no regret.
A sear and a half had passed
since the June sunbeams that fell
on land and sea seemed to linger on
a pretty cottage standing in the
midst of a sunlit garden, a beautiful
silence seemed to hover over it. On
this June morning the front window
is open and one could see at the
window a face of wonderous, love
liness, dark eyes, full of pride and
passion, perfect lips, a crown of
shinning hair.
There is unutterable longing in
the dark eves for Ruth Duval could
reconcile herself to her fate. On
this morning she at the window
a few moments, then she decided to'
go for a walk in Wavel and woods.
Iwhich is noted for its beauty. There
fore it was no surprise to Ruth when
she came to the part called "Shades
of Death" to see a young man
sketching with pencil, papers, and
colors around him in pretty con
fusion "An Artist" Ruth exclaimed
and an expression of intense delight
flashed in her lovely face, as she
drew niear she looked at the stranger
curiously. H, had not heard her
approach and as he raised his eyes
to look at the trees he saw a face of
unusual beauty and he started un
voluntary in his surprise he then
arose, the papers fell from his grasp
the pencil rolled to Ruth's feet, "I
am afraid I have disturbed you" she
said. "I did not see you or I would
not have come so near." He looked
at her dazzled. He could find no
words, all power of speech seemed
to have left him. "I hope I have
not spoiled the picture "Ruth con
tinued with a smile. He loaked at
the picture which was half done
then handed it to her with a smile
and bow. Ruth took it with an
easy grace. "Flowers and trees I
suppose it is the same thing the
world over." She then handed the
picture back thanking him for the
pleasure it had given her. She
turned listlessly and walked away.
A feverish unrest took possession of
him.
What has happened to me, he
thought. A few moments ago I was
sitting Quietly here knowing no
greater pleasure than my art. Who
is this girl, I must see more of her
so he gathered his papers and went
back to the village where he asked
many questions and finally found
out that the pretty little home he
had admired was called "Waveland
Cottage" and that a maiden lady
Miss Barnes lived there with her
niece Ruth Duval The following
day Ross Wilton Dyer nephew of
Mr. Hugh Dyer of New York and'
only heir to the latters millions
went to the home of Miss Barnes. He
found the lady sitting alone on the
porch and in a courteous manner
he approached her, in a few words
he told her he was an artist and
admired her pretty home, and that
he had come to ask permission to
sketch it. There was something in
his tone that stirred the depths of
the lady's heart. She looked at him
long and steadily then assured him
of her consent.
All the village looked upon Miss
Barnes as something wonderful. She
made a livelihood for her self and
niece by sewing and making lace.
She had been left an orphan with
a younger sister to care for. When
very young the sister married a
carpenter, before the first year of
their married life had passed the
husband fell from a building and
was killed, then when the baby Ruth
was born the young mother too
passed away. At her loss Miss
Barnes sorrow was so great that it
wrung her heart and the only hope
left was the little one whom she had
tried so hard to teach her to love
God and had brought Ruth up in
her simple pious way. On this day
she found herself talking to the
strange young man as though she
had known him for years. Ross told
her that he was alone in the world
with exception of an uncle who was
very devoted to him and that drew
the warm heart of Miss Barnes to
him. Then with many thanks for
permission to sketch he left her.
When Ruth returned from her
morning walk she found her Aunt
sitting on the porch with a smile on
on her face. as though her mind
were full of pleasant thoughts. Miss
Barnes told Ruth of the young man's
visit and the promise she had given.
It was Ruth who then looked de
lighted. The afternoon that follow
ed Ross came prepared for sketch
ing. Miss Barnes had gone to spend
the afternoon and evening with a
sick friend and Ross found Ruth
alone, The two lingered on the
la~ n before the cottage until dusk.
Ross knew he should have gone
long before, vet he could no leave.
Ihen they decided that Ruth should
walk towards the village with him
in ttl~e hope of meeting her aunt.
Then followed one half hour in the
gloaLming that neither ever forgot.
Happy davs follow and Ross has
lingered at Waveland one month
and the picture of the cottage is
nothing like completed. No day has
passed without bringing Ross, Ruth
and her aunt more friendly and they
have ceased to look upon him as a
stranger.
On a beautiful evening in July as
Ross was walking through Wavejand
woods to the cottage he met the
girl whose image filled his heart.
Ruth stood confused before himr and
then Ross decided to know his fate.
Ruth, he said taking her hand, "I
love you only heaven know's how I
love you." "Speak to me my darling
only one word, will you be my wife?"
I will she answered and the words

fell like a sot on the summer air and
Ruth bent her beautiful head and
orayed that he would always love
her so.
Miss Barnes was not surprised
when she saw the lovers coming
slowly to the house. But as they
drew nearer there was something in
both faces that startled her: His
face proud and happy in Ruth's a
shy beautiful tenderness "Auntie,
he said," wish me joy I'm the hap
piest man in all the world, Ruth has
promised to be my wife. Will you
trust her to me "he continued. I
give her to you willingly was the
reply. Late into the night they sat
and talked of the future that seem
ed so bright and no thought came
to Ross that he was doing wrong in
not telling them his name was Ross
Wilton Dyer and he was heir to
millions. No he said to him self I
will let my darling think me a poorj
artist. I will take her home, but a
cloud crossed his brow as he thought
of what his haughty uncle would
think of this beautiful village girl,
however, Ross was to young for
very deep thoughts and in two more
