"In such circumstances delivery became the horror they made of It, although several of the doctors told me privately not to have the slight eat alarm; It was simply the method of rich Belfish women to make such a bugbear of childbirth s wife might well be excused for refusing to en dute it. Sifted to the bottom that tvas exactly wliat it was. 1 didn’t know until tile birth of .lames that they had neglected to follow the In structions of their doctors and made no preparation for nursing the child; as a, result, when T insisted that it must be done, shrieks of pain, pain ful enough as I could see, resulted in a nervous chill for the mother, more inhumanity in me, and the boy was turned over to a hired woman with his first breath and to begin unnatural life. I watched the little chap all I could, he was strong and healthy, and while skilled nurses were available he upset every rule by thriving; which was one more count, against me, and the lesson pointed out and driven home that no young wife could give a child such attention, so the baby was better off in the hands of the nurse. That he was reared without love, that his mother took not an iota of responsibility in his care, developed not a trait of motherhood, simply went on being a society belle, had nothing to do with it. "He did so well, Nellie escaped so AT THE JHEATERS ______________ □ TRECT from conquests on Broadway.

Then came the tragedy of Elizabeth. Surely you understand ‘just how' it was done, Margaret?” "Of course, I had an idea, luit 1 never before got just the perfect pic ture, and now l have It, though it s the last word I want to say to you, God made me so that I'm forced io say it, although it furnishes one pi ore example of what is called inconsis tency.” “He careful what you say, Mar garet:” "T must say It.-’ she replied. 'T've encouraged you to taik ill detail, be cause l wanted to be sure I was right in the position I was taking; hut you've given me a different view point. Why, James, think it over yourself in the light of what you just have told me. Nellie never has been a mother at all! Her heart Is more barren than that of a woman to whom motherhood Is physical inipos sibility, yet whose heart aches with maternal instinct!” "Margaret!" cried .Tames Mlnturn. "James, it's true!" she persisted. "I never have understood. For fenr of that, I led you on and now look what you've told me. Nellie nevpr had a chance, at natural motherhood. The thing called society made a fool ish mother to begin with, while she in turn ruined Iger daughter, and if Eliza beth had lived it would have been passed on to her. You throw a new light on Nellie. As long as she was herself, she was tender and loving, and you adored her: if you had been alone and moderately circumstanced, she would have continued being so lovable that after 10 years your face flushes with painful memory as you speak of it. I've always thought her abandoned as to wifely and motherly instinct. What you say proves she was a lovable girl, ruined by society, through the medium of her mother and friends." "if she cared for me as she said, she should have beep enough of a womanV" began Mr. Mlnturn. “Maybe she should, but you must take into consideration that she was not herself when the trouble began: she was. as are all women, evpn those most delighted over the prospect, in an unnatural condition, in so far that usual conditions were unusual, and prohahly made her ill, nervous, appre hensive, not herself at ail.” "Do you mean to say that you arc changing?" “Worse than that!" she said em phatically. "I have positively and per inanenlly changed. Even at your e* pense l will do Nellie justice. James, yi»ur grievance is not against your wife; it is against the mother who hose her, the society that molded her.” “She should have been woman enough—” he *>ogan. "Left alone, she was!” insisted Mrs. Wjnslow. "With the ills and appre hensions of motherhood upon her, she yielded as most young, inexperi enced women would yield to what came under the guise of tender solici tude, and no doubt eased or banished pain, which aJl of us avoid when possible; and the pain connected with motherhood is a thing in awe of which the most practiced physicians admit themselves almost stunned. The woman who would put aside pam pering and stoically endure * what money and friends could alleviate is rare. Jim, pain or no pain to you, you must find your wife and learn for yourself if she is heartless;, or whether in some miraculous way some one has proved to her what you have made plain as possible to me. You must hunt her up, and if she is still under her mother’s and society's influence, and Refuses to change, let her remain. But—but if she has changed, as you have just seen me changf. then you should give her an other chance if she asks it.'* "1 can t! he cried. s "You must! The evidence is 1n her favor.” "What do you mean?” he demanded Impatiently. ' "Her acquiescence in your right to take the boys and alter their method of life; her agreement that for their sakes you might do as you chose with no interference from her; both those are the acknowledgement of failure on her part and willingness for you to repair the damages if you can.” she exiitained. "Her gift of a residence, the furnishings of which would have paid for the slight alterations neces sary to transform a modern home into the most beautiful of modern hospitals, in a wonderfully lovely lo cation, and leave enough to start it with as fine a staff as money can provide—that gift is a deliberately planned effort at reparation; the lim iting of patients to children under 10 Is her heart trying to tell yours she would atone." "O Hold!" cried denies Minturn "Yes, 1 know," said Mrs. Winslow. “Call on Him! You need Him! There is no question but that He put into her head the idea of setting a home for the healing of little children. In the most exclusive residence district of Multiopolis, where women of mil lions are forced to see It every time they look lrom a window or step from their door? Have you seen it your self, James?" . "Naturally I wouldn’t haunt fhe location." "I would, and I did!" said Mrs. Winslow. "A few days ago I went over it from basement to garret. You go-and see it. And I recall now’ that her lawyer was there, with sheets of paper In his hand, talking with work men. 1 think lie's working for Nel lie and that she in probably direct ing the changes and personally evolv ing a big. white, shining reparation.” "It's a late date to talk about rep aration,” he said. "Which simply drives ms to the, truism, 'better late than never!' and to the addition of the comment that Nellie is only 20 aral that but 10 years of your lives liege been wasted; if you hurry and save the remainder, you should have nt) apiece coming to yon, if you breathe <1 cp, sleep cool, and dine sensibly,” s lid Mrs. Win slow. She wnlked out of the room and closed t he door. James Minturn sat thinking a long time, then called his car anil drove to Atwater alone. He found I,eslle in the orchard, a book of bird scores in her hands, and sev eral sheets of music beside her. Her greeting was so cordial, so frankly sweet and womanly, he could scarce ly endure it, because his head was tilled with thoughts of his wife. "You are still at your bird study?” he asked. "Yes. lt« the most fascinating thing,” she said. "J know,” he conceded. ' I want the titles of the books you're using. ] men tioned it to Mr. Tower, our tutor, and he was interested instantly, and far more capable of going at It intelligent ly than I am, because he has some musical training. Ever since we talk ed it,over he and the boys have been at wiork in a crude way; you might be amused at their results; to me they are wonderful.

James will never do any thing worth while in music, lie's too much like me; but Malcolm is saving his money and working to buy a violin: he’a going to read a music score faster than he will a book. I’m hunt ing an instructor for him who will start his education on the subjects which interest him most. Do you know any one Leslie?” "No one who could do more than study "with him. It's a branch that Is just being taken up. but 1 have talked of It quite a bit with Mr. Dovesky, the harmony director of the conservatory.

"He has his mother's fine car and artistic perception.

"A note site wrote me before leav ing," explained Leslie. "You see I'd been with her ,^11 day and we had raced home so joyously; and when things came out as they did, she knew T wouldn't understand.” "Might I see it?” he asked. "Surely," said Leslie "1 spoke of that the other day. I'll bring it." When Leslie returned James Min ium read the missive several times; then he handed it back, saying: “What is there in that Leslie, to prove your points?"
