No shadow had darkened their life until the wife had to sail abroad to attend to her dying mother and business prevented the husband from accompanying her, so he and the child remained in their American home. Some days later news was received that the liner had been burned at sea, and his wife was not one of the few survivors. It was a terrible blow to the husband, but worse followed. One morning he decided to go over her desk, which as she had frequently told him, laughingly, contained her only secrets. He had never presumed to disturb it before and tears came to his eyes when he found there old love letters he had written, and little tokens he had given her, but in a secret drawer he discovered a number of love letters which had not been written by him, and were only signed with the name "Henry," and addressed to "Sweetheart." At first the husband was wild with rage, but then he decided that for his little girl's sake that the secret must be kept. The problem became more serious, however, when, sometime later, the wife returned to her home with a few survivors. She had been picked up by a sailing vessel after several days of suffering torture in an open boat. The husband greeted her lovingly, because others were about, but privately determined to leave her forever. The pretext he used was that he was about to go on a long business journey, but unfortunately the wife saw the letter before he departed, and was able, in a novel way, to convince her husband of her innocence. Thus was the family reunited, for the woman freely forgave her husband, at first for the sake of their child, and later because she realized the trial he had undergone.
