"Yes. Nita was your mother."

An uncontrollable impulse urged the girl. She had no power to resist it.
Why should she? This man--this man to whom Marcel had brought her, with
his steady eyes and strong face. He--he----

She sprang from her seat beside her lover, the great creature staring so
amazedly at the man, who, for a moment, had permitted a glance into
those close-hidden secrets of his heart. In a moment she was on her
knees at Steve's side, and the man's hands were grasping hers in their
strong embrace.

"And you--you are my--father!" she cried.

Steve crushed the hands in his with a power that told of the feeling
stirring.

"Yes," he said simply. Then he added very gently, very tenderly. "And
you--you are my little baby girl Coqueline."

And in the silence that followed there reached them from close behind
the sound of the low, soft voice of the mother woman.

"So. An-ina glad. Oh, yes."
