Johns little visits did me . world Of o.
good. II was delightful relapse into o.
rheertalness during those spring weeks; IL
thought they were going on forever: or
at least until grew 10 be . marvel OF
serenity and saintliness; but they didn't. :
for in The last Of May John went TO New =
York. and I thought l sho1ld-never
mind only that did seem to me pretty /
hard to bear. lie had never really come
to the stage Of loverhood. and never put ,
on sny cir OF being sighted or jealous
in the days Of Arthur Lawrie, and
liked him all the better for Il. But now,
you see, II Was carrying the matter too
lar. felt sure he cared nothing for me
after all in any but the most utterly
commonplace way, and though knew
ii was thoroughly just. It cut me to the
heart. for I had come to care Q great
deal for him. I thought should die,
the day he went away.
To make long story short, then,I fell
back into the Slough OF DespOnd.
We got through the winter somehow
the machine. works were opened once
more-oh, and John used TO write t.
me; not love.letters (I'll show .you

. on me when he came home in summer
vscation-it seemed to me never could
bear that.

it was partly on that account that father

I But somehow everything went against
pr Il; his model wouldn't work
!, ,vhou he ont Il done. and il didn't seem
10 likely that I'd see the owner Of that long
rs name for good while yet. But one day
in the last OF February there came th''
ed letter from the doctor himself, sayint
TO that he had been requested from Boston
a to come on to see the young lady and 81

elf point such day? And he came. IL
