iaras purp0sely restrained himself from
saying all he felt, for fear that praise might
do more harm than good ut this time. and
felt little disappointment when he said
very quietly that my dress was ladylike and
graceful.
We walked over Westminster bridge and
along the embankment to the temple and
then back. Ny walking boots were tight
and pinched my feet cruelty, but had the
pain been 10 times sharper could have
borne it cheerfully and without murmur.
Indeed almost exulted in this suffering
and in the effort to conceal the slightest
trace Of it from Taras, with the feeling in a
minor degree of a martyr enduring torture
for a great cause. The gain to me was moth
ing less than tremendous. But Yesterday
girls stopped to laugh In my face and jeer
at my grotesque distress; now they glanced

had fought beside him on the barricades
where he was killed; how she herself mar
rowly escaped being shot with other COM
munists only to be transported to an island
thousands Of miles from her country and
friends, and how, on her return to Paris.
she found her children dead and not friend

then that the old woman owed more to his
humanity than to time.
A gentleman stood with his hand on the
knocker as we reached our door.

Taras, opening the door with his KEY, and

troduced us in the simplest manner.
