to Sister Catherine, my aunt, and told
her that I had finally determined to
come. She is expecting me shortly"
Then why do you do it, Cicely?
Can't you see that you are running both

The door slammed behind him. His
steps could be heard running down the
stairs. Then the hall door closed, and
the girl was alone in the house.
She sat quite still for moment, the
lights in the room seemed to blind her.
She arose, and turned them down.
Then she threw herself on the

Presently, when her sobs had calm

and crossing to the writing table, wrote
this letter:

me forever as you have done, with bit

might have forgotten me, and perhaps
found some one else more worthy to

not bear that you should always think
Ill of me, Will, for I love you from

rather as martyr who is going out of

say. If you think it would better
will lay bare my soul to you and tell
