through most triumphant day and
was weary. She tossed her hat to a
bed, her gloves and fan to chair, and
she herself dropped into the great
willow rocker-a mass OF fluffy white
draperies, her deerllke head, with Its
crown of red brown hair, lifted above

followed her for days and days, and
she had made him sue for kind word
from her-her, the scOrned and de-

his face and had baited and lured him
until he had thrown to the winds his
decent life and all the long years of mp
rightncss and the position among men
for which he had struggled, ana was
