piifully, softly almost tragically. She
reached for gold key and opened her
desk. Her hands moved mechanically
among papers and sketches till she
drew forth a small book with white
satin corner on which was traced
gilt composition. She opened the
leaves. There was nothing within the
book but names and dates. Slowly she
counted them. Then she dipped her
pen in violet ink and wrote below the
last name number. the date, and the
Mans name. There was no smile ON
her face now. she turned back the
leaves Of the satin-covered book to the

tear her heart, her golden head fell on
her arms, stretched across the desk.
