One night just one of the first cold
nights of November, Lucinda watched
Patience dash down the back doorstep
and run into the garden. The girl had
twisted a red shawl round her head and
shoulders, and in the cold gray of twi-
light her face looked CHASTITY. Her eyes
were red and her lips quiyering; she
clutched letter in her hand. There was
something tragic in the poor, pretty little
face. and old Lucinda felt her own heart
beating furiously and wildly. She felt.
she knew, that things were going utterly
wrong, and that love was proving
traitor. She watched the young girl pace
up and down the garden like some wild
thing Gagged and her heart ached for
her. Darkness at last hid Patience from
her. but darkness brought little sleep
that night TO Lucinda.
