THE SECOND CONSIGNMENT.
WHO has lost all hope has also lost all
fear"
Among others. It was a. strange thing
that Joceyn felt no surprise at meeting
the name OF Millicent Chyne on the lips
OF another man. Women understand
these things better than we do They
understand each other, and they seem
to have practical way OF accepting HUI
man nature as it Is which we never learn
to apply to our fellow-me They never
bluster as we do nor expect impossibill-
ties from the frai,
Another somewhat singular residue left
as 1t were, In Jocelyn's mind when the
storm OF emotion had subsidized was
certain indefinite tenderness for Mill
Meredith's feeling for her was that feel

and as such unaltterable / To this
knowledge the subtle sympathy for
Milllcent was perhaps attributable.

pardonable adherence for the deceit
practiced. But Jocelyn knew the world
well enough to suspect that. II she were
ever brought face to face with her
meanness. Millcent would ba able 10
bring about her own forgiveness. IT Is
the knowledge OF this lamentable fact
that undermines the feminine sense OF
honor.
Lastly, there was a calm acceptance OF
the fact that Guy Discard must and would
inevitably 30 to the wall, There could
be no comparison between the twI men,
Milllcent Chyne could scarcely hesitate
for moment. That she herself must
likewise suffer uncomplainingly. ineylta-
bly,. seemed to be an equally natural con-
sequence In Jocelyn Gordons mind,
She could not 80 to Jack Meredith ana
