In the hall she helped him on with
his overcoat and stood holding his hat.
What time will you be back this
evening"" she said.
His eyes dropped. She knew that
he was watching her through the cor
ners furtively. She wanted to throw
herself into his arms and snuggle her
head up against the new spring coat
collar and tell him all about it, but
that same old pride would not let her
do it. She smiled and smiled again,
even when she felt certain that he was

He took both her hands in his. The
hat dropped to the floor.

be Obliged to walk in the park"
Il don't mind walking" she said,
bravely, though the big ache was still
He kissed her again and went out of
the front door whistling She stood
for moment where he had left her.
Her eyes were dilated; soon the tears
came. She flung herself into the
depths of big chair and sobbed as if
her heart would break.
"Oh, how he lies to me-" she said,

lies, how he lies!"
Soon her mood changed. Her sor-

did he say when he was coming

From the reply it was evident that
the girl had not recognized her voice.
"It's hard to tell" was the re-
sponse. "He hasn't been in the Office
regularly of late"
Without asking more she hung up
the receiver. Through her clenched
white teeth she murnlured: "No mat

That was how she happened to be
standing on the corner of Congress
street and Wabash avenue with her
skirts blowing and her hat sitting un-
easily on her hair that was a little
disordered. Not thought of her ap-
pearance came into her head. Her
sorrow had grown deeper as the morn

came filled with a wild desperation.
Regardless of wondering passers-by,
she ran across the street to where a
cabman stood complacently.

car had passed Twelfth Street, Miss
Lloyd became alarmed at the noise
caused by the burning out Of the fuse;
thinking that the car was beyond the
motorman's control, she leaped out to
the right of the car, which was running
at considerable rate, and her head
struck the cobblcstones Of Broad Street.
