more on her side"
Yet not in the comments was the real
sting, but the fact that he had exposed
her to them-and that he was not with
her. She ran back after she had goI {
down the steps to give fierce little col
trite embrace to the loving, helpless

isn't worth it.
1t was slight thing in its wav, thi;
detection of Harland's, but it seemed
to prefgure an endless difference between
them-eyen those moments in which she
did Justice to lis reason opened the vista
down into well of bitter waters. There
| was a world in which she had no rights.
Her passionate young soul was racked in
a way that seemed unbearable, torture
whose steel fangs pierced inward the
more fercely the harder she tried to push
it from her. III this comfortable, placid,
commonplace home atmosphere, love had
crippled hold Of Anna as i'll the days OF
the Greeks, with the old, unmodern,
overmastering power that shook her into
exuuisitely strange exultations and abys-
NAL depths.
As she had lain on the bed in the
darkness, sulIen to her mothers pleading,
jealousy OF all Of her lovers life that was
not hers was looming into her, and the
thirst to hear his voice when she needed
it to still this unreasoning tumult, and
the lack Of any comfort from him until
hours, and hours, and hours had passed,
and los letter came. She imaged to her
self his words Of passionate regret that
he had had to fail her, and his longing
for her-poor, little, shadowy, sweet
Anna, who had been but child SO
lately that she did not as yet know how
to bear this new pain Of being woman
who must dance with it consuming
her. and lie down on her bed once more,
after the long, glittering waste hours Of
the ball, and rise up again i'll the morn
ing, sstill companied with it against her
sick will.
Jack Van Dorn-shining antithesis to
Harland -chiyalrously willing to ruin
his prospects for any girl, went back to
his studious lair early, though Anna
heard him. She was listening tor the
postman's whistle. There was no letter
i'll any Of the morning mails, though
Mrs. Lane lay in wait for the postman
herself, and announced loudly from afar
the naturue Of the epistles delivered, in
tones Of eager cheerfulness, to forestall
disappointed expectation, while Anna
and Ethel talked over all the miEuta
Of the dance. But at last the letter from
Harland came Mrs. Lane, breathless
and flushed with haste, handed one out
OF the sheaf to Anna, who disappeared
with her treasure into the next room.

opening words
"My darling, my darling, I'm so sorry
