the package on the girls knees, and
drew her eyes to it.
Suddenly she stiffened and pulled
away her hands. A little gasp broke
sharply from her lips. Huntington
reached toward her, then checked him

remained awkwardly bent forward, his
mouth set, trying desperately hard to
speak He wanted to help her. He
wanted to thrust himself between her
and this danger from which she had
shrunk. But he knew that he was too
late, and he did not know what to say.
Edith" he whispered, and that was all.
Ideas whirled through his brain-at
first detached. almost without relevance
to himself. Somehow, she was apart
from him-her life without relation to
his own. And it was only of the effect
upon her of what he had told, of what
she might yet decide to see for herself,
of her happiness, that he thought. Even
then it was not as if she was Edith, the
woman he loved, that he thought of her;
but rather as if she was the girl Of a
story, which was only story though its
ending meant great deal to her. But
gradually this sense of detachment left
him. As though coming out of a dream,
his ideas began to group themselves
about realities. He awoke to himself

Into their dead ashes she would plunge

For a minute afterward the girl was
motionless and did not speak. Then she
turned her faceuponh him. Inner clear gaze
was no question, no doubt, only peace and
understanding. Her hands sought the
package and lifted it. Bending forward,
she laid it upon the smoldering logs.
The paper smoked and glowed, the
string binding it burned through. Then
the wrapping blazed and fell apart, and
upon the hearth dropped a little reliquary
of wrought silver, within its frame the
head of Saint Agnes painted on ivory
the frame was a card which bore only
the name of the other woman.

not?
No. writes to whom l put this ques-

have present in minds purely ideal type of man
hood. Indeed do not envy your at all, but
merely the larger liberties and greater strength that
accompany your sex, which, if we had would

ends We wish to be men, only to be more abun-
