There was another interval of 81

deer heads on her bronze inkstand.
He started to the door, hesitated,
looked back, then boldly turned and
went out. AS he descended in the ele-
vator the troubled face was before
him, and he wondered why his action
had seemed to reprehensible. He had
tried to state the case as gently as
possible, and yet from some quarter
an insistent little voice was telling
him he had made an awful botch of it.
He left the elevator and walked to the
exit. Then 1t occurred to him that
he had always intended, when she
left, that he would give her certain
painting she had admired, and which
was hanging in her Office. She might
be gone when he returned, so it was
best to do it now.
