where ne could have his own posses

Il didn't make much difference 20 him
whether she was or not He knew he

strength OF a strong man whom the
world could never defeat He had
told her so. and she had come TO aim.
He shut his eyes tightly 70 the fact
that she had talked and written more
about coming TO New York than about
coming TO him. She owned a voice OF

through its medium. II had been fame
alone for which she had 7assionately
yearned-ln the poor home where she
had drudged her younger years away,

Richard was solemn. He looked at

ceremony in the dimly lighted church
through which he had just gone was
strong upon him. He had hopes that
