Don't ask me not to call you Beulah; that what tried to do was for you is the one streak of light in all this black hell. Beulah. Beulah, we are ruined. you, your father. and I, ruined, and I'm the fool who did it."
 She rose from her desk with all the quiet, calm dignity that we had been admiring for three months. and stood facing Bob. She did not seem to see me: she saw nothing but the man who had gone out that morning the person iflcation of hope, who now stood be- fore her the picture of black despair. and she must have thought, Tt was all for me- Suddenly she-took the lapels os his torn coat in either hand. She had to reach up to do it, this winsomo little Virginia lady With her big, calm blue eyes looking straight into his. she said:
 'Bob."
 That was all, but the word seemed to change the very atmosphere in the room. The look of desperation faded from Bob's face, and as though the words had sprung the hidden catch to the doors of the storehouse of pent-up misery. his eyes filled with hot, blind- ing tears. His great chest was con vulsed with sobs. Agaip-clear, calm, fearless, and tender, came the one syllable, Bob And at that Bobs self-control slipped the leash. With a hoarse cry, he threw his arms around her and crushed her to his breast. The sacredness of the scene made me feel like an intruder, and l started to leave the room. But in moment Beulah Sands was her usual self and, turning to me, she said: "Mr. Ran dolph, please forget what you have seen. For an instant, as saw Mr. Brownley's awful misery, thought of nothing but what he had done for me, what he had tried to do for my father, what a penalty he has paid. From what you said when you left and the fact that got no word from either of you, I feared the worst and did not dare look at the tape; simply waited and, hoped and-prayed. Yes, prayed as my mother taught me should pray
