Tears rise in her eyes. She gives him
her hand silently. Raising his hat. he
stoops and presses his lips to it. Their
eyes meet. She is seeing him through a
misty veil-he is seeing her as he has
never seen woman before Oh the dear,
sad, sweet little face
He would have held her. but she shakes
her head. and without word goes swift

wards her home, that bleak, melancholy
old house on the top of the hill. And
without so much as one backward glance,
she disappears from his view

were running so fast down her cheeks
that she dare not turn, that she does not
dare even to raise her handkerchief to
stay them, lest he read the action rightly
and cone back to her.
