 Mary strengthened up at that.
 "Oh, when I get into it," she said trying to speak lightly, ''it's not so bad but I have felt the strain this winter awfully."
 Between rushes that night Roger caught Felicia for moment alone in the library. Mary Is dreadfully blue. T he told her. "She broke her engage ment with Bob Carruth in the sum- mer, and she hasn't seen him since, and she misses him."
 What did she break it for| Felicia asked.
 "He wanted her to go south with him and settle in little town where he could practice medicine, and she wouldn't give up society, and now think she regrets it."
 "Oh," said little Felicia, If loved a man I would go to the end of the world with himw
 Would you?" Roger asked.
 "yes"
 Well, I am leaving for Japan next week." ingratiatingly. ] Felicia gazed at him with intense in- dignation for moment; then she turn ed her back on him. ''Sillyw she said. When Felicia went to bed that night she was SO tired that she could not sleep. The next morning she was as l pale as Mary. For week the two i girls dragged their engagements, fin ishing up on Saturday night with an- other cotillon. Felicia wore her white dress. It was mussed. and she knew that she was not looking her best, but she was had sent her bunch of violets, and her dance card was filled with names, but the fact gave her no satisfaction.
 The fourth dance was Rogers.

 "Oh, l am so tired shall drop" she said. Cant go home, RogerT'
 She looked so like little weary child that Roger laughed.

 In the carriage Mary collapsed. 'T didn't dream I was so tired" sine sob bed, with her head on Felicia's shoul- der, and Roger. surveying the pair with twinkling eyes, said, Let me pre- scribe
 "Well;' came back in muffied agree mcnt

 "Yes. had letter from him yes terday. He's coming up for visit
 Faint pink tinged Mary's cheeks.
 Do you think he will want to see me. RogerY she asked wistfully, and Roger said gently, "I know he will. Mary"
 So Felicia packed her little trunk. and Mary packed a larger one, and away they went 10 the country. where the trees were crimson and gold and brown and where the air was like wine. And there Bob Carruth and Roger followed them.
 ''So she is really going to marry him and live in country town" Roger commented, and he and Felicia fol lowed Mary and her lover along path that seemed to end in golden sunset.
 Yes" Felicia said
 And you are going to marry me and come and live in the city" Roger ven tured
 "I haven't promised yet" said little Felicia. T am afraid that some day should be saying, Give me again my hollow tree, my crust of bread and Hb- erty'"
