what was best left unsaid
Curtis Deane led her to divan in remote
corner of the room. you are not happy, he
began and he expected protest. "Tell me, is

penniless. He had known it all along. Indeed 1t
was his money that had sent me to Europe, had
clothed us and fed us for almost three years.

will let me know. And tell me, darling, that you
trust me- [ will you in the morning" and he
arose and led her from the room.
All that night Helen Payne struggled with her
soul The dawn came and the battle was still on
Her husband had not returned. A wild hope that
he had deserted her, that he had met with some
fatal accident, that merciful Providence had torn
him from her, overwhelmed her. lettering on the
brink of her conviction, she dared not meet the
man whose love had grown suddenly so wondrous
sweet to her. Late that afternoon a letter came
from her husband. 1t informed her. in the briefest
manner that he had been called away suddenly on
important business and that she was to join him
the following Friday in New York. Beneath his
signature there written in bold hand the
words,-''We enjoying ourselves and if you are
wise you will do the same. There enough nice
men in the world who would gladly heal your
wounded heart Sympathetcally F. H."
Helen read the words again and again. Then
she sprang to her feet with the alacrity of her
happy girlhood and dressed for dinner. AS he
entered the diningroom, Curtis Deane Joined her.
He looked haggard and worn.
