No one in the room had ever seen
kind hearted Jim Henderson in
rage before.
"Since you wanted to dispose of

sternly.

He left the room without answer

Mary Wheeler that her escort was
waiting, He knew her as ssoon as
he saw her on the stailt. The
wrath faded from his face, and
wonder at the gracious order of the

was smiling when she rais4l her

walked before him that rainy blight.
She was in white, and the heavy
hair shaded a face that he LOVED at
once. 1t was Just the sort of face
he had dreamed of as smiling put a
welcome to him when he came home

Then he told her something of his
dreams, of the new house waiting
for a mistress, how he had walked
behind her and listened to her voice
that rainy night, how he had been
looking for her ever since. The
small rough hand on his arm
trembled more and more. Then in
the shadow of a building in a lonely
spot he stopped and kissed her and
told her of his hope.
When they got to the door of the
hall she pulled him back a moment.
