that they were laughing and talking
merrily, apparently oblivious to sur
roundings, and that she took his arm
with a plainly affectionate gesture as
they went into the hotel together.
For some minutes afterward Winona
stood m~otionless, a pain at her heart
which she dared not define even to her.

light in the apartment directly oppo-

and she recognized him instantly az
Dicks father. He, too. laughed and
came up, saluting the girl fondly on
either cheek.
1t was the bride, she knew, for that
was the bridal suit. She had been
there herself once to call upon a girl
friend who had married and was In
Washington on her wedding journey.
With her face on fire Winona turned
away and went to her desk In a cor
ner of the room. She took up two
letters. The first read: y1
Dear Nona-May I come tomorrow even
ing for a few moments? I have some
thing important that I van to tell you.
Say. yes. will you not? Sincerely,
This, then, was what he had e
to tell her of-his marriage. Her brief
dream of happiness collapsed like a
house Of cards. She ,choked back a
sudden rise of inward bitterness and
unfolded the other letter. 1t ram:

s~eechingly CLAUDIA.
Without hesitation Winona sat down
and took up her pen, jabbing it vi
ciously into the ink.
My Dear R~ichard-Sorry, but 1t will not
be possible for me to receive you tomor-
row evening, as l am leaving town for
some time. Yours In haste,
WINONA PAULDING.
She sealed and directed this and
rang for her maid. Then she dashed n
hasty acceptance of Claudia Spence's
invitation and sat staring through the
window at the black of night.
When the maid came In she thrust
the two letters into her hand and or
dered her to take them directly to the
postoffice. She crossed the room to a
cheval glass. The face that looked
back at her was youthful and delicate
ly lovely.
She was blond and patrician, with
just enough pink in her cheeks to re-
deem her face from pallor. Her hair
was pale gold, but shining. That other
girl was pretty, too, but in a rich, dark
fashion that belonged to the south.
