In the alcOye the girl waited, torn
in the throes of incipient hysteria; at
first too weak from reaction and re-
vulsion of feeling to do anything other
than lean heavily against the wall and

but mistress of her thoughts and ac-

into a chair, bending an ear attentive
to the war Of words being waged in
the room beyond the portieres.
At first, however, she failed to grasp
the import of the alteration. And
when in time she understood its trend.

shut the door and-and then she would
come forth and tell him, tell him
everything, and, Withholding naught
that damned her in her own esteem,
throw herself upon his mercy, bruised
with penitence but serene in the as
surance that he would prove kind.
She had such faith in his tender
and gentle kindness now. She
had OWNED so clearly the motive that
