Without another word Emily turned
away That night she went back to
John and Amelia. They, on their part
welcomed her back gladly, believing
her to be a wronged and ill-used wom-
an. They hated Stephen Fair with a
new and personal rancor. The one
thing they could have hardly forgiven
Emily would have been the fact Of her
relenting toward him.
But she did not relent. In her soul
she knew that, with all her just griev.
ances, she had been in the wrong, and
for that she could not forgive him.
Two years after she had left

that she could not have felt more I'M

and watched for John Phillips home
coming.
At 10 o'clock she heard his voice in
tee kitchen. She leaned out of the
bed and pulled open the door. She
heard voices below, but could not dis
tinguish the words, so she rose and
went noiselessly out into the hall,
knelt down by the stair railing and
listened, The door of the kitchen was
open below her and a narrow shaft of
light struck on her white, intent face.
She looked like a woman waiting for
the decree of doom.
AT first John and Amelia talked of
trivial matters. Then the latter said
abruptly, Did you ever hear how
Stephen Fair was?"
