The DAY was gray one. the first OF
the kind in weeks. AS Doris stepped into
the room where Oswald sat. she felt how
much a ray of sunshine would have en-
couraged her and yet how truly these
leaden skies and this dismal atmosphere
expressed the gloom which soon must
fall upon this hopeful. smiling man.
He smiled because any man must smile
at the entrance of so lovely woman,
but it was an distracted smile. and Doris,
seeing it, felt her courage falter for a
moment, though her steps did not, nor her
steady. compassionate gaze. Advancing
slowly. and not answering because she
did not hear some casual remark of his.
she took her stand by his side and then
slowly and with her eyes on his face,
sank down upon her knees, still without
speaking almost without breathing.
his astonishment was evident, for her
air was strange and full of presa ge-as.
indeed, she had meant it to be. But he
remained as silent as she. only reached
out his emaciated hand and. laying it on
her head, smiled again. but this time far
from abstractedly. Then, as he saw her
cheeks pale in terror IF the task before
her. he ventured to ask gently;
