And what is that?"
you don't know what the suffering
is. you don't understand, you don't

And why not?"
Because you do not love me-.
'But l do" said the woman quite
simply as if it were matter OF
course not only that she should love
him. but that she should also tell him
so.
The man stared at her amazed.
Such fierce surges of Joy throbbed
through him as he had not thought
the human frame could sustain. This
woman loved him, in some strange
way he had gained her affection. 1t

He had been a blind fool He could
see that now. She stood before him
and smiled up at him, looking at him
through eyes misted with tears, with
lips parted, with color coming and go
ing in her cheek and with her bosom
rising and falling. She loved him, he
had but 70 step nearer to her to take
her in his arms. There was a trust,
devotion, surrender, everything, in her
attitude. and between them like that

She closed the locket, laid it on the
table and pushed it away from her.
So this was the man the woman had
loved, who had begged her to go
away with him, this handsome Arm
strong who had come within an ace
of winning her own affection, to
whom she was in some measure
pledged!
How strangely does fate work out
it's purposes Enid had come from
the Atlantic seaboard to be the sec
ond woman that both these two men
loved!
If she ever saw Mr.. James Arm

that she would, she would have some

all the solutions, and each thread
