them. There was something
mysterious about NJ Danforth.
People talked about .er, but no
body seemed to know just why
She had come to Springfield a
stranger and she had been care
full to leave her past behind her.
1t had not taken her long to find
friends, and she was quickly adj
mitted to the best social circles.
With plenty of money, she lived
at the most fashionable hotel, she
entertained lavishly, and her
clothes were the talk of the
town. Then, one day, she disap-
peared, and on the following
morning Tom Harlow had told
Helen that it had become neces-
sary for him to go to Chicago.
A week later he returned, but
substantial citizen of Spring
field had returned before him.
The substantial citizen had seen
Tom and Mrs. Danforth together
in Chicago. Of course Tom had
assured Helen that it was all
right, but he had not explained.
He had merely promised to do so
Gin good time" And Helen had
naturally decided that the good
time could never come. So
Tom went away.
She thought over all this as she
impatiently waited at Northport
Junction. A dozen times she tried
to fix her thoughts on other
things, but always they turned
back to the old subject. She be-
came angry with herself, at last,

Helen turned away with a feel
of hopelessness and went outside
again. If Northport had looked
dismal to her before, it now SEEM
ed desolate. While she was try
ing to count. the appalling num-
Der of minutes that she would
have to wait, she heard the whis-
tie of an engine away up the curve
around the hill on the main line.
When the long train stopped at
the Junction, Helen saw a man
step down from one of the Pull
man cars away at the rear. She
paid no attention to him, suppos-
ing he was a passenger who had
merely stepped off to geta breath
Of fresh air, but after the train
had gone on she noticed that the
man was walking slowly down
the cinder path beside the track
toward the station. For a mo-
ment she gazed at him., and then
hurried inside. 1t was Tom Har-
low, carrying suit case.
Selecting the darkest corner in
the station, Helen sat down, turn
ed her back toward the door, and
waited, hoping that no one would
come in and fearing something
that she could not have explained.
Her corner was so dark, and she
remained so silent that Tom en-
