YOEL had fallen into habit of

~ mother had brought the orphaned
baby home TO live at Burton House.
Diana had never been an object OF
needed careful management in order
TO make it suffice for all needs.
When Diana was a young schoolgirl
IL had been an easy matter to contrib.
ute an occasional frock or ribbon to
her modest wardrobe. but as she grew
older her dark eyes were quick to dis
cover and quick to resent these kindly
deccptions. She had early evinced n
decided talent for the art which had
been her fathers profession. and her
dreams Of Il future career were as
rose cOOrcd aS his had been when that
promising career had ended SO briefly
at its very beginning.

Diana made remarkable progress in
her art studies. and when school days

up to the attic room and sat long be-

Diana passed out of his life forever
he would come no more To dream

put veil before his memory of her
So as the moon sailed high In the
