on the table. She sighed and let her

woman was leaning her head from the

He called out again: ''Christine!"
No reply. And he stopped In the
midst Of the silence.
With lack-luster eye. he stared
down that cold, desolate road and into
the pale. dead night. Nothing was
colder than his heart. nothing half so
dead; he had loved an angel and now
he despised a woman.

Coasting is already fine and in very

That is quite difficult matter here,
end since the town does not offer a
skating rink there seems to be no
other way than to provide one for
ourselves. There is sp e1did field
just back of the school building which
would be an ideal spot for one. Last

increased that there seems to be no
obstacle whatever.
