Lily Pryce took down her hair and
smiled at her reflection In the mirror

Ferris was evidently In love with her,
and, while she could not honorably
have encouraged him, she could not
avoid a certain feeling Of citation.

clerk. had sent her to this expensive
mountain hotel in order to accelerate
: her recovery from an illness brought

Ace. Lily was engaged to John Shaw,
the curate in her home town. She
had thought she loved John-she loved
him still; but certainly he had no
style like Ferris and the other men
who spent their week-ends at Lake
view Lodge. 81
She had spent the whole evening
with Ferris. and had half promised TO
4 60 driving with him on the morrow.
She was resolved to 60, but she also
determined to yield only after appar.
ent reluctance. That would salye her
conscience 20 far as John was con-
5cerned. 81 u "a. ia
She went to bed happy. and arose
next morning with the same sense Of
citation. It was said that Ferris was
rich. She would not be untrue to
