and throw Il over my feet"
Helen got the overcoat. although the
ted was already 80 burdened with
covers that she could hardly bear
their weight With the IRE. and the
window only half open. she was al
most surocated-

ular gale with no covert
Helen knew he had caught the cold
By going out the day before in a driz-
zling rain without his raincoat. but she
refratned from saying 50.
The IRE was now burning well. its
glow reflected here and there in the
POLISHED wood OF the heavy English
furniture. Helen lay watching IL until
her thoughts drffted hazily into sleep.
When she awoke. her first impress
ION was that IL was barely dawn Then
her glance fell on Warren's watch by
the bed-it was after s.
Il was a gray. foggy morning. pene-
tratingly chill Softly she slipped out
OF bed. put down the window and
turned 20 the FIRE.
Very carefully. for fear OF awaken
ing Warren. she poked down the ashes
and put on fresh coal II he would
only sleep until she could dress and
the room was warmer.
Shiveringly she took a cold sponge

II was still so dark that she turned
on the lights 10 do her hair. The fog
had thickened to a rain Below the

desolate desertion OF a rainy Sunday
morning
Her fingers. numb with cold. let fall
Der hairbrush. Warren. aroused BY
the noise. stirred uneasily. She stood
nlotionless. hoping be would doze on
again. but he threw out his arms with
a yawn-

method OF waking himself up
"A little after s. but Id stay in bed
