THE first age, from seventeen to
thirty, is the daring and desperate

this is the worst age. cruel. wicked
and supremely foolish age.
THE second age, from thirty to for.

Burglaries that are safe and easy, for

demanding neither violence nor pluck
that Is the second age.
"The third age. from forty-hve to

With unsteady fingers she un-
wrapped the oiled-silk, broke the let
ter's seal, and read:
Dearest:
Before you read this, you will no
doubt have heard the thing that has
happened this sunshiny morning. Sas-
soon-poor Sassoon! l can say that
with all my hearts, dead. What this
fact will mean to you, God help me!
/ cannot guess. For l have never
been certain, Judith, of your heart.
Sometimes l have thought you loved
meme only-as l love you. Last
night when | saw you wearing my
cape jessamines at the ball, / was
almost sure of it. But when you made
me promise, whatever happened, not
to lift my hand against him, then
doubted. Was it because you feared
for him? Would to God at this moment
knew this was not true! For what
ever the fact, 1 must love you, dar-
ling, you and no other, as long as
Iive!"
When she had read thus far, she
closed the letter and pressing a hand
against her heart as il to still its
throbbing, locked the written pages
in a drawer of her bureau. She went
downstairs and made Ranston bring
her chair to its accustomed place I'M
der the rose-arbor, and sat there
through the falling twilight.
She and Shirley talked but little at
dinner, and what she said seemed to
come winging from old memories--her
own girlhood, its routes and picnics
and harum-scarum pleasures. And
there we're long gaps in which she
sat silent, playing with her napkin,
the light color coming and going in
her delicate cheek, lost in revery. 1t
was not till the hall-clock struck her
usual hour that she rose to go to her
room.
Don't send Emmaline," she said.
Il shan't want her" She kissed Shir-
ley good night. Maybe after a while
you will sing for me; you haven't
played yotr harp for ever so long"
In the subdued candle-light Mrs.
cambridge locked the door of her
room. She opened closet, and from
the very bottom of small haircloth
trunk, lifted and shook out from its
many tissue wrappings faded gown
of rose-colored silk, with pointed bod
fee and old-fashioned puff-sleeves She
spread this on the bed and laid with Il
a pair of yellowed satin slippers aud
little straw basket that held spray
of what had once been cape jessa-
mine.
In the pickering light she undressed
and rearranged her hair. catching It's
s!lvery curling meshes in a low soft
coil. Looking almost furtively about
her. she put on the rose-colored gown,
and pinned the withered fower-spray
on its breast. She lighted more
candles-in the wall-brackets and on
lamp on the desk. Standing before
her mirror then. she gszed long at the
refiection-the poor faded rose-tint
against the pale ivory of her slender
neck, and the white hair. A little
CULVER ran over her lips.
Whatever the fact she whispered,
:. you and no other as long
As l live"
She unlocked the bureau-drawef

herself by the table, read the remain
