throbbing, locked the written pages
in a drawer of her bureau. She went
downstairs and made Ranston bring
her chair to its accustomed place un-

through the falling twilight.
She and Shirley talked but little at
dinner, and what she said seemed to
come winging from old memories--her

In the Pickering light she undressed
and rearranged her hair, catching its
silvery curling meshes in low soft
coil. Looking almost furtively about
her, she put on the rose-colored gown
and pinned the withered flower-spray
on its breast. She lighted more
candles-in the wall-brackets and on
the dressing table-and the reading
lamp on the desk. Standing before

neck, and the white hair. A little
