happy hours and, or late, SO many sad
and wearisome hours in the little bum
galow. AS she looked 1t began to
strike, dismal, lonesome note, as il
the cuckoo had lost it's mate and was
calling in hopeless way from it's little
prison.
-Four o'clock" she said "I'll be-
let me see-where will be? l don't
know New York very well. Yes, I'll
be at the Astor library at six. If you
come for me, then I'll know that l am
really partner and everything will
be all right. If you don't, I'm going
into business for myself; not part
nership, Bob, for love you. But we'll
see, if you let me go alone, which part
ner was right"
She stood looking at him beseech-
ingly, sitting back the tears that
clamored for release. But he made no
answer and she swept them back.
Pride; foolish pride and will against
will.
There was another witness to this
tragedy, but it was not Dick. He had
slipped away. There was present that
silent, cynical figure who laughs I'M
heard and SCOTS unseen when man
and woman stand stubbornly at the
parting of the ways.
Jane" said her husband sadly, 'ff
you feel you have to go, good-by; but
you are casting love and happiness out
Of your life, and tempting fate. Please
don't"
That was not what she wanted. She
wanted the pressure of strong mans
arm and lips; the compelling force
and mastery, not of reason, but of
love. A step or two, the right word, |
and the flood of tears would have |
swept Brand and his satanic shadow |
from the Reynolds hearthstone for
ever. But this step was left untaken;
the word unspoken.
Jane passed out alone.
