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

fact will mean to you. God help me!

been certain, Judith, of your heart.
Sometimes | have thought you loved

night when ! saw you wearing my
cape jessamines at the ball, was
almost sure Of 1t. 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, | must love you, dar-
ling, you and no other, as long as
live!"
When she had read thus far. she
closed the letter, and pressing hand
against her heart as II to still its
throbbing, locked the written pages
in drawer OF her bureau. She went
downstairs and made Ranston bring
her chair TO it's 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 were 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.

In the subdued candle-light Mrs.
cambridge locked the door Of her
room. She opened a closet, and from
the very bottom OF a small haircloth
trunk, lifted and shook out from its
many tissue wrappings a faded gown
Of rose-colored silk, with pointed bod
ice and old-fashioned puffeleeves. She
spread this on the bed and laid with II
a pair of yellowed satin slippers and
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 its
silvery curling meshes in a low soft
coil. Looking almost furtively about
her, she put on the rose-colored gown.

Sorrow weeps-sorrow sings" As
Shirley played that night. the old Rus
Ian proverb kept running through her
mind. When she had pushed the gold
harp into its corner she threw herself
upon broad sofa in a feathery drift
of chintz cushions and dropped her
forehead in her laced fingers. A gilt
framed mirror hung ON the opposite
wall, out of which her sorrowful brood
ing eyes looked with an expression OF
dumb and weary suffering.
Her confused thoughts raced hither
and thither. What would be the end I?
Would Valiant forget after a time?
Would he marry-Miss Fargo. per.
haps? The thought caused her a stab
OF anguish. Yet she herself could not
marry him. The barrier was impas-
sablei
She was still lying listlessly among
the cushions when a step sounded on
the porch and she heard Chilly Lusk's
voice in the hall. With heavy hands
Shirley put into place her disheveled
hair and rose TO meet him.

She disclaimed the WEAKNESS that
dragged upon her spirits like leaden
weights, and made him welcome with
her usual cordiality. She was, in fact,
relieved at his coming. At Damory
court. the night Of the ball. when she
had come from the garden with her
lips thrilling from Valiant's kiss. she
