pretty much alike. I'm afraid, until
they have some hope Of being loved by
the only Girl There was a time when
1ell from grace myself I shall not
zen you ner name. You do not know
her You never will know her. I was
young and foolish and she was-well
neither! The thought of my sinful
folly has tortured me during the past
year. / had to confess It to you. / do
not plead for mercy"
There are few things that make
more for love and confidence than does
an open and unsolicited confession Of
past errors. This man, in yielding
weakly and as precautionary meas
ure to the impulse TO confess. had
made his companion feel that he vas
more noble than she had known She
sat thinking deeply after he had
ceased speaking; then she turned and
laid an impulsiye hand on his arm
Il am sorry IL happened, Ralph" she
whispered But I an glad and proud
that you told me"
He, leaning toward her, bowed his
head and kissed her for the first time.
A college friend OF Toms had IN
York, and the pair had attended the
theater together, stopping in a restau-
rant on their way home
Here Tom had excused himself long

his bearing that his guest took no
