 Her quietness was as much due to resignation as anything else. She was firm in the. intention not to drag Gran ford into these quicksands of cross purpose and treachery and dishonor.
 If it had been all ordinary case, i'm personal she would have confded to him at the beginning. But it was not ordinary, it was terribly personal, and he must never, never know what lay back of it all. a
 If she had told him anything it must be all, and oh, she did not want him to go away, thankful for his escape. She wanted always to remain the suS- tie mystery, sometimes to enchain his thought in the dim future. An. why had she not died in the kindly convent, with all her beautiful illusions?

 The two men made a hand chair for her and carried her into the parlor and laid her on the sofa.
