at last.
She had her moment of bravery
and then quick agonized vision of the
loneliness ahead-the loneliness she
must endure without the comfort and
warmth of Michaels love and faith
Krellin stood dazed by the impact
of the spiritual blow he had felt al

Emily gathered herself to meet her

"All Of you together aren't strong
enough to fight against the truth"
she moaned YEARLY. Now that the
time had come she felt strange re-
coil from the tissue Of lies with which
she had sought to mask what once
meant not evil but good to her. In a
strange reaction she knew at once
because the fight was over and bitter
sorrow because she thought her dream
was over, too. Michael fairly recoiled
from her, gasptng in q husky voice
that articulated at once disbelief and
the need tor believing.
I'm done for! I've got to give
you up!" cried the girl desperately.

"so-so-my poor little Emmy" At
the door he turned: Faith is a vir-

makes fool of you! Fool-Fool!"
In pity for himself because he had
been duped and flouted and sneered
at, perhaps Michael for the moment
forgot Emmy's greater suffering.
'Michael-go to Emily" cried Law
renee with sudden flash of strange
tenderness and insignia flash eman-
ating from all the greater sweetness
in his boytsh nature.
Michael faced the boy with look
of dawning respect. "My poor little
Emmy! She needs me now more than
ever before"
Emily had found tenderness and un.
derstanding in the hearts of three
men. All had loved her-selfishly and
destructively perhaps-one had so
