A dainty little bIue-eyed fairy
peeped out of her flower home and
looked at the world. She was so

when she finally met him he told
her he was going to Europe. The an
nouncement played into her thought.
She supposed he referred to their go
ing together. She was possessed by
the belief that she was still as neceS-
Sary to him and as he had become to
her. But he left iner, left her with
scarcely a word of reference to her
letter.
Their last evening together was
nightmare for her to remember. Her
GOODNESS had chilled him, else he
would have spoken. Of this she was
sure. She must tell him plainly she
cared. Then she committed ..he folly
of her life. She wrote to him. Not
one letter, but several. They were all
love letters. That much she knows.
What she said, she has mercifully for
gotten. But never once did she imag-
inc she had placed him in a difficult
position. Then one day came a letter
from Rome.
She laughed when she read it.
What has come over the MANI she
asked herself. When realization came
to her she was numbed, frozen by
what she had done. The thought that
she had told him she cared bit so
deeply into her pride there had to be
reaction. Not all at once. Such
hurts do not heal easily, but in the
course of time she did get over it.
Three years later, their interrupted
correspondence was resumed 1t came
about quite naturally. He had been
appointed to the bench and she wrote
to congratulate him. That was sever
al years ago.
AS a judge, you, yourself have
been called upon to decide nice ques-
lions, questions where the distinctions
are subtle. Was the woman in the
wrong? She thinks not. But she can
glimpse the mans amazement as he
read those letters; his feelings, that
even II his actions were confirmatory
until those last days, she had no right
to attach Importance to them until he
had said the words that would sup
port them.
He has come back and now asks in
plain words what he asked many years
ago when they were young together
what he asked by implication year af-
ter year. She is no longer young She
is alone Her support comes from her
own efforts and sometimes she
grows very tired. His offer means
wealth, leisure. Her love for him is
dead But she feels warm friendliness
Will friendliness and companionship
take the place of that other feeling
now that she is past youth? Does he
really care, or is his desire for her
merely pang of conscience that he
should have so hurt her? A wish to
make amends for that hurt? 1 think
she lost all sense of adjustment when
she received that letter.
Long before she had finished, Judge
Norton had left his place before the
fire and was walking slowly back and
forth the length of the room As her
voice ceased he stopped before her
Il show up pretty badly, Eleanor,
