up into the trees to wonder how the

the JOY OF living had died within

Then across the seas there comes

the spring to come when the robins

Daniels after long pause. "Maybe

He was late getting into court, but
whatever conflicting emotions the
promise made by Daniels had reused
in him were hidden by the smiling
mask of confidence and ease with

the spectators.
TO Mary, that smile and the deep
abiding tenderness in his eyes were the
two things that made it possible to
bear with patience the weary strain of
the passing days. The first shuddering
horror Of the tragedy had passed, it is
true, and in spite of its occasional re-
turn in the quiet Of sleepless nights.
1t had given place to less poignant
though bitter enough suffering.
The Glasgow courier., 1916-05-26

With the passing Of the acute agony,
lowever, the little things at first SUBJ
merged came to the surface and be-
came a source of daily martyrdom.

lack Of privacy; the limited conven-
fences; the roughness of the police and
the suffOcating sense Of being. a pris.
Oner: Of being denied the fresh air and
the sunshine and the right to 60 where
she pleased, seemed almost unbear-
able.
Yet she knew that the agony Of her
suffering was doubled by that Of Lang
don: that he went through vicariously
all she endured as well as bearing his
own burden, and so for his sake she
bore up, drinking in courage from the
love that enveloped her whenever his
eyes met hers.
For just as the trial and what had
gone before it had stripped her of her
woman's subterfuges and coquetries,
SO had 1t stripped Langdon's love Of
the masculine dread of publicity, and
he cared nothing even If, all those in
the courtroom read the secrets Of his
heart.
On this particular morning, however,
Mary fancied that there was u new
meaning In his smile, and light Of
hope in his eyes, and there was keen
interest in her own gaze when the first
witness was called.
