That was question which the
woman apparently chose TO leave

for the silence TO break he turned
with peremptory signal for Manley

why are you here?"

"You will misjudge that" answered
the woman as she threw back the
heavy folds Of her veil, las much as
you misjudged my actions of twenty
years ago."
Enoch Golden's face did not bianch,
even though he knew that he was
looking into the face OF the woman
who had once been his wife. the
woman who was the mother Of his
child. For a time, even more than the
Vaccinations of Legar, had worked

years now lay too wide between them

Her heart sank as glasses were re-
