What Katie Wished Madge to Tell
the Man She Loved.


: AS Katie felt the touch of my arm
around her shoulders, and heard me
SIX her to tell the reason for her sud
den outbreak of tears and sobs, she
clutched me convulsively with both
her strong young hands and putting
her head down on my shoulder wept
as if her heart would break.
1 let the tears have their way,
| reasoning that no matter what their
cause, they would relieve her. But
| could not understand the outburst
Katie had always seemed such a
volatile, happygo-lucky creature, with
only occasional fits of sullenness.
Since her engagement to Jim she had
been wildly happy. But as L reflected

Her sobs gradually grew quieter,
and at last she withdrew herself from
my arms, and faced me, her face all

She walked over to the door, closed
and locked It, Then bringing her
rocking chair over to me, she pushed
me gently into it, and sank down on
the floor at my feet, olasping my knees
and looking up into my face with all
the humble pathetic trustfulness of a
dog.

said, with a vague dislike Of seeing
her in that posture. There is another

returned, pitifully. For a long time
she sat silent, while I waited for her
to regain control Of herself

singing should start, we got under way.
