he caught up his hat and rushed from the
room.
He found himself in theopen. There was
chill in the air, but he did not notice
it. He walked at a terrific pace through
the darkened streets. He walked for
hours, faster and faster, as though by
mere physical haste he were striving to
catch up with some aching hearts desire
that lodged before him, threatening at
any moment to disappear forever and
leave behind an eternal void.
What had he done? Oh, what had he
lost? AS "A man gazing across "A bleak chasm
at a pleasant land he stared back through
long ages to the life of peace and trust
and communion that had once been his.
How monstrous," cried his fevered
mind, that so great happiness should
be SO fragile" and something within him
answered, Happiness endures only within
guarded shrines.
Twice some fellow pedestrian snatched
him back from precipitating himself be-
fore a shadowy bus Finally Il constable

him and asked him if he knew where he
was going
At the moment the question seemed al
most natural to Hollender, He answered
that of course he knew where he was going,
and mentioned his own address. The
officer hailed a passing taxi; thrust him
into it, slammed the door. and gave the
driver directions. Five minutes later the
cab drew up at the familiar door Hol-
lender realized that he had been walking
in Il circle, as though some loadstone had
held him to its orbit.
He paid the fare automatically, and,
avoiding the elevator. climbed slowly to
his own floor, opened the door, and
walked in.
The Girl was sitting where he had left
her, only her head was fallen forward be-
tween her outstretched arms. He coughed
and shuffied his feet. She looked up,

A THOUSAND things had been on his
tongue to say-great things, strong
things, born of vast grief and shame and
utter surrender: but his lips, driven by
subconscious curiosity opened to puerle

subterfuges. She could feel him twitching
in her presence as though under an irk-
some restraint, and when he would sud-
denly rise and prepare to go out, she was
too hurt even to raise her eyes in question.
If his wife was under strain, Hollender
was doubly so. He had to fight not only
against circumstances, but against him
self. He was constantly haling himself
before tribunal, trying himself over and
over again, and finding no acquttal; only
relief in bitterness at the memory of the
overwhelming discovery he made on the
train. The Girl was gone forever; there
remained this woman whom he could
never trust.
More than once he left his work hur-
riedly to dash to the fiat on some fimsy
preteXt, but really only to find out what
his wife was doing. On each of these oc-
casions he started out possessed by mad
speculations; on each he returned feeling
demeaned, assured by his tardy sanity
that he had lowered himself, was con-
stantly lowering himself. Life became

He turned and stared at her. Her voice

days. For a moment he saw her with the
eyes that had known only the Girl He
felt a shock. If this We're indeed the Girl,
her arms had gone strangely thin. Under
her eyes there We're shadows and pale
cheeks, and mouth drawn down at the
corners. In her eyes themselves was
faded light, as of ilacs wilted in too hot
