She was at the door when she nm
i.hed. The click Of the closing catch
stirred Hazel to speech and action.
"Vesta, Vestal" she cried, and ran
out into the corridor.
But Vesta Lorimer neither needed
nor halted. And Hazel went back to
her room, quivering. Sometimes the
truth Is bitter and stirs to wrath. And
mingled with other emotions was a
dull pang Of jealousy-the first she
had ever known. For Vesta Lorimer
was beautiful beyond most women
and she had but given ample evidence
Of the bigness Of her soul. With
shamed tears creeping to her eyes, Ha-
Eel wondered II she could love even Bill
so intensely that she would drive an
other woman to his arms that he might
win happiness.
But one thing stood out clear above
that painful meeting. She was done
fighting against the blankness that
seemed to surround her since Bill
went away. Slowly but steadily 1t
had been forced upon her that much
which she deemed desirable, even nec-
essary, was of little weight In the bal
ance with him. Day and night she
longed for him. for his CHEEKY voice,
the whimsical good humor Of him, his
Kiss and his smile. Indubitably Vesta
Lorimer was right to term her stiff
necked, selfish fool. But If all folk
were saturated with the essence of
wisdom-well, there was but one thing
to be done. Silly pride had to go by
the board. If to face gayly land
she dreaded were the price Of easing
his heartache-and her own-that
price she would pay, and pay with q
grace but lately learned.
She lay down on the lounge again.
The old pains were back. Ani as she
endured, a sudden startling thought
flashed across her mind. A possibil.
ity?-yes. She hurried to dress, won
dering why 1t had not before occurred
to her, and, phoning up q taxi, rolled
downtown to the Office of Doctor Hart,
An hour or so later she returned. A
picture Of her man stood on the man
tel. She took It down and stared at II
with tremulous smile.
"Oh. Billy-boy, Billy-boy, wish you
knew" she whispered. "But was
coming, anyway, Bill"
That evening, stirring about her
preparations for the journey, she
paused, and wondered why, for the
first time since Bill left, she felt 81
utterly at peace. r. .s..

1t is not always that things turn out
so happily for the rash person who

from headquarters informing her that
her photographs were not only very
good, but resulted in the capture Of

When I am old I will observe the

/ will not pretend to be young, nor
be angry when called old, nor ashamed
Of my age.
/ will not complain Of being old.
