August 29-I am lost in the midst
Of friends who would do anything in
the world for me. Why" Because
all that / had OF soul or character
has been given away. To whom?
A devil who thinks no more Of II. than
n hoy would think of n dirty -Haced
doll. What a fiend a man can be in
his brutality.
What does he care for anyone
Just himself. If you do his bidding
no matter how low, you are a fa-
vorite. If YOU dare utter thing
which parallels your ideals you be-
come nuisance. and warned, like
an unruly prisoner. You've let your
self into the immoral prison and just
dare to defy your captor. The man
who can take your reputation, which
is more valuable than your life.
A word may ruin you and make
you n laughing stock. So you smile
through Ii. Whnt grimnce-what
n fool: 1t would seem that n brute
mt heart would show II in his face
SO clearly that the world could rec
Ognixe 1t mt a glance. but 1 did not.
God! what I did!
Smiled back at the big black spider

and then strolled in. Poor, silly,
hearsick fool. Not dragged in:
walked, sauntered to the end of my
happiness and stopped in the midst
of my despair. Nothing cures it. 1
