floor, was drunk again and promised

room in which she sat, and made her
nervous, for she was feeling the re-

the stairs. and a childs shrill voice
cried. she's in there" and. suspecting

the handsomest being in the world.
But 1t was not the tan. nor the UNUSUAL

face-and all she could say was. "Oh,

He took her hand in one Of his and
put his other on top OF 1t firmly. Yes"
he said. Everything IL wrong. But

hands now, and was pressing them
against the flowers In the breast Of the :
long coat
"Eleanore," he said. Il tried to tell
