Frank" said Mrs. Langhsm.
there's hard time ahead for you
for all OF us. Don't let anything
that Diana says or does hurt your
love for her. Your whole future
yours and hers. is founded on that.
She has treated you SO outrageous
iy that sometimes I am afraid that
your love may change suddenly
into something else"
Not The Only Listener.
II couldn't ever stop loving Di-
ana" said Manners simply, but my
love has been so snubbed. abused
and brow beaten that Il has become
almost inarticulate. Sometimes II
seems to me that 1t is buried under
contempt. But it's always there;
always ready to jump 20 it's feet.
and TO forgive. Don't be afraid"
She turned and went slowly up
the stairs. From the landing she
smiled to him and waved her hand
He opened the front door and
stood in the cold night air listening
for the sounds Of wheels on the
gravel. He looked at his watch. A
quarter before ten. IL she had
found a motor at the station she
should be here now; but IL there
was nothing to lift her home but
broken down hack drawn by
broken-down horse he must have
patience. And then, Of course. that
particular train stopped at every
station and was almost always late.
Manners was not the only lis
tener in the house. Upstairs at
window which she had opened, Mrs.
Langham was also listening. She
had developed with relation 90 her
son-in-law a peculiar intuitive SYM
pathy, by which she was sometimes
enabled TO penetrate MS varying
moods, and even to follow for
time his trains of thought And
she knew that tonight his mood
was dangerous. He did not know
this himself. He imagined that his
nerves and mind were under per-
feet control.

of the young man and don't care
IL he comes to see you that night

My brother and girl friend are In
love. Although she comes to visit
me often. my brother never enters
into a deep conversation and when
an outing Is suggested, he turns
away. still he loves this girl. What
shall I do TO bring them together7

Keep your fingers out OF the pie II
your brother truly loves your girl

from you IN telling her so or in
