To forget you! Think of that! But
one night you were lying on long

Diana Cried Herself to Sleep.
His voice thrilled with those
memories. And she lay still as
death, her eyes, black as pools OF
ink staring past him into the shad-
ows. And at that moment there
existed for her nothing but the
vibrations of that impsssioned and
impsssioning voice. He leaned to-
ward her, she turned her face to-
ward him. and looked into his
eyes.
And at that moment she was not

hung heavily on her hands. There
was nothing for her to do in the
house. Philip was always engrossed
with business and lawyers. and
even had IL been otherwise he
would not have wanted her. Mr..
winterdick did not want ber either.
So Eva was thrown very much
with Tom Calligsn. and. indeed,
without him she felt that many
times she would have gone mad.
But he was always CHEEKY and
kind: when he came into the room
where she was she felt somehow
the better for his presence; when
he left her again she felt her spir-

said to her once. You both look as

Phillip would not care to CO.
Eva said simply.
She looked steadily at Calligan as
she spoke: she had quite got over
the feeling now that she must
always turn her face away when
ever she spoke of her husband.

She was beginning to feel that
Mrs. winterdick was of far more
consideration to Philip than she her
self: in all the world there seemed
to be nobody who really cared what
she did or what became OF her.
Even Peter seemed TO have
changed in some inexplicable way;
Oh n
self? She did not know-she gave
up trying to puzzle IL out.
She only knew that Peter was
great deal at the Arlingtons, and
that people were wondering when
their engagement would be an
announced.
She had never dared somehow TO
speak 10 Peter ABOUT IL, and Peter
never broached the subject to her.
