dead in the woods that afternoon.
Bitterest jealousy added to his pain
of remorse as he wondered why he
had never before guessed the truth.
So many times she had said
things that should have told him.
Even as far back as that first morn
ing they spent together on the
island she had said:
And IL uncle asks you about our
our wedding what shall you tell
him?"
What a callous brute she must
have thought him!
And again, only two days ago,
she had said bitterly: Il still have
one ring of yours which l have
never dared to wear"
Even that had not told him, and
now the game was at an end. The
lights were out. and presently the
curtain would be rung down be-

He sat with his head in his hands

limbs and drew up the blind.

He changed his clothes and put

Somewhere in the house a clock

He stood for a moment, hat in

of the house.
1t was growing light very fast
and the trees and shrubs all around
were creeping out of the darkness
