xxx Back in Town

so sparse now that it didn't really mat ter. A great, deep peace crept into Mary's heart Gone was the loneliness of life! She'd met a man now that she loved-and who loved her!
 Love was the greatest thing in all the world. There was nothing else that could make life half so glorious. Sue cess, money ambition, beauty-what were they?
 The counterfeit of love had sometimes come her way. She'd always recognized it's lack of value-and had spurned it. Ah! She had been guided, guided to this moment
 Dicks tenderness, his solicitude for her, were very dear. He could be as gentle as woman. He wrapped the big rug round her knees, tuclxing it about her as though she were the merest baby.
 Her head lay on his shoulder-his broad shoulder, that was going to carry all life's burdens for her now.
 Oh, it was glorious to be loved like this!
 The sinister figure of Vandaveer did not disturb her now. Her thoughts were all of Dick-the future.
 Tomorrow may l come and see you, sweetheart? You must let me have your home address," Dicks cheek touched hers.
 Her home address? A little ruefu smile lowered round Mary's pretty lips.
 TT haven't got home. I live in rooming house. It isn't a very at tractive place. don't think that you'd care"
 You foolish little girlr' Dick kissed her tenderly. "As though it made a scrap of difference to me where you livei You must stay in bed all day to- morrow-Tll send in some flowers to cheer you up--and then, when evening comes, if you feel better, maybe you'd get up and find a room where we could talk? I'll call around to see you, about seven o'clock"
 .'Yes-please do," said Mary, softly. After all, her pride was foolish. Dick
