 But 1t was a wilted and wholly abject Peters who stumbled over the threshold and collapsed into the chair opposite the chief. He panted like frightened rabbit, and his flabby jowls had lost their ruddiness and turned a pasty grayish hue.

 That's just what I can't possibly do." walled Mildred ''It would break his heart" Hearts don't break" I suggested. Hes weak-he couldn't bear the blow
 And were you planning to spend the rest of your life with . man who is too weak to stand up under the truth? Did you fancy for one min ute that you could love a man who isn't sturdy enough to make some thing of his life in spite of all the ad- verse winds of chance2"

 Maybe his caring so much flat tered you at first and you encourag- ed it a wee bit" I suggested Mildred stared at me for an angry minute that threatened to break off the entente cordiaie between us Then she set her lips grimIy and spoke out with the ba-ic honesty that makes her a fine. lovaole girl

 And you couldn't offer him poor CT substitute for love than pity" I gave back "An the talk in the world about their being akin doesn't make pity a safe foundation for a wornan's house of love The man you pity, my dear. is hardly the man in whom you believe Tenderness. sympathy and understanding are not pity
 ''The man you pity seems to you a weakinE who's had bad deal from fate or who isn't possessed of enough character to fight his way out of difficulties If you marry him. you're likely to be the man of the family.

 He's less to be pitied If I trust him to be man enough to weather the storm of truth-than If I treat him like a baby to be petted and looked down on?" asked Mildred.
