She thought him an extremely diff

when her hints to this effect led him
to remark that she was the 'limit."
They had serious quarrel one day,
when he told her that she was the
most selfish and spoiled woman he
had ever known. He called her at

With this he left her. Left her to
a burst Of angry tears, at first, when
she dropped her lovely little head on
the blue gingham of her apron sleeve
and cried bitterly.
The kettle began to sing on the
stove, q bee came In and wandered
about the hot kitchen; the grocer
knocked, and Cherry let the big lout
of boy stare at her red eyes un-
caring.
Then she went swiftly into the bed

the train at half-past two. Wait
where? Well, she could only wait
here. Very well, she would wait here.
She would not get Martin any lunch,
and when he ragged she would explain.
She finished her packing and put the
house in order. Then, in unaccustomed
mid-morning leisure, she sank into a
deep rocker and began to read. Quiet
and shade and order reigned In the
little house.
Steps came bounding up to Cherry's
door; her heart began to beat; knock
sounded. She got to her feet, puzzled !;
Martin did not knock.
It was Joe Robinson, his closest
friend at the mine.
"Say, listen, Mrs. Lloyd; Mart can't

the mill. A wave Of inconsistencies
swept over the younger sister; life
tasted bitter. She hated Alix, hated
Peter; above all she hated herself.
She wanted to be there, in Mill Valley,
free to play and to dream again
A day or two later she told Martin
kindly and steadily that she thought
it had all "been a mistake" She told
him that she thought the only digni.
fed thing to do was to part. She liked
him; she would always wish him well,
but since love had gone out Of their
relationship, surely it was only honest
to end It.
"What's the matter" Martin de-
manded.
Nothing special" Cherry assured
him, her eyes suddenly watering. "Only

until could get into something"
Cherry replied with dignity. A vague
thought of the stage fitted through her
mind.
"Oh!" Martin said politely. sand

agree to this delightful arrangement"
he asked.
81 know he would" Cherry an
swered eagerly.
"All right-you write and ask him I"
Martin agreed good-naturedly. Cherry
was surprised at his attitude, but
grateful more than surprised.
"Not cross, Mart?" she asked.
"Not the least in the world" he
answered lightly.
Because I truly believe that we'd
both be happier" the woman said
hesitatingly. Martin did not answer.
The next day she sat down to write
her father. She medltated, with a
troubled brow. Her letter was unex-
pectedly hard to compose. She could
not take bright and simple tone, ask
Ing her father to rejoice In her home
coming. Somehow the matter persisted
in growing heavy and the words
twisted themselves about into ugly
and selfish sounds. Cherry was young,
but even to her youth the phrases, the
misunderstood" and the "uncongen.
ial," the friendly parting before any
bitterness creeps in," and the free to
decide our lives in some happier and
wiser way" rang false. Pauline had
been divorced few years ago, and the
only thing Cherry disliked in her friend
was her cold and resentful references
to her first huband.
No, she couldn't be a divorced wom-
an. 1t was all spoiled, the innocent
past and the future; there was no
way out! She gave up the attempt at
letter and began to annoy Martin
with talk Of visit home again.
