He had a dying statemen, written and put in type and was in beatific frame of mind when the notice came that reprieve had been granted until sundown.

 THE ADMISSION
 "Oh, know all about It." rejoined Dr. Milton. Margaret read the poem to me. In fact, I think she recited It-she knew 1t by heart"
 Well. Milt, my idea is that Glen denIng honestly thinks the poem one of the best things ever written" said Clavering.

 "Glendening thought 1t was so good he couldn't keep 1t from her Here Is what he says:
 q was so engrossed in my intat- uation that I had forgotten how fast the weeks can fly. I hadn't realized that Margaret was due and her arr rival was most unexpected. l was so surprised I couldn't meet the emergency. But someway I got it into my fool head that MarBhrot Wouiu understand. So with no idea or in tention of concealing my infatuation for the American Rose, I went lm- mediately to her hotel.

 That was her great charm.
 "She was the only woman could absolutely take into the vistas of my mind and into the secret places of my heart. Before her I felt no great elation and no shame in show ing both my best and worst side. never once thought whether she would think was egotistical or self pitying, modest or unafraid, calm or enthusiastic. She was just part of me and now when I have lost her really know how necessary she Is to me.

 Yes. boy, I probably shall wish 1t hours every day. shall wake up m the night and call your name. but when l do my one prayer will be that God Tn His goodness will take from me every memory of you.

 Harry. you have never loved any one In all the world but yourself You are the incarnation of selfish ness
 "'oh, Margaret tied out in an- guish. How can you say that. Sure ly have always been kind to you
 "Yes. but only because you enjoy being kind to me. When you left my little apartment on the night that Quito, I was almost persuaded that you did really love me. I was almost ready to make the flight into the realm of scandal from which I, at least, might never return.
 T only asked you to keep me in your mind just 14 days and let me understand at the end that you still loved me. still wanted me.
 Well, boy ofmine-no-longer. You have answered me. Within 24 hours after you left me your whole time, attention and emotion were laid at the feet of another woman.
 Tt is very probable thhat she loves you. You are very fascinating when you care to be, Harry. Your fascina- tion is your strength and your strength is your weakness. But I be- lieve now that not one woman who has ever met you has been hap pier because of 1t.

 But. Margaret. you will let me see you occasionally--as a friend. l want that much of a chance to re- gain your love.

 After a moments silence she arose and departed. 1 have never seen her since. I have never wanted to see the American Beauty again, but, more is the pity-I have had to sec her. You know how my wife found one of her foolish notes in my coat pocket and sued me for divorce.
 What will happen to me now, I do not know. Whatever happens q probably shall deserve 1t. But Jim, it is up to you to say whether 1t would be best for me to fight that bill of divorcement which my wife has filed against me. or whether I had better let her get 1t and just drift as l always have drifted.
