Then put OF a world that seemed
as cold and empty as a glacial mo-

On the gray line Of a Sahara of un.

1t wouldn't be easy to explain
things to Gerry. 1t would. in fact.
involve sacrifices OF pride which mafe

she had talked about having an at.
torney. And It was her duty to find
one.
THERE had been a time, during a

entertained some tenderer feeling for
Gerry Rhindelander west, her next,

stone wall was quite as munificent
as her own.
But Gerry had disappointed her.
He primarily disappointed her by

Teddie had bitten him on h wrist
when forcibly held down in a bitter
struggle to recover from her posses

estate.
And he finally disappointed her by
abandoning his fixed intention OF be
coming an e~ngine-driver n decided
to waste a once promising young life
on due preparation for the study OF
law.
Gerry. II IS true, later on attempted
to revive this bllghted romance by
bombarding her with purple.tinted
boxes OF English violets done up in
glazed paper and surmounted by
small and neatly addressed white en-,
velopes, and sometime, with striped
boxes so big they locked like baby
collins, EXCEPT for the thorny stalks
which protruded from one cut.away
