In a lightning excitement. scenes
flashed through her brain. She
stood at her bureau that night
drawing a little brush across her
fine, arched brOws. She said to
her image: II should worry! Any
old time! What Is to be, will
be-" A little hysterical laugh and
quoting what she had heard on
lila Moore's lips-"The best of all
possible worlds, you know-that's
us!'
She put the brush carefully in
its tiny box, stared at It a long
while. She bit the tears back
from her eyes. She said to her.
But she waited, until they were
parked at the beach and he
slumped back, comfortable. his
arm carelessly about her. She

"Janina told me. Is It true,

"Quite otherwise, isn't 1t? Quite

"Rather-yes-"
Her voice pitched higher-faint:
"And you're going. Barry? Are
you?'
Pause stretched out in anguish.
Then crisply: ''No."
You're going to turn down a
chance like that, Barry? Are you?
For me? Because OF me?"

But she didn't look at him
didn't want to see his face, white,
anxious, tender. She was often
seeing this subdued, gentle look.
And she didn't want It. She
wanted the vital, impulsive fire
that had so won her from the be-
ginning. She wanted his eyes to
grin, his mouth to purse teasingly.
Oh-bonny, like that! She loved
him so,
When she saw this vividness
striking like a light about him as
when they went to the lectures;
when she saw the ardent youth
uppermost in his face, she whis-

He's living now. I don't fire
him so. Not any more. I'm not

It occurred to her that he per-
ceived this too-that he read her
fear. For often after these eve
nings he came eagerly, bringing
books, showing them at her, bring
ing a picture, some little trinket.
He. said boyishly: Here. frail!

She went into her room and
drebsed-a warm, melting sad

the sadness Of music that holds
in its deepest pain the undertone
Of JOY.
Only when he came-late that
evening after Jonathan and Jennie
were in bed-only then and she
saw the wilderness Of his face,
the drawn, thin look about his
mouth, did she comprehend this
undertone.
They stood looking at each

Then, oddly enough, he told her

She glanced up and saw q

amazement: You seem glad to

shook. you are glad to go"
She spoke softly with a little
broken question in her breath.
Her hand Of its own wild long

He took 1t, drawing In his
mouth, trembling: "Chickie-well-

She closed her eyes, standing
quiet in the darkness that fell
upon her mind. Its over.
Barry? Oh. you speak Of thing

Now her voice dropped lower;
now her heart bowed with its
deadly weight. She swayed a
little. He steadied her with his
arm. He murmured gently:
"Chickie-oh can l help It? 1

me-you blame me for 1t all"
She said with a little, GREATNESS

She pressed her open hands
against him. found his arms about
her. She lay quiet against him.
After a while she whispered:

His lips were cold. They
touched her closed eyes, pressed
her mouth. She felt as though
she were lying in a coffin and

chill reverence Of death.
