Please, Derry bad another message
from her employer. His sailing
was postponed another week.
This news she received with min
gled feelings. She was nearing
the point OF emotional stress
where she would have been glad
to have had him back, to have
faced the necessity Of setting her
self into her groove, to have her

put an end to the whole thing

stamped it, and went out to mail
it, in which virtuous purpose she
found telegraph officer-where-
upon she sent off wire which to-
tally undid all that the letter had
intended to do, that painfully SEN
sible letter which shortly after was
whirled away in small fragments
by the bright and wanton west
wind.
