Twenty years had passed since she
had seen him; twenty years since the
night when, dressing for her wedding
with him, she had found white spot
on her arm and recognized the doom
that was hers. Twenty years she had
hidden away In the little house behind
the tall green fence, nor heard a word
nor seen q face from all her world, her
gay French world she loved So No
one knew who lived in the little house !;
men said it was haunted Strange
noises were heard there: hurrying
passers-by declared that the fig and
myrtle tops above the fence stirred
when the trees on the sidewalk were
still; an old negress told in nerve
crinkling whispers how once at early
dawn and once late at night she had
seen black-robed figure going sound
lessly in the high gate. And so, as
about all things not understood, le-
gends grew, woven out of the fancy
Of the superstitiouS, and wrapped the
house in a veil of mystery and trag-
cry that shut it from the outside world
iron-barred gates.
Mystery there was and sublime trag-

A longing possessed her to reach

longing so potent that for a moment
she forgot even the fear, forgot that

She pulled rose, a red rose, their
sign in the old days: she would put it

it. Would he know and understand?
He might never know and even east it

would be a comfort in the long empty
days behind the excluding green fence.
