cline being building contracts, stone

Electricity and coal production con
stituted the sources of activity this
month.
Large increases of over 10 per

over a month since Jean had gone.
Sonia's heart ached to see him SO
white and tired, absorbed in his
profession but sick with loneliness.
At last she decided to play her last
card. If she lost she would tell him
what Jean had done and give him
up to her. But her heart pleaded,
passionately, that she would not lose!
What had once been so entirely hers
could surely be won again.
When he returned at midnight, he
found her curled up in his bed.

Her baby was there. She seemed to

CHAPTER XIX

Sonia decided to make herself ad-
here to the same program she
would have followed if she had
never had a child. In the succeed
ing week she went swimming, she
had lunch with jimmy, she shopped
and went to the theater. And at
first none of these things gave her
any pleasure. They were duties
only. In the midst Of her swimming
tears would come to her eyes.
Many times the old, hopeless sense
Of futility swept over her. Yet,
eventually, she was rewarded by
steadied nerves, and the secret sat
isfaction of knowing she was sue
ceeding, if not with Don, at least in
the discipline of her own excessive
emotionalism.
Once more the fiat glowed with the
touch of loving hands, flowers
frightened the breakfast table, and
