deny sweeter to Genevieve than she dared to
admit.
RUT it was to cause puzzlement to her doc
tors the failure of the healthy young body
of this young woman to respond as they ex-
pected it to.
The bones of Genevieve's body were knitting
all right. but inertia lay upon her. She
could not be coaxed into even attempting to
walk. Her doctors regarded her in amaze
ment and suggested more mental effort.
Royal Morgan came to share in their puzzle-
ment. His entire life was bound up in the
recovery Of Genevieve Johnson. It frightened
him to contemplate the continuation of her
bed-ridden days on and on into no one knew
what uncertainty.
One day, in spite Of his resolution to conceal
from her his terror and anxiety, he found him.

And with the passing of the years there.
came to Genevieve the passing of certain ilu-
sions, hopes and dreams. The crash Of the
last of them came when Royal Morgan mar
ried visiting girl from Chattanooga. 1t was
not that Genevieve had admitted even to her
self that much of her hope for happiness was
bound up in the figure of this able and amiable
young engineer. But deeply inside of her,
when the blow of his marriage came, Genevieve
realized that this time she had been cut to
the soul.
It was strange marriage. Certainly it
would have seemed from the very outset, to
those who knew Royal, that girl like Gene
We've would have been irrefutably better suited
to him than the one of his choice.
Royal was the leyel-headed, up-and- coming
type of American young man, inevitably headed
for substantial kind of success. The girl
he married was the frilly. scatterpated South
ern Belle type, that has been crowded to the
wall by her more modern and efficient sister.
Geneyieve represented pretty nearly all the
things that Royal Morgan somehow would
seem to have needed in a wife. And yet, as
Genevieve admitted bitterly to herself, the
greater her success in business the more surely
che and Royal grew apart. He had always
shown a fine and robust enthusiasm for her
achievement. but there came the time when
Royal laughingly pointed out to her the fact

DY this time Genevieve was earning az least
- four or i've times as much as any man
of her acquaintance. She was in class by
herself-a phrase which was destined eventu-
ally to grind itself relentlessly into the con-
science of the young executive.
She was in a class by herself.
More and more, in her social life. awareness
of this fact drove itself home to Genevieve.
The boys with whom she had grown up, gone
to school, and mingled socially, began to segre-
gate themselves, as it were, into little groups
of aloofness from Genevieve. They admired
her, but she represented something inaccessible.
What youth earning less than one-hah the
amount that this quiet, brown-hared, brown
eyed girl was commanding could feel himself
comfortable attempting to entertain her?
There was nothing he could do that she could
not more readily accomplish for herself 1t
was an insidious and subtle and a gradual
thing that began to take place in little world
that revolved around Genevieve Johnson.
Even with her girl friends, the isolation OF
her kind of superiority began to rest heavily
upon Genevieve. 1t was not, of course, that
they reacted the way the boys did They re-
garded her with respect and a certain amount
of ave. they were proud of her friendship,
and even while they remained in the lesser
capacities of stenographers and saleswomen,
paid her the tribute of undisguised admiration
But in the end, what happened to these girl
friends was that they married of, one by one.
The inevitable pairings of young people who
had grown up together in a community began
to take place. Tom married Jenny. Avrl
married George. The Kennedy twins mar
ried two local merchants. And Rita Irving,
Genevieves closest friend, made an interesting
alliance with young artist from Savannah,
