too must have suffered through

fastened to assure her, sensing per
haps, what Eva was thinking. "But
1 shall always hate him for what Tx
has done to you, Eva"
Then you do not love htm?'
Eva's voice was filed with profound
relief.
Helen said no in Enthusiastically
negative accents. Eva graSped hel
hands and murmured an expression
of thankfulness.
Cant We talk about something
else?" Heller urged. wouldn't you
like to hear about Bob and me
Eva?"
She had not intended to brine
her newly recovered happiness t.
Eva'S attention at this time, but
suddenly she was sickened of speak
ing of Brent. She wanted to brush
him aside, put him out of her own
life and Eva's, too.
Have you made up?" Eva asked
heartening little over the posi-
bility of happ ness coming to hel
dearly beloved brother.
Made up?" Helen echoed
We've made up SO tight that moth
ing can come between us again"
I'm glad" Eva said simply.
HELEN leaned over and kissed
l. her, drawn by the wistfu.
smile that lowered on her CULVER
ing lips.
you must let yourself be happy
too, DEAR" she said. Think of your
music now, and some day reaI
love will come to you. That sounds
like empty comfort, know, but its
true, if only you can believe it."
II must see Leonard again" Eva
shocked her by declaring.

II must"
Helen sat stiff1y upright. "Why?'
she demanded, but Eva had no an

Stiff Eva did not answer Heller

stirred her to sharp utterance.
Surely you are not going tc
throw yourself at hin?" she cried
Why. Eva dear. don't you realize
that if he'd wanted you . :"
You =. there was you," Eva
said very low
Eva, please" Helen begged
Don't you see, dear, that if it isn't
me it will be some one else who can
bring him what he wants?"
HE loves me, I know he loves
me" Eva cried wildly. He couldn't
have lied SO terribly to me-"
Helen lost a great deal Of hel
patience. Now see here" she ex-
claimed, you aren't going to have
anything more to do with Leonard
Brent. Bob will kill him.
He has made a fool of you Eva
but that was because you are sweet
and good. He couldn't have done il
to a harder-hearted girl. That's the
bitterness of it. If you'd been think
ing only of yourself you couldn't
have become interested in mar
like Leonard-you'd have judged
him by yourself.
LAS it is, you see good IN ever
the worst people. That may bs
because you are so clever, Sc

But. oh. Eva. please, whatever it is

Il must see him." Eva persisted
NO" Helen protested. Let me

him chance to explain"
Eva" Helen said soberly, "wh,
must you be like this? You wer,
ready to give up your life-wasn'
it because you knew Brent has de-
ceived you? Nothing has changed
that. What can you hope for now?'
