toeing into the library late that night, found Heath stiii at his writ ing table. The crumpled papers in the wastebasket testified to agonies of literary composition. Heath was folding several thick, creamy sheets and putting them into an envelope.
 CT wish you would take this and mail it at once, simon. I, don't want it to walt until morning. And by the way" as the servant turned to go, "I'li be leaving tomorrow in- stead of Monday. 90 be sure to have my things packed by noon."
 Simon began to ask question but his employer stopped him brusquely.
 "I've changed my plans, that's all," he said. "Get along like a good boy and drop that in the box"
 After the man, had left Heath sat for long while with his head in his hands.
 Susan let herself into the house and stood for a moment to gain time. She dared not show her flushed face and luminous eyes to the inquirings Miltons before she had chance to compose herself. She had sent Bob away. All after noon they had walked in the park. scarcely knowing which way their steps led them. They had argued but Susan had been adamant. It her word at the eleventh hour.
 There was something of the martyr in her, perhaps. At any An ah txa At al tle tS hrfn ner herself to give Bob the promise he wanted. He had been angry. He had said some cruel and cutting things.
