She could not hear the words. but she could

Andrew passed the window he looked wildly
out into the darkness, as if he knew her there.
But he did not. She was crouched in the
shadow. her heart aching to bursting. An,
that had been long week to wait!
Five minutes were gone. Well still she
would not think what to do if he did not come.
She looked about her. She would not think.
She would look at the other people. Across the
small room. against the wall sat two young
things, a red-headed boy and a blonde girl.
They were in love too. Strange how, when
you were in love yourself. you knew 1t in
everybody else! They were sitting side by
side Under the table their knees were pressed
together and the toe of her little shoe rested
on his foot She could see it. The giri was
adoring the boy. listening to him, her heart
hanging on his every look. He was Dragging
boldly.

Saturday evening was coming, was near. At
last it was come once more
Then she gave the children their nickels
to go to the movies with their grandmother;
then when they were gone. she bathed herself
and dressed freshly from head to foot and
dampened her hair and c,nled the ends around
her ears; then she walked through the dark
ness if it were winter. and through the twilight
if it were summer and she met Andrew here
at the restaurant.
Sometimes he was before her; sometimes as
tonight, she was first. 1t made no difference.
1t was harder for him to get away than for her.
He had his petulant nagging wife to drag at
him with questions and demands. She always
knew how he was when he came in at the
door. 1t would be any moment now. She
glanced at the clock Her heart stopped. 1t
was agreed between them that if the other did
not come IN half an hour, something had
happened to prevent the meeting. She had
waited twenty minutes.
Well, there were still ten minutes. and she
would not think what she would do if he did
not come Time enough to think of that when
she was sure of the worst. Once when he did
not come. she had crept through the streets to
the poor basement where he lived and had
peeped in just to see him, if she could not
speak to him. He was walking about with

words: 1t was easy to see what they were: Il
love you II love you" The boy glanced
about quickly and bent, pretending to mop
up the water. and kissed her quickly.
The woman smiled to see it. She understood
every movement, every look. There was
nothing new in love. after all - it was all old
and lovely and to be repeated over again and
again Its only newness lay in the new strength
it brought wherever it came
And then. just when she felt an intolerabIe
pang of longing for Andrew and turned rest
lessy to the door, not daring to look at the
clock, he came hurrying in, slight dark
tiredlooking man, his black hair plainly
white about his temples, and no hat to hide it.
He came to her instant as bird to its
home They had so little time. They began
at once, with no words wasted. They had to
know at once that the other was there, was
unchanged, and was warm and ardent and
loving.
Ruth - my darling!" he cried under his
breath. II wish you could see how you look!
When came in your face was turned to me

Shelool<ed into the wry mirror and laughed.
She could see her face there under the brown
hat sweet and flushed and shining and very
pretty. It was not at all the same face she
would see tomorrow morning in the mirror.
Yet this face was her own, her real face. They

a IL THROUGH the week, she did not

l. n she waited for Andrew, did she feel
that her fingers were too rough with sewing
and that her dark hair was grey under her
small brown hat. She had seconds thank
fulness that since things we're as they were,
since they might not marry and live together,
that she could wear her hat. and 50 he need
not see how heavy the grey was upon her
head. There was broad band of it over her
forehead, sweeping down to the very ends of
her hair, and she was careful to keep her
hands in her lap under the table.
1t was quarter past seven o'clock. That
ona December evening meant black darkness.
The little restaurant on Lexington Avenue
was dimiy lit. But she was glad for that. too.
In the wry mirror opposite her, the light felt
kindly upon her face. She was still pretty in
her soft way; there was still childlike clear
ness IN her brown eyes. When she was alone.
when she woke in the morning and hurried,
before she went to the dressmaker's shop
where she worked, to get the two rooms to
rights and breakfast ON the table for the
children and her mother. she was grieved to
see how she looked. She was even sometimes
sadly grateful that Andrew was not there to
see her morning pallor and her dull eyes. Even
Andrew. she thought, sitting here waiting for
him, even Andrew might not love her at those
times. Especially on the mornings when she
knew that there must pass six whole days
before she could see him again. her prettmess
seemed gone from her. Then slowly as the days

She felt happy and excited.
and she longed to tell him every
thing at once. That was the
way they both felt the moment
they met. First she must know
how he really was. She held
his hand under the table ten

he was a little feverish. But to-
