John faced her with brooding eyes.
''Its so kind of you. Ellen, to worry
about me. But it isn't just the city
and the cold that have beaten me. 1t
is myself and my futile existence.
You say I'm successful lawyer. But
my place in the firm was just gilt
to me when I left college, family
heritage. I've never achieved any
thing by my own effort alone. I
couldn't even achieve marriage to the
woman thought loved. Well, that's
all over. I'll try to go along and work
q little while. And then-Ellen, why
do you bother about me?"
Ellen wished she could tell him
why, could tell that to give him
sympathy was not entirely unselfish;
that 1t had been deeply thrilling to
renew their casual acquaintance and
hear his condolences, though these
had brought her sorrow. She dared
not voice her hope that she could
have the love he once had given to
the young actress who had broken MS
heart and then gone on her capricious
way.
She had only one course, she re-
fiected to help him find the heal

had lured countless men.

smiling as you used to be-"
"Is it really SO beautiful? You've
seen Tahiti?"
/ "Of course. I know how 1t will
help you"
John was silent and reflective as
he watched the snow. Then there
was a glow in his eyes as he turned.
But I'd be lost, Ellen. I've never
