so weary of everything that I seem
a burden?"
This was too much. Don simply
couldn't bear it.
"Oh, Moral" he said gently.

that decided Leonora. She said,
drawing a quick breath: Listen

him a little smile, as one smiles

What else could he do?
AS for Nora, she hung up the re-

thinking. It seemed incredible that
after all Don's patience and for
bearance, this was the end! Anoth-
er tragedy for her father. (How
could she bear it?) Happiness tar
nished by regrets for herself and
Don. Yet there was no other way
could be no other way for them
now. James would believe Ned's
version of the encounter. He would
be angry past all forgiving. Nora
knew. Anything she might say to
him would be quite futile-useless.
A scene would only hurt them both |;
but could she do the easy thing
leave him as her mother had done
so many years ago with merely a
letter of farewell? Being Nora, re-

been to frightened child who had
watched with death, she could not.
Her father deserved better than
that, though he would be unyielding.
Nora knew how unyielding he would

She arose at last, going up the
wide staircase slowly, almost re-
luctantly. Somehow this home had
never seemed so dear to her, nor
so desirable. Passing her fathers
room she paused a moment, recall
ing the many times a little girl,
waking to bad dreams, had scam
pered into his big bed for comfort.
And now she must leave him-hurt
him cruelty. Would he understand
some day-forgive her?
Nora packed, slipped into the
cool, dark dress that would be her
wedding gown; forgot her fathers
picture (the one taken specially for
her when she went to college) /;
opened her suitcase and placed the
photograph where it would not be
broken. A queer, hard lump rose
in her throat. It hurt her. She
worked fast-fast, SO that she would
not weep; and when all was done,
stood at the door a while, letting
her eyes dwell lovingly on every de-
tail of the room-her own first room.
