Everything was over - forever-be- tween herself and Dan.
 "To be honest" - yes, Dan was always that, he could not be other wise-"to be honest" Sally read again, you are not the kind of girl want, Sally Blair" She knew this should arouse her resentment, her hot anger, her pride and scorn. But that would come later. all of it. Now 1t brought only a dull ache, an empty sense of utter loss.
 What kind of girl did Dan think she was? Hadn't he told her, that lovely day by the brook, that he believed in her? Hadn't she proved to him, during these happy months of friendship, that she was the kind of girl he should believe in? | Looking deep into her own heart Sally knew that though she had tried she had not quite ,suc- ceeded, had not quite played fair. She should have told Dan the whole truth, about herself and about her father, that they had been the ones to help him; she should not have allowed any de- ceit, no matter how small, how right 1t had seemed at the time to her, to lie between them.
 But Dan had gone away not knowing about that. He would never know about that now. He had gone away because he did not want to belong to the world Sally Blair lived in. Because he did not believe, after all, in Sally herself.
 Beyond this she could not req son at the moment. Beyond the fact that this brief letter was fare- well her mind could not function, her heart could not hold anything else.
 Sally took the letter and placed it in her jewel case, turning the key. It was not until later that she was to take it out once more, to tear it into small jagged frag- ments which afterwards she was to burn and which, still later, she ] was to weep over as ashes.
 She wept now, hopelessly, de- spairingly, her slender body, thrown face downward on the beautiful silk and lace covering of her bed, an abandonment of weeping. For Sally Blair, who was the prettiest, the most popular of all the glamour girls, who had broken so many hearts during her short reign as queen of them all, had had her own heart broken completely, irre- parably, now.

morning the letter came. She had looked for a letter SO many morn- ings. Always with that spring oi rising hope that always - until this morning = died away. This morning brought the letter she had waited for SO long. The letter she had known would come. That she knew, even before she opened it, was the letter from Dan.
 She held it against her rapidly beating heart for 8 long moment before she gave herself the ex- quisite delight of reading what Dan had to say. For now, oi course, Dan would explain why he had gone away, he would explain everything, just as she had known he would. He would explain, too why he had not written before.
 The letter was postmarked from the little town in the hills of New Hampshire from which Dan had come. He had returned to his home then. The letter began, Dear Sal- ly." It was very short. It was signed simply, Dan"
 But its contents were what Sally read over and over, first with that high lift of hope, then with increasing dismay and de- spair. Despair tinged with dis beliefe that Dan could have writ ten this letter to her.
 Dear Sally,"-the letter read q thought I could go away with out word. But I find I can't. l don't want you to think me un- grateful for the friendship you gave me. But you were right. l am a coward. When it comes to your gay, glamorous world. thought I could adapt myself to it. I thought, for awhile, that I was happy on 1t. But it is not the kind of world I want, not the kind of life I planned. To be perfectly honest with you, you are not the kind of girl I want, either as told you long ago-Sally Blair"
 There was no other signature, except his name. No address. No postscript. Nothing more. Not even anything to read between the lines For Sally, reading them over and over, tried her best to discover if there could not be something more, left unwritten.
 Oh, surely this could not be all that Dan had to say to her! All that he ever. would have to say This last thought struck her like a blow over her heart, banishing hope entirely. For this brief let ter was farewell; 1t was fnis.

 but when it returned its recom- mendations Parliament was split. Tn 1903 the House voted to name Tumut as the site but the Senate amended the House bill to name Bombala. A long deadlock fol- lowed.

CHAPTER XIX

Almost 8 week had gone by since Dan had gone away so unexpected N. without leaving any word, or saying goodby. Sally still could not accept the fact that he had gone, ahe would not accept the fact that she would not hear from him,
 Corey had not been able to give any light on the mystery. He in- sisted that Dan had not said any, thing, during that last evening when the two young men had been together so long, about go- ing away. Corey had been so sur- prised when Sally had told him that Dan had gone that she was convinced, by his very surprise, that Corey knew nothing about 1t.
 If Corey secretly had been pleas- ed, almost exulted, he had given no sign of that. He said he thought it most ungrateful for Dan to be- have in such a manner, after all Sally and her father had done for him.
 "But he didn't know what Dad- dy and I had done for him." Sally had reminded. If he had, that might have been his reason for go- ingl For Sally knew Dams fierce pride, his dislike of being helped in any way: she knew, too, that he would not have understood her fail- ure to tell him that her father had been his benefactor.
 She asked her father to find out from MT. Frank Devon if Dan had been sent away by the firm on 6 business matter. MT. Devon was sorry to say that young Reyn- olds had resigned from the firm.
 Didn't he give any reason for resigning so abruptly?" Sam Blair asked. He knew this would be a severe disappointment to his daugh- ter. In fact Sam Blair was disap- pointed in the lad, himself.
 "Only that he felt rnis was not the right place for him." MT. Devon returned. He added that he had been sorry the young man had felt that way as he had been making nice progress.
 He did not mention that he had any other offer in mind, did he?" MT. Blair inquired.
 But aside from the sparse facts already given, his employer could dv1ulge no other information about his late employe.

She still would not give up hope that he would send her word of some sort. Sho had to cling to this. She simply could not believe that Dan would disregard their friendship in this way.
 He had had some very good reason for acting as he had, she told herself stubbornly, over and over. There was some very good reason why she had not heard from him. She believed this, be- cause she believed in Dan. But 1t did not keep her heart from ach- ing; nor lift the heavy weight that had settled - for good, apparently -0n it.
