Walker stated that he walked
into a small restaurant; located
about one block from the center
and asked for a CUP OF coffee The

Walker will see him later, per-

perhaps the two will meet under

thing-survival. Walker will see
him again and he shall be glad 10

silent and busy man; I was kept
busy with the lighter housework, en-
Pertaining, garden, books, friends
and nursery. Every day had its
duties and problems, and its small
pleasures. Jim and ! had plans for
every weekend, and a three-weeks
camping trip every summer. We
left the boys with his mother, but
were planning to take them with us
when they were older.
'This was the picture when ! fell
in love with a man who had recently
come to the neighborhood. For one
year our friendship was confined to
secret meetings, wistful talks, and
the exchange Of many notes. Then
Jim went away for some weeks,
and during that time Douglas and
I became much too intimate.
II make no excuses for myself,
except to say that / had never in
my life before experienced such alb
sorption in any emotion; it was
whirlwind, earthquake, tidal wave,
anything you like, as long as you
understand that I completely lost
command Of myself.
Lover Was Married.
douglas was also married, but
childless, and living apart from the
wife. He applied for a divorce at
once, but settlements could not be
reached and there was long delay.
/ went to my father and stepmoth-
er, but was unhappy there, and
Douglas and I went to another town
and set up housekeeping together.
All this time I was intensely nerv-
Gus; uncertain and wretched about
everything except the supreme real
ity Of our love for each other.
'My little boys went to their
grandmother, and Jim never op-
posed my coming to see them, but
it was stiff, unnatural sort of meet
ing and gave me more pain than
pleasure. The smaller one was
quite i'll and sometimes I went to
sit with him and read to him, but
he always wanted me to stay and
could not stay. They were natural
ly never allowed to come to me.
Rather than give his wife the
control she demanded of his fortune,
Douglas continued to refuse her
divorce terms, and for two years
we wandered about in a Fools Para
disc, telling each other that our love
in itself was all that mattered. But
it came to me gradually that he was
making no plans for our marriage,
and about a year ago he suggested
my having a little apartment of
my own, as he was obliged to travel
a great deal on defense business.
Since we made this change I have
neither seen him nor heard from
him.
