was something tragic about her to

because he did not care sufficiently

came face to face with Ninette in the
hall. . ,
Ninette had just come in from a
walk and her pale face was a little
flushed with the keen wind, and she
carried a big bunch of shaggy brown
chrysanthemums in her arms.
Notliard went white to the lips
as their eves met: but he only said
"Good afternoon." quite formally.

He almost hated her for having aid

happy that he hardly knew what he

been a hell of torment sine Ninette
sent him away. He wondered drear

be like, when there was ho longer
the vaguest possibility of averting
