her like that. He loved her no more—
■'In; was sure of it—else how could he
have done as he did? 1‘erhaps there
f-v. as someone else? Now that- she came
to think of it, he had acted sort of
queer the past few days, as if he had
keen trying tn hide something from

would juiek up a few things and go
home to her folks before lie got hack
from tin- office; pgr Imps tilery when he

would realize how cruel lie had been.
