He rose from | his knees trembling. She was sorry for | him—as women are under such circumstances—but she had (one the best she could. In a few brief moments he re- | covered his speech. His lips quivered, | but he was bound to say something. | “What shall I do!” he moaned.

I | am completely worn out.” | Her face was ablaze and her eyes | snapped. Then she became ccld and cruel. “You would better have yourself { upholstered,” she replied in a steely voice and swept out of the room.—Des troit Free Press.
