She imagined him tearing it open in the hall of Dr. Sargeant home, eagerly, because he loved her letters, anticipating in the envelope which bore her a momentary release from work which was, to him, uninteresting and exacting. Sitting on the park bench, she tortured herself by watching his expression change, seeing the brightness fade out of his face, his lips quiver with pain, the agony in his eyes . . . Im going to marry Todd, very soon, by the time you receive this, But she wasnt going to perhaps marry Todd, not very soon, not even as long as John lived and loved her, as long as she loved him with this aching intensity that throbbed with every throbbing beat of her heart. She was not going to marry Todd. That was settled the night she and Kate had arrived at the cabin, when John came in and she had watched his expression change from brusque inquiry to astonishment, to the soft and joyous radiance that had shone in his eyes. But why shouldnt she marry Todd? She loved him dearly, in quite a different way. But wasnt that hand-writin- enclosed It in an enve-Pe- , found a stamp.

One of them stumbled and caught at her to keep from falling. Dark eyes looked up at her from a thin dark face. Her heart gave a lurch. She smiled and started to speak, but the child raced on, beyond her, out of her reach. CHAPTER XVI hAge, running breathlessly, excitedly, to a cab. to Maine, to John.

When she turned, she saw the letter, a cream-colore- d oblong on dark desk pad. She returned to the desk, stood for an instant holding the letter in her hand, then, moving swiftly and quietly, went out of the room. The night doorman spoke to her at the entrance of the apartment Im going to mail a letter, she said. Shall I mail it fo you? he asked. No, thank you. Must be mighty important letter, he said, with a drowsy grin. Very important, William." She went out through the door he held open for her into the quiet street There was a mailbox at the corner. Her high narrow heels clicked on the concrete pavement The air was balmy and smeUed of the river. The sky was sown thickly with stars. The letter made no sound falling into the box, but the click of the lid against the slot when her hand released it startled her as though a shot had been fired through the night. Walking back to the apartment house, saying good-nigto the doorman, going up in the lift, she marveled at her composure. Whenever, during the last three months, she had thought of making a clean break with John, she had anticipated the pain it would give her. Now that she had written and posted the letter, she felt only a sense of relief. Had she gotten over it without being conscious of the process? she wondered as she prepared for bed. Nothing in the mechanical movements involved in writing and posting the letter had shaken her except the click of the mailbox lid. Her hand, as she brushed her hair, was Her face, in the mirror steady. above the dressing-table- , was composed, thin as it had been all spring, the cheek bones accented, shadows under her eyes. No hint of the shattering emotion she had anticipated. She felt more tranquil than she had for months, physicaUy weary, as though she could sleep forever. She lay beneath a light coverlet In the soft narrow bed, her arms crossed beneath her head, looking up at the disk of light that the lamp printed upon the ceiling. At some time, during the past three months, had she stopped loving John? No, not that But had she accepted the inevitable? Had she been recovering aU these weeks since she had returned from Maine? Had the decision she had avoided, finaUy made, brought tranquillity rather than the pain she had anticipated? She didnt know. She felt sleepy, blissfully released from tension and strain. She turned, pulled the lamp cord. Darkness pressed against her closed eyelids, heavy and soft, blotting out objects, smothering thought, quieting as an opiate, blessedly welcome. Her hand, moving to an accustomed position beneath her cheek felt heavy. She sighed, murmured and was asleep. tAAAAA C.Such places as old city warehouses, factories, breweries, hotels and churches provide housing for more than 40,000,000 chickens in tiers of individual cages equipped with feed, water and troughs.
