Mrs. Milgrim wonld certainly prepare a place for her guest Marcia thought comfortably as she gazed from the window of her compart ment. It was as she éxpected. Mrs. grim received her with open arms The old house hald welcome for her in every nook, and Marcia, rising from a restful night's slumber. began to tecl old associations and contacts twining their influence about her. “1 suppose you Ar at they call a successful woman.” Mrs. Milgrim said as they sat chatting. She looked through her hair. Marcia smiled. Hard to tell this country woman of what her success consisted—French clothes, an expen sive apartment, a maid. trips abroad, plenty of press notice, and all earned by her slender hands—no, by some rare cell within her brain which moti- vated those siender hands. A genius, thote who heard her play called her. “l guess maybe you're more than that even: vou're a famous woman,” went on Mrs. Milgrim. Marcia's lips grew grave “I've worked for what I have got,” she said. “Yes, I can see that.” Mrs. Milgrim studied the dark, interesting face be. fore her. She did not exactly like the way Marcia did her black hair, plas- tered down on her forehead till it lcoked like wet paint, but she had got used to rouge and powder. As for that drees Marcia was wearing, it was pretty if it was odd. can see you've worked hard, Marcia,” she resumed. “You show it in your face. And you're a mite nervous. Still, you haven't changed as much as 1'd expected. I was telling Jenny Bates I didn’t know hew I'd find you—that makes me think. Jenny wants us to come over to supper tonight.” Her calm old vo'ce anded in a question. “let's go by all means’ Marcia laughed after the slightest hesitatiol Later as she dressed for .Jenny' supper party she stood at the windo juet outside. How strange it seemed to be going to Jenny's—after all these What should Lionel do when Well, ars! it was going to be nough to admit to herself that she had come back to Woodbank because che wanted to see Lionel Gale again. Sometimes in her busy life she had stopped long enough to be sorry for him, married to dull liitle Jenny after having loved her. For he had loved her as no man had ever loved her. It had taken years for her to appreciate the quality of that boyish passion.

But there was love in hie eves as they dwelt upon Jenny— a love and something more, a rever ence that is the only true accompani- ment of love. Marcia sighed.
