From the day of his coming Straine had interested Anne. In love with Christopher as she was, sure that she wanted him and him only, there had heen a fascination about the older man, a glamour, a touch of romance, utterly lacking in her practical young American Jover. Chris was the kind of man one loved and married, with whom one lived happily ever after, \ while Straine was the kind with whom ona indulged in an ardent flirtation. Anne had been so sure of herself in those days. “I am the master of my fate, the captain of my soul,” was her | motto, as she had ridden roughshod | over every ohstacle which intervened | hetween herself and her (‘ll‘\vrl_\'[ . planned scheme of life, confidently ex- ling pecting the fates to how to her will. | /uEN you get P *;:, i Poor Anne! | AN nd suspect tha' Without admitting to herself, Anne | listless 200 ‘o tract i had set about punishing Christopher | sluggish " Jeasant thing for his outburst of temper in connec. | thecause, it'sapea e of tion with her early-dawn visit to Dr. know that your m!
