He had been obliged to stop school and go to work obtained work in a distant city where she had lost track of him. Judith ob- served that he now had the bearing of one who had succeeded, and she felt glad as she remembered his early struggles.

At last, only a few of the more venturesome spirits decided to brave the rain. The major- ity preferred to remain. A little later, as Judith lay in her berth listening to the patter of the rain, the strangeness of it all kept her awake. She was glad that Frank had not gome to a hotel; the knowledge that he was still on the train brought A sense of protection and made it scem iess ionely.

As the afternoon slipped away, a si- lence settled over them, and they sat very still, both absorbed in their own thoughts. Judith glanced out of the window. Already, they were passing the stock yards, which mark the ap- proach into the city. As she realized the journey was over and soon their ways would divide, a wave of great loneliness swept over her, At last she realized that Leedford was speaking her name, but his voice seemed to come from a long distance. “Judith,” he repeated, and his eyes rested on her ringless hands, “perhaps 1 have no right to ask; but for old time's sake, will you tell me if your marriage to Barlow is to take place in the spring?” “Neither then, nor ever,” she replied with a baMing smile. —you 2re free?
