The Injustice of her treatment, Dan's readiness to belleve itl of her without waiting to give her a chance to have a heart-to-heart explanation with him, stung poor Patsy to the quick. "Love!" she cried scornfully, “A lot you know about St. Love ts trust, an’ you're the man I banked on, an’ the first minute I puts you to the test you falls down hard.
