At first Ellen could not• see, be-
cause the room was so bright after
the dark of the coeddor. She stood
very still for a moment twih her eyes
wide and blinking. She might have
been .a tiny girl awakening from her
afternoon nap. Then she saw a white,
bed, a bed that rose and fell dizzily,
because her pulses were so unsteady,
• din
because the teals werecrowding g to
her eyes.
In the bed lay Tony, with his face
white against a *nodose pillow, and
his wide open eyes bluer than ever,
and a twisted smile on his face, and
an arm tight to his side.
"Hc1_lo," said Tony weakly. "Bello,
Ellen! I'm just a rotten failure -
that's all. I can't even put over -a
good suicide.. ; ." ;
Ellen starred at him. She didn't
make any answer with words — she
just stared at him. And as she stared
there was something in her gaze that,
burned away every doubt and every
barrier and every moment of distress
that two •silly, groping young people
had ever known. She stared at him
wordlessly—just as a young Eve must
have stared at a young Adam when
she had first awakened in Paradise.
And then all at once she was flying
across the room, and had dropped on
her knees beside the bed. And her
