But she was too far In the slough of deception now to be able to extricate herself, Passionate let- ters passed between them, and she poured out all her longing and all her love to this lover who, unknowing whence the letters came, could never be hers. “He Is so serious,” pouted Doris one day. “And he talks of such heavy things! They make my head ache. And 1 have to pretend to understand ~bhecause of this silly plot, Why did you ever let me Into it, Elizabeth?" This was Elizabeth's thanks, She smiled : she could afford to smile, for she knew from Charlle’s letters that she held his heart absolutely, al- though he never dreamed of it. But that night she prayed for his sake that he might not marry Derls, The prayer seemed to be strangely answered. For the next week Doris came to her, after a longer Interval than usual. She sat down at her feet and began patting her hand, “What is it, Doris?’ asked Eliza- h. “I don't love Charlle,” Doris see Doris burst was all a mistake, 1 have man I love, and he loves me, So you will not have any more of those horrid letters to write.

You know, you got me into this trouble, Elizabeth, and 3 you must get me out— you must!” Elizabeth sat down that night with a heavy heart and wrote to Charlle, Doris was going home; she loved an- other; he must forget and never write to her nor try to see her again, She did not sleep that night, and went to work with a heavy heart next out.
