Twice Sheila Travers grasped at Happiness and it eluded her. The man to whom she gave the love of her curly youth was hot blooded, selfish, sensual, and by a scenrt of unbridled passion during their stay at the house of. a mutual friend, disgusted the girl with the idea of marriage. The man with whom she entered into a legalized "co-partnership" union some years later was cold, ambitious, self absorbed, and the girl suffered from soul-starvation. A picture which she cherished seemed to symbolize her life an empty road, with a suggestion of something mystical, restful, satisfying, at the end. Later, Sheila met the painter of this picture, nnd with his help she found the Hidden Valley below the brow of the hill the glorious fulfillment of all her dreams.
