She staggered, regnined her footing on the polished floor P.taggered again and, recoiling toward the pedestal of the statue, fell. It was an accident, the mere miscalculation of his iron strength, but as she reeled and went down Trafford thrilled with a sense of satisfaction. The very brutality of the act was an assuagement to the pain of his outraged adoration. At the turning of the stairway be glanced down at her as she lay. Let her lie! She was the one being In the world against whose blow he had no power of defense, and she had struck him. He passed on to his room and rang for his secretary. Two minutes later he was dictating letters on business. It was partly the instinct for work, partly the impulse to seek refuge in the commonplace from this upheaval in his affections. He had not reached the point of considering the sitmation in its practical \ight, practical man though he was. All he could think of now. all there was room for in his big intelligence. was the fact that his little girl, the one creature on earth whom he loved with an idolatrous tender ness, had taken a step which, as she must have known beforehand, would create a cruel breach between them. No matter how it turned out now, the fact that she had done it would be there, ® She. too. in her room, was thinking in the name strain of him.. When he had thrust her from him the action had taken her by surprise. Not even when she fell did she seize its full significance. It was. only when she caught bis merciless glance as he pass- ed up the stairway that she under stoed the extent of the indignity he had put upon her, For a second or two she lay guite still She pressed her cheek on cold polished wood, drinking in her humiliation. Whén she dragged her cn ber cheeks, while in ber soft ey there was a light that made them curiously like her father's.. As she marches upstairs her head was high and her step firm, with a determina- tion altogether mew to her. It came over her then that she coxld never be again the clinging. dependent Paula did in the end, she koew that outside herself there would be mo stay sure enough to lean on.
