(Copyright, 1916, by the MoClure Newspaper Syndicate) There have been many awaken ingd in my life. Some of them have been painfully real, while others By Frances Walter. sim trembled on the verge of un- certainty, the state between an ab- solute arousing and coma.. 1 have been pained often and I have been pleased often. But on that morning when I made the determination which I bad hoped would give Ar- thur a true inkling of my feeling for "him, I suffered the most cruel awak- ening of all, and the most ardent pain. I was in the dining room a long time before Arthur came down. I was exuberant. It was a beautiful morning. The carpet and the west wall were bathed in a shaft of sun- | light and the pretty decorations Ar- thur bad provided gleamed and glis- tened as if they, like I, were happy. 1 superintended the setting of the table and had some carnations which had been in our living room the night before put into a long vase and set in the centre of the table. It hap- pened that the cook had ordered African melon and Arthur loved it. I had it properly chilied for him, and, when he called down to me that he was coming, I had it served. He came down. He was radiant. At first 1 saw nothing but his big smile and the beautiful gleam in his handsome eyes. But he seemed to hurry, and I asked him the reason. I wanted to keep him with me that morning, I felt I could never give him up. "I must be at the office," he an- swered. "I want to find what work there is to do and get away." "I did not know there was to be anything special to-day," 1 said. "You did not tell me of an engage- ment." | He has never been outwardly un- kind. I do not believe that even at this day, when the edge of our friendship has been worn by contact, he would consciously say anything to hurt me.

His statement of our arrangement was correct, and what cquld I do? I loved him and he was going from me! Yet he had never been mine There had never been love between us, and there was love now only in me. I was mad with the pain of it. The room swam before me.
