Ellie‘s there was no letter from Curtiss and then ‘beâ€" gan a series of days when my main purpose in life was to watch and wait for© some word from: him reâ€" questing my return. . A great deal of my time was spent: alone, in spite of Ellie and Carmen constantly urgâ€" ing me to accompany them to some festive affair. I never knew before how utterly lonesome one could be in a city as friendly. to its strangers as New York. Often when returning from a matinee or a concert at, Aeoâ€" lian Hall it seemed to me that each one I passed walked briskly and with some purpose in sight. I found myâ€" self picturing romances about each figure as it hurried thru the gatherâ€" ing dark and was faintly jealous of the chop girls who chatted with bright, excited faces about "Tom" and "Jim." ; I had lived over each word of the once before. â€" i But, I smiled cynically, the intruâ€" sion into our happiness by this chit of a gitl. I asked myself a thousand times why Curtiss couldn‘t untangle last interview I had had with Curâ€" tiss when he begged me to have faith in his love, assuring me that everyâ€" the ‘skeins of the intricate web she had woven so skillfully about them both that it apparently held him powâ€" erless and fast. He had delcared his love for me only once during that final talk but with such Berfousness that ‘I felt there must be some exâ€" planation of the whole misérable afâ€" fair. And yet I had begun to realâ€" ize that he was too_proud to come after meâ€"or even write requesting my return after he had pleaded with me so earnestly not to come to New York and to Ellie of whom he heartily disapproved. ' t In the meantime New York was gettling itself to a hard, biting cold, and it was the season of the year when I loriged fok companionship and bright happy moments with all the unquenchable desire of youth. © Ellie had told me that I had never looked better in my life.© Just that morning she had said: "You know what old Shake said about Love, dont you, sport? ‘That ‘men have died and the worms have eaten them but not of LOVE.‘ I think it‘s the same way with you, because you‘ve never been more of a knockout than you are right now!" In spite of my heart‘s hunger I had never felt in such excellent health. More than at any time in my life I wals keeping regular hours. Walking I never ceased to find delight and each day found me covering five to six miles which never‘ failed to have an exhilarating effect. I went to bed early each night with some entertainâ€" ing book of fiction but it was not long before I was fast asleep. f in New York was a diversion in which I had begun to make a desperate effort to put Curtiss out of my life. On days when I found myself roamâ€" ing in the past I would put on my coat and hat and go out with some definite goal in sight. It was on such a day that I had gone to the Metroâ€" politan Museum where I had been studying Cellini‘s exquisite cup: of gold. As I stepped from the buildâ€" ing I caught my breath at the loveâ€" liness of the outâ€"ofâ€"doors. An early dusk had thrown its mantle over the scurrying throng and a light snow had <begun to fall.

The gods were with me because I came (directly here!" In the meantime we had moved ovâ€" er_to the enclosure made by a shop window and his words of enthusiastic interest warmed my heart. . In: the glow. of the lights I had an opporâ€" tunity to examine his face. . I had always thought of him in connection with the word ‘Byronesque‘ because there was absolute poeti¢al beauty in his face.. He had changed but slightâ€" ly, possibly the only difference being a trace of shadows under his flashing eyes, which were almost black, and seemed more serious, more grownâ€"up â€"a trifle more mature., f "Ellie was good enough to invite i. d o dud obuducotiedetigetrur ..

I asked hoping that she had not told him all. "Just enough to let me know that you‘re not happy, and by Jove, Sailie, this thing has got to stop!" he veâ€" hementlyâ€" declared. â€" "Thank God I came to America when I did. I would not have, I don‘t suppose, if it hadn‘t been for Lemoyneâ€"â€"" "Oh, Barry," I interrupted, "is Leâ€" moyne here too? How wonderful! Whereâ€"is she?" _ 2. i "At the Plaza with friends," he reâ€" plied, and I noticed that his voice was not as buoyant as it had been before we mentioned Lemoyne. "She‘s singâ€" ing marvelously these days," he finâ€" ally said, "her manager wanted her to have a series of concerts here and since sheâ€"would only consent on conâ€" dition that I would be cher accompâ€" anist and also take part on the proâ€" gram with some instrumental things, I decided to come along.
