"That is very strange," mused her mother, moving slowly toward her and holding out her hand for the note; but Ruth thrust the papers into her pocket. "It is to me, Mamma; you do not care for second hand love letters, do you?" she asked, assuming a desperate gayety. "There is nothing strange about it; he often leaves like this."

UIS ARNOLD, San Francisco, Cal.: Have been delayed by my cough. Feeling too weak to travel alone. Come if you can. JULES LEVICE. Her limbs shook as she sat; her teeth chattered; for one minute she turned sick and faint. Under the telegram Arnold had written:-- Am sure it is nothing. He has never been ill, and is more frightened than a more experienced person would be. There is no need to alarm your mother unnecessarily, so say nothing till you hear from me. Shall wire you as soon as I arrive, which will be to-morrow night. LOUIS. How could she refrain from telling her mother? She felt suddenly weak and powerless. O God, good God, her heart cried, only make him well! The sound of the library door closing made her spring to her feet; her mother stood regarding her. “What is it, Ruth?” she asked. “Nothing,” she cried, her voice breaking despite her effort to be calm,--“nothing at all. Louis has just sent me word that he had to leave town this evening, and says not to wait dinner for him.”  RENO JANUARY TWENTY SEVENTH EIGHTEEN EIGHTY LOUIS ARNOLD SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA I'VE BEEN DELAYED BY MY COUGH FEELING TOO WEAK TO TRAVEL ALONE COME IF YOU CAN RULES LET US HER LIMBS SHOOK AS SHE SAT HER TEETH CHATTERED FOR ONE MINUTE SHE TURNED SICK AND FAINT UNDER THE TELEGRAM ARNOLD HAD WRITTEN I'M SURE IT IS NOTHING HE HAS NEVER BEEN ILL AND IS MORE FRIGHTENED THAN A MORE EXPERIENCED PERSON WOULD BE THERE IS NO NEED TO ALARM YOUR MOTHER UNNECESSARILY SO SAY NOTHING TILL YOU HEAR FROM ME SHALL WIRE YOU AS SOON AS I ARRIVE WHICH WILL BE TO MORROW NIGHT HOW COULD SHE REFRAIN FROM TELLING HER MOTHER SHE SUDDENLY FELT WEAK AND POWERLESS OH GOD GOOD GOD HER HEART CRIED ONLY MAKE HIM WELL THE SOUND OF THE LIBRARY DOOR CLOSING MADE HER SPRING TO HER FEET HER MOTHER STOOD REGARDING HER WHAT IS IT RUTH SHE ASKED NOTHING SHE CRIED HER VOICE BREAKING DESPITE HER EFFORT TO BE CALM NOTHING AT ALL LOUIS JUST SENT ME WORD THAT HE HAD TO LEAVE TOWN THIS EVENING AND SAYS NOT TO WAIT DINNER FOR HIM
