We can just live our best every day and wait to see further. Sometimes things get twisted wrong." “What is the matter? What Is twist ed wrong, Miss Floyd?” She shook her head, smiling across her shoulders at him. "Nothing—nothing but me. Only I feel disgustingly gloomy to-night; as If Jes and I were very far apart. Never mind, I wish you all good luck and victory for the race.” “What was that song you were slng- Ing on the first day I came bere?" he asked Irrelevantly.

He drew a breath of anticipated exhilaration; this was the ground where he and Floyd stood closest in understanding and where Jessica could never come. But he wished that she had not looked so strangely grave and wistful, that evening. It troubled him.
