had refused to acknowledge it, even
to herself. She had tried to hold
him off, yet keep him, too. She
knew now how unfair she had been.
Somehow, she had to make it up
to Dave. That she could love him
in return was something this rig id
! thing in her heart would not perm it
| her to consider. She had frozen
| herself into a mold so long ago. She
could not alter the form of what
she must be to herself, but with
that sureness came an overwhelm
ing loneliness. She had dedicated
herself to a memory, to a ghost,
and it was like being chained to an
unanswering tomb. The dreadful
part was that there was always
that secret feeling of menace about
that tomb.
" I'm a fo o l!” she said aloud,
sharply, snatching her hands down
and jerking her body erect.

Spang was nowhere about when
she went down, but she knew that
this small and continually crowded
hotel was the town rendezvous for
all the officers and men at the field.
So she went into the dining-room

dinner, not looking around, ignoring
the groups of jaunty lads in khaki
who "turned on her bright, direct |
glances.
