Just a kindly gesture which she
had been mora than ready to mis
Interpret. Evelyn told her a great deal
about Stephen, too, whom ahe had
known since childhood, speaking
of him with warm admiration.
"There Is not a finer mind Any
where than Stephen's," she said.
"I hope you appreciate what a
treasure you've married. And I'm
sure he must love you very
much!"
Diana felt like a traitor, but
Evalyn attributed her confused
reply to the natural reticence of
a bride. Diana wondered what
Evalyn would think a few short,
weeks hence when she learned of
the divorce that Stephen would
arrange.
It was late when ahe rose to CO.
"I want you to come here when
ever you can," Evalyn said. "I
like you. Diana, and I want you

OUT OUR WAY
By J. R. Williams
OUR BOARDING HOUSE, with Major Hoopla
A drinking glass was used only
by the wealthy In ancient times.
ton Square which enclosed
lovely park. The big Curt resi
dence in Green street was only
five blocks away and Diana
walked the distance, reveling in
the crisp air and thin winter sun
shine. On the morning after her inso
: lent outburst, Adela had come to
Diana's room wearing a disarm
ing air of meekness. In quite
the most polite tones she had ever
used to Diana, she begged her
pardon humbly for her behavior
of the night before.
Diana, genuinely surprised and
touched, assured the unhappy girl
, she had quite forgotten the Inci
dent After Adela left the room,
spurred by a sudden generous im
pulse, Diana ran after her to
ask her to attend a matinee with
her that afternoon. Perhaps, she
thought If she exerted herself a
little more, she and Adela might
be friends after all.
But In the upper hallway, she
; stopped short, halted by voices
' coming up clearly from below. In
the stillness of mid-morning Ste
1 phen's voice said, "Did you apolo
gize to Diana as I told you to?"
Adela laughed unpleasantly.
. "Of course! I told her I was
. veddy, veddy sorry for my ugly
' behavior! That I would be a good
; girl in the future. I would have
lied twice as much to keep from
having my allowance cut!"
Diana turned slowly back to
' her room. It was, after all, quite
-useless to try to make Adela her
friend. And in the future she
would know better than to trust
Adela under any circumstances!
She was thinking of these
things as she approached Evalyn
Thorpe's house. Remembering,
I too, Richard's words, "Stephen
(has always been madly in love
twith my wife!"
TT was this remark that closed
Diana's lips when she wanted
to ask Stephen to tell her more of
Evalyn. It had seemed like in
truding into the privacy of a
shrine, a sanctuary. If he really
(loved Evalyn, she could not blame
Bum, for she was certainly the
a imost beautiful person she had
asver known; but Stephen's lips
(remained closed the night Diana
bad mentioned the blind girl to
Slim. She dwelt upon his words,
"There is no one whom I care to
snake my wife literally." Easy
. to understand, if his heart was in
' (the keeping of Evalyn Thorpe.
She wondered a great deal
about when and how the estate
(Stephen was to Inherit was being
(settled. Stephen had told her
pothing regarding it Had the ad

(his marriage as genuine and was

stretched hands. Her face was
' eagerly alight and Diana was
- struck anew with her beauty.
"You're late. I was afraid you'd
forgotten," Evalyn said, clasping
Diana's hands warmly.
"But you must know I couldn't
forget," Diana assured her eager
ly. "I've been looking forward
!to this moment ever since you
lasked me."
"You're Sweet." Evalvn amMorl
"I knew you would be. Sit down.
We're to spend the day quite
alone, and I shall do evm-vthino-
in my power to keep you from
being bored!"
As the day wore nn. niana n
that she could happily snend tho
h-est of her life in this woman's
company, tier conversation was
gay, charming and interestine-; hor
Ibusy fingers flew over a knitted

pichard Thorpe and his many flna
tiuiiiiiies jjiana icit a little
tashamed that she had despised
him so. In spite of everything,
Richard began to take on a glow
of respectability. Surely ahe had
misjudged him. But she had never

Diana's eyes blurred. "As If the
privilege weren't all on my side!
This has been one of the happiest
days I have ever known. I thank
you for it"
"I'm glad," Evalyn smiled, her
soft sightless brown eyes shining.
All the way home Diana was
aglow with the warmth of the
blind woman's friendship. What
did it matter if Adela were rude
and unkind, as long as she bad
Evalyn?
Still in this exalted mood, she
reached the Curt home. Larkin
