She loves F ome one else Some other man has all the truth of her soul -always has, and always will have-but she cannot; forget the one who turned from her and went his way and came no more. She is glad when she hears of his success, grieved when she knows that he has suffered j and when some day she hears that he is marriedshe who has herself been married long years perhaps ; she who, at all events, wouid never, have married him—is she glad then ? Ido not know. A woman's heart is a very strange thing. I do not believe she knows herself. Grlad ? Oh, yes ; and is his wife pretty and nice ? And then she says to herself that he has quite forgotten.' and ' that, of course is best,' and cries a little.
