She covers her eyes with her hands, and tries vainly to decide on what is best for her to do. In all the books she has ever read the young woman placed in her position would not have hesitated at all.

"But she lost her husband," says Mona, gently. Her face is hidden; it is lying on her arms, and they are cast, in the utter recklessness and abandonment of her grief, across the feet of him who, only yesterday, had been her "man,"—her pride and her delight. "I do not know where I am going," he replied; "I am in trouble, but I cannot talk about it." Two people, a man and a woman, are standing together some yards from the cabin, whispering and gesticulating violently, as is "their nature to.".
