weariness　and　exhaustion；　because　of　his　will　fastened　upon　her；

as　he　lay　there　beside　her；　during　the　night。

She　realized　it　all；　and　there　came　a　momentous　pause；　a

pause　in　her　swift　running；　a　moment's　suspension　in　her　life；

when　she　was　lost。

Then　she　turned　fiercely　on　him；　and　fought　him。　He　was　not

to　do　this　to　her；　it　was　monstrous。　What　horrible　hold　did　he

want　to　have　over　her　body？　Why　did　he　want　to　drag　her　down；

and　kill　her　spirit？　Why　did　he　want　to　deny　her　spirit？　Why　did

was。　He　was　in　a　very　black　hell；　and　could　not　escape。

He　hated　her　for　what　she　said。　Did　he　not　give　her

everything；　was　she　not　everything　to　him？　And　the　shame　was　a

bitter　fire　in　him；　that　she　was　everything　to　him；　that　he　had

nothing　but　her。　And　then　that　she　should　taunt　him　with　it；

that　he　could　not　escape！　The　fire　went　black　in　his　veins。　For
