She had to give. She had been created a woman; she belonged to nature; she was nothing save a mother of the future. She had loved neither Glenn Kilbourne nor life itself. False education, false standards, false environment had developed her into a woman who imagined she must feed her body on the milk and honey of indulgence.
One of the little wretches wrote up on the white wall of his class-room the other day, 'Who killed his wife? Bryant, the science master, told me Kilbourne took no notice, but his face was sea-green for the rest of the morning." "He should have thrashed the whole class thrashed them within an inch of their lives!" "Well, he didn't. He did nothing." Alick dropped his voice.

He sent Lieutenant Kilbourne back to General Shafter at Siboney with a request that a fresh supply be forwarded at the earliest possible moment. General Shafter said that he had no idea where that particular kind of ammunition was to be found, and referred the applicant to Quartermaster Jacobs at Daiquiri.
He ordered a rather elaborate dinner, and then turning his attention to Carley, gave her closer scrutiny. Carley knew then that he had become acquainted with the fact of her broken engagement. It was a relief not to need to tell him. "How's that big stiff, Kilbourne?" asked Morrison, suddenly. "Is it true he got well?" "Oh yes! He's fine," replied Carley with eyes cast down.
With all due respect to your feelings that affair with Kilbourne is ended and you're not the wishy-washy heartbreak kind of a girl." "You can never tell what a woman will do," she said, somewhat coldly. "Certainly not. That's why I refuse to take no. Carley, be reasonable. You like me respect me, do you not?" "Why, of course I do!"
In the lonely darkness of her room she might have faced the truth of her strangely renewed and augmented love for Glenn Kilbourne. But she was more concerned with her happiness. She had won him back. Her presence, her love had overcome his restraint. She thrilled in the sweet consciousness of her woman's conquest. How splendid he was!
