The soft smile that played upon her husband's face was reflected on Mrs. Levice's. "Oh, Ruth," she murmured tremulously, "it will be so hard for you." This was a virtual laying down of arms, and Ruth was satisfied.

Ruth had covered her face with her hands. Mrs. Levice was softly weeping, with her eyes on Louis. Dr. Kemp had risen and stood, tall and pale, meeting Levice's eyes.
