hope she needed, and with all her might she intended to set herself to
the task of winning back her position in his regard.
She was not logical. Had she been, she must have accepted the
alternative of freedom offered her, and, on a liberal allowance,
betaken herself to some selfish, worldly life which might have appealed

loved this man as she now knew better than ever she loved him. She was
not logical, but she had courage. It was the same courage which had
driven her to fight for that which she had desired years ago. She was
going to fight now. And again it was for selfish motives. Only this
time they took the form of the love of the man she| had married.
She set to work from the very start. Her attractions she knew were
great. Jeff must be made to realize them. He must be made to realize
all a woman could mean in this life which was theirs. She would
unobtrusively study his interests to the last degree. His position in
the ranching world would give her ample scope in this.
