d。　In　one　minute　she　had　said　all　they　might　have　said　in　months；　there　was　nothing　more　to　say。　There　was　nothing　left　of　the　past　to　discuss。　Before　them　was　only　the　fact　of　that　immediate　moment；　and　the　future。

Tremblingly；　silently；　Larry　crossed　to　that　trembling；　silent　figure　in　white。　She　did　not　retreat。　Tremblingly　he　took　her　hands　and　looked　down　into　her　dark　eyes。　They　were　now　flowing　tears；　but　they　met　his　squarely；　holding　back　nothing。　The　look　in　her　eyes　answered　all　he　desired　to　know　just　then；　for　he　gathered　her　tight　into　his　arms。　Wordlessly；　but　with　a　sharp；　convulsive　sob；　she　threw　her　arms　about　his　neckand　thus　embracing；　shaken　with　sharp　sobs；　they　stood　while　the　minutes　passed；　not　a　single　word　having　been　spoken。　And　so　it　was　that　these　two；　both　children　of　the　storm；　at　last　came　together。　。　。　。

Presently　Joe　Ellison　chanced　to　step　unsuspectingly　into　the　room。　Seeing　what　he　did；　he　silently　tiptoed　out。　There　was　a　garden　chair　just　outside　his　door。　Into　this　he　sank　and　let　his　thin　face　fall　into　his　hands。　His　figure　shook　and　hot　tears　burned　through　his　fingers。　For　his　heart　told　him　that　his　great　dream　was　at　last　come　true。
