CHAPTER V. EVOLUTION. FROM the moment Magrane had revealed to him the complication in which he and Dorothy were involved, Trescotte’s first thought had been for her. His own position he did not think of, not even of the distress and deep grief their separation would entail. That such separation would be the inevita- ble and immediate result of the revelation to Dorothy, he was certain. This conclusion was not so much the result of his estimate of Dorothy’s character as it was of his own training and education, and his instant recognition of the influences of education, training, and association upon all girls of Dorothy’s ilk and rank in the social world. It is true that Trescotte had no fixed ideas upon the subject; that he had never given thought to questions of relations of the sexes. So, when this social problem was suddenly presented to him, in which he was a factor himself, he took the views already made for him and applied them to its solu tion, so far as they would go. Dorothy was not his wife; girls in the walk of life of Dorothy do not live with men who are not their husbands; there. fore, Dorothy would not continue to live with him. sa “ COMICMHOOOKS.CO
