Chapter XXX
EVALUATION The first two years on _The Clarion_ were a desperate struggle for Yetta. But after all, struggle is the surest sign of life. To herself she seemed dead. The collapse of her romance had left a hollow place in her spirit, which could not be filled by work--not even the frenzy of work by which each issue of _The Clarion_ was achieved. But all this time life was gathering force within her, preparing to assert itself once more.
