Dacrc Dalricth thought. as he stood there
in the early autumn twilight. the pink
and amber heavens looking calmly down
upon them, and the dry brown leaves fall
ing frrm the drsOla,e trees and breaking
the dead stiffness with her almost human
means.
He was staring blankly up into her face,
and wondering why nature had made her
SO wondrnusly fair-gaxing into her face,
all the vnicelcss love If his soul glowing
in his eyes. He forgot the barrier be-
tween them forgot everything save that
he love-. her better than his very soul.
AMI she was watching him AS infinitely
as h, vas watching her, and asking of
herself why his tongue did not repeat the
woris Of love that were striving vainly
for utteralice in his eyes; the words that
would place another heart in the dust at
her feet, aud allow her t. trample relent-
lessly upon it. For he was onl country

burden Of his folly.
That was what Venice Verne said to
herself as she stood there among the
stately maple trees with Dacre DaIrieth

II had forgotten" he said, brokenly.
"Ycs, God pity me, l had forgotten-for-

I'VE never find out our mistakes until
it is too la.e,' she said, with low, bitter
laugh. Your love for me was great
but not a fatal mistake. You will live
down your love, and forget it and ME.
am going home tomorrow; this is the
last hour we shall spend together; do not
let it he darkened with anger and anguish,
and let US part as friends"
He :, Sc from her feet and held out his
trembling hand toward her, but she did
not Sc, il and it fell to his side again.
"As you are going, will bear you no

what has passed between US, and bury the
memory in the grave Of my wounded
heart. As you wish il, We will part
