His face flushed . little ct her words,

strength and beauty. How did Il

and, drawingit throughhis arm, turned
toward the beach. As he did SO he
found himself facing Md Tremaine
and Laura Lovel, who we're coming
in from the moonlight, and hesnoticed
that the young mans face was quite
white, while there was q half scorn-
full smile on the lips OF the fair
belle of the seaside. But the two cou-
pies passedeach other in silence, the one
going down to the stretch Of glittering
sand, the other going in to the dancers.
A week later, and Mollie had just
come in from o long hour, peaceful and
calm, spent with Lee in quiet nook
among the rocks that overhung thu
ocean. He had been re,lding to her
there some of the sweetest poems given
to the world by genius. Her heart had
thrilled rs he read, and new, strange
feelings had stirred il. When he closed
the book he had looked up and found
her eyes filled with tears. Andnowinhex

thoughts turn constantly, not to Ned

What was changing in her life? When
