Richard hurried after them before
long, his whole heart aglow. That
awful minute had taught him that life
without Agatha Travers would seem n
poor and worthless thing, were she a
factory girl. He hurried after them,
therefore, and came in sight of the Rec
tory gate as two hands unclasped over
it, and small dark head raised itself
swiftly from II brown study, where 1t
seemed TO have been resting.
Good gracious was all Richard
could utter, rs Agatha vanished and

then, was it quite correct conduct for a
young girl?
And Capt. Hardwicke's manner, so
abrupt and dictatorial; he seemed to
show her the difference in social posi-
ton between a nobleman's nephew and
n hospital nurse. 1t must have been an
awkward meeting as his sisters had
said. And then a cold SILVER came over
him rs he thought of Miss Travers in
troduced as Mrs. Richard Allerdyce al
Belmont Castle, and Capt. Hardwicke' S
stony stare of surprise. And yet-and
yet-she was so beautiful.
Nearly three weeks had passed since
the dog episode, and Richards course
still wavered in the balance. He had
grown to know Miss Travers well in
those three weeks, and TO know her
well was but to love her better. There
never was woman so sweet and clever
so sympathetic, so beautiful-he was
certain of that; no one he more ardently
longed to have for his wife; and yet!
That terrible strength of character, that
profession, that total lack of pedigree!
Only last night, in the moonlit garden
of the Rectory, he had almost flung all
prudence to the winds, she had been Sc
dangerously, fatally sweet (she was al
ways especially kind to him), but he
reeled back from the gulf just in time
when she mentioned casually, without
a change of voice or countenance, that
she had an uncle who was chemist in
Rochestes. Richard recoiled again as
he thought of it, and fancied Hard
wIcke's look if he could have heard her.
For Capt. Hardwick was still at the
white Hart" and perhaps his pres
ence, and the atmosphere of exalted so
ciety about him, had been one of Rich
ards restraining though unconscious
influence.
Now as he slowly worked his way up
the steepest hill in the neigborhood on
his new tricycle., he was bordering the
old question in his mind. Could he
take the fatal punge, or was it too
costlyp
A trim, graceful figure on the road
before him, as at last he gained the
summit, drove all else to the four
winds; and in a moment he had over
taken the object of his cogitations, and
sprung to the ground beside her.
"Dlr Allerdyce! how like ghost you
stole upon me! Oh. see, it was tri-
cycle, and what beauty! Do let me
look at it!'' she said, turning to shake
hands.
And Richard. nothing 10th, began to
display his new toy-a perfect thing in
build and fnish-the Allerdyces' posses
sions always were the most perfect of
their kind.

before his eyes, and his knees knocked
together as he stood.
On, on-faster, faster! She managed
to hold to the steering handle, and keep
the machine in the middle of the road;
but the mad pace grew more desperate.
She could never turn that fatal corner
by the railway embankment; over it
she must 90. And it was just then that
Richard and she both together saw the
puff of snow white smoke from the
hillside, that told them that the evening
express was out of the tunnel, and
laundering down that very bit of line.
1t all flashed over Agatha in one
rush; would the fall kill her or would it
be the tramp 1t must be one or the
other; the next second or two would
settle that. A swift prayer was on her
lips, but what she never quite knew, for
even as she breathed it, some one or
something in brown tweed knicker-
bockers hurled itself over the road side
stile before her, stout stick darted
into the flying wheel, and with one quick
swerve the tricycle. crashed into the
ditch, and lay there, a confused mass of
spinning spokcs and mutilated tires.
while Agatha flew out from its midst
like a ball, and alighted on grassy
bank yard or two away; and the ex-
press rushed past with n wild yell on
the line just below, and vanished round
sharp curve that matched the curve
above it.
Then, and then alone, did Richards
legs regain their power of motion. and
he set off as fast as they could carry
him to where the little black figure lay.
Somehow it took longer To run down
that hill than the last descent would
have led one to think, for when Richard,
painting and breathless, reached the
scene of the accident, the little black fig
ure, very much out of its usual trim
neatness, was seated on the grassy tan
gle that broke her fall, busly binding
up with her own small handkerchief
deep cash in the hand of the knicker-
bockered person who knelt at her side.

Richards, with the sort of awe that any
human being must wear that has Just

his shortcomings. If the exact and par
ticular biography of every man ac-
counted great was written without at
tempt at gloriication or extenuation, we
should find that he was only a poor and
feeble mortal, after all, and that what
was attributed to him as his alone was
largely the contribution of others who
had lent themselves for his building up,
or of whose abilities he had taken ad-
vantage. We should find that we had
been worshipping a creature of our own
