the first time, Guy saw beauty in an
other face than that Of Inez Cameron
and for the first time dull, jealous

It was month later; Mrs. Nettie
Lennox and the gay party she had
brought with her for the summer to
her old home were about to scatter
themselves in different directions.
Many an idyl had had its beginning
in those glad days of heat and sun
shine, and a few pleasant love-dreams
had died-that which Inez Cameron
had SO carelessly laughed down a
month before was in it's shroud and
coffin, and warm, living love was
stirring in every pulse Of Guy, as, in
the hush of a still evening, he and Inez
came face to face in the very spot which
once saw him plead eloquently with her
for her love.
She was rarely, dangerously lovely
as she smiled up at him, but no pulse
IN his heart stirred never so family
while he turned to walk with her.

here, Guy-right here where I was so
unkind to you some weeks ago, You
will forgive it all, will you not? /
read my own heart more clearly now,
and. I know made a sad mistake"
Her fair face was full of warm color
as she laid her hand on his arm and
whispered: "You understand me, do
you not, Guy?"
He looked just a little bit confused
under the beautiful, tender eyes.

swered. "You were not more unkind
to me than most women are under
like circumstances"
"But-but was unkind to myself"
she faltered. 81 made sad mistake,
Guy; it is not too late-if you love me
still"
Generously he interrupted her there.
II am to be your cousin some day."
he said softly, feeling as though he
was dealing a blow on the flushed
beauty OF her dainty face. "Hilda
has promised to be my wife"
"Hilda Dallas?"
There was passionate pain, incredu-
lily, wonder in the sllvery tones; "You
will marry Hilda? But you do not
love her-you who loved me a month
ago! Tell her the truth and she will
release you; she is generous"
"She is the girl love!" he uttered
sternly. "She is true and tender and
more to me than any being on earth.
Make no mistake, Miss Cameron, /

but an hour after we had parted
while yet the wound was fresh and
smarting-I knew what folly such az
lection was for me to cherish. From
woids which I overheard you say, |
was convinced that you had made no
mistake in rejecting me, but did it be-
cause Mr.. Jarvis was pleased with you
and had half a million. An hour aft
er you had spurned my love. it was
dead in my life-another pure, and
sweet, and tender stoleto me through
a door ajar, and I thank Heaven for
the gift. Miss Cameron, think some.

She forced the color back into her
face and stilled the trembling OF her
figure as slight, halting form appear.

Guy FASTENED forward, met Hilda
and drew her hand through his arm.
"My darling" he said to her, II
have seen DR.. Blank about your an
kle and he says there is surety OF
cure, if you will place yourself under
his care for half year. What will
you do my little sweetheart?"
II will do whatever you desire, dear
Guy" she answered softly, and in the
dimness of the little glen he bent and
kissed her, unmindful of the blue,
burning eyes upon him, which belong
ed to the woman who but loved when
she had lost him.
Six months later Hilda flung aside
her crutch and married Guy. Inez
married Mr.. Jarvis.
