not seeing the board at all for a minute
it was merely a confused mist-he only
saw Valerie and heard the cry of his own
heart in answer to her words: Heaven

But he quickly rallied, and forced him
self to closer attention, and, by few mas

Are there any plans, for this afternoon"
he asked, presently.

"No one like you; but Mrs. Dudley can
do fair distance. Westbrook and Dallas;
Travers not much; Nellie won't walk in

Valerie laughed.
''She calls four miles long distance"

The girls heart beat fast. For the last
week or more Beauregard had almost
avoided her, and now this twice he sought
her sOciety-for the chess-game and for the
walk; and in both cases he had carried the
day-in the first by a coup dc main, in the
second she could not possibly refuse with
out making refusal much more marked
than acceptance.
