1t was the same evening, apd Philip Breton
was assisting Bertha into his beach wagon
for, a twilight drive.
Father has left town for a few days
Didn't you knowi Suppose you let me have
the back seat. The world is large enough to
afford us seat apiece tonight"
Berthe adjusted her wraps and the horses
stepped Off down the street as gayly as il

There was not very much conversation to-
day, indeed there never was unless Philip
afforded it. Bertha considered she did her

moody and silent So Bertha gave herself
up to the sensuous delight of riding, and only
spoke in mild EXPLANATIONS of admiration of
the scenery as they left the village behind
and followed up the winding river.
But suddenly Philip saw a mans form
swaying easily while he took great strides
along the footpath.
"Cmran,n he exclaimed, and stopped his
horses close beside him. The man turned, and
one might have thought he did not reeognize
