of conviction that nothing could have
intensified. So positive was it that
Chalmers was startled by it.
mo! Why? How do you know" he
asked.
* tried it."
you! Lima! You tried it?"
Eyes. You know have some money.
l went to see Mr.. Rodney as soon as
knew"
What did he say to your"
"That the law must take its course"
"But would you have given up every
thing for him? 1t would have taken all
you had"
Eyes. Why not? He is to be my hus-
band"
Then you will still marry him-after
this?'
Eyes; why not" She flashed the an
swer at him as if there could be but that
one reply. II tell you he did not mean
to do any wrong"
Chalmers took out his watch and
looked at it.
II will see Rodney myself in the
morning. 1t is too late now-and / will
see others. must have time to think
whom l need. After that l shall go and
see George. Good night, Lima"
As she took his hand at parting the
girl looked at him again confdingly.
She had put away the defensive armor
now. 1t was not needed with this man,
who avoided so carefully and chival-
rously any word or sign that could dis
tress her, that could reflect upon George,
or that could stir up memories of the
past that it were best should remain
buried. She even smiled at him hope
fully as she said good night.
"You will see me again soon," she
said.
Gust as soon as l have learned any
thing of Importance; as soon as have
decided upon anything. Some time to-
morrow at least"
at is tomorrow now," she answered,
glancing up at the long hands of the
hall clock. And then she added mean
ingly, "Time flies"
Eyes, that is the trouble with Time,"
answered Chalmers musingly. when
we want him to go quickly he limps
along like lame old man. He has been
going at that pace for me for years.
And now that l would like him to wait
little he courses like race horse"
Il suppose he cannot suit us ALL" she
said. For me time has been going so
