IN, tne mystery Of eternal darkness, Lns
effulgence of everlasting Light, the
depths of the inferno, the heights Of the
empyrean, the illusions of specufation
and the glory of revelation. All things
finite, some things infinite, are ours, and
we enter upon our heritage untraxa-
meled save by such limitations OF time
and space as even the divine within as,
the power Of thought itself, may not al
together lay aside.
How changed is this when, instead OF
the friend of our heart, the woman OF
our love is beside us! Tranquility van
ishes with the smoke in which we may
not indulge; thought contracts, intensi-
fes, individualizes our solution becomes
a crystal. Even the thought of her. IN
aided by visible presence. is destructive
to that piece of mind and inactivity Of
conscience so necessary to the full en-
joyment of profound or idle specuaa-
ton. One thought dominates all thought.
and love is the nebula of a new world.
So Dan Stewart sat on the porch Of
the small house across the ravine and
thought of Mrs. Beverley, and failed OF
appreciation of his environment and OPP
portunity, and woefully failed of deriE-
ing enjoyment from either. In good
sooth Dan was more than commonly
troubled, and his conscience was as rest
less as bird whose nest is threatened.
His love for Mrs. Beverley for, like a
straightforward gentleman, he acknowi-
edged to himself that he was in love
with her, and very much in love with
her besides) had been thing Of such
gradual development that it was only
latterly that he had come to full knowl-
edge of its existence and its strength.
A word, a glance, the chance touch Of
her hand, an infection Of her sweet
voice-who knows how such knowledge
comes? Suffice it that it had come: the
scales had fallen and revealed passion
grown to mans estate-imperious insist
emit, powerful.

Lounging in comfortable armchair

light of the August moon. inhaling the
breath of the mountains and speculat-
ing dreamily over the illusions of moon
light and mist and evening shadows,
with pipe and quiet conscience, and
the friend of your heart beside you, is a
situation that to most minds suggests
possibilities of enjoyment, with dis
course, tranquil, grave, congenial, or
better still, the silence of perfect COM
partnership and soft yielding to the
subtle enchantment of moonlight and
tobacco. AS the smoke rises from the
bowl or floats in tender wreaths from
the lips how limitless become the bounds
of thought, how infinite grows its power!

ooh, Tny dear, my dear, forgive men'
The new house progressed but slowly.
There were delays upon delays, such as
are known only to the builder who must
get most of his material from dis
lance. By the middle of August the
walls We're up half way of the second
story: then the supply of bricks became
exhausted, and Anthony, having tele-
graphed in vain to the contractor, went
down to Richmond himself to investi-
gate the causes of delay. ..
Mary's guests were to leave her the
following week to join her parents at
Capon Springs, where Miss Cornelia was
also. Dan had come over by himself to
spend the evening, because it was lone
ly in the house across the ravine without
Anthony" he said. He sat in large
armchair beside the center table, and
the light from the lamps fell full on his
ruddy locks and made them glow and
glitter. Little Ran, who was rarely alb
sent from his side, was perched on the
arm of the chair, with his small bare
feet on Dams knee. Suddenly he put up
his hand to his friends head. "How

"just like Goals of fire. | could make
believe it burned me-"
Hush, RAM said Mary quickly;
"you must not be rude, my child"

and drew him closer. Listen" he said
softly, land I'll tell you about it. Long

he turned himself so that hts face see6
tOtodrd the opposite side OF the raptne.
What should he do about it, Man
hood as well as passion demanded that
no time be lost in making the disclosure
and in seeking happiness, or at least the
negative comfort of definite conclusion.
Dan had little thought of himself in the
matter or of the downfall of his hopes,
which was quite within the IA. sc Of
possibility. He thought himself IN
worthy of his love, as every man whose
love is thing Of value must, for nobil-
ity of love is twin born with humility.
and he resolved in an honest, manly
way that should he prosper in his wse-
ing he would endeavor in all after hfe
to decrease that unworthiness. He
thought also that Mary must be aware
of the state of his mind toward her,
since woman's intuition in such matters
is keener than mans; but he longed to
give them both the certainty of spoken
words, and to put the issue at once int
her hands, where it belonged. To Dan
the meanness of indefinite giving was
impossible; what he conceived in intea-
ton he substantiated in deed and abided
the result as gentleman should.
The trouble therefore was not Mary
at least not the present trouble. The
element of discord which marred the
harmony of the present and the antici-
pations of the future was Ned Anthony.
His friend, who was now his rival, had
never confided to him his later love, ner
even limited at its existence, but Dams
nature was too sympathetic not to have
made the discovery speedily for himself.
He had not invited Ned's confidence as
on another subject he would have done.
and had it been offered he would have
shrunk from and evaded it. But all the
same he knew of the existence of An
thongs love for Mary Beverley, just as
he suspected at times that Anthony was
beginning to be aware of his own pas
sion.
Had she been in truth the "littls
Mary" of the story he had listened to
and grown tender and sympathetic over
out in the lonely canyon, with the stars
overhead and the camp fire smoldering
down to bed of embers, and the walls
of darkness and solitude shutting them
into a sanctuary of confidence, Dams
course would have been as plain a.
though signboarded at every step. He
must have gone away at once, leaving
