"Do you wish me to remain with yo'
| because you have learned to love m
presence"
1t was very embarrassing position
for him. All depended upon his con-
a, vincing the goddess of his dawning
love, and yet for the life of him, he
could not force out the requisite tender
ness: his imagination was unequal to
the task.
Another and more creditable feeling
helped to tie his tongue-a sense of
shame at employing such subterfuge
in order to betray the goddess into the
lawless hands of these house breakers.
, However. she must be induced to stay
| by some means.
| "Well," he said sheepishly, "you
don't give me chance to love you, if
you go wandering out every evening do
you?"
She gave low cry of triumph. at
| has come" she exclaimed. What are
clouds of incense, flowers and homage
to this? Be of good heart, | will stay,
Leander. Fear not, but speak the pas
sion which consumes you"
He became alarmed. He was anxious
not to commit himself. and yet employ
the time until the burglars might be ex-
pected.
"The fact is, he confessed. ait hasn't
gone so far as that yet-it'S beginning:
all it wants is time. you know: time, and
being let alone"
"All Time will be before us. when
once your lips have pronounced the
words of surrender, and our spirits are
transported together to the enchanted
isle. "
You talk about me going over to
this isle-this Cyprus, he said: but
it is a long journey and | can't afford
it. How You come and go | don't
know. but I've not been brought up to
it myself. | cant flash across like
telegram"
Trust all to me. " she said: ais not
your love strong enough for that?"
Not quite yet" he answered: its
coming on. Only, you see.it's a serious
step to take and | naturally wish to
feel my way. | declare, the more | gaze
upon thc-the elegant form and figure
which see before me the stronger and
the more irresistible comes over me Il
burning desire to think the whole thing
carefully over And if You only allowed
me Il little longer to gaze l'vc no time
to myself except in the evenings don't
think it would be long before this al
fair reached a amy tcrmiuation-I don't
indeed"
"Gazc. then" she said. smiling: gaze
to your souls content"
II mean no offense, he represented,
having felt his way to 4 stroke of
supreme cunning. but when feel

He hardly dared to hone that so lame

with her. Int. as he had Dreviouslv
