Mamie, with her little winning air and
looking lovingly at her sweetheart.

CHAPTER VIII.

Mamie sat quite still in her hidden
corner, looking out at the glorious ocean
expanse, aromatic perfumes Of rare
shrubs all about her, heavy hearted in

py, for she felt the impending parting
with Willie intensely, felt, too, with a
woman child's pathetic instinct. that it
would mean much more to her than to
him. Suddenly at the end OF glade.

herself concealed from them, there ap-
peared two fgures-a man and woman
and even before she recognized one Of
them q sense that she was the locker on

human souls seized her, and breathless,
Mortified, she sat gazing at the scene en-
acted in dumb show (for they were quite
out Of earshot) before her eyes
Praying, e1cusing, denouncing. each
gesture stamped redhot with tho over
mastering emotion Of the moment, the
woman, clinging to his hand, his gar

with the man, who held her from him,
rage, horror and disgust painting them
selves suooessively on his pale face.
When he spoke, it was in the ferocst
invective, in deepest denunoiation, and
yet Mamie somehow ipstinctively knew
that this man had loved this woman,

Mamie realized what che had but half
grasped before-that this was Hagar.
Hngar! Whom Will had hated;
whom he was beginning to like even as
his prejudices against her vanished one
by one, and in moment he would be
here-would see her.

caught her in his arms, to his very great
alarm, though the reason as partly dis

Gus human passion with the ineffable
loveliness Of nature that they had come

Il was the hour Of siesta. In the
schoolroom the girls, languid with sum-
mer heat, lolled at such ease as their
uneasy chairs permitted, and one OF
them, her head in the lap Of her great
est friend, seemed fast asleep. Even
then Hagar did not cease the gentle
stroking Of the girls eyelids that had
produced such swift slumber, but pres
emily she stretched her long arms as one
sitting for air and freedom, and, as usu-
al, knocked over some trife on d table
near her.
"You re in luck" said q girl whose
every feature was beautiful, yet who
managed to achieve plainness, as not
one Of those features harmonized. "You
