to hers.

"You remained there some little time
and when you turned away. you stopped
to look back, and in doing SO you lait
your hand-this one-"she touchee
Margie's slender left hand. on which
shone Archer Trevlyn's betrothal ring
-"on the gate post. Do you remem-

"Yes, remember it."
"And while 1t rested there-while
your eyes were turned away. that hanu
was touched-by something soft, ana
warm, and sentient-too warm, too pas
sionate, to be the kiss of disembodied
soul. Living human lips, that scorched
into your flesh. and thrilled you as
nothing else ever had the power to
thrill you!"
Margie trembled convulsively, her col
or came and went, and she clasped and
unclasped her hands with nervous agi-
tation.
Am not speaking the truth?"
Eyes, yes-go on. I am listening"
"Was there, in all the world, at that
time, more than one person whose kiss
had the power to thrill you as that kiss
thrilled you? Answer me, Margie Har-
rlson!'
81 will not! You have no right to
ask mew she replied, passionately.
at is useless to attempt disguise, Mar
gle. can read your very thoughts.
At the moment you felt that touch. you
knew instinctively who was near you.
You felt and acknowledged the presence
OF one who has no right to be kissing
the hand of another mans promised
wife. And yet the forbidden sin Of
that person was sweet to you. You
stopped and pressed your lips where his
had been! Whose?"
II do not know-indeed, do not!
Why do you torture me so. Alexan-
drine?"
my poor child, l will say no more.
Good night, Margie. l trust you will
have pleasant eve.ing with Mr.. Trev-

Margie caught the flowing skirt Of
Miss Lees dress.
"You shall tell me all! must know.
l have heard too much to be kept in ig-
norance of the remainder"
so be It. You shall hear all. You
know that Archer Trevlyn was in the
graveyard or near 1t. that night. though
you might not see him. Yet you were
sure Of his presence"
~ was not! tell you, was not"
she cried fercely. II saw no one: not
person."
Then, II you were not sure Of his
presence, you loved some other; else
why did you put your lips where those
of stranger had been? In that case
you were doubly false!
Margie's cheeks were crimson with
shame. She covered her face with her
hands, and was silent.
How many can you love at once,
Margie Harrison?"
"Alexandrinc. you are cruel!-cruel!
Is 1t not enough for you to tell me the
truth, without torturing me thus?"

know what we want, and it is not gold

saying anything TO encourage the

vention here will give us half chance
if it will not bind the party to the
gold power, we can carry Kansas

if they do there will not be forty
