And this is love, as l hear tell.
Yet what is love, l prithee say?

1t is December matched with Nav.
When lusty bloodS in fresh array
Hear ten months after of the play;
And this is love, as l hear say.
Yet what is love, good shepherd. sain ?
1t is sunshine mixed with rain.
1t is toothache or like pain.
1t is game where none hath gain:
The lass saith no, yet would full

And this is love, as 1 hear sain.
Yet, shepherd, what is love. l pray
1t is a yes, it is nay,
A pretty kind of sporting fay.
1t is thing will soon away,
Then, nymphs, take vantage while
We may;
And this is love, as l hear say.
Yet what is love, good shepherd, show?
A thing that creeps, it cannot go,
A prize that passeth to and fro,
A thing for one, a thing for more.
And he that proves shall find it 50:
And, shepherd, this is love. l trow

Nadine
'tOh, Madeline, how can your" sighed
Constance.
1t was too much. Madeline turned
upon her cousin with a vehemence
which astonished the listeners.

mean? You may we'll ask it. l have
kept silence too long. Now I think
the time has come for me to speak

ing her hands and looking with an ex-
preston Of quite angelic pity at the
younger girl. IF you can tell us
everything, at least without injuring
others-or breaking promises -
Her eyes were upon Madeline's face
She saw the glow of life and resolution
go out: Madeline's sensitive lips were
firmly set, her face very white. She
had remembered her promise to Con-
stance and she could not speak without
breaking it. She had promised to let
no one know Of the relations between
Rene de Marsac and Constance. How
then could she accuse Constance of ad-
hitting Rene to the house without
breaking her word?
Madeline's sense of honor VAS very
strong. very delicate. Just as when
she was mere child she had preferred
to be beaten and scolded rather than
do dishonorable thing; so now she
resolved to bear any misrepresentation,
any pain to herself, rather than betray
trust. But she did not vet know
what she was to be called upon to
bear

L had hoped that you had profited by
the great kindness you have always re-
ceived. But it seems that you are in

traits repeat themselves in YOU"
Please say what you have to say
without abiding to my father" said
Madeline, steadily.
You were seen here last night"
Madellne's indignant denial passed
ucheeded.
1.-TWO persons saw you and asked
what you were doing here. You re-
fused to reply. Was that not suspi-
cious in itself?"
L was in the corridor because |
thought I heard noises" said Madeline,
breathlessly.
1T is easy to say so. You were seen
in the garden also, wrapped in your
cloak-with the hood"

She resolved to wait and watch a
little while longer, but fully AN hour
went by before Rene appeared again.
And then he was not alone.
A light figure walked beside him,
wrapped in a dark cloak and hood, so
arranged that the face could not be
seen. Madeline leaned from the win
dow, and looked with a puzzled sense
o. recognition. She could not see the
face and it was impossible to distin-
guish the lines of the fgure-yet there
was something which she seemed to
know. Was it the cloak? Yes, surely.
1t was exactly like one of her own
one with which Miss Joyce had pro-
vided her, when she had been Obliged
to go out in all weathers twice week
to take a music lesson. And Miss
JOyce-thoughtful old soul-had insist
ed on Madeline's taking it with her to
Hurst, although it was not very pretty
and had seen it's best days.
Madeline watched the couple out of
sight and then turned instinctively to
her wardrobe. Yes, the waterproof
cloak was gone. Constance must have
borrowed tiff it was Construction
this midnight expedition of hers-and
where on earth had Constance gone?
And when would she be back again ?
How, too, had she obtained the cloak?
Had she snatched it from its nail as
she left Madeline's room that very
night?

Suddenly he heard a loud laugh.
One Of the workmon whose duty it
was to take out the ashes and start the
fire, had come up behind him and now
said, johingly

The other man laughed more than
ever.
1T must have been a pretty good

didn't jump the track. The front
wheels were full of hair l cleaned
the whole thing and dragged away the

A CIGARETTE FIEND
How the Author Of "Trilbv'' Nearly
Lost His Eyesight.

Lost His Eyesight
G. Du Maurier is the son of a small
renter, whose income was derived
from the glass works at Aniou. His
mother was an Englishwoman. Du
Mdurler was born in France, lived in
Belgium for a time and when still
a boy Du Maurier longed to become a
musician, but, although he sings well.
his voice has been ruined by excessive
consumption of cigarettes, says the
New York Recorder. In spite of his
inclination George Du Maurier was
brought up by his parents with the
idea of adopting science as a profess
sion. On the death of mis- father the
boy decided to follow the art, however.
One day, when drawing from a model.
the girls head suddenly appeared to
shrink to the size of a walnut. He
clasped his hand over his left eye 1t
had failed him. He was thunderstruck.
Notwithstanding the assurance of
doctor that the affection would pass,
the eyesigtht did not improve. Du
Maurier lived in constant dread of
blindness. This was the most tragic
event of his life. After time he once
more moved to London. From the out
set success waited upon him. His first
drawings for Punch were not good. but
they were accepted. Later in his life
he married and now has two sons. one
in the army and the other on the stage.
People often wonder whether the jokes
that appear under Du Maurier's draw
ings are MS own. This is true of the
larger part of them. For the rest they
are sent in from various sources and
turned and twisted about until they
come into shape. He takes infinite
trouble with his sketches and draws
and redraws them many times.
