cial said as he unlocked the door on the
right, 1--WE have given her somewhat

prisoners. have orders to permit you a
quarter of an hour together.
He opened the door, and l went in.
With little cry of joy, Allie, who had
been sitting on sofa at the farther end,
sprang to her feet and ran reward me,
crying as she did so
"Oh, George, dear, knew you would
come to me as soon as you could. 4"
took her in my arms and kissed her
again and again; her dear eyes were
flooded with tears when l released her,
but she brushed them away and tried to
look brave for my sake. Then led her
back to the sofa and sat down beside
her.
"Alie, said softly, "this is all my

Hush !" she answered. "You must
not blame yourself. 1, too, recognized

attention to it, and it will go hard with
me if I cannot hit on something. Would
you have the courage to dare very much
for my sake, George?'
"Iwould dare anything under the sun
for you, Allie. and though you asked me
such a question do not think you feel
any doubt as to what answer would

Il had no doubt. Do not think that.
And now, George. tell me what your

Again the tears rose in Allies eyes.

rose Immediately and turned to say
goodby. Being good hearted fellow,
the man left us alone together for an
other moment, and during that time l
was able to whisper an assurance to my
sweetheart that no stone should be left
