lean to him with entreaty and beg him
to stay, but she added only, "And going
alone, Mr.. Malvern?''
But she did not wait for him to answer.
The thought of his leaving her SO easily
made her flush red, and, slipping off her
tiny, sparkling engagement ring, she
handed it to him.
There" she said, 81 release you.
COP Z.
He took it in silence. haughtily, but with
grief and rage and with sensation as
though all the life within him had broken
to pieces. He did not dare to say
"Goodby." He did not dare to speak.
One glance only they exchanged, and in
the eyes of each the fire Of war and the
light of peace mingled, contending. Then
he withdrew toward the door and paused
there moment with an involuntary
gesture, half despair, half struggling
hope, but Leila had turned partly away,
with her hand resting unsteadily on the
chair nearest her, and if she felt his hest
tation or his gesture she did not show it.
The sunlight beyond her still slanted
across the pale garden, but there was no
responding bird song in the house. He
closed the door noiselessly as he passed
out.
Where does this climate Of the mind
come from that holds us in its grasp as
firmly, that sways and overcomes us as
unpityingly, as the elements without,
with fierce changes of heat and cold,
flood and drought of storm that rends our
tenderest sentiments and deals misery on
those we love best? The strangest thing
about this mental meteorology of ours is
that we ourselves often seem to create
and hurl those very storms that SO clutch
us and devastate our hearts.
The wreck had come to them, SO NAL
vern and Leila thought, and from with
in themselves, though neither had de-
sired 1t. For him all life and color pass
ed out Of the day and left it like that
withered leaf which he picked up on the
path homeward. faded and with only q
blush of remembered joy upon it. Why,
he wondered now, why had he not been
impulsive enough to obey the whisper
of the leaf, which had seemed almost
to be conxing him to turn back to Leila :?
But how was it meanwhile with her?
Left alone, she wept without restraint.
She threw herself upon the couch and
buried her face. Again, wringing her
hands, she paced the room, but out Of
her grief there sprang q sudden hope.
She had been wrong; she knew it. At
least she had been the first to be wrong,
and she would forgive Dick now for be-
Ing in the wrong afterward. Impulsive-
" she unclasped the gold chain from

When daylight came again, he was con-
WINGED he had been wise in so doing, for
the morning brought nothing to alter the
situation-no word from Leila, no sight
of her, 10 pretext for going to her and
discovering that the awful thing of the
afternoon before = the breaking and
estrangement-was dreary delusion, to
be banished and replaced by joy. Nal
vern was always inclined to reason Sc
verely, briefly and decisively in important
matters, which is sometimes a mistake
IN matters that are not only, important,
but also vital. In this case also he was
under the serious disadvantage of reason
ing without the most important link of
all, the circumstance of Leila's having
written to him. Life and fact and acct
dent are sometimes slow in explaining
themselves. Leila's letter simply did not
arrive. She could not know that, and he
did not even know of its existence. ~
Surely" he argued, .'if she were ever
going to acknowledge her hastiness and
her mistake she would do it now. With
such girl 1t is now or never, and If it
it not now then she will die before she
will bend"
He waited until afternoon-no mes
sage, no sign. Everything was in readi-
ness for his departure, but he waited.
Once or twice he thought fancifully Of
the dead leaf which had followed him
and of its whispered monition; What if
he had gone back when 1t came to
him, though it meant nothing, and had
resolutely, yaliantly, made one last effort
to set everything right?
Bah! He shuddered at the thought Of
what failure would have been then-a
tragedy, followed by a fasco as an after
piece!
The carriage drove up at last, and his
trunk was put on.
Mother" he said, turning briskly to
her and to his sister Janet, 'before
take the train my resignation will have
gone to Mr.. Grey"

were ready to totter against each other.
Malvern continued: II shall not go
back to him. Everything is over in that
quarter"
"In mercy's name, what is the mat
ter" Janet began. What has hap
| pened?"
he took her aside and told her gently
in brief whisper,
"Oh, don't go this way, Dickw she
begged. "If you will only wait, we sure
" can set it right. II you would let
me-
"There! That is just what want to
avoid, Janet" he interposed-"a dis
cussion, any raking of the fire. 1t
sscorches enough already" He clasped
his mother with an affectionate ,goodby,
saying: Il shall write to you both soon,
and meanwhile, mother and Janet, re-
member my dignity while I'm gone. Try
| not to be angry with her, but perhaps
1t would be best not to see the Greys.n
Indeed we won't!" cried his sister
warmly 1--WE shall not 60 near them,
and can't help butsbe angry-for you"
THANK you, dear, though I'm sorry"
said Dick.
He kissed them once again. The driver
leaped up to the box. There was turn
Of the wheels, flicker of light dust. For
moment Dicks familiar figure in gray
! travelling coat and soft hat nodded and
waved to them from the window, and
then the farewell was over.
When Malvern saw again that street
on the outskirts Of Windbury, which had
SO long been his home, it seemed but a
short time since he had left it, yet in the
interval something more than 20 years
hac gone by.
The business offer which called him
away pportunely, he thought, at the
very moment when his engagement to
Leila had suffered wreck-proved to be
so favorable and SO full of brilliant prom
Use that he sent almost at once for his
mother and Janet to break up the old
household and join him In the city to-
ward the west to which he had gone.
From that time his life moved with the
sun westward and still westward until
with his small family fixed at last in a
luxurious home in another, newer, larger
city of which he had become an integral
part with a widening web, too, Of great

her neck and flung 1t away. Still sob
bling, she sat down at her pretty escri-
toire in the corner and wrote to NAL
vern quick, impassioned, contrite, inn
ploring note ending playfully with the
words: And don't forget the Thanks
giving dinner again, Dick. I shall wait
for you." The note finished and sealed,
she decided to intrust it to no hand but
her own. To give it to their man Saun-
ders to carry to Dicks house would be
somewhat like sharing with the butler a
sacred confidence. OF course he could
not guess anything of the confession
and the hope concealed under the en-
yelope, but Leila had feeling that her
letter was secret which had better be
borne by an impersonal agent. So,
throwing on a hooded cloak, she slipped
out from the house almost furtiyely,
tucked the missiye herself into the near
est post box and came back happier.
OF this Malvern, of course, knew moth
ing, and as he sat here in his lonely
room, brooding into the twilight over
the thing which had happened, he won
dered how it came about, why it had
happened and what it had to do with
their lives, which had seemed SO happy
few hours earlier. The scene with
Leila was like page torn out of book,
which he read and reread without I'M

story was missing.
Before their simple supper was an
nounced that evening his mother and sis
ter heard an ominous sound of his trunk
being dragged from its retirement across
the floor, the slapping and banging Of
sundry objects and the impatient steps
and movements with which an active

Inquiries when he came out-"a journey

"But how suddep"
"What! And on Thanksgiving day,
too?" added his sister.
Eyes," he said again. ut is immediate.
I shall go positively unless-well, Of
course, something might happen to keep

He was thinking that If by remote
chance any word should come from Leila
he would have to change his plan, but
against the hope Of this he steeled him
self.

commercial interests spread out around
him-little, faroE Windbury came to
seem to him in the distance of memory
like mere fragments of broken mold
from which all this large existence had
emerged.
Mrs. Malvern and her daughter had
held rigidly to his desire while they re-
manned there Of having no further inter-
course with the Greys. The breach made
was abrupt and complete. If Leila won
dered at his swift action or was tortured
by his silence and abandonment, she gave
the two women no way of knowing it,
and the tenor of rumor was that she had
been glad to break off the affair so easily.
Nevertheless in all these rapid and busy
years no report of her marriage had
come to Malvern. He thought it natural
enough that IL she had been married he
should not hear of it, for they had grown
to be as far apart as though they lived in
different sky worlds.
Once, quite by accident, for he had little
to do with poetry now, he came upon the
old book in which was hidden the faded
leaf that recorded the day of their final
parting. 1t futtered out from among the
pages, and with sudden impatience he
was on the point of throwing it into his
wastebasket when the mere singularity
of its having been preserved SO long
through all the changes and movings of
his career staid his hand. A voice seem
ed to murmur distinctly into his ear,
Given dend things have life."
He had felt very sure the old love was
dead-so sure that he seldom gave it even
the artificial vitality of thinking about it.
Gould it be possible that there was still
any spark Of it smoldering down there
in his heart? Why did he feel something
like an affectionate association with the
faded leaf? His life should be rich
enough now to do without the company
of tattered, dingy memories. 1t was re-
plete with interests, with wealth, luxury
and the excitement Of great practical un.
dertakings in which he moved as citi.
zen of weight and influence.
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1899-11-23

He, too, remained unwedded. II he
had been asked why, he would very like
ly have said that he was too much and
too well occupied to make room for any
thing SO absorbing and SO uncertain as
marriage. How could it be supposed that
he had avoided matrimony from loyalty
to Leila since she had discarded him 80
capriciously, and he would not admit to
himself that any sentiment even bound
him to her? Yet at the bottom of his
mind he felt certain pride in the fact
that he was still single, as though he
We're man of one deep affection, which,
being broken, could never be replaced.
At times, too, though far apart, in the
stretches of night hours or in lonely
places, the rustic Of the dead leaf would
come to him unaware, mysteriously, and
seem again to call him back to Leila.
But, il all this meant anything, why
had he never made inquiry about her or
resolutely set about discovering what had
become of her, whether she had lived in
sorrow or joy and whether she had UNI
dergone any change Of feeling toward
him? Or, IL there was fate in it at all,
why had not that fate ever drawn them
together again, IL only for once?
One day he was in Washington, with
time enough at his disposal to go through
some of the great department buildings
of the government as sightseer, some
thing he had never done systematically
in any Of his hurried visits to the capt.
tai. In the evening he dined with q
friend of not very long standing, an Of
fetal in the department of the interior,
who was inclined to be hospitable to SO
important man as Richard Malvern.
As they sat before an embrasure fire Of
wood in the library after dinner, with
their cigars, conversation turned lazily,
as beitted their leisure, upon the enor-
nous work of the government machinery.
