spring in my veins.

CHAPTER VII.

This premature declaration of feel
ings which | had sworn to myself TO
suppress was brought about partly by
the spring fever aforesaid, partly by II
youthful and eXctable temperament
and partly by the encouraging words of
Mark Gerard that same afternoon.
Upon his own confession he had antici-
pated some such explosion; and l was
not the man to balll his fancy.
81 thought my companion faltered,
"that you were in love with another
woman-the goddess"
"You are the goddess" said, fervent-
ly. "And | began to worship at your
shrine the very moment we met"
"Oh!"
you seem surprised. If you had
fallen in love with me, Nancy, that
would indeed have been surprising; but
that l should fall in love with you is
the most natural thing in the world"
"You must fall out of it again." she
answered, gravely.
"Never!"
"Mr. Livingston, 1 say you must.
Please don't be ridiculous"
81 can't help it," l replied. "You
would make craven image love-
sick"
And we were such good friends"
she murmured.
81 don't want to press you" con
tinued
II should hope not" she returned,
her absurd sense of the ludicrous up
permost, as usual. "Mr, Livingston, I'll
try and forget this--this indiscretion.
I've no love TO give you. It's better to
be frank, isn't it? Don't frown, and
don't sullS. You are such a nice boy"
"Boy!" l calculated. 81 am 20. Do
you know that Valerus Corvus was con-
sui at 90? Boy, indeed"
"You provoke me, Mr.. Livingston.
Let's suppose for an instant that /
could return this love of yours; are
Won in position to support wife?"
Il swear could support o dozen
upon the terms you mention. Your love
would SPUR me to Titanic efforts"

deductions in regard to this affair diff
fered materially from those of honest
jap | could not believe that De-
metrius had willfully set rolling the
shock of hay. If he had concealed him
self in the barn for some specific pur-
pose, would he court detection for the
sake of playing prank or to crafty
personal spite? Hardly. The hay,
badly piled and undermined, had obeyed
the laws of gravitation. Possibly in the
ardor of eavesdropping the Greek had
displaced the shock unwittingly. He
had studied the habits of Jap and his
best girl" and, wishing to learn the
exact condition of affairs in the house,
had turned his knowledge of sociology
to good account. Very Shiny, as Jap OBJ
served. An Anglo-Saxon blessed with
the Greeks upbringing would have
secuted such methods, but the secretive
nature of Demetrius, stimulated by ter
ror of Burlington, accounted satisfac-
torily for everything. The fellow was
an out-and-out poltroon.
Mark Gerard dined alone with Nancy
and me. He was in no mood to talk,
and gulped down his dinner in gloomy
silence. Since we parted in the stable

said, mockingly. Truly, the iend of
mischief possessed her.
"Nancy." | cried. cut to the quick by
her scornful words, "why are you so
cruel? Is a mans love so small thing
that you can afford to fling it aside?"
Her mood suddenly changed, and,
hating, she confronted me with flash

Good night"
She walked away, leaving me abashed
and speechless.

a fool"
Having registered myself among the
vast majority of my fellows, trudged
moodily towards the island. My
thoughts followed Nancy, but my foot
steps pointed in the opposite direction

for reflection. Was | destined to love
this fair woman and leave her? Nor

third shout the door of the hut opened

She listened attentively to my crude
response, softer light suffusing her
fine eyes. The thought struck me that
both of us, she as we'll as |, had taken
life too lightly and needed the discipline
of reflection. To me personally things
in general had begun TO assume strange
proportions; some of my mountains
dwindled to mole hills, and vice versa;
substance melted into shadow; the ideal
absorbed the real. The process is often
rapid, and, like a trip across the English
channel, most upsetting.
