ture Of womanly companionship tipped
the beam for Fielding. He flung the
stump Of his cigar oyer the low fence
and re-entered the house quietly so as
not to disturb the music. He was
standing close behind Harriet when his
sister struck the last notes Of the piece.
He spoke abruptly:
we will stay. Mrs. Monette. il you

Gratitude and resentment mingled
curiously in the gaze she lifted to his
face. "Why shouldn't I be-"
Sometimes ladies do change their

into her face. You wanted m to say

have liked to make it.

thought you might fall into the error
of supposing that Ledyard had left
some money taIgle behind him. So
many city men do, you know. But
he's honorable to the core, and as

Harriet put out both hands in quick

"Not at all. You had a right to in

Every trace of passion vas gone
from her face and voice. She got up

Farindale's long silent piano.
Il can't promise you it is in very
! good tune"
Miss Fielding accepted that road out
| of a very different situation and seated
herself promptly on the high stool.
MY playing is dreadful, amateurish.
Ledyard is about the only person who
can find anything nice to say of it."
And presently there foated through

ton or her lips: What does Mr..
Fielding mean by saying he left New
York Oh account Of trouble Of his

Mildred shrank back from the blunt
question in ~momentary wrath. Then
it flashed upon her: "This woman has
just offered him a salaried position.
She wants. to know something of his
trustworthiness, and she does not know
any better than to probe me-"

perfectly conscious of feeling panied
at this explanation-"that's it, is it?"

that other life" she often went to

and brighter" in there, surrounded by
well dressed worshipers, than because
OF any spiritual cravings. Doubtless she
had often heard those very words from

selves, but they had never seemed 10
mean anything at all to her until Mil
dred Fielding had spoken them, looking
out upon the very landscape that now
opened itself peacefully before her W
eyes-her landscape.
Her cornet was in her hand. She
had learned, under the Farindale dis
pensation, to leave her bed with the
coming OF the dawn. Mr.. Farindale's
first duty for the day had always been
to arouse the echoes and his laborers
with a far-reaching cornet solo. She
had kept up the practice. This morn

sion. This morning she had left her
room with an exultant sense of be-
ing a parsonage, even in the pres
ence of these two people who ex-
hailed with every breath a subtle es-
sence of refinement. Curiously enough
close upon the heels of her
tary exaltation came a sense of alb
solute abasement.
In her undisciplined soul she was
cropping for the power to estimate
things at their true value. If none
could buy everything, it could buy
respect, affection, c~herishing tender
ness. These were the things she
yearned for with an unutterable
yearning. Life had meant so little for
her heretofore. 1t had been scarce
ly nor than a battle against the pow
ers of evil, at tremendous odds. She
recalled with gratitude that she had
been some good" to her dear Farm
dales." But they were gone now
and she wanted the world to give her
back, with interest all the care and
tenderness she had lavished on them.
At the foot of the high slope up
on which the house stood a s2iritless
creek dribbled its way between two
lines Of cottonwood trees. 1t was
this dubious water course that had
made the dairy farm possible. The
clear white radiance OF the coming
day rested full upon the delicate foil
age of the cottonwood trees. Their
leaves shivered in the morning
breeze and turned glistening silvered
undersides upward. The air seemed
clearer the white day dawned more
| promising than ever before. Some
thing had come into her life. She
| could hear the pleasant song Of the
creek as it wandered past-why had
she eve before found music in it?

pleasant morning air: the song or the
creek was not as merry as 1t had been
half an hour ago; the sIiyc- sheen OF
the cottonwood's leaves no longer ap-
pealed to her eve: IF after all, they
go away-it will he worse than ever.
Maybe it would have been better II
they'd never come"
She said they bnt in her inner
most consciousness she knew she
meant him. 1t might have comforted
her to know that women older and
vastly more worldly wise than She
women who had been accustomed all
their lives to meet men OF acknowl-
edged fascinations-had been known
to yield just as suddenly and as unre-
servedly to the charm of Ledyard
Fielding's strong personality. Those
who knew him best would have re-
pudiated with hot scorn the idea that
this was due to any wiles of his own.
His manner toward women was much
more apt to be brusque than gallant
The steady level glance of his keen
gray eyes was more critical than
amorous. It fell with equal penetra-
ton upon a refractory witness and a
coquettish fine lady.
AS he walked away from Mrs. Mon
cite he was thinking of her. His was
not the nature to turn aside her ig-
norant approaches by enlightening hor
on the score of many an unsought,
unsung triumph. He was not a cad.
He was essentially a gentleman. And,
perhaps, it was to the fine flavor of q
refinement which hitherto she had not
known among the men she came in
contact with that he owed his complete
and immediate conquest Of her. If he
was not a cad, neither was he a fool,
and he had lived too long In the fur
mace heat of fashionable society life

woman's heart as IL it were a primer
lulQ OpCA AOl Ills luopCNIiOus
He was not drinking in the beauties
of nature as he tramped sturdily along
the footpath that followed the creek.
He was thinking of Mildred, Of young
Mrs. Monette and-of himself. He
took himself rigidly In hand. It was
best that they should stay. Mildred's
welfare demanded 1t. 1t was well that
he had accepted the trust so confidingly
bestowed, for he believed he could edu-
cate Mrs. Monette into a clearer bust
ness conception of her own affairs.
Over and beyond the friendly inter-
course which being under one roof and
discussing her affairs involved she was
nothing to him nor he to her. He al
most wished she might know how abso-
lutely and inexorably he was in honor
bound to another But that
knowledge not even Mildred possessed.
1t was exclusively his secret and
hers" ao
Her" stood for the sunny-faced idol
that was more firmly enshrined In his
heart than any one suspected.
Poor little woman-she shall not
suffer at my hands"
1t was not OF his sunny-faced her he
was thinking when he let those three
words poor little woman escape from
his lips. It was Of his rich employer.
At that moment Harriet was idly ln-
gering the stops OF the cornet that lay
upon her lap. She, too, was prying be-
