But after all it would not be we'll
TO go away with bitterness in his heart.
She must understand that, though
Fate had spoken and an eternal sep
aration must be-that it was his unal-
terable determination that it should
be-yet he would be faithful TO her
memory. He would release her
formally from her engagement-yery
formally. She should understand,
yet he would place an icy barrier be-
fore her-and then he would bid her
farewell forever. Perhaps a letter
would be the best way.
No. Letters were only letters, la
bic to miseonstruetion, and there
should be no mistaking his firm in
tention.
Yet it might be put better in writ
ing.
But then there was always the
danger of a letter falling into the
hands of third party. The old man
might open it. Just as well TO call
tomorrow evening.
Where was the sense of putting it
off? If it had to be done it might
just as well be done at once.
Perciyal put on his coat and went
out.
Perhaps ten minutes had elapsed
since the eternal farewell had been
spoken, and the young man and the
girl were seated on the sofa talking it
over. They were not yet separated
far from it.
"You might just as well have given
me another" he said, plaintively.
"Then all this misery would have
been avoided"
81 had given you enough-more
than enough" she answered.
Enough for you, perhaps"
"Now, don't begin again, Percival.
You know papa was getting awfully
impatient. And one wouldn't have
satisfied you anyway. l don't want
to give you SO many that you won't
care for them"
''Try. Give me one now
She gave it to him. Presently he
said: "And you'll give me another
lock of your hair?"
"You don't deserve it," she replied,
'but / suppose I'll have to."-Chi-
