years. But it was different now. The
shock had come, the blow had fallen.
She had yielded to the overwhelming
effects, but she would not falter again.
"Why do you cry" she asked, rising
to a sitting posture and gently but
firmly disengaging the clinging arms
around her neck. at is my father, not

Erna's tears ceased to flow. She
bethought herself suddenly of the stu
alton: Lisle, habited as a man, believ-
ing herself to be one, sitting upon the
edge of the dsmaptled bed; Erna upon
her knees before her, scantily clad,
with her disheveled hair like spun gold
distributing its mazes over her bare
shoulders and upon the trousered knees
of her companion; the morning sun
streaming in through the window, gild-
ing the scene with glory, bestowing its
warm approval upon a scene before
which an uniformed beholder would
have recoiled in dismay. The girl who
believed herself to be man, profound
ly ignorant that such things as conven-
tional proprieties existed, realized moth
ing unusual in the situation. The girl
who had been taught to observe them
with religious care realized it's absurd
ity.
Her face b1ushed scarlet. Her eyes
danced with unbidden mirth, and n
smile crept stealthily to her lips and
softened and parted them while it glis-
tened upon the moisture in her eyes
like a sunburst kissing the sea. She
started to her feet and took q step or
two backward, and Lisle, being free,
also rose. Thus they stood facing each
other, and Lisle, for the first time, dis
covered that her flannel shirt was open.
She did not blush. The circumstance
affected her only as it would have af-
fected child.

asked wonderingly. did l swoon?

Isle walked to the window and look
ed out upon the new day, striving hard
to keep down the tears that rose I'M
hidden to her eyes. 1t was struggle,
but she conquered. Presently she turn
ed and retraced her steps to Erna.
"You wish to talk with me" she
said. Every well. After l have seen

She darted away before Lisle could
reply, was gone a moment and return
ed.
"You may go to the room where your
father is" she said Papa is there.
After that wait for me at the front
door. Then we will go to the grove to-
gether."
Lisle left her to her toilet and went
slowly toward the chamber where re-
posed the still form of Richard Max
well. Mr.. Thomas was there and two
of the servants also. They stood re-
spectfully aside when Isle entered
