Let us go home to 'own." she said suddenly. "I am so tired of roaming in thls out Of the way place, Wilfred, and there Is still SO much going on, l hear. You must have got lots of Ideas now. am sure" She laughed glee- fully as she spoke. The murmur of the streets seemed already In her ears, and the Hash of silks and jewels came over the sunlight on the grass.
 He paused a moment. "win you not come on a little farthery" he asked kindly. yet a little wlstfully. There are some lovely places In the dale. and you would be interested In them, l think"

 They had reached the lych gate now, and a girl was entering 1t from the oth' CT side. where their carrlage-hls wlfe's carriage-wlth les beautiful bays, stood waiting. The sunlight fell on her quiet black gown and her soft hair as she passed under the quaint oaken struc- turc. and then she lifted her eyes, and sudden light flashed Into them and then died very gently again.

 "YcS. we win go tomorrow" he said when th, girl had answered that she never went Co town now. Her father was old aud needed her care. and she was quite content with her life in the still countryside.
 "I have him. and he has me-" she said. with her peaceful smile. and the laughing woman before her could not guess and would never have realized that th!s gentle faced girl had loved thc man beside her with all her heart and soul and had passed through The deep waters alone with her sorrow Co take up her lie again brayely anG we'll
 And t1cn one of the beautiful horses clailcd ,hc pretty wife's attention. and she went hurr.cdly on. leaving the two together for brief moment ln the sunshine of the old gate.
