II went straight Off to Africa. I never

THE amount of money they have wasted

laughing. There was something decidedly

locked wonderfully pretty with her fair
head relieved against the mass of dark
shrubs behind her. A few children were

Cicely. after a little pause; through all the

Godfrey gave a long whistle.

AT Tunis I met a man who had been with
my father once. And he came hanging
about and followed us up country. but
when i grew better he had disappeared.
What a fool I have been!"
Cicely did not contradict him. and they
sat quietly without speaking for a time.
Godfrey seemed meditating deeply.

Bestowins kisses with q dainty grace.
But when We faced the f4ure-and she

She loved me- not enough to sin for me.
Another woman loved me. No dark doubt
Her heart might vanquish or her spirit
tame;
Blind with . passion that had hlotted out
In radiant happiness all thoughts Of
shame;
Through good or evil she my fate would

Proudly unmindful Of the worlds decree.
Willing for loves sweet sake all Ills to bear,
She loved me well enough to sin for me.

Cold to all others. me her great heart

Longing in secret to be but my slave.
She spent her sad. dcspairing life alone

She loved me far too well to sin for me.

Few persons were quite prepared for the
wedding which followed. 1t took place ono
morning when the woods were all arrayed
in their most gorgeous robes Of gold. The old
rector slipped out early. saying to his
daughter that he had to see Joynson, the
sexton. and in the vestry he found Godfrey
Dennis, who had walked over from Wall
heofs. Presently Mrs. Mountains brougham
drove up. and she and a clergyman-a cousin
Of Cicely's. who was staying with the lady,
who had now taken a pretty house near
Faimford, entered the church with Cicely,
who was looking rather pale.
Then the rector came out with Godfrey,
and in a few minutes the deed was done.
and Mr.. and Mrs. Godfrey Dennis drove OF
to the railway station. where a servant
with two modest trunks awaited them.

In the Poor Queens Garden.
And how came you to leave Faimfordr.
When Godfrey Dennis asked his question
he and Cicely Evershed were sitting on .
bench in the old garden. where, Q hun
dred years age. the Inflated Marie An
t~oinette was wont to play at country life
with her court ladies. The sky wal a.

and out Of the toylike cottages which stu

k~een-edged knife was 10 soon to sheer
away those beautiful heads from their fair
and slender necks.
He had seen her at the little old town Of
Faimford. in Berkshire. where b then
lived with two old aunts. He had been led
there by curiosity. having learned certain
facts from = friend-one Frank Forwood-
who had nursed him through . bad illness
In I~ndia-which caused him to conjecture
that he was closely connected with an old
family who for many generations had
owned property in that part Of England.
There was a sad and tragic story connected
with his father, and o n finding that his
presence might lead to complications In the
inheritance Of an estate. he had suddenly
withdrawn .himsel and gone away to
Africa. hoping all would 60 well In his alb
sence. Now this nance meeting had re-
vealed to him that all was not arranging
itself satisfactorily-that his presence was
much needed. He wa anxious enough to
hear all now.
He n Cicely were left alone, Fraulein

manned in the gardens Of the great palace
to see the fountains, while the other two.

had Carlyle and Macaulay. and Froude-

But your aunts-you nave not told me

They left me- she replied, and her eyes
filled with tears; dear, dear old aunties!
They both died Of Influenza within six
weeks Of each other. 1 knew when one died
that the other wouldn't be long. They had
