that portion Of it where his daughter
walked with innocent feet amid the
roses and the therns of youth. He be-
held young Mr.. Rowan, and not with
out a certain approval. but he was In
no hurry to have him fo- a son-ir-law.
So the judge issued an injunction re-
stralning his daughter and NJ. Rowan
from considering themselves engaged.
He ruled that no contract existed be-
tween them nor could exist Cor n period
Of two years. The Prior family was
going abroad in the fall and would
spend at least Is months ana perhaps
"a in foreign lands.
Rowan stated that this fact was al
ready known to him: tina; he would be
quite satisfied to be engaged to Miss
Prior meanwhile and would not insist
upon marrying her inn. ediately. But
the Judge would not grant nor even
consider this plea. Instead he peremr-
torily adjourned the hearing for two
years.
The result of this was panic. Cou-
pied with some hint OF Mrs. Prior's
preparation for social %conquests
abroad, II bred in Rowan's excited
mind the conviction that Prudence was
to be taken over seas to be the prey Of
some disso.ute and bankrupt noble. Out

secret marriage. and Prudence was be-
guiled into acquiescence 10y such argu-

The plan was simplicity Itself. They
were merely to skip across lots In the

He stepped toward the door, while
Rowan. with his eye on the umbrella in

prospect of deliverance. He saw for a

To see them all gathering there In the

been ugly, crawling caterpillars, dragging

creatures came floating and fingered by
the willow until the gray dawn began to
creep slowly up over the purple hilltops.
