AS for her, one could not be sure
whether her manner of indifference
was born of GOODNESS or whether the
rigidity of her features was a mere
mask, concealing emotion racing fleet
through all the courses of her young
blood, but of which her femininity
would not permit betrayal.
She leaned back in seeming languor
among the down cushions his fore
thought had provided for her comfort
and save that her white and nssome
fingers played increasingly with the
red and white striped cords which
moved the toy til1er of the little boat,
she did not move. Only when now and
again she raised the downcast lashes
which curtained her dark eyes did this
impatient foccillation cease. Then the
nervous picking of her madonna fin
gers would grow still and her deep
glance would rest full and unhinching-

her. There was in this glance, so
proud and high and free, something
which subtly, indescribably thrilled

But she too sank to her seat and was
still. The fog grew denser. Now a
swift rush of wind rippled the water
and stirred the tiny craft uneasily.

A third time he spoke her name. There

figure upward as one who has formed
a great resolve
