happy memory, Lit her eyes. "You
may realize with a shock, after your
first meeting with her, that you have
outraged the conventions and barred
your soul to a woman that you never
heard of before, but there's splendid
shamelessness about it," In her smile
there was the sweetness that had been
his Waterloo. Her hand closed over
his. There was q sudden wistfulness
in her face, as she said: "And if you
never find her, Jack, life must go on
and on without her" In q fash she
was gone.
Young Mason lay quite still. His
eyes were fixed on the wood for, down
its painted aisle lighted by beech trees
like gigantic lanterns, with sweet, wet
eyes downcast, and lips a-quiver, his
princess, all unconscious of the happi.
ness that was so soon to overtake her,
walked slowly.
The hush of twilight fell on the
world. The great spaces above were
filed with colorless clouds that sud.
denly, wave on wave, blushed pink as
the heart of seashell. Young Mason,
awaiting mans delayed greeting:
choked back the sob in his throat-he
was only boy, remember, and with
brave eyes smiled down into the wood,
now enchanted.

In the Painted
Woods
tcopyrlsat. lss1, BY Aathosp syndioets.l

VOUNG MASON, who lay on the
couch in the portico, ground his
teeth. it was about the only thing
that he could do, and cursed the road
che horse, the accident that held him
. prisoner in this dense Wilderness
prisoner bandaged and shorn of his
strength.
Az the days passed his evil star
rose slowly to the zenith. The per.
fume Of the vanished summer was in
the fern-bed that grew knee-deep be-
yond the porch; the maple. branches
glowed red as rubies; the beech trees
tllumined the woods, and from behind
. fallen log near by Bob White sent
his clear, exultant call. He clinched
his hands and groaned. To be free
once more! To walk through the
sweet-scented fern, gun cooked, eyes
alert-since the time of the Pharaohs,
It seemed, he had been chained to the
cot.
His evil star, that had reached the
zenith. dropped suddenly below the
horizon and the atmosphere was food
ed with light Of celestial, rosy hue.
She was his sisters friend, she told
him, as she stood on the porch, tall,
distinguished girl; she had heard Of
his accident, they were camped only
. half-mile away; she had come hop
ing she might, if ever so slightly, re-
ieve the tedium Of his days.
He had heard Of her social triumphs
her beauty; he had heard that men
raved over her, although they said she
had no soul, and in this sweet, friend
" way she had come to him in his
hour of need.
After that afternoon there was al
ways look Of expectancy in young
Nason's eyes turned toward the bril-
liant forest. He blessed the accident
that held him willing prisoner.
The cushions on which he was
propped were hers, the books were
hers. She came each afternoon. She
laughed with him, talked to him, read
to him, sang sweet old-fashioned
songs while the sun, blood red, dropped
behind the mountain side, and his boy
heart swelled.
From the camp below half q dozen
men came ostensibly to inquire Of his
health, but in reality to accompany
her home, and it pleased him to see
her naughty and Indifferent to them
to him she was all tenderness, all
friendliness and womanly gentleness.
Whimsically, % is the privilege Of
sick man, 1t pleased him to think her
: princess who came through the sun
lit, painted woods, to him, an exile in
pain. There we're other fancies too
beautiful fancies.
One afternoon he watched for her,
his brows knotted with . puzzled
frown. He held IN unopened letter
addressed to her; servant had found
e in . lot Of old rubbish.
He remembered that she had been
one Of the gay party that camped in
the old farmhouse two summers be-
fore-it was there she had known his
sister, and Boyd had been Of the party.
Boyd was some ten years the senior
Of young Mason, and he was gratified
and honored by the older mans friend
ship.
There was letter In his pocket that
tool him Boyd was coming to share the
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1902-01-11

tediam Of his eonvalescence-would
be there that very night, in fact, and
the bold, firm handwriting was the
same as that on the girls letter.
When the princess came up the steps
young Mason put the letter under his
pillow, and sudden sense of pending
calamity possessed him. For little
while he would listen to her voice, have
her smile on him, and watch the ges.
lures of her hands with their odd, for
eign-looking rings. The night would
bring Boyd. And afterwards? His
mind didn't go any further.
They touched on many subjects and
he brought the conversation around
to the mountain-party that had met
under the shadow of the great hills
two summers before.
''Have you seen Boyd since his re-
turn from the west?" he asked, alb.
ruptly.
NO." said the princess. "He has
found other interests since he went
west and has dropped the old friends
but I can scarcely claim so much"
There was an odd little chill in her
voice.
"Oh," with breath Of relief, II
thought thought"
The princess threw back her head
defiantly and looked at him through
half-closed lids. "One's friends are 50
good" she said. ''They think for them
and thus simplify life" She laughed
laugh that held no heart, or much.
II was right, then" His Lips trem.
bled In way that would have gone
to her heart if she had loved him.
He drew the letter from under the
pillow and handed it to her silently.
He seemed not to see the color, warm,
joyous wave, that swept her face and
left it still and white.
When she had read the letter she
looked not at him, but at the noun
tain in front Of them purple with the
sunset mists.
"Corrinne," he said, softly.
She turned, q strange light, perhaps
the reflection of the dying day, on her
face.
Princess" he said, brokenly.
She stopped and kissed his brow.
Jack, you dear boy" she said, II
thank you" She had not questioned
his possession of the letter. "Foolish
boy" her voice was low and tender,
"he trusted our happiness to letter.
He loved me! 1t can't help things now
but to know!"
She bent and looked into the boys
eyes with eyes that held no thought
of him. "Jack, DEAR" she said, "I've
got to speak! I've stifed it so long
I've SO skillfully got up my smile to
meet the world! Jack, dear, when
your time comes, it isn't the woman
that you will be happy with, remem-

you will be unhappy. In all the world
