And then for two weeks he en-

by asking to be taught cards.
He swept the gamut of all the
senses without reserve, day after
day, and night after night.
At the end of two weeks he
found himself haunting the post
office oftener, with a vague sense
of impending calamity.
"The things all over tell you!,'
he said to himself again and again.
Aud then he would hurry to the
next mail as eagerly as ever. AS
the excitement began to tire him,
the sense of longing for her face,
and voice, and the touch of her
hand became intolerable.
