Evelyn was not there; but her des-
|. tination was that particular lawn and
its tea table. Turning a fresh bend
in the path he came upon her. He
had had no thought of seeing her;
yet she was coming down the path
toward him, her picture hat framed
IN the dome Of a blue parasol. He
had renowned her for all time, and
he, should greet her guardedly; but
the blood was singing in his temples
and throbbing in his finger tips at the
sight Of her.
This is too bad!" she exclaimed,
as they met. 81 hope you can come
back to the house,
She walked straight up to him and
gave HIM her hand in her quick, frank
way.
I'm sorry, but must go in to
town on this next train,'' he answered.
He turned in the path and walked
along beside her.
This happened to be one of our
scattering Gays for all except father"
We had nice talk, he and L.
Your place is charming
They descended the shore path I'M
til they came to the villa where the
tea drinkers were assembled.
Don't let me detain you. I'm sure
you were going to Join these lotus
eaters
'I don't believe they need me-" she
answered, evasively. "They seem pref
ty busy But If you're hungry-or
thirsty. 4 CAN get something for you
there" They passed the gate, walk
ing slowly along. He knew that he
ought to urge her to stop, and that he
must hurry Oh to catch his train;
but 1t was too sweet to be near her;
this was the last time and it was his
own! 4
IT seem to remember your tea
drinking ways" she said. "You use
only sugar and the hot water
| Shut that was in the winter" he
responded. He wished she had not

had been weak, just as he was prov

ing slowly into the bay. 1t was a
pretty, white plaything and they
paused and commended it's good quail
tiles with the easy certainty of super
fetal knowledge. They walked on
passing the lighthouse, and slowly
nearing the entrance to Red Gables
She led the talk easily and her light
heartedness added to his depression;
| every step he took was an error; but
he would leave her at the gate wher
they came to it and go on to the. vii
lage and his train. She paused
abruptly and looked across a meadow
which lay between them and the Rec
Gables orchard.
IT really believe it's a COW; yes, II
is a. cow" she declared, with quie
conviction.
'I thought it was a yacht. Was
as dull as that" he demanded.

CHAPTER XII.
At the Parting of the Ways.


The days that followed brought I'M
certainty and doubt to the heart and
mind Of John Saxton. He had seen
Evelyn several times before she left
home, on occasions when he went to
the house with Fenton for confer
ences with her father. He had in
tended saying good by to her, but
the Porters went hurriedly at last and
he was not sorry; it was easier that
way. But Mrs. Whipple, who was
exercising a motherly supervision over
John, had exacted a promise from
him to come to Orchard Lane during
the time that she and the general
were to be with the Porters in their
new cottage. When he went east,
Saxton settled down at his club in
Boston. and pretended that it was
good to be at home again; but he
went about with inconsistencies gnaw-
ing his heart. He had reason to be
