The idea OF years making any differ
ence to her moods or her needs seemed
rather new one to Sibylla- Evidently
she was holding 1t in her mind and
turning it over in her thoughts.
The idea was with her still as she
sat rather silent at the dinner table
that evening. They had a little party,
for all the Raymores joined them, and
young Mallam was there also, their
guest for the night. Christine was very
g-y and satirical. John watched her

talked Of the Selfords with some irony,
of poor Harriet CORTLAND, of Tom
and his children with a sympathetic
hopefulness and a touch of amuse-
ment at the importance their dear old
Suzette Blfgh was assuming and was
it seemed, to assume in the household.
Sibylla's own thoughts widened the
survey, embracing in 1t the couple
down at Old Mill House-the faithful
patient woman whose love made even
the ridiculous touching-the broken
old man who had given the best of
his life in expiation for a brief mad
ness, and now crept home to end his
days asking nothing but peace, hop
ing at best not to be despised or
Stunned. Above in his cot lay her
little son, at the other end of the
scale, at the beginning of all things;
and opposite to her was Grantley

a bad sinner, because she could not
minimize nor forget-a bad penitent,
because she could not feel remorse that
the fault had been committed, nor
humbly seek forgiveness for It It had
abided with her always-now as a
pleasure, now as a threatening danger,
as both together sometimes. Even at
this moment It was at once the cause
OF all her sorrow and her greatest SOL
ace IN the world
Yet IN the days between the end OF
her love for Caylesham and the discov-
cry which had been made by john
there had been another happiness

and strengthen It. Now, IN resent

this. But in what mood would John
come? The maintenance OF her denial
depended largely on that.
Suddenly she heard the sound OF
wheels stopping before the gate Of the
house. She sat erect and listened. The

knock at the door. She cleared her
throat 10 crV:
'Come in"
John entered and closed the door
carefully behind him: but he did not
advance toward her at once. he stood
where he was. with curious depreca-
tory smile on his face. She thought he
looked rather old and worn, and he was
shabbily dressed. as his habit was

forgotten in thought They were pick
ing up and piecing together the frag-
ments. The ruin here had not been as
utter as it had at poor Tom Court
lands where the same process was
being undertaken: but there had been
a crash. and, though the pieces. might
be joined there would be marks to
show the fracture. Yet even the men,
ory that refused to die brought its
good with it. After the ruin came the
love which had in the end sought res
toration: if the one could not be for
gotten, the other would always claim
an accompanying remembrance. From
this remembrance there might we'll
emerge the worries and the friction Of
common life which in the old days had
so often disturbed their peace and in
terrupted their friendship.

and discovery of something more true
and precious still. The idea OF the
ever passing years and of feelings and
fortunes appropriate TO each stage OF
life helped her, but was not enough
There were differences of minds, too,
Of temperS and Of views; and every
one Of them implied fitting in, per-
haps a pairing away here or an addi-
ton there-a harmonizing; these
things must be if the system was to

There were the hopeless cases. These

ity in the lives which passed within
her view. But her eyes were open
now. Yet she took courag ge-she took
courage from Grantley, whose crest
was not lowered, though his heart was
changed.
So spoke reason, and to II Sibylla
bowed. The array of cases. the mar
shaling of instances, all that the peo-
pie and the lives about her had rep
resented and typihed-their moral
was not to be denied. But reason IS
not the sole governor, nor even the
only teacher. 1t might open her eyes;
II might even moderate the arrogance
of her demands; 1t could not change
the temper of her heart. She was
not even chilled, far less ernbittered.
She went forth to meet life and love
as ardently as ever. The change was
that she knew more what these things
were which she started forth to well
come and perceived better to what she
must attune herself. She would hope
and enjoy still. But she asked no
more a privilege over her fellows. She
could hope as a mortal without i'm

her-to have her again to share his
interests and to be partner in his
fortunes. Yet for the moment he could
not do as she bade him. He was much
moved, and was very unready at ex-
pressing emotion. He sat in silence,
gently caressing her hand. 1t was she
who spoke.
"Of course there's lot to say; but
don't let's say it, John. You'll know
I'm feeling 1t, and l shall know that
about you, too. But don't let's say

after all, was it. in spite of the way we
both grumbled?"
My dear old grill" he murmured-
Il suppose you must be as vulgar as
you like to-day" said Christine. with
a dainty life of her brow and an af-
fected resignation. Then suddenly she
turned and kissed him, saying gravely:
I'm grateful, John. and don't-don't
think there's anything wrong in being
generous

Presently the gates Of Johns mouth
were loosed, and he began to tell all
his news. 1t was mainly about his
business-how 1t had hourished, how
he had built up his credit again, OF
the successes he had won; that as soon
as he had paid off his debts-a mo-
ment of embarrassment befell him here

him TO set the note Of their interview,
and of more than their interview-of
their future life, and Of how they were
to be TO one another henceforward.
Here I am. Christine. Mrs. Grant
ley told me ! should find you in this
room; and here Lam"
She nodded her head coolly. but
gave him no other welcome. He came
two or three steps toward her. holding
out his hands in front of him in an
awkward way, and with that ashamed
pleading smile still on his lips.
Il can't get on without my old girl,
he said.
In a flash Of her quick intuition she
knew his mind. The one sentence re-
vealed anything which his manner had
left doubtful, He was doing what he
thought wrong, and doing it because he
could not help IT. He was abandoning
q great and just grievance, and there
by seemed 10 be sacrificing the claims
Of morality, condoning what deserved
no forgiveness, impairing his own self
respect His position. with all its OBJ
vious weakness, had not become un-
tenable in theory, and his reason, hard
bound in preconceptions, was not con-
vinced. He came under the stress Of
feeling, because his life had become in
tolereble, because, as he said in one
OF his phrases Of rough affection, he
could not get on without his old girl.
The need he had Of her conquered the
grievance that he had against her. and
brought him back to her. He came
with no reproaches, no parade of for
giveness, with neither references to the
past nor terms for the future.
II was a triumph for Christine, and
OF the kind she priced and understood
best-a woman's triumph. Tt had not
been expected; ii was none too well de-
served. A color came on her cheeks,
and she breathed rather quickly as she
realized the completeness Of ii. For a
moment she was minded to use it to
the full. and, since she was no longer
the criminal, to play the tyrant in her
turn. But the very perfection of the
victory forbade It inspired in her a
feeling which reproaches would have
been powerless TO raise-a great pity
for him, new and more genuine con-
demnation OF herself. Had she been
so much as that TO him, and yet had
used him so I'll?
i've been lonely, too, john" she
said. "Come and kiss me, my dear"
He came to her difiidently. and hard
lv touched her cheek when he kissed
her.
THAT doesn't feel a bit like you,
John" she said with nervous laugh,
as she made him sit by her on the
sofa. Now tell me all about every
thing. I know that's what you want
TO do"
That was what he wanted to do

She walked with him that night In the
garden while the rest made merry with
games and songs and Jokes within,
their gay laughter echoing down TO the
old house where the long-parted hus-
band and wife sat at last hand IN hand.
She bowed her head, and put her hands
in Grantley's, saying:
