blush with spasm Of pleasure.
"You would think it necessary to
blow again, wouldn't youp"
"Oh, don't know. 1t seems rath-
er stupid, 1 think"
But Ryton proceeded with his sec
ond weed. "She loves me, she loves
me not. She loves me, che loves
me not
"There's only one more blow
there reallyp cried Winifred, with
unconscious anxiety.
Ryton made huge effort. "She
loves mel"
81 said sop Winifred laughed
delightedly, caught his eye and pull
ed up abruptly.
"But it wouldn't do for me-" con-
tinued Ryton solemnly, "to go to
you and say: 4 know you love me,
darling. When shall we get mar
ried p"
"Why wouldn't it ?" she asked, in
tensely interested in a stubby daisy
the gardener had missed beheading.
Because" said Ryton, "there is
still one more thing to blow before
the question is settled"
"Oh, blow it then. Blow it quick
Typ
Ryton inwardly thanked all his
stars that Jack and she were equally
superstitious. "And this one, of
course, settles the question forever.
This one will tell me to go to you
joyfully or forever hold my peace"
Winifred examined it carefully,
anxiously. "But that's such an
enormous thing. You'll be certain
to make an uneven number of
blows,
"Ah," said Ryton sadly, 'but one
can't choose ones fluffy headed
thing. In this life one has to take
ones chance. She loves me, she
loves me not"
'tNot too fast, Mr.. Ryton."
Ryton's heart, for all that he
wrote books, beat furiously. 'She
loves me, she loves me not. She"-
Winifred couldn't stand the sus-
pense. She leaned forward and gave
a great blow. 81 love youl / mean
she loves you. Supposing that you
really love me-her-whoever it is.
"But you blew, too," said Ryton.
Every likely should have left
some unassisted."
perhaps you would" said Wini-
fred.
Ryton dropped the stalk. 'But l
don't think SO. After all, that's not
the point. The point is whether it's
going to rain today and for forty
days, isn't it?"
Winifred laughed and dipped her
head SO that he should not see some
thing she knew to be in her eyes.
"Of course it is! But there aren't
any more in the garden"
"By Jove! Aren't there? Oh,
well, it doesn't matter You may
fill Jacks heart with delight by as
suring him that st. Swithin is going
to be kind"
every well," said Winifred.
"And you may further tell him, ]
think, that you have filled my heart
with delight by assuring me that st.
Winifred is also going to be kind"
"But ! haven'tp she said hur-
riedly. 81 haven't said word"
Ryton caught her hand. "That
doesn't matter. The fluffy headed
thing said so, and that's good
enough for me-"
"Oh, don'tl Lord Thuxton is
looking. Er-er-as it has been set
tied that it isn't going to rain, shall
we go out in the punt?"
Ryton followed her quickly. "You
feel quite confident in the truth OF
this thing then?"
"Quite," said Winifred as she got
into the punt.-Sketch.
