10 believe that he is actually and
veritahly bewitched, or why should
this thing cling to him so stubbornly?
Why, when he sleeps, does he dream
that the soft, warm arms are around
his necli-the sweet voice murmur-
ing lovingly in his ear-why, in his
waking moments, do the girls eyes
follow him about, accusingly, plead
ingly?
No man could make a harder fight
for it than he has done. He has
plunged into every form of excitement
without avail. He may succeed in
forgetting this ''bit Of girl" as he
calls her, bitterly, for the time, but as
surely as he sits down quietly she
comes back to haunt and madden him.
Sometimes the wild, unsatisfied love
gives place to a fierce self-reproach.
He calls himself fool for acting as
he did. Why did he not step in up
on those two as they stood in the dark
wood-why did he not step in and
wreak MS vengeance upon the man?
He was fool to let him go without a
word cr-a o low Besides-besides,
who knows if ne had so interfered
that May would not have turned to
him and sent the other adrift. It is
true that the sense of her treachery
would have always cen with him, but
still he would have kept her; and
through all his misery, he feels that it
is not her treachery which tortures
him so much as the loss of her.
He had loved her-he loves her still
with the passionate love which
man who has known the world pours
ont on the woman who first reaches
his heart. He had loved her. and he
ad lost her, and do all he would he
could not console himself
He had loved her-he loves her
still-with the passionate love which
a man who has known the world
pours out on the woman who first
reaches his heart, He had loved her,
and he had lost her, and DO all he
would he could not console himself.
AS he stands gazing from table to
table, nodding to this man and that,
great WEAKNESS comes upon him-an
infinite disgust The sight of the ex-
quisitely furnished room, the familiar
faces, the very cards themselves, are
distastefnl. He has tried this form of
dissipation and found it fail-fail ut
terly to bring him any amusement or
satisfaction.
