slender, but very graceful in all her ac-

been especially beautiful for she had
rather Irregular features, but her fas-
cination of manner was irresistible
She had way OF cooking her head a
little to one side and of looking side
ways at the person with whom she was
talking that gave strong impression
Of coquctry. She had very small hands
and feet and was fond Of showing both,
often having her gowns shortened In
order that her feet might be seen. She

DENISE

Copyright, 1915, by Z. ;. Mcclure

Big Pierre Laloup sent his canoe
iGwn stream with such mighty strokes
81 the paddle that the tough ash bent
IN his hands and bade air to snap.
Twilight was falling the soft, mys-
terious twilight of the forest that made
black shadows beneath the tamaracks
while the sky blazed red and gold
above the treetops. The pipe of birds
came muSically through the stiffness,
and far away a white owl was hOot-
ing dismalIy.
Ordinarily Pierre would have lOiter-
ed along. drifting idly with the current
and watching the night descend upon
the forest, for, familiar with 1t all as
he was, these early summer twilights
cast their spell upon him They made
him content with the world and with
himself. Sut tonight the spell was
rudely shattered He wanted to pad
die hard enough to blot out his bitter
thoughts
For long time he had known it was
coming. He had endeavored to pre-
that it was here, despite all his fore
sight and his determination to take the
blow stolG-y. his heart was full Of
ranking bitterness. Yes, he had known
it that day in early spring. when De
Mise B"auchnmp had come back from
the convent thousand times prettier
and a thousand times more intangible.
He had known then that she had gone
quite beyond the pale Of his dreams.
The Denise who came back from the
convent was not the Denise OF old.
This new Denise. with the big, starry
eyes that looked one through and
through was a bewidering creature.
In her presence big Pierre felt like an
awkward. hungIing schoolbOy. Her
cool. quiet voice. with its subtle i'm
