Jessie Gardens reception in the
Morris mansion opened to her a new
and an attractive world Accustomed
from childhood to the comforts and
Injuries of comparative wealth, she
was awed by the magnificent sensu-
BUSINESS Of the millionaires palace,
and by the pomp and splendor OF its
decorations and fittings. Neverthe-
less, without attempting to analyze or
justify her feelings, Jessie was not
favorably impressed with Arthur Nor
ris. There is a psychological barrier
between vice and virtue; an instinct
which places innocence on guard. The
young mans personality was OF slight
importance at the moment, but Jessie
did not like him-why, she neither
knew nor cared She tactfully eluded
his further attentions, and spent the
remainder of the Afternoon with his
sisters.
Three days later Arthur Morris
called at the Bishop house and found
Jessie at home. They chatted for an
hour or more, and he secured her
consent to be one of a coaching party
on the next Saturday. Had it not been
for his presence she would have en-
ioyed the expedition thoroughly.
More than a week had passed. From
Sam Rounds-who knew of every
thing that happened for miles about
John heard of the party, and drank
deep of the lovers first cup of sus-
picion, bitter with the NORWOOD of
jealousy. He decided to call on Jessie
and learn his fate. His heart leaped
when Jessie came forward to meet
him. There was tenderness in her
eyes and welcome in the clasp of the
warm little hand which nestled for an
instant in his.
Saddle my horse, john let's ride!'
she said.
Delighted, John obeyed, and set
himself stolidly to enjoy her presence
as they galloped along the beach.

they took their first horseback ride OF
the summer. They galloped for miles
along the hard sand of the seashore,
and dismounted to rest and talk be-
meath the shade of pleasant trees.
Jessie told him of the letter from
her father, and with some pride talked
of the invitation from Randolph Nor
ris. John looked at the slip Of paper
In Jessie's hand, and it appeared like
wedge about to separate them. And
why should it not? What right had he
to aspire to the love of Jessie Garden,
the daughter of rich man; beautiful
beyond any woman he had ever seen?
The fear which ofttimes became a
certainty that Jessie would pass be-
yond his reach, was the haunting ter
ror of his dreams by day or night.
She had everything-youth, health,
beauty, wealth and position. He had
youth and health-so had the aver

lay to the east, and the island-dotted
bay glowed in the colors of a glorious
sunset At the horizon was mass of
clouds; above burned q bar Of red
the red of blood. To the zenith were
spread the gorgeous tints with which
the setting sun tinseled the closing
curtains of night Delicate greens
toned through the shades Of orange
into rich amethyst, and against this
background of lacework of clouds
Haunted the thousand graduations of
the spectrum. But the bar Of red

was reflected in the water of the bay,
shimmering in the rubescent glow.
They stood silent for minutes
under the spell of natures grandest

its arc touched the line Of the cloud.

The Tragedy.

Churchill's Grove was famous for Its
clambakes, and when John and Jessie
drove into it the scene was one to
delight the heart of a loyal New Eng
lander.
The cool, salt breeze from the ocean,
the aroma from fir and pine, and the
odor from simmering clam and sea-
weed formed a trinity ambrosial
enough to make an Apicius of an an
chorite.
For an hour or more they walked
along the hard, smooth sand, crunch
ing the shells under their feet; the
song of the sea in their ears, and its
cool breath on their cheeks. Then
the great gong sounded the signal for
dinner and they turned to the grove.
"Mr. Morris must have been delay

once more toward the harbor. Come
on; we won't wait for him"
They had a merry time over dinner.
AS they came out from the grove they
saw the Voltairs at anchor, her upper
works glistening in the sunshine. Her
launch, crowded with passengers, was
just leaving.
