Gay, having been no farther away than

Shortly after her return the respon-
sl'e rappings ceased, and a. Quintner,
fearful of betraying her, did not per-

But on his way to the Office one
morning he met the servant with the

discontinued it the week before. when

acquaintance for two reasons: First
suppose she should fall short of mis-
conception of her? This thought was
such treason that he trieo to persuade
himself that he did not entertain it,
and when it became too insistent he
apcIogized, $; ing: Forgive me, dear,
l cannot forFo the sins of that other
woman
Secondly, his long years as A. Quint-
ner, clerk, had deprived him OF the
powers of initiative.
About this time something epochal
happened. One evening, at an early
hour, Mr.. Quintner heard a tapping
upon the wall which separated his resi-
dence from the dwelling next door. He
was thinking so intensely of her at the
moment that the sound, coming from
that quarter, impressed him as a sig
nal. Scarce realizing what he was
doing, he sprang to the wall and, trem-
bling like an aspen leaf, he tapped
three times, softly, with his knuckles.
What was his Joy to receive a re-
sponse-almost inaudible, indeed, but
Enthusiastically n response!
On his way to the office the next day
he met her; he passed her in the
street; he fairly brushed her dress with
hat in joyful recognition and gaze smil-
insly into her eyes, but was restrained
by feeling of delicacy, elusive, yet SO
clear that it caused him to pass by
without looking up.
This Is our secret" he unused, "un-
confessed even to ourselves, and to
take advantage of it or to seem con-
scious of it would be as rude as to
speak of a kiss
Tapping upon the wall now became
the chief feature of A. Quintner's daily
life, something to be looked forward
to, sacred tryst to bring him home
nights and to keep him there Every
evening at ten o'clock he tapped Every
evening he heard a faint response. In
his imaginary association with her, he
planned not only evenings of reading
from inspired books, but hours of con-
verse and of more eloquent silence
One morning she went away, and the
fact that she took with her a suitcase
and wore travelling dress suggested
10 his Impractical mind a long stay
months perhaps. The second evening
after her departure he began a love
letter to her:
My Sweetheart-For such you are,
and you cannot help yourself, for,
whatever your sentiments may be to-
wards me, you cannot prevent my low

ne flowers are here yet, the sun, the
