love is so near dead that only a mir
acle can revive 1t. She would fight
to the last for the love that was hers
by right, for the worst of /, was that
she loved her husband so very much
better for the change.
Her hand trembled on her bride,
and her spirited mare, taking advan-
tage of the tremble, plunged in
among the crowd gathered in the
roadway outside the front of Tarent
House. One or two people looked at
her with as much surprise as irrita-
ton.
"Why, Beel" cried one of two girls
who had been chatting together,
whats the matter with you? Were
you asleep?"
isn't Lord Farleigh with your"
said the other. II thought he didn't
let you come out alone?"
AS if in answer to the girls ques-
ton and her own thoughts, Lord Far
leighs figure was at that moment
silhouetted against the sky on the
summit of little rise in the road.
Mrs. Casilis was with him, riding
Telegram, horse of Farleigh's which
he had never allowe7 Beatrice to
mount.
Beatrice caught her brath
And he didn't even tell me! 1
could almost hope she'll get a spill.
Well, it's my chance today. I may
be dull little thing compared to
her, but can ride, and he and she
shall see it today"
People were turning up into the
drive toward General Tarent's house.
Beatrice went with the rest without
waiting for her husband and his COM
panion to come up. General Tarent
turned from a group of men with
whom he was eagerly discussing some
matter of local politics to help her to
alfght; his manner was unusually
kind and fatherly. He gave her in
charge of Dick Atterbury, to be taken
into the house and fed. Dick had
seemed to be waiting there on pur-
pose.
The last time she had seen Dick to
speak to they had parted very bit
terly. She had refused him. telling
of her engagement to Lord Farleigh,
and Dick had seemed to think he had
been treated badly; he had said hard
things, and declared he would never
willingly speak to her again. Since
then he had avoided her so far as he
could do so without open rudeness;
today he was horribly kind and re-
spectful.
Had it gone so far already then?
Did the people know that the time
was come for her friends to stand
round her, so to speak Offering COM
fort and protection? Was she already
one of the women nice people are
sorry for, and at whom others laugh?

"Will you come to the office,
please?" asked the voice. 1T is inn
portant."
For a moment Ned hesitated. Go
ing to the office probably meant that
he was to be called to account for
sending the valentine, and he was
tempted to say no. Then better i'm
pulse came and he answered that he
would be right over.
Half an hour later he was ushered
into the private office of Howard
Musgrave. The old man rose to his
feet when Ned entered and came to-
ward him.
"I have confession to make" he
said indicating chair. II found your
valentine in the mail this morning
Coming as 1t did right on top of our
conversation of yesterday | thought
It an impertinence and slipped 1t in
to my pocket"
"I thought So" said Ned. Rita
said that she had not received 1t and
/ told her that you must have had 1t.
but she insited that you did not do
such things"
"Well, / did," was the confession.
Il opened 1t a little while ago to see

what you had said. 1t was one of
those lace paper things that l used
to send to Mrs. Musgrave when she
was Dolly Grant. l thought they
had gone out of style"
"They have" agreed Ned.
why did you pick out one of the
old-fashioned ones?" asked the elder
man, curiOusly.
"It was because always have done
so since was years old" explained
Ned
IT haven't seen one of these In
years." mused Musgrave. II remem-
ber how l used to stanA In front OF
the window of the shop back in Brad
leyville and choose what l should
send Dolly. 1t t,ok me back forty
years"
"I'm glad 1t did some one good"
said Ned, with fine irony.
