The last day Of Pierre Merrivale's
visit at Bronson Manor had arrived.
Apparently, it was not hard to bid
Lenore adieu. There was a clasp of
the hand and a conventional God

tiles lurked a feeling 70 passionate on
the part Of both that one relenting
glance from Pierre would have
opened the floodgates Of their mutual
happiness. Yet this glance for which
Lenore would have given almost her
very life was not vouchsafed. for stub

Other e AS she came to converse
with him more and more and to know
him better, she was perfectly ready
to believe that Pierre had never set
himself above common men because
|of his peerless person. And as their
companionship heightened with the
long summer months, her pity grew
into an attachment which h could
hardly persuade herself to believe. In
truth her heart, which she had steeled
to resist the charms of the perfect
Pierre, had surrendered first to pity
and then to love at the sight of that
noble, but disfigured face.
More than once Pierre was at the
point of telling how madly he loved
her, but in a trice he thought of the
sea- that disfigured his face. What
woman could love a man with that
hideous mark? No, he would not tell
her. She should never know that his
heart had been wheedled away by a
miserable feeling of pity.
