How was he to tell her what he did
want?
"Then you must at least let me offer
you cup of tea after being so kind as
to bring it yourself"
Johns heart leaped.
''Than1 you," he said, simply; and to
her establishment she found her invita-
ton calmly accepted
John never forgot that first talk with
the woman of his dreams. His gau-
cherie dropped from him, he kept her
entranced with descriptions of his life
in the Australian bush, and as her
mood grew more intimate, he told her
something of his struggles and of his
mothers death just as he had reached
his goal. Tears were very near her
eyes then, and her heart went out to
him. Whether it was the conscious
ness of her silent sympathy, the near
ness of her heart to his, or the sudden
overlooking of long pent up feelings
but John lost command over himself,
and almost before he knew what he
was doing had poured out in passion
ate broken sentences the story Of his
love.
Amusement, Indignation, and some
thing that was neither choked her ut
terance. She sprang to her feet
"How dare you, oh, how dare you
speak to me like that? How could
you?" Then she sank back into her
chair in a storm of tears.

life that Mildred Everton had listened
to an avowal of love from a mans
lips, the first time in her sheltered,
quiet existence that she had come face

an, and that woman-herself
Terror, anger, and startled delicacy
struggled together within her with
something else, sweet, thrilling awak-
ening into life, of something long and
shyly anticipated, but never realized.
Shy thoughts and girlish dreams of
the prince that every woman's heart
holds, dreams long since crushed out Of
mind, came f1uttering back and fought
with the somber accepted fact that for
her there was no prince, and that the
long road must be trod alone.
1t was the consciousness Of this
strange tumult within her that fright

"Say 1 may come again"

of sweeping with the pile instead of
