CHAPTER XVII-(Continued
And he remembered, too, that till
this night there had always been
something about Katherine Granger
to remind him, to whom his heart still
turned, despite their recent churlish
treatment of him; who made such a
close bond between his boyhood and
his present self.
Yes, katherine had surely possessed
something of the simplicity, that
quiet, reticent strength of those North
Country people He was conscious
now of how much he had relied on
her. He got up with a sigh at last,
and before he went indoors he made
his way to Betty's little garden again.
He stopped and touched the rose once
more with his lips, but 1t seemed as
II the fragrance had gone from the
flower, as If the soft beauty of the
garden had lost something. Certain
II was that as he slowly moved under
the trees he. had sense Of loss heav-
lily upon him, as If in the fitting away
Of that girls white-robed figure, not
merely the little world about him was
robbed Of potent charm, but that
there had gone with her a sympathy
an influence that all unconsciously
had suggested to him consolation.

and between the tiny digue and the
beach there stretched large expanse
Of rich wet sand, broken here and

opalescent coloring of the sky, made
tnexpressibly glorious by the sinking
of the hot, tired sun.

TO be tired, it had been shining Sc
f1ercely for SO many hours.
She sat in a low canvas chair on thu
sands, and watched her two small PEG
pie scampering here and there abso
lutely regardless of fatigue. They
had their dainty clothes pinned W
carefully, and their pretty little legs
were burnt dark brown. Betty look
ed quite tall, especially with her sun
ny hair punched on her head.
Every now and then KATHERINE
would call:
Bed time, chicks"
But she said it dreamily, and no on
took any notice.
She was spellbound by the marvel
lous beauty of the sea and sky. A

Fiery streaks of orange, mingled wit
the tenderest rose-pink, flung then

whilst its surface caught the reflec
