you throw away your chance in life

The inevitable happened, for Vim

both, he struck wildly in his anger and
l caught the blow on my arm.
"You liar!" he shouted, "oh, you
liar" and in a rage that shook him
from head to foot he rushed from the
room and slammed the door.
Twas sick at heart as I stood staring
after him to think that matters had
come to such pass between Vincent

hair, which was cut close to conceal
a wave in the gold of 1t. It occurred
to me at once that his face had lost

Eyes, sir" he went on: Il met her
four miles from town carrying an old
beggar-woman's bundle because the
poor old thing had hurt her foot. And

transfigured, l grasped in moment
the meaning of the whole thing and
the understanding struck like blow
at my heart and l knew how dear the
welfare of this boy was to me. Some
how, Vincent represents to me the
things might have been, and am not,
the things l might have won, and
have lost; he represents the first flush
Of my own youth. And now that I
had wasted those opportunities to lead
the selfish existence of the average
bachelor, I found a certain Joy in
again experiencing those first throbs
OF living that had been mine, in the
person and life of young Vincent.
AS he stood before me, glowing with
feeling, felt that it was for me to

it seemed, and my anger at the wom-

Withholding from him the knowledge

CHAPTER vi,

When we met at breakfast the next
morning there were no signs Of the
breach between Vincent and myself
except his unusual pallor, which sug-
gested to me that he, too had spent a
sleepless night.
The girls were inclined to joke our
solemn faces, but so long as the meal
passed off without disclosing that
something was amiss between us did
not care. All day we saw nothing of
each other, but this was not unusual,
as we always pursued different
courses. 1 spent most of my time
with Agatha Fourth, the only honor
able, whom found to be really de.
lightful girl and certainly the posses.
sor of remarkable musical talent.
In the evening the others went out
to row on the lake and left Agatha
Fourth alone with me- She sat at the
piano and played everything she
could think Of, while lay on broad
divan where l could watch her and
listen to the soft music.

something to do with the fact that
was boor enough to fall asleep while
the beautiful Agatha Fourth was play

lence, and, of course. If he really cared
for the woman, the words l had used
were about the most insulting possible.
However, had done what seemed to
be my duty. and only reproached N.Y.
self bitterly for not having told him
of the secretary's marriage before his
unhappy infatuation had gained such
headway. But he had disarmed my
first suspicious and had never
dreamed that anything so serious was
on foot. That was restless night for
me and it was dawn before fell into

tears had just been she'd. And for the
life Of her the secretary couldn't help
her lip trembling. though she knew 1t
was absurd and was very much
ashamed of herself. Vincent broke the
silence first. I'VE might do little

he suggested. 1t was evident that our
affair of last night was uppermost in
his mind, for his air was very alb.

II didn't think OF 1t as work, and
thought perhaps you didn't, either,
when we did 1t together"
Little boys shouldn't think: it's a
bad habit" she said, severely; "be-
sides you talk like Il in the Dolly Dia-
logues.'"
At this Vincent's face grew dcsper-
ate. and ! saw that she had goaded
him into asking her the question that
had been on his mind all day, and l
nearly fell off the sofa in my efforts
to hear without being seen.
"Do IL" he said. well. that's be-
cause I've something I've been want
Ing to ask you all day long. It's some
thing very personal, and, of course,

Strengthening up, "you must speak
more clearly II you want me to under
stand what you have been saying"
TITS this" said Lord Wilfred facing
her abruptly and terribly in earnest.
Someone told me last night that you
were married woman. Is 1t true?"
I could not see the face of the Sec
retary. but l could not help perceiving
the ring Of truth in her voice.
I'm not married." she said, simply.

toward her suddenly and grasped her
hands and put his face within an inch
Of her-I could see by the freight It's
look Of determination and ineffable re-
lief. The secretary gave little cry
and drew back. conjectured that
Wilfred was on the point OF making
an irretrievabls ass of himself so
interrupted proceedings by knocking
a book off the sofa and rising to my
feet. At the first sound Of the book
falling the two had jumped to their
feet and stood. the girl shrinking close

and still no Vincent, went up to his
room, for thought he should be up
! and doing on this. his last day at Cas-
tie Wyckhoff. when he was to leave
for London on the Ais train that aft
ernoon. I say "he" not "we," for I
felt more confident of my success
with Agatha Sixth that day than I had
done the evening before, and although
had not yet had the opportunity to
put the great question. felt that it
was very possible that in the guise Of
accepted lover l might not have to
take the 4:15 that afternoon.
When I reached Vincent's room I
knocked twice, and, receiving no an
swer. entered, and was somewhat
alarmed to find that he was not there.

and little willful rings held in place

And when at last it dawned upon
me that it was really the secretary
who was Vincent's companion, SO
breathless was 1 with amaze that at
first I hardly realized that l could
hear perfectly what they we're saying.
And when / did realize it, l wanted to
rise and let them know that I was
! there, but ON second thought saw
that must have been there for 80 long
that they would never believe that I
had not heard the whole of their con.
versation. Furthermore, 1t occurred
to me that 1t might be we'll IL stayed
to hear what Miss Marsh had to say
for herself.
"And SO calmly took the dress and
put 1t on, just to amuse myself" I
heard the secretary saying, "and did
my hair the way the others do theirs,
you know And 1t was 80 late I thought
no one would find me here"
"And II hadn't left my pipe on the
table no one would have found you,
and think what should have
missed" Vincent's voice was elo-
quent.
"Of course. It was very vain of mo.
very vain," she went on; but you
know when girl has to earn her own
living she gets little tired Of all
work and no play, and sometimes the
impulse to pretend she's fortunate and
happy and-and pretty"-the secretary
flushed under Vincent's gaze as she
faltered the last word and hurried on
-"and like the others--is SO strong
that 1t tempts her to deck herself out
In borrowed plumes and sit in an
empty drawing room at 12 o'clock at
night enjoying the illusion for brief
hour"
NO." said Vincent, softly, II don't
think it was vain; think it was the
most natural thing in the world, and
and I'm glad you did it," he ended,
rather lamely.
The secretary laughed, and I won.
dered what there was about the sound
that made Vincent rave over it. Then,
as his eyes wandered to her hair, he
sighed.
