to Trowbridge that the Walkers were

AS time went on he found himself
accepting invitations ON the chance of
meeting Miss Ccllingwood. though he
had decided from the first that he
could under no circumstances enter
the ranks of her suitors.
Among the few mistaken ideas Trow-

was belief in his own cynicisna,
which was in reality the suppressed
cry for love and happiness.
Chester TroWbridge was heart hun

sight of Caryl Collingwood and the
feeling of general dissatisfaction when
several days passed without seeing
her. He acknowledged to himself that
he was fascinated by her beauty; that
it was a pure delight to him to watch
the varying changes of her expressive
eountenance. 1t was the artistic de-
light that the sight Of her beauty af-
forded him that made him seek occa-

He had assured himself of this fact
so often that he was almost ready to
believe it. and so securely intrenched

The Fourth was spent quietly at the
Walkers. Mrs Walker devot1ng the
whole day to Miss Collingwood. whom
she regarded as the savior OF her
child's life. while Walker took TroW-
bridge out for long ride in his new
automobile Chester sat alone on the
piazza in the evening. when he heard
his name called softly.
He rose and was about to enter the
house through the front door when he
heard again:
"Mr. Trowbridge. won't you please
come in here for moment"'
"Where is here?' he asked.
"In the library"
He quickly entered the room through
the window and saw the form of Miss
Collingwood lying on the lounge. Her
face was partially concealed by band
age. She put out her hand as he APP
preached, but when she saw his
swathed in bandages she gave "a low

That Chester Trowbridge was in
love he would not acknowledge even to
himself.
He had first met Miss Collingwood at
a tea given by one of his artist girl
friends at her studio. and, despite what
Mrs. Tom had said concerning her
friends beauty. he was unprepared for
so much loneliness.
He had been promptly introduced by
Mrs. Tom. who had made particular
point of making the two acquainted
and her eagerness perhaps accounted
for a slight reserve in Miss Colling-
