Clara. And Mrs. Purdie, won't you
drive up with me? Flora wants to
walk
Flora stood up. She had a confused
impression that she had expressed no
such desire, and that there was room
for three in the landau; but the mental
shove that Clara had administered gave
her an impetus that carried her out of
the carriage before she realized what
she was about. Some one had offered
a hand to help her, ana when she was
on the ground she saw it was Kerr,
who had come back and was standing
beside her. He was smiling quizzically.

table with the feeling that in an hour
all three of them had become quite old
friends of his, though without knowing
anything further about him.
I'VE must do this again. Mrs. Pur-
die said, as they parted from her in the
garden.
Surely we will" Kerr answered her.
But Flora had the feeling that they
never, never would. For him it had
been a chance touching on a strange
shore.
But at least they were going away
together. They would walk together as
far as the little car. whose terminal
was the edge of the parade ground.

She was pleased hat he had noticed
that for himself-pleased, too. hat he
had suggested the longer way.
The narrow path that they had
chosen branched out upon the main
path, broad and yellow, which dipped
downward into the hollow. From there
came the murmur of water. Green
showed through the white grass of last
summer. The dor of wet eyergreens
was pungent in theiE nostrils. They
looked at the delicate fringed acacias,
at the circle of hills showing above the
low tree-tops, at the cloudless sky;
but always their eyes returned to
each others faces, as if they
found these the ~pleasantest points
of the landscape. Sauntering be-
tween plantations of young eucalyptus,
they came to the arched stone bridge.
They leaned on the parapet, looking
down at the marshy stream beneath
and al the three irises Kerr had re-
marked, knee-deep in swamp ground.
'Now that l see them l suppose l
want them" Flora remarked.
"Of course" he assented. Then hold
all these"
He put into her hands the loose bunch
of syringa and rose plucked for her in
the Puriies' garden, laid his hat and
gloves on the parapet; then, with IN
eye for the better bank, walked to the
end of the bridge.
She watched him descending the
steep bank and issuing into the broad
shallow basin of the streams way. The
sun was still high enough to fill the
hollows with warn light and mellow
the doubles of trees and grass in the
stream. In this landscape of green and
pale gold he looked black and tall and
angular. The wind blew longish locks
of hair across his forehead. and she
had a moments pleased and timorous
reflection that he looked like Satan
coming into the garden.
He advanced from tussock to tussock.
He came to the brink of the marsh.
