Don't YOU see? Don't you understand? !?
All my life | had been trying to express
my sense of obligation in some way-and
this-this was the first and only thing
that he had ever asked of met
She stared straight in front of her, pon-
dering the problem. Something in her
pose, the troubled expression in the droo2-
ing figure, the sweetness of her profile,
called forth all of his protective strength
He was ashamed of the brutal force with
which he had protested against what he
felt TO be deceit Then a new, disquieting
thought gripped something deep within
him.
Tell me- he said. "are you in love
with anybody
She turned her troubled :"ne to his.
NO" she answered.. Are you?"
'No-uness one can be in love with IN
ideal" !.
Are you in love with an ideal?"
Gilbert did not answer. He did not ap
pear TO have heard the question. His face
was partly turned from her, and she
looked curiously at the lines of his strong.
stern features, the broad shoulders and
the sweep of the straight back.
Il think that perhaps we have both been

Gilbert turned to her sharply-'tDid you

He need never know that we have been
married only in name. He need never
learn that we are not living together as
as-husband and wife,
Gilber't's clear eyes had not left her face
as she talked. and for some reason Stella
found it difficult to meet his look. There
was a sternness in it which awakened her
combativeness
Il do not think'-he said, slowly-'I DO
not think that l would care to trick a
man to whom 1 owe as much as l do TO
my grandfather. Would you?''
All of the color faded from Stella s
face

YOU do not see it as 1 do?"

How sad" murmured Stella. His
mind seemed quite clear yesterday
Also, he said that lie thought il a very
good plan for me to go Immediately %
Japan. and that until [ sailed he did not
think that | should intrude upon your
privacy. that while / was gone you would
have time to accustom yourself to the idea
of my being your husband
There was protracted silence.
'Then," said Stella sarcastically, there
appears to have been some Justification
for my point of view after all"
Yes" admitted Gilbert, 1T appears
that my views were quixotic. All the
same l am glad that TOLD him..
Neither spoke for several minutes, then
Gilbert said:
Il hope that you will like your apart
ments. They are very bright and sunny
and overlook the park. The cook and a
Japanese boy have been there right along.
ard l am leaving you my man, Jerrems,
a.; butler. Tha chauffeur will call every
morning for his orders. Your. maid mas

to spare in the place, so if you like you
can have any of your friends spend the
winter with you. There are good
many of my things about the place and if
they are in the way have Jerrems pack
item up"
When the heavy vehicle drew up before
tie Marquise 1t was quite dark. and there
was sharp tingle TO the keen air
Il will show you the place. If I may"
said Gilbert. as he helped his bride from
the car. Then. If, you are not too tired

way to do this thing it would be rather
false pretenses."
IF we were to be married would we
not have fulfilled all that we had prom
ised?" Stella's voice quavered. Would
we not have made him happy
Yes" said Gilbert, we should have
fed hm-with stolen food To be frank,
/ wondered why you were so ready TO
marry stranger, even though il was al
ways understood that we two were to
marry some day. / failed TO catch your
viewpoint Such an expedient had never
occurred to me. Perhaps you are right, |
fancy most women would feel you do.
but for my part | should hate myself if |
knew that even to make him happy | had
deceived in his last hours a man whom |
love and to whom / owe everything. This
is, / expect purely mans logic. -
He turned to the window again and
drummed softly with his fingers on the
d; ne For many minutes there was utter
silence: from outside there came the miIf-
fed growl Of the traffic in the crowded
streets.
A rustle from the divan drew Gilbert $
ewes away from the WINDOW. Stella looked
IN as he turned and her eyes met MS
abstractedly.
You are right" she said, very quietly.
..You have been very cruel to me. but
there is no doubt that you are right
never thought of 1t in that way-and then,

manded.
Stella nodded.
Gilbert drew a deep breath.
Let me tell you something" he said.

tried to please him, but do you think that

gan to tell me of YOU l was in college.

| think that / fell in love with it, | kept
il TO myself-never let another person see
-. Later on he sent me another-then
another. When we were together he
would tell me about You, and when. one
day, he told me that it was his wish that
We should marry and that you had con-
sented | felt as though | had gained my
hearts desire. IL suppose that l had
been in love with you from the time that
first saw your pieture-you know how
boys are In spite of the feeling that
had thrilled through his voice his speech
ended lightly, but he had grown pale and
has blue eyes shone like sapphires.
He began again. in low, even voice: Il
never thought of the possibility of any
thing like this-of our being called upon
10 marry before | was given the chance
of trying to win Your love. When you
consented so readily | was shocked
stunned. 1t meant so much TO me. and

Don't you understand? If l was rude L
am sorry, and l hope that YOU will for
give me-"
Stella rose to her feet and faced him
Her face was very pale, all the light had
gone out of her eyes.
Il am very sorry for you," she sad.
Il am very sorry that l have shattered
the ideals with which you had surrounded
me. l gave a promise and then got
frightened and tried to evade 1t. i should

Gilbert stared in surprise and some dis
may. Now you are unjust to yourself"
he exclaimed. You were doing what
seemed right to you. 1t was different
with me, because-well, you see, ! had
been in love with you all of the time
Stella laughed; her eyes softened. You
mean that you We're in love with your
picture of me. Poor dreamer of Dreams
she added, half mockingly.
The blood rushed into Gilbert's face.
Please don't joke about it, he said
quickly. NO doubt it was silly, but it
was sincere. At any rate, that's not che
point. What are we to do? Have you

voice.

said Gilbert quickly. AS | was abso-

laid the whole matter before him.

You will be disappointed" Gilbert said
dryly.
What did he say? Tell me, please"
"Well-he laughed"'
Laughed"
Yes Laughed so heartily that l was

Stella sank back among the cushions.

haughtily..
