ooh, nOnsense!" Margaret tried to
laugh lightly, but it was a failure.
NO, it's very far from nonsense"
he replied, almost sternly. Since
you've spoken first, I'm going to tell
you several things. One is, that I &C
cepted the syndicates offer for the
Nickel Trust so as to be free to take
any chance that might turn up. It
had been open some time, but I &C.
cepted it on the day I heard of your
engagement. That's a big thing. An
other is, that I played a regular trick
on LOgotheti so as to come and see
you here. I deliberately asked him
to dine with ne last night in London.
I went right home, wrote a note to
him, antedated for yesterday after
noon, to put him off, and I left it to
be sent at the right hour. Then I drove
to the station, and here I am. You
may call that pretty sharp practice,
but believe ais fair in love and war,
and I want you to understand that I
think so. There's one thing more. I
won't give up the hope Of making you
marry me while you're alive and am,
not if you're an old woman, and I'll

Nevertheless, it happened. For a

'Ah, I see, You went for a little

Mrs. Rusbmore could hardly have
misunderstood me-" said Van Torp,
gathering the reins of himself. so to
say, for anything that might happen.
NO But it sounds differently when
you say it yourself"
That was just what I said, any

TT was straightforward. at all

the faintest laugh in her tone as she
spoke the last words
TITS true, right enough, though

THE effect on Mrs. Rushmore was

Margaret said more lightly She

That's very kind of her, I'm sure,

less, the more think of it."
We'll, I'm sorry, but suppose it's
natural, since you've concluded to
marry him, and it can't be helped I
wasn't going to say anything against
him, and I wouldn't say anything for
him, so there was nothing to do but
to explain, which I did. I'm sorry
you think I did wrong, but I should
give the same answer again"
Mrs. Rushmore thinks that KOnstan-
tin is a designing foreigner because
he's a Greek man of business, and
that you are perfection because you
are an American business man"
IF I'm perfection, that's not the
real reason" said Van Torp, snatch
ing at his first chance to steer out of
the serious current: but Margaret did
not laugh.
You are not perfection. nor l eth

famous in your way, and people call
me celebrated in mine; but so far as
the rest is concerned We are just two
ordinary human beings, and If we are
going to be friends we must under

as we can"
I'll try to do my share" said Van
Torp, taking her tone
VERY well. I'll do mine. I began
by thinking you were amusing, when
I first met you. Then you frightened
me last winter, and I hated you. Not
only that, I loathed you-there's no
word strong enough for what I felt.
When I saw you in the audience, you
almost paralyzed my voice"

to see what he would do. She was
ashamed of it, and a little disguised
with herself. The part of her that
was Margaret Dome felt the disgust;
the part that was COrdOva felt the
shame, and each side of her nature
was restrained at a critical moment
Yet when the Good Friday" music
began, she was thinking Of Van Torp
and he was unconscious of her pres
ence.
1t could not last, and soon she, too,
was taken up into the artificial para
disc of the master-musician and borne
along in the gale of golden wings, and
there was no passing of time till the

stars; and all those whom nature had
gifted to hear rightly. took with them

town as the crowd scattered on foot
and in carriages. 1t was warm. and
there was no moon, and one could
smell the dust for many people were
moving in the same direction, though
some stopped at almost every house
and went it, and most of them were
beginning to talk in quiet tones.
Margaret stepped aside from the
road and entered a narrow lane, and
Van Torp followed her in silence.
This leads out to the fields" she
said Il must breath the fresh air.
Do you mind?"
"On the contrary"
He said nothing more, and she did
not speak, but walked on without
haste, dilating her ostrils to the
sweet smell of grass that reached her
already. In a little while they had
left the houses behind them. and they
came to a gate that led into a field.
Van Torp was going to undo the
fastening, for there was no lock
NO" she said, Eve won't go
through. I love to lean on a gate"
She rested her crossed arms on the
upper rail and Van Torp did the
same, careful that his elbow should
not touch hers, and they both stared
into the dim, sweet-scented meadow.
He felt her presence now and It al
most hurt him; he could hear his
SLOW pulse in his ears, hard and regu-
lar. She did not speak, but the night
was so still that he could hear her
breathing, and at last he could not
bear the warm silence any longer.
Whit were you thinking about?"
he asked, trying to speak lightly
She waited, or hesitated, before she
answered him.
You" she said. after a time.
He moved involuntarily, and then
drew a little further away from her,
as he might have withdrawn a foot
from the edge OF a precipice, out of
common caution. She was aware of
his slight change of position without
turning her eyes.
