went on, lightly-"as a psychological
fact, | am very different at night from
anything I ever am in daylight. And
tomorrow morning, when you meet
me with Aunt Pat in the garden, if
you should refer to this meeting
shall never appear to you again, not
even through the Gate of Dreams.
Goodnight"
Goodnight"
I clasped her hand for an instant,
and she met my eyes with a laughing
challenge.
when shall I see you again-this
you that is so different from the you
Of daylight"
She caught her hand away and
turned to 60, but paused at the steps.
When the new moon hangs, like a
little feather, away out yonder, shall
be looking at it from the stone seat on
the bluff; do you think you can re-
member?'
She vanished away into the wood to-
ward st. Agatha's. I started to fol-
low, but paused. remembering my
promise, and sat down and yielded
myself to the thought of her. Practical
questions of how she managed to slip
out of st. Agatha's vexed me for a
moment; but in my elation of spirit /
dismissed them quickly enough. I
would never again entertain an evil
thought of her; the money she had
taken from Gillespie I would in some
way return to him and make an end
of any claim he might assert against
her by reason of that help. And I re-
solved to devote myself diligently to
the business of protecting her from
her father. I was even impatient for
him to return and resume his black
guardly practice OF intimidating two
helpless women, that might deal with
him in the spirit Of his own despicable
actions.
My heart was heavy as I thought of
him, but lighted my pipe and found
at once gentler glory in the stars
Then as I stared out upon the lake
I saw a shadow gliding softly away
from the little promontory where St..
Agatha's pier lights shone brightly. It
was canoe, I should have known
from it's swift steady flight if I had not
seen the paddler's arm raised once,
twice, until darkness fell upon the tiny
argosy like a cloak. I ran out on the
pier and stared after it, but the silence
of the lake was complete. Then I
crossed the strip of wood to St. Aga
tha's, and found lima and the garden
er faithfully patrolling the grounds.
HAS any one left the buildings to-
night?"
"No one."
Sister Margaret hasn't been out
