 And SO matters ran on and on. Tt needed but a spark to ignite the pow. der. 1t would have seemed. and yet A vast cataclysm of nature only brought about the explosion. He had never touched her except to take her hand. Her person had been as in- violate to him as If she had been star above his head. And she had been careful under no oircumstances to allow more than that. Their hands had clasped often. Indeed. with every Good night" and Good morning" the circuit of touch was made and broken. but that was all They usually parted at night on the sands where she had first been thrown ashore.

If he had known for a moment how she thought of him, the great passion in both hearts would have esefieaped every obstacle and In a moment he would have had her in his arms We'll, indeed. 1t is that the power to read human hearts is re- served for the Mind which towers above human passions because 1t Is divine.
 And so these two while drawing together as inevitably and as irresist- io'y as the tide comes in were still kept apart Their feelings were in SO iution as 1t were. A precipitant must oe thrown into the atmosphere in which they moved and lived and had 'nelr being to disclose them to each other.
 on one certain balmy night, they parted as usual. Was the hand clasp 'ohger, was the glance with which he peered at her under the moonlight nofe self revealing than usual? Did something in his own breast call to .ue surface that which beat around aef heart? At any rate. it was with great effort that she tore herself away at last and for the first time in .'s He, although she knew it not, he ,o''owed after her with few noise ,e's steps only to stop, his face white - 'ne moonlight. drops of sweat bead "s ms brow in the violence of his saofN Having transgressed even to shat degree the law ha turned in-
