Anson had tried to stamp out his
passion for pretty Celia, but now-to-
day-his heart was as bitter as it had
been twelve years ago.
He came out of the wood with set,
white face, and when he reached the
little white house he paused before the
gate. Celia was gone-she was married
and Della was left. He would go In
and talk to Della Long-perhaps they
would talk about Celia. s.-.....
When the green shuttered door open
ed. in response to his knock, Anson
Wood entered and then turned toward
the white faced woman who had ad-
mitted him.
1t was Celia Long.
II came to see Delia." said Anson
after awhile.
"Why-you know Della has gone
away-she's married and gone away"
said Celia IN low voice.
Anson leaned heavily against the
wall. II thought 1t was you-you that
was married"
1--WE never thought of getting mar
ried-Delia's always been engaged to
Arthur Smith. They're very happy"
Celia's slender figure was trembling
with emotion.
81 asked you-you didn't deny that
you was engaged to him-Ive heard
you singing that song every day
Anson paused and choked.
81 was very angry that day, Anson-
you don't realize how you spoke to me
and about the song; l sang it for
Delia-she wanted me TO, and she can't
sing note-but she's real sentimental,
and she used to sit on the sofa anc

And what was you thinking about,
CeliaY interrupted Anson, with gruif
tenderness. who was you thinking
about when you was singing the song
every day-was you thinking about Ar
thur Smith and India's coral strand or
Delia-or Who%"
Celia made no reply. Her pretty
head dropped pathetically.
Anson watched her, Gossip had link
ed her name with Arthur Smith. II
Celia was grieving for any man it was
not Arthur Smith! Something beat
heavily within Anson's breast.
"Who was you thinking about, Celia
all these years?" he pleaded tende
ly. His hand touched her shoulder
with sudden confidence.
Celia lifted soft. tear filed eyes to
his, and her shoulder yielded to his
touch.
