Ex-Governor Broward first attracted

It was customary in bygone times

state occasions to carry the shields
from the hall to Blackfriars, which
journey was made by way of the
river, and then on embarkatlon the
shields were hung over the barge's

Emerson. with the glow still upon
him, felt q deep contentment which he
did not trouble to analyze. It Ia
been said that two opposite impulses
may exist side by side In a mans mind,
like two hostile armies which have
campsd close together In the night,
unrevealed to each other until the
morning. To Emerson the dawn had
not yet come. He had no thought OF
disloyalty to Mildred, but, after his
fashion, took the feeling Of the mo-
men unrefectively. His mood was
averse to thought, and, moreover. the
darkness forced him to give instant at
tention to his path. While the waters
Of the bay out to his right showed a
ghostly gray, objects beneath the bluff
where he walked were cloaked in i'm
penetrable shadow. The air was damp
with the breath OF coming rain, n at
rare intervals he caught glimpses Of
the torn edges of clouds hurrying
ahead of a wind that was yet unfelt.

suspecting that he had stumbled
into a trap. He reflected that

might plausibly claim that he had been
mistaken for a marauder. He de-

It may have been the unusual ardor
of his gaze that warmed her cheeks
and brought her eyes back from the
world outside. At any rate. she turned
flashing him q startled glance that
caused his pulse to leap anew. her
ewes widened and d flush spread slowly
upward to her hair, then her lbs
drooped, as if weighted by unwonteo
shyness. and rising silently, she went
past him to the plano. Never before
had she surprised that look in his eyes,
and at the realization a wave or con-
fusion surged over her. h strove to
calm herself through her music, Wnich
shielded while it gave expression TO
her mood, and neither spoke as the
evening shadows crept in upon them.
But the girls exaltation was short
lived: the thought came that Boyds
feeling was but transitory; he was nor
the sort to burn lasting incense before
more thar one shrine. Nevertheless, at
his momen he was hers. and In the
ioy of thai certainty she let the mo-
ments slip.
He stopped her at last, ano tney

together half dreamily, as If upon the
bosom of some great current that bore
them into strange regions which tney

For a long time they talked, so COM
pletely in concord that for the most
part their voices were low n their
sentences SO incomplete that they would
have sounded incoherent and foolish to
other ears. They were reused finally by
the appreciation that it had grown very
late and a storm was brewing. Boyd
rose. and going to the door, saw n
the sky was deeply overcast, rendering
the night as dark as in a far lower
