CHAPTER XXV. The Rivals. :.

Edith's life and vitality seemed to Chester to extend to the very tips of her gloves and the tiny points Of her little French bpttines. It seemed to animate the fur of her boa which sometimes blew against his cheek. and the very hem of her skirt, as 1t swept above the tips of the greening grass, seemed to him to do it se71ti- ent1y.
 Chester, in this rapturous mood, never realized until after many years passed how much he told her of his thoughts and fancies, his joys and sufferings. All that was best in. him he poured forth lavishly, completely oblivious of all else except that they ere children together" and she was listening to his words. He went way back to his earliest childhood, and descanted wisely the sensi- tiveness of children. And she was all understanding and sympathy. They wapdered farther and farther about the park, and if the wind at times blew somewhat chill, neither Of them knew it, for the warm blood was coursing thorugh their veins, and all was light, and life, and love.
 Yet not word of love was spok- en. It seemed to Chester that by her proposition, Edith had raised a tacit barrier. It would be absurd for children to talk of love. They were children playing together. He trefn- b1ed for fear of breaking the spell The only way he could judge her emotions was by the effect of his many tales. Some were grave, c some were gay. but they were more apt to have a serious tinge t1tstn otherwise. He wanted her to know all about him, what sort of boy he really was.
 Chester was telling her one day of sorrow of his early childhood.

I can see him perfectly ROW, but I haven't the renotest re- collection of who he really was At Elizabethtown we stopped at a candy store where he bought a paper bag full of candy. Upon a somewhat sticky investigation I concluded that he had bought me some of every kind of, candy in the world. I thought him exceedingly generous, but, ac- cording to my youthful code of ethics I might accept the present from any one with whom I was permitted to drive. All grown-up people were rolling in wealth. Candy had hither- to been rare treat to me, because my parents were too wise to allow me to indulge, and I didn't know oae kind from another. As we drove away again I felt a strong impulse to share my treasure of sweets with the two women, but, with that ditH- dence incident to childhood, I could

What a selfish little pig they must have thought mel T re- fused to eat my caramels, and they thought I was sullxy.

 Chester felt foolish after com p1etipg this recital. It seemed some how so futile, so inadequate to ex put into it. He turned to Edith, and her eyes were full of tears.

 Chester's heart gave an exultant throb, and it was only by a supreme effort that he resisted the impulse to gather her into his arms. Was there ever such charm, such insight, such sympathy?
 She told him quaint little stories of her, school days and her, distorted chi1d's notion of how things really were in the great roNnd world that dropped off on all sides at the ho .: zon,-how glad she was that she at ways seemed to be near the middle
