 she with sudden emotion. "I did no

 blue eyes filled. She dashed an impa

 Dunne. too. was all remorse anC
 amazed surprise. Kathryn, he exclaimed again
 but this time in the deep tendernes: | of serious self-reproach. How can
 have hurt youe"
 He had reached for her hand. But
 she withdrew it.
 By addressing me so familiarl-.' she said. with a quick turn of mood | and mocking toss of the head and | yet her tone had in it something oi
 serious meaning so that Dunne kne- he must not trespass again in this r. gard. and knew also that she had swiftly concealed from him somethin 2 that she had meant him never to g. iu the first place.
 Just then the sputter of a motor cycle far down the river road attracted Dunne's attention. He had left the battlefield for. an hour of delicious : but arrangements had been made for communications of importance So strenuous was the campaign that he might not get out of reach for even single hour
 As he suspected the mOtOr cyclist stopped al the empty motor car. dis mounted and looked aboflt him.
 Here" shouted Dunne. from the hilltop.
 Do you mind if leave you alone for few moments, Miss Moore?" he asked
 Oh. no. wish you would" she stammered. as Dunne turned on her look of reproach. {" I wish you would feel at liberty to do so. Companion ship is more agreeable if there Is some liberty of individual preference ac- corded at all times
 Thank you he said. and dashed down the hillside
 In five minutes he was back again, leap'Hg impatiently up 10 her.
 "Ob." he stammered. "I have to tell you. We have got Tank"
 Got Tank" she murmured in a dazed @ind of way. lifting her hand. and grcped with it uncertainty in the air, while her eyes closed. and q pc culiar blueness appeared on the temples.
 EKclaia, ing h;s dismay. Dnnne caught the swaying figure in his arms. her head dropped help!essly. and then. with al Oh. thank you. did not feel faint she pushed him away from her and doggedly sat upright once more upon the rock. struggling to f. her eyes steadily rpon him. although their gaze wandered most rioJously.
 Funny. wasn't it?" she said. 2. last. passing her hand over her eyes. lt rust bc the altitude. guess"
 Hardy. hut it might have been the climb. C. perhaps" he added play fully, tSe sudden leap from ;hn car"
 You are joking with me" she said. brightening, and 1 deserve il-such weakness. Only fancy, That was it you were sayirc? Something about Tank. wasn't it?"
 Mir. Dunno looked at her search l insly. Her self-control was admir- able. so admirable that it deceived him completely. She had. he thought. l experienced mere moment of dizzi- ] ness. and now in the most natural way l her mind came back to the point of | 
 What was it you were saying about Tank?"
 "Oh.' he answered. exubersntly. '' we have caught him. Isn't that | great?"
 Yes" she said, llstlessly. dubi- ousiy. perhaps it is. I suppose it is. but somehow seem to be thinking of the other side"
 " The other side" expostulated Dunne. There is no other side"
 Through shrewd. calculating lashes. sine looked at him. Don't you think" she asked. in cold. steady voice. that was in It's timbre like that of some great personality Dunne had met but could not quite place Do you really think there is no other side?"
 None at all" answered Dunne. 'toutly offering Der his hand for the iescent of the hill.
 The way of the reformer Is hard. The battling months had dragged themselves into year that to Dunne century long He was beaten md he knew it. Tank was right when le said: You can't send money to all" Dunne had ridden high on the rest of great wave of public senti- nent. Suddenly he found himself 'oised for a plunge into the depths. ie was In the depths now. Depress- nS thoughts hung over him like dis nal halo. Worst of all. financial ruii threatened him. He had made hi. money in the newspaper business
