held the English pleasure seekers from
their once favorite haunt. and in this
early evening hour the bullock wagons
had not as yet begun their journeyings
to and from the residential quarter to the
bazaar, and the road was pleasantly
quiet and peaceful. Hitherto Beatrice
had kept her thoroughbred at a constant
and exhausting canter. but here, against
her resolution. she pulled up to a walk

pines blow gently and caressingly against
her hot cheeks.

her companion. 1T is. perhaps. a very
brief moment. but 1T is unclouded. We
are just glad and happy to be alive in
such lovely world and all the outward
circumstances which make our lot hard
and bitter are forgotten. Great and little

feel like children to whom the past and
future is nothing and the present every

glossy coat with her gloved hand. Then
she remembered that she would never

her. 1t was his horse. and this was their
last ride together. though he did not
know it. She was going to tell the truth
or something like the truth-now. No.
not now-later on. when they turned
homeward. Then she would tell him and
IL would he well Ruf there n

The moment was hers-a happy moment,

never known in her barren. profitless life.
She was not going to throw IT away un-

made no attempt to lead the conversation
out of the usual channels.
1t was the first time that they were
alone together since the eventful evening
at the club. and In the Intervening week
enough had happened to give them food
for intercourse. BY mutual consent the

warm-hearted interest in Lois recovery.
She had sustained little more than a Sc

his attentions. as though striving to atone
for an injury he had unwittingly done
her. The accident had also served to
deepen his interest in Adam Nicholson.
