by all MEANS" answered the young
er. and opening the door again the
two older men went out leaving New
bold alone.
But don't quite understand" quer-
led Mr.. Stephan Maitland.
He heard a soft step on the stair
in the hall without; the gentle swish
of a dress as somebody descended
from the floor above. A vision ap-
peared in the doorway. Without
movement In opposition, without
word of remonstrance, without throb
OF hesitation on her part, he took her
in his arms. From the drawing-room
opposite, Mr.. Robert Maitland softly
tiptoed across the hall and closed the
library door, neither of the lovers be-
ing aware of his action.
Often and often they had longed for
each other on the opposite side OF a
door, and now at last the woman was
in the mans arms and no door rose
between them. no barrier kept them
apart any longer. There was no obli-
cation of loyalty or honor, real or i'm
agined. to separate them now. They
had drunk deep of the chalics OF cour-
age, they had drained the cup to the
very bottom. they had shown each
other that though love WAS the great.
est of passions, honor and loyalty were
the most powerful of forces. and now
they reaped the reward OF their abne-
cation and devotion.
At last the woman gave herself up
to him in complete and entire aban-
donment without fear and without re-
preach; and at last the man took what
was his own without the shadow Of
a reservation. She shrank from no
pressure Of his arms. she turned her
face away from no touch Of his lips.
They two had proved their right to
surrender by their ability to conquer.
Speech was hardly necessary be-
tween them, and II was not for long
time that coherent words came. Little
murmurs of endearment. little pas
sionatc whispers of a beloved name
these were enough then.
When he could find strength to deny
himself a little and to hold her at
arms length and look at her. he found
her paler. thinner and more delicate
than when he had seen her In the
mountains. She had on some witching
creation of pale blue and silver; he
didn't know what 1t was; he didn't
