Marv's letter as a true lover would
have done, but instead, he wrote
You were right to DOUBT me, Mary.

He walked down to the village post
office and posted the letter himself.
Then he turned away and walked
slowly down a lane, his head bent In
thought. trying to picture the future
He Slept badly that night for think
ing of Mary. He Degan to feel that
though they were not to be husoanu
and wife. he did not want to lose her.
He had cut himself adrlft and ne
found the waters were bitter IN whlch
he was struggling so helplessly-
Next morning he thought of her
reading the letter. and he felt he would
have given anything had he not written
it or been able to regain possession OF
it ere it reached her hands
His thoughts were interrupted by the
arrival Of a servant with telegram
Tearing il open, a groan broke from
his lips as he read:
Come at once. Mary in--Lidiard.
And in that moment Denis Hewitt
knew He loved Mary; he wanted her
more than anything else in the world.
And she was going from him, she was
suffering because of him, and without
doubt his letter had been the climax
He seemed to wait an eternity out
side the door OF the room. He aid not

riOusly and he scarcely saw Mr.. and
Mrs. Lidiard as they came out Of the
room. Then he entered. his gaze rivet-
ed on the thin. white face framed in
a mass of goldbrOwn hair.
Mary he said huskily. "Oh, Maryl"
Then he stumbled forward and knelt
at the bedside holding her frail hand
and gazing beseechin-ly into her eyes.

Then that nalf wistful. half puzzled
expression came into her eyes as she
gazed at him. and he WINGED.
Still holding her hand he rose to his
feet, and as he did so. his gaze fell on
the table alongside the bed. On it lay
some letters. unopened, and one of
them was his.
His eyes suddenly lit up with joy
and he turned to Mary with such a
TRANSPORTED face that she watched him
with wonder.

THE LETTER
(By E. Newton Rungey0

n EMS HEWITT was Longing IN
gracefully. but comfortably in
- a deck-chair. under the droop-
ing branches of a blossom-laden chest
nut tree, when Mary Liduard crossed
the lawn, swinging putter in her right
hand.
Through has half closed eyes, Hewitt
gazed at her critically, and he could
not help admitting that she made the
fairest of pictures. The breeze caught
her curls and with the sunlight turned
the mimic a shimmering sea of gold.
simple, well cut gown of some SOFT
white material showed the grace OF her
figure as she walked Her eyes shOne
with an unmis taxable light as their
gaze fell on Hewitt
Tell me again that you love me.
Denis" she whispered.
I love you, dear" he answered, his
voice trembling.
I shall always be hearing you say
that she said in low ones later, as
she turned to go into the house to pack
for a few days visit at friends house.
You'll write to me often, won't you.
Denis?"
Hewitt WINGED as though he had
been stabbed. Several times he had
thought that while she was away he
would write and tell her the truth
that he did not love her. But he was
too much of a coward to tell her to her
face and see those deep, blue eyes grow
heavy with misery.
Somehow it seemed quite a natural
thing for a man to love a woman and
she not to love him: but for a woman to
love a man who did not care in the
same way for her-it seemed nothing
short of brutal.
At length. in one of her letters, Mary
wrote the following paragraphs;
Il can't help thinking. Denis, that
your letters seem as though they are
written with an effort, and it makes
me fear that what I have thought be
fore is really true. 1t seems dreadful
to doubt you. dear, but it would be
more dreadful to let matters reach an
irrevocable stage and then to doubt.
I'VE have always been chums, Denis,
and now we are promised for some
thing deeper than friendship. Can you
say from the bottom of your heart that
this is what you desire?
Perhaps 1 am wrong in doubling
you; but if I am not, oh! please do not
hesitate to say so. Don't think you
will he doing the right and honorable
thing by masking your real feelings"
Denis Hewitt read through these
para graphs several times. and he knew
Mary well enough to realize that they
every word was like a wound to her.
How had she guessed2 He had tried
so hard to be all he was supposed to
be
He wanted her and yet there was
missing. and she had recog-
alone, he was sure they would have
come together naturally. And now
well, Mary was right.
He felt so ashamed of himself, so
ignominious. He would have given
the world to have been able to answer
