When she had read thus far she
closed the letter, and pressing a hand
against her heart as If to still its
throbbing, locked the written pages
IL a drawer of her bureau. She went
downstairs and made Ranston bring

under the rose-arbor, and sat there
through the falling twilight.

CHAPTER xLVIi.
When the Clock struck.

sc ORROW weeps-sorrow sings"
AS Shirley played that night, the
old Russian proverb kept running
through her mind. When she had
pushed the gold harp into it's corner
she threw herself upon a broad sofa
in a feathery drift of chintz cushions
and dropped her forehead in her laced
fingers. A gilt-framed mirror hung
on the opposite wall, out of which her
sorrowful brooding eyes looked with
an expression of dumb and weary
suffering.
Her confused thoughts raced hither
and thither. What would be the end?
Would Valiant forget after time?
Would he marry-Miss Fargo, per-
haps? The thought caused her o stab
Of anguish Yet she herself could not
marry him. The barrier was impas-
sablei
She was still lying listlessly among
the cushions when q step sounded on
the porch and she heard Chilly Lusk's
voice in the hall. With heavy hands
Shirley put into place her disheveled
hair and rose to meet him.
I'm awfully selfish to come to-
night, he said awkwardly: mo doubt
you are tired OUT
She disclaimed the WEAKNESS that
dragged upon her spirits like leaden
weights, and made him welcome with
her usual cordiality. She was, in
fact. relieved at his coming. AT
Damory Court, the night of the ball,
when she had come from the garden
with her lips thrilling from Valiant's
kiss. she had suddenly met his look.
1t had seemed to hold startled real
ization that she had remembered with
remorseful compunction. Since
that night he had not been at Rose
wood.
Ranston had lighted a pine knot in
the fireplace. and the walls were
shuddering with crimson shadows.
her hand was shielding her eyes, and
as she stroye to fill the gaps in their
somewhat spasmodic conversation
with the trivial hnpersonal things
tnat belonged to their old intimacy.
the tiny fiickering flames seemed to
be darting unfriendly fingers pluck
ing at her secret. Leaning from her
nest OF cushions she thrust the poker
INTO the glowing resinous mass till
sparks whizzed up the chimney's
black NAV in a torrent.
