So David had sold the house-her

upon it, for hadn't he built it for her

he had yielded too often to her and
quarrel would never be made up.
Matte had not given in, and, in
stead, had looked every day for signs
of relenting on David's part, but the
latter kept his word and refused to
make the slightest overture for peace.
His silence nearly broke Matte s
heart. but she told herself that he had
ceased to love her and didn't want to
make up their quarrel, and this idea
taking firm root in her head she
steeled herself against the pain in her
heart and tried Intellectually to forget
him.
no word came from Matte. decided that
she did not love him, and although 1t
brought him much pain. he tried to
comfort himself with the thought that
when it was too late. But the belief
that Matte did not love him did not
keep him from loving her. and their
occasional meetings caused him much
suffering.
At last these encounters became un-
| bearable, and he decided to go far
away from the girl he found himself
loving more and more. A wooden sign
of "for sale" was placed in front of
the little house he had built with such
loving care and he tried TO ma forget
fulness in the city.
Months slipped past and the house
remained unsold, and Matte had begun
| to feel secure in the thought that per-
haps David would not be able to find a
purchaser for it, but her tortured heart
was made to bear still more pain when
her visitor told her of its sale.
For some time after her caller left
Matte sat as in a stupor. When at
last she reused herself it was to has
tily decide that she would make one
more visit "a farewell one to the
house of her hopes and dreams.
Down the road she went, all unSee-
ingly, for the mist in her eyes blurred
everything around her, and it was not
until a dull roar of thunder broke the
silence that she realized 1t had grown
very dark and that there was going to
be a storm. Frightened, she tried to
hurry. The woods on both sides of her
doomed dark and forbidding. Again
there came a muffied roar of thunder:
then another, this time louder and
much nearer Terror lent speed to her
feet and she reached the house just as
the storm burst in all it's fury.
The house protected her from the
storm that was raging outside. but in
her heart was a still wilder storm. and
it ragged with still greater fury. The
girl buried her head in her arms and
sobbed.
Peal upon peal of thunder woke the
echoes. Flash after flash of lightning
coursed Zigzag through the heavens,
and in the tumult the sobbing girl did
