"One--two-" he counted delibef-

Her eyes opened. She turned one
shuddering glance below, then her
resolution broke. She clutched his
arm and broke into wild applications.

sneering laugh. Nov we'll see eff We

and loyalty to her mother, and she
said this over and over to herself in
varying phrases:
You can't! No matter how much
you love him. you can't! His father
deliberately ruined your mothers life
your own mother! It's bad enough
to love him-you can't help that. But
you can help marrying him. You
would hate yourself. You can never
kiss him again, or feel his arms around
you. You can't touch his hand. You
mustn't even see him. Not if it breaks
your heart-as your mothers heart
was broken!"

way that ambled from the road
through a track of tall oaks and pines,
scarce more than a bridle-path. wind
ing aimlessly through bracken-strewn
depths SO dense that ever the wild
roses had not found them. In her
childish hurts she had always fed to
the companionship OF the trees. She
had known them every one-the black
gum and pale dogwood and gnarled
hickory, the prickly-balled button
wood" the lowly mulberry and the
majestic red oak and walnut. They
had seemed friendly and plying coun-

intertwined. Now, with the rain weep

hard for US? Millions of other people
love each other and nothing separates
them like this!"
Shirley's warn breath made a little
fog against the star-eyed moss. She
was scarcely conscious of her vet and
clinging clothing, and the soaked
strands Of her hair. She was 30
wrapped in her d~esolation that she no
longer heard the sound OF the perse-

the bushes-parting now to a hurried
step that fell almost without sound on
the spongy forest soil. She started
up suddenly to see Valiant before her.
