CHAPTER XII.


In the Shadow Of the Mill.

On cloudy, bleak days Hetty Castle
ton always felt depressed.
Leslie was to return from the wilds
on the following day. Early in the
morning Booth had telephoned to in

long walk with him before luncheon.

could not afford to miss the morning

self, it's hard to break OF suddenly"
Il will be ready at eleven" she said,
and was instantly surprised to find
that her voice rang with new life, new
interest. The grayness seemed to lift
from the view that stretched beyond
the window; she even looked for the
sun In her eagerness.
1t was then that she knew why the
world had been bleaker than usual.
even in its cloak Of gray.
A little before eleven she set out
briskly to intercept him at the gates.
Unknown to her, Sara sat in her
window, and viewed her departure
with gloomy eyes. The world also
was gray for her.
They came upon each other unex-
pectedly at sharp turn in the ave-
nue.. Hetty colored with q sudden
rush Of confusion, and had all she
could do to meet his eager, happy
eyes as he stood over her and pro-
claimed his pleasure in jerky. awk-
ward sentences. Then they walked
on together. a strange shyness at.
tending them. She experienced the
faintness Of breath that comes when
the heart il filled with pleasant
alarms. As for Booth, his blood sang.
He thrilled with the Joy Of being near
her. Of the feel Of her all about him,
Of the delicious feminine appeal that
made her 90 wonderful to him. He
wanted to crush her In his arms, to
keep her there forever, to exert all
of his brute physical strength 20 that
she might never again be herself but
a part Of him.
They uttered commonplace. The
spell was on them. It would lift. but
for the moment they were powerless
to struggle against II. At length he
saw the color fade from her cheeks:
her eyes were able to meet his with.
out the look in them that all men love.
Then he seemed to get his feet on the
ground again. and . strange, ineffably
sweet sense Of calm took possession
of him.
Il must paint you all over again."

of her remarks. Just a. you are

He looked as though he expected
nothing. He could only sit back and
wonder why the deuce Sara meant by
behaving like this.
They returned at seven. Dinner
was unusually merry. Sara appeared
to have recovered from her indispo-
sition; there was color in her cheeks
and life In her smile. He took 1t to
be an omen of good fortune. and was
immeasurably confident. The soft.
cool breezes of the starlit night blew
visions Of impending happiness across
his. lively imagination; famed his i'm
patience with gentle ardor; filed him
with suppressed signs of contentment.
and made him willing to forego the
delight Of conquest that he might live

its thrills.
