CHAPTER XII.
In the Shadow Of the Mil.

In the Shadow Of the Mill.
The lei day but one was overcast.
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
qUire II she did not want to go for q
long walk with him before luncheon.
The portrait was finished, but he
could not afford to miss the morning
hour with her. He said as much to
her In pressing his invitation.
Tomorrow Leslie will be here and
I sha'n't see a. much Of you rs I'd

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 unsy-
pectedly at a sharp turn in the I'VE
nue.. Hetty colored with a 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 is filed 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 so wonderful to him. He
wanted to crush her in his arms, To
keep her there forever, t exert all

ground again. and a strange, ineffably
sweet sense of calm took possession
