CHAPTER xiv.-contlnued.

Billy and the Watermelon soon drift
ed away by themselves up a tiny COW
lane, fragrant with sweetbrier. They
wandered up II side by side. like two
children, neither saying thing, con-
tent to be together. At the end OF the
lane they leaned for while on the
pasture bars.
The two stood side by side, their
elbows on the top rail, their hands
before them. They said nothing.
There was nothing to say, just the
night and they two. alone, among the
sweetbriers and the fireflies.
Now and then Billy sighed, uncon-
sciously and happily. A great silence
had enwrapped Billy for the last two
days. a silence in which she was con-
tent to dream and In which words
seemed superfiuous and uncalled for.
Without warning the bushes at her
side parted and a COW with great,
gentle eyes peered out at them, 80

warm and sweet. upon her cheek

the Watermelon.
He felt her slender body, soft and
yielding, nesting against him. smelt
the fragrance OF her curly hair, and
suddenly a great tide OF longing. OF
passion, of desire welled up In him
and choked him. He wanted to crush
her to him, to cover eyes and hail
with kisses, to hold her so tightly that
she would cry for release. All the
ungoverned feelings of the past few
years surged over him and threatened
to carry both forever out Of sight Of
land and decency. But, blindly, moi
knowing what he did, he turned from
her and picked up a stick to hurl a

not as a careless. lazy tramp. taking

Henrietta and Bartlett strolled up

indignation and anger.
II seemed Alphonse had long ago tax

the edge of the woods and slumber.

cigar and was walking slowly back

for the others to return. when a bug

horse shying bit and the general Of
fering his assistance and advice. To
his surprise they had not gone by
moro than three yards. when they
stopped. tied the horse and came back
on foot.

four gathered around him in the light

that was my car. They seemed sur,

my name, gave them my card, and
told them was motoring to Maine

them what they were going to do
about It."
What did they say?" asked Bart

rolled a cigarette.

general. But what l want to know

The two girls slept In one car, Bart

Watermelon lay on the grass on Billy's
side of the car and sought to reason
the thing out, to plan what to do
Alone in the dark, he did not sleep
