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-
sitlon; there was color in her cheeks
and life in her smile. He took 1t to
be an omen of good fortune. and was
UNNECESSARILY confident. The soft,
cool breezes of the starlit night blew
visions of impending happiness across
his lively Imagination; famed his inn
patience with gentle ardor; filled him
with suppressed signs of contentment,
and made him willing to forego the
delight of conquest that he might live
the longer in serene anticipation of
its thrills.
Ten o'clock came. He arose and
stretched himself in sort of ecstasy.

His heart was humping loudly, his
senses swan. Walking to the veran-
dab rail he looked out across the
moonlit sound, then down at the Sc
lected nook over against the garden
wall-spot to be immortalized!-and
actually shiYered. In ten minutes
time, or even less, she would be down
there in his arms! Exquisite medita-
tions!
He turned to her with an engaging
smile. In which she might have dis
cerned a prophecy. and asked her to
come with him for a stroll along the
wall. And 80 he cast the die.
Hetty sent a swift, appealing look
at Sara's purposely averted face. Les

ed Its meaning.

quickly. "You won't need a wrap" he
added, and in spite of himself his
voice trembled. OF course she wouldn't
need a wrap!

Sara, rising. She deliberately avoid
ed the look in Hettys eyes. You will

She stood in the doorway and
watched them descend to the terrace,
a sphinx-like smile on her lips. Hetty
seemed very tall and erect, as one 60
ing to meet a soldiers fate.
Then Sara entered the house and
Sat down to wait.
A long time after a door closed
stealthily in a distant part OF the
house--the sun-parlor door, she knew
by direction.
A few minutes later an upstairs
door creaked on Its hinges. Some one
had come In from the mellow night,
and some one had been left outside.
Many minutes passed, She sat
there at her fathers writing table
and waited for the other to come In.
At last quick, heavy footballs sounded
on the tiled floor outside and then
came swiftly down the hall toward
the small. remote room In which she

CHAPTER xI.
In the Shadow of the Min.

The next 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 If she did not want to go for a
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
l sha'n't see as much of you as I'd
like" he explained rather wistfully.
Three is a crowd, you know. I've
got so used to having you all to my
self, it's hard to break OFF 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 a sharp turn in the ave-
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 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 so wonderful to him. He
wanted to crush her In his arms. to
keep her there forever, to exert all
of his brute physical strength so that
she might never again be herself but
a part of him.
They uttered commonplaces. The
spell was on them. 1t would lift, but
for the moment they were powerless
to struggle against it. 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 a strange, ineffably
sweet sense OF calm took possession
Of him.
II must paint you all over again."
he said, suddenly breaking in on one
OF her remarks. Just as you are

drawing her skirt away to reveal a
shapely foot in an American walking

He smiled and gave voice to a new
thought. by Jove. how much better

the kind they wear in London!"
