The cattlemen aboard the big trans.
Atlantic liner looked with disfavor
upon the parties of saloon passengers
who come between decks to watch
them feed and water the steers. They
resented the intrusion, and the evil
dent curiosity of these beings from a
world wholly alien from their expert

Perhaps it was the look upon
Mayne's face that struck the girl who
had fingered behind.
"You-you don't like us to come
here?" she asked timidly.
He shrugged his shoulders. IF the
sight of our poverty and mental labor
affords you satisfaction-yes, madam. -
You speak like gentleman" said
the girl, looking at him curiously,
Il used to be one" he answered in
differently.
She still stood looking at him. He
had refined face. but an embittered
expression on it. He was perhaps
thirty years of age. She looked at
his hands; they were white, but hard
ened by toll Undoubtedly he had
been a gentleman.
Mayne, for the first time, raised his
eyes to hers. She saw now that
there was furtive expression in
them, as though the man wished to
hide something's IL he we're

with the throbbing screw and plash

the girl softly, placing her hand upon
his sleeve.
Not when the wish remains" he
answered. But when hope is gone"

saw her face momentarily distorted,

the solution Of his problem came to
him at last Why should he make
two lives unhappy Tiff Mary did not
care for him He would be as frank
with her as she had always been

The butler. did not seem to hear
him. Ralph walked into the parlor
and sat down. His heart was beating
fast, and there was an undefinable
sense of change. Ralph thought the
butler had seemed less courteous than
formerly. The furniture was covered,
some time. Ralph wondered-he was
conscious of something which added
to the pain of the approaching inter
view. When it was all over he must
hurry home to his folks in Albany.

Mary stood before him. She had
come in so quietly that Ralph had
not heard her There was a strange
look in her eyes. She shrank away
from him, staring hard.
Il happened to be home" Ralph
heard her saying.
But, Mary-Mary-"
"You have not heard?"
Heard what?'
"Sit down." she answered calmly.
II see you do not know. l am poor
woman. Ralph. My father was in
volved in the crash of the banks last
month. l couldn't write-I didn't know
what you would think"
The young mans heart sank. his
hopes ebbed, vanished. He seemed
plunged into an abyss from which
there was no escape. He understood
the GOODNESS Of her greeting now. She
was prepared to release him. She
thought he would not want to marry
her when her father was bankrupt.
And that was what made his plans
impossible. How could he ask her
to release him now? The face of
Juanita shone upon the background Of
his spiritual vision.
Mary, it doesn't make any differ
ence," he heard himself saying.
She was staring at him. ANY diff
ference?" she echoed
II mean-did you suppose that 1
would not want to marry you because
you are poor?"
She was still staring at him. She
rose and put her hands upon his shout

"Ralp, you-you have met another
girl you care for. haven't you?" she
asked frankly.
Why, the light Of understanding in
her eyes was amazingly sweet.
Shamefacedly he nodded

she whispered. Il know it was wicked,
Ralph. But IL loved him and l felt
that you didn't love me and were too
honorable to tell me so. You see,
your letters had grown different. And
I knew that we were not suited to-
gether. And as soon as-as father re-
covers from the blow we are going
somewhere upon our honeymoon
Ralph caught her by the hands.
Mary" he cried. You are the wisest
woman in the world, and the second
dearest. And do you know where
your honeymoon will be spent? In
New Mexico, at The Miners Rest 1t
