to say good night.
AS he threw off his coat in the
bedroom he had chosen for his own,
he felt the hard corner of the Lucille"
in the pocket, and drawing it out, laid
it on the table by the bedside. He
seemed to feel again the tingle Of
his cheek where a curling strand Of
her coppery hair had sprung against it
when her head had bent beside his
own to read the marked lines.
When he had undressed he sat an
hour in the candle-blaze, a dressing
gown thrown over his shoulders, striv-

call to remember her every word and
look and movement. For a breath
her face would flush suddenly before
him, like a live thing; then it would
mysteriously fade and elude him,

gate on the Red Road-the major and
Shirley in lilac muslin by his side
and strobe to meet them. Behind
them Ranston propelled hand-cart
filled with paper bundles from each of
which protruded a bunch of Towering
stems. There was flush in Shirley's
cheek as her hand lay in Valiant's.

drunkards, returned again and again,
between the majors compliments, to
her face.
