She tried to stammer out her
errand; but the sudden pallor, the
starting eyes-the whole shocked. al
most terrified appearance of the man

got the surprise. the incredulity of
mind with which he would naturally
hail her presence at his door in a
place so remote and of such inacces-
sibility. She only saw that his hands
had gone up and out at sight of her,
and to her sensitive soul, this looked
like a rebuff which, while expected,
choked back her words and turned her
family flushing cheek scarlet.
'It is not l." burst from her lips in
incoherent disclaimer of his possible
thought. 'I'm Just a messenger. Your
father"

passed across his eyes. How" Then
his glance, following hers, fell on the
letter which she now remembered to
hold out.
It's the copy of a telegram" she
tremblingly explained, as he continued
to gaze at it without reaching to take
it. you could not be found in De-

Then he woke to the situation. He
took the letter, and drawing her in
side. shut the door while he read it..
She. trembling very much, did not
dare to lift her eyes to watch its eff
feet. but she was conscious that his
back and not his face was turned her
way. and that the moment was the
stilIest one of her whole life.
Then there came a rafting noise as
he crushed the letter In his hand.
Tell me what this means" said he,
but he did not turn his head as he
made this request.
Your father must do that" was her
gentle reply. Il was only to deliver
the letter. came-we came-thus
early. because We thought-we feared
we should get no opportunity later to
find you here alone. There seem to

He had wheeled about. His face
confronted hers. 1t wore a look she
did not understand and which made
him seem stranger TO her Involun-
