was so little time to live IN the world
and every second counted. Healthy
of body, wholesome of soul, innocent
and ardent in her newborn happiness,
she could scarcely endure the rush of
golden moments lost in an impetuous
bath, in twisting up her bright hair, in
the quick knotting of a ribbon, the clink
of a buckle on knee and shoe.
Then, as she slipped down the stairs
into the darkened hall, trepidation
seized her, for she heard his step.
He came swinging along the hallway;
she stood still, trembling. He came up
quickly and took her hands; she did
not move; his arm eneircled her waist;
he lifted her head; 1t lay back on his
shoulder, and her eyes met his.
All day together" he was saying;
and her soul leaped TO meet his words,
but she could not speak.
He held her at arms length, laughing
a little troubled.
Mystery of mysteries" he said,
under his breath; there is some
blessed Heaven-directed mistake in
this. Is there, sweetheartY'
Ne" she said.
and if there was?'
Can you ask?'
"Then come to breakfast, heart of

day left-until tomorrow. Listenl

rat in the pantry. Can we endure a
steward in Eden?o
"Only during breakfast" she said,
laughing Il smell the wheaton flap
jacks, and, oh, am famishod!"
There have been other breakfasts
Barmeeide breakfasts compared with
their first crust broken in love.
But they ate=oh, indeed, they ate
everything before them. from flapiaeks
to the piles of little, crisp trout And
they might have called for more, but
there came, on tiptoe, the steward,
bowling, presenting telegram on
tray of silver; and Crawford's= heart
stopped, and he stared at the bit of
paper as though it concealed eoiled
snake
She, too, suddenly apprehensive, sat
rigid, the smile dying out in her eyes;
and when he finally took the envelope
and tore it open, she shivered.
"Grawford, Sycamore Club:
s.Ophir has consolidated with
Steel Plank. You take charge of
London office. Make arrange
ments to catch steamer leaving
week from tomorrow. Gar

tonight.
JAMES J. CRAWFORD"
He sat staring at the telegram; she,
vaguely apprehensive for the safety
of this new happiness of hers, elasped
her hands tightly in her lap and waited
Any answer, SIR asked the steward.
Crawford took the offered telegram
blank and mechanically wrote:
Constructions received Will
expect you and CARBIDE to-
night.
JAMES CRAWFORD. +"
She sat, twisting her fingers on her
knees, watching him in growing appre-
hension. The steward took the tele-
gram.

lilies moved like Il shadow over the
shining sands The tall hemlocks walled
the river with palisades unbroken; the
calm water stretched away into the
forests sombre depths, barred here
and there by dusty sunbeams.
Over them, in tie highest depths OF
the unclouded blue, lowered an eagle,
suspended from mid-zenith. Under
them the shadow of their craft swept
the yellow gravel.
Knee to knee, vis-a-vis, wrapped to
their souls in the enchantment of each
other, sat the entranced voyagers.
Their rods lay idle beside them; life was
serious just then for people who stood
on the threshold of separation.
Il simply shall depart this life if you
go tomorrow, she said, looking at
him.
The unfeigned misery in his face
made her smile adorably, but she would
not permit him to touch her.
See to what you have brought met
she said ~ III utterly unable to live
without you. And now what are going
to do with me?o
Her eyes were very tender. He caught
her hand and kissed it, and laid it
against his face.

amused.

chat thread of a brook leads TO it.
He pointed off to the westward,
where through the forest a stream,
scarcely wider than the canoe, flowed
deep and silent between its mounds of
moss.
He picked up the paddle and touched
the blade to the water; the canoe swung
westward.
"Where are you taking me?a she
asked.
But the canoe was already in the
narrow stream, and he was laughing
recklessly, setting-pole poised to swing
round the short turns.
IF we turned back now" she said,
at would be sunset before we reached
the club"
"What do we care?" he laughed.
Look !"
Without warning, a yellow glory
broke through the trees, and the
canoe shot out into vast, flat country,
drenched with the rays of the sinking
sun.
Blue woods belted the distance; all in
front Of them was deep, moist meadow
land, carpeted with thickets of wild
iris, through which the stream wound
in pools of gold.
The beauty of it held her speeches.;
the spell was upon him, too, and he
sat motionless, the water dripping from
his steel-tipped setting-pole in drops of
fire.

A deep, sweet happiness awoke her
ere the earliest robin ehirped. Never
since the first pink light touched Eden
had such rose day dawned for any
maid on earth
She awoke in love; her enchanted
eyes Enclosed on world she had never
known.
Unashamed, she held out her arms
to the waking world and spoke her
lovers name aloud Then the young
blood leaped in her, and her eyes were
like stars after a rain.
