Monte turned to look at her. They had
passed through Villefranche, and were
now taking the up grade. The exercise
had flushed her cheeks, giving her back
the color she had lacked in the last few
weeks. Her eyes We're upon the ground
as if she did not dare raise them. Hel
face always seemed younger when one did
not see the eyes. Asleep, she could not
have looked over twenty. He marveled
at how delicately feminine her forehead
and nose We're. And the lips-he could
not look very long at her lips. Warm and
full of curves, they tugged at his heart
They reused desire. Yet, had it been his
blessed privilege to touch them with his
own, he would have been very gentle
about it, A man must needs always be
gentle with her, he thought.
That was why he must not utter the
phrases that burned within. 1t would
only frighten her, and he must see that
she was never frightened again. To him
self he might say as much as he pleased
because she could not hear. He could
repeat to himself over and over again, as
he did now, al love you-I love you
love you"
ALOUD, however, he said only:
"Are you tired?"
She started even at that.

of us.

piled.
1t was the old Monte she heard-the
easier.
"We should cross the border by to-

She quickened her pace unconsciously

he looked like an Indian chieftain. So he
would have stalked through virgin forests.
So, under different conditions, she might
have been following his lead. But con-
ditions We're as they We're. That is what
she must keep in mind. He was here
merely to escort her safely to Italy and to
the steamer in which she was soon to sail
for home. He was being decent to her,
as under the same conditions he would be
to any woman. He could scarcely do less
She was forced upon him.
That he apparently took pleasure in the
episode was natural enough. 1t was just
the sort of experience he enjoyed. 1t was
another pleasant excursion like the motor
trip from Paris, with a touch of adventure
added to give it spice. Possibly in his
present mood there was also trace of
romance. Monte had his romantic side
based upon his quick sympathies. a
maiden in distress was enough to rouse
this That was what happened yesterday
when he had told her of his love. He had
been sincere enough for the moment, and
no doubt believed everything he said. He
had not given himself quite time enough
to get back to his schedule. With that in
good running order he would laugh at his

He had never before had air enough.
The sunshine reached to the marrow of
his bones. Muscles that had Jagged be-
came vibrant. He could hardly keep
his feet upon the ground. He would
have liked to run; to keep on running
mile after mile. He wondered when he
would tire. He had feeling that he
could never tire. His back and arm mus
cles ached for action. He would have
enjoyed a rough-and-tumbl fight with
some impudent fellow vagabond of the
road
MARJORY walked by his side in silence.
That was all he asked-simply that
she should be there at his left, dependent
upon him. Here was the nub of the mat
ter. Always before she had been able to
leave him if she wished. She had mar
ried him upon that condition. There
had never been moment, until now,
when he had not been conscious of the
fact that he was in no way necessary to
her. The protection against Teddy and
the others was merely convenience. He
had been able to save her from annoy
ance, that was all At any time on that
ride from Paris she could have left him
and gone on her way quite safely. AT
Nice, that was Just what she had done.
1t was to save her from the annoyance of
himself that he had finally gone away.
Had he been really needed that would
have been impossible. But he knew she
could get along without him as she did.
Then when Peter had gone it was more

needed him that he had returned. Down
deep in his heart he knew that, whatever
he may have pretended. She was safe
enough from everything except possible
annoyance. With plenty of gold at her
command, there was nothing he could
buy for her that she could not buy for
herself.
Now she had no gold-except one louis
or. He was almost jealous of that sin
gle piece. He would have been glad if she
lost it. If he had seen it drop from
her bag. he would have let it lie where
it fell.
She was merely woman now. The
muscles in her arms and legs We're not
strong. Because of that she could not
leave his side nor order him to leave.

fighting We're necessary. She must look
to him to put his strong arm about her
and help her if she grew weary. She
must look to him to provide her with
food and shelter for the night. Physi-
cally she was like child out here on the
open road But he was a man.
He was man because he had some
thing to protect He was man because
he was responsible for some one besides
himself. 1t was this that the other half
of him had been craving all these years.
1t was this that completed him.
Yet his attitude toward her, in this
respect, was strangely impersonal. He
was looking for no reward He did not
consider that he was placing her in any
way under an obligation to him. His Joy
in doing for her was not based upon any
idea of furthering his own interests He
was utterly unselfsh.
His love for her was another matter en-
tirely. Whether she We're with him or
not, that would have remained the same

Built Like Redingotes.
The satin coat which France sends
to us and which American designers
are rapidly copying is an enveleping
garment that can be worn as frock
whenever one Wills. It is as long as

It is made Of q heavy quality black

The body part is almost Victorian in Its

and made to stand out from the figure.
Bulloz tries out this idea also in

which we tolerate today.
The hem Of this coat. as we'll as the
wrists and shoulders, are lavishly trim

way to the forefront because OF the al

Grape Jelly.

Jelly from ripe grapes is prepared In
this way: Mash the grapes and heat
them until the Juice runs. They must
be heated very slowly. Then strain
through a colander and then drip
through jelly bag. Measure the Juice
and allow a pound of sugar to pint of
juice-which is the same as a pint to a

boil rapidly for thirty minutes. Try by
dropping a little on ice and II thick
enough pour into jelly glasses.

Grape Juice.

Mash the grapes gently and put them
in a crock. Heat them gradually. either
by standing. the crock In water or by
placing It in the oven. Then pour the
grapes through a double cheese-cloth
bag and let drip. Do not squeeze or the
juice will be cloudy. To every pint Of
juice add a cup Of sugar and heat just
long enough to dissolve the sugar thor
