ONE CAN BE TOO HUMBLE

usually taken at his own value. II he

opinion Of ones self stands in the way
of progress, too great humility is

meet his first advance. She had no
time to question her yearnings; she
seemed to understand only that this
man offered her rest and security; that
in his arms lay sanctuary.
To both It seemed that they stood
there silently, hand in hand, for a
very long time, though ia reality there
was scarcely n moment Of hesitation
on the part of either. A drunken,
breathless instant OF uncertainty, then
Alaire was on Dawes breast, and his
strength, his ardOr, his desire, was
throbbing through her. Her bare arms
were about his neck; sigh, the token
of utter surrender, fiuttered from her
throat. She raised her face to his and
their lips melted together.
"Dream-man :" she murmured.

she pushed herself out of Dawes reluc-

Alaire began to tremble and to struggle
with her breath.
'Are we-mad?" she gasped what
have we done?"
"There's no use fighting. II was
here-it was bound TO come out. Oh,
Alaire-!"

avoiding his outstretched hands, went
to the edge Of the veranda and leaned
weakly against a pillar, with her head
in the crook of her arm. Dave fol-
lowed her, but the words he spoke
were scarcely intelligibie.
Finally she raised her face to his:
"NOl 1t is useless to deny it-now
that we know. But didn't know, un-

her, hoarsely. ITO me you're all there

Dave stirred; there was resentment
in his voice when he answered: your
husband has sacrificed his claim TO
you, as everybody knows. To my mind
he has lost his rights. You're mlne'

of defiance. "Ill take you away from

"Of course the law provides way,

to speed a message to her heart. then
Into her rosy palm he whispered a ten

She stood white, motionless, against
the dim illumination of the porch until
he had gone, and not until the last

she stir. Then she pressed her own
lips to the palm he had caressed and
walked slowly to her room.
