her hands.
Her cry cut seversc short He rose
and waited.
Overcome by the emotions which
this terrible day had brought into her
virgin heart, Moisette wept.
Severac waited, torn asunder by
his conflicting Impressions.
At last, Moisette's shattered nerves
became quieted. She rose.
Her face was CAIN. her eyes clear.
and unmistakRble. Her whole bear
ing showed that she had made a de-
cision, and that this decision would
be definite and irrevocable.
Trembling with Ill-concealcd pas
sion, SeverAc understood and listened
to the words which held his fate.
"Monsieur,' said Moisette, in a
clear voice, ringing with the conn.,
dence OF the woman who has made
her choice, Monsieur, ], too, will be
brIef-and frank. You say you love
me. / believe It. for ! have no rea-

She was silent Severac paled at the
words which. coming from ths mouth
OF an innocent young girl, were only
natural. cruel as they would have been
on the part OF q more experienced
woman.
1t seemed to him IL IL his blood stop
ped in his veins. While he had not
hoped that his love would be immedi-
ately returned. he had hardly expected
such a final No"
Il was as II he were shot. His dunn
foundment did not last long, however.
Severac was a man OF force. He took
hold OF himself once more. A thousand
thoughts flashed across his brain.
''She loves someone" he said to him

Goaded on by q new and profound de-
sire. all powerful with vengeance, he
lifted up his head once more. looked at
Moisette and. fixing his eyes intently
upon the calm eyes OF the young girl,
he said. dryly:
why could you have given me hope
yesterday. and why am l so definitely
refused today? What have you seen7

you will leave me. The siesta hour is
passed and my father and uncle must
be expecting you in the laboratory"
She was silent and she was afraid.
Severac looked at her so rudely that
she seemed already to see herself seized
and taken with him into the CULTS OF
the open sea at their feet
She drew slowly back in Aurora 8
chair and opened her mouth to cry out.
A gesture from Severac Gained her

with her from the overhanging cliff
into the deep sea. but he saw his own
folly and controlled himself.
| He saw that Moisette was about to
scream.
II she did and was heard, all was
| lost for him. So he bowed and raised
two beseeching hands. In a broken
voice he said:
"Mademoiselle, I love you. Per
haps your mind Is not as clearly
made up as you think 1t Is. / will
wait / will wait!"
The young girl tried to answer
but she had not the strength.
Severac had turned. He went to
ward the trap door and. unfortunate
Iy for Moisette, she did not see the
fierce look OF hatred return to hi'
face, nor hear the harsh words he ut
tered. II she had seen and heard
she would have been afraid. She
would have told her father all.
When Severac had disappeared
MoIsette sank back into Aurora'i
chair and, with her elbows on hei
knees. her head in her hands, sht
abandoned herself completely TO th'
nervous reaction which always fol

Would you advise me to leave
NV place. so that ! can forget
about hint A READER
DON'T yield to your own emo
tionaI folly. However this man
attracts you you are not feeling
real love, because that has to be
based on more than mere physical
appeal You don't know him. and
II you did you really might nnd
him stupid and boresome. Don't
run away. but stay and try TO de-
veIop a sane friendship out OF
which legitimate deeper feelings
may grow. Dismiss all your fool
ish ideas about being In love. Look
the thing sQuarely in the face and
say to yourself, This man attracts
me strongly. Well, now l must
see II am clever enough to make
him like me-" II you lose deter
mine that you must cultivate
little more charm. so that you can
appeal TO the people you like, and
little more poise. 30 rnat you won't
