CHAPTER XVII.
Danger.

Danger.
When she tiptoed into her uncle's
room at midnight, Mans heart beat as
the wings Of a bird beat from the
broken door Of a cage into n forbidden
sky Of happiness. She had left the
room a girl she returned a woman.
Sleep she did not expect or even ask
for: the night was all too short to
think Of those tense, fearful moments
that had pledged her to her lover.
When the anxietles of her situation
overwhelmed her, as they would again
and again. she felt herself In the arms
OF this strange, resolute man whom all
her own hated and whom she knew she
already loved beyond all power TO put
away. In her heart. she had tried this
more than once-she knew she could
not, would not ever do 1t, or even
try to do it, again.
She rejOiced in his love. She trusted.
When ne spoke she believed this man
whom no one around her would be
lieve; and she. who never had believed
what other men avuwed, and who de
tested their avownls. believed De
Spain and secretly. gulltily, glowed in
every word Of his devotion and
breuthed faint In its every caress.
Night could hardly come fast enough
after the next long day. A hundred
times during that day she reminded
herself, while the slow, majestic sun
shone simmering on the hot desert,
that she had promised to steal out into
the grounds the minute darkness fell
he would be whiting. A hundred times
in the long afternoon Nan looked into
the cloudless western sky and with
puny. eager hands would have pushed
the tagging orb on its course that she
might sooner give herself into the
arms where she felt her place so sure,
her honor safe. her helplessness so pro-
tected. herself so loved.
How her checks burned after supper
when she asked her uncle for leave to
post a letter downtown How breath
less with apprehension she halted as
De Spain stepped from the shadow of
the trees and drew her approximately
beneath them for the kiss that had
burned on her troubled lins all day!
