The girl began to struggle with her sobs.
Lord Avoncroft interlaced his long fingers,
Clasping his hands around his thin knee.

are born into high positions, live in great com
fort: we have all the luxuries, money, power,
honor fame. For these things we must pay
Every good thing in this world is paid for.

many of US have married for what the world
calls love? In many many cases IT has been
necessary for us TO marry for convenience. To
our credit let II be said that not many Of us
have shirked"
'TT try not-not to shirk" she faltered
Billy Coldenhouse, who had been invited to
dinner that night, was not asked TO defer his
visit-LOrd Avoncroft had intended he should
be-Owing 10 the intercessiOn OF Maud's Aunt
Helen.
My dear" said the old man, they are only
children; but | think II would be better if
they did not meet again"
They need not after o-night" his daughter
in law made answer. But il is Maud's birth
day, you know. Let heT nave one last evening
with him. poor child"
Lord Ayoncroft only grunted but tie grunt
signifed that Billy might come He arrived
duly in his first suit OF evening clothes. and the
old peer stole several chances al him through
out the meal. He was a MISUNDERSTANDING
youngster, and well-mannered Looking from
him 10 Maud. Lord Avoncroft caught himself
regretring that this parsons son was Of no
particular family and practically penniless.
Billy and the old man remained in the dining
room only about FIVE minutes after the two
ladies' The boy although he did not show
IT, was in deadly terror lest Lord Avaacroft
should address, him concerning his friendship
with Maud. Also he wanted 70 be with her,
and refrained from fdgeting only by a great
effort of will. Presently he saw the old man
smiling at him as # his thoughts had been
writtne on HIS face and correctly interpreted.
You'd better run on and join them" Loord
Avoncroft said kindly. You'll excuse me.
won't you my boy? I'm a very busy man.
and have much 10 see 10 tonight"
Billy went with scarcely-concealed alacrity.
and entered the drawing-rOom a man was
serving coffee Maud sat on the floor with
her head resting against the seat OF a settee.

with a passion for fancy needlework. was in

"Au the stars are out" she said, softly It's
a lovely night | think l amgoing to take
breath of fresh air"
She waited moment, and then passed
slowly out leaving her aunt and Billy To-
gether.
Aunt Helen looked at the boy and smiled
why don't you go and help Maud 10 look
at the stars?' she said. She looked down at
her work It's your last chance Of a talk
with her"
'I've had a pretty broad hint that sha'n't
be allowed 10 see you again he answered.
She was very close 10 him, slim and white
and warm, and utterly lovable She turned,
and laid a hand on his shoulder
He was only a boy, and his self-control
abandoned him He took her in his arms and
held her close against him But when he
kissed her it very gently, almost a childs
kiss
She broke down and commenced to sob.
The boy loosened her from his arms

though I'm only a beastly outsider. But, oh

Not after all these years." she cried. "Oh.
Billy grandpa couldn't mind that! kiss
