Again he felt pang of selfishness.
He had a most uncomfortable con-
science. Here he was planning his
own pleasure out of that reunion (;
here he was. bathed in the ecstatic
happiness of having secured the most
wonderful girl in the world for his
own. and somewhere Harrison Stuart,
Tavy's father and Mrs. Stuart's hus-
band, was sitting by himself eating
his heart out. Billy felt rotten! BY
George, now he understood why Hal
had made such queer break, up in
the, office! 1t was rather a hard jolt
for n father who has spent every
waking minute waiting for the time
when he could fold his long-lost little
girl in his arms, to find that a big hulk
of young man was taking her away
before that joy could ever occur!
Why, by the time Harrison Stuart
came to the day of his glorious re-
union, he wouldn't have any little
girl; there would be no Tavy; there
would only be a Mrs. Billy Lane. OF
course Hal had worded the thing a
little strongly. but no wonder. Billy
felt more and more rotten. He guess
ed he'd call Hal up, and he went into
the vestibule to do it; but just then
Mrs. Stuart and Tavy returned to the
parlor. and BSly- Lane, with startling
suddenness, forgot all about lonely

chair by the fireplace, gazing motion

logs of winter had cast forth their

always" she said simply, and the
young man, looking down at her, and
feeling mean and small, somehow. be-
cause he was robbing her of so much,
gulped that he would; and he meant
it from the bottom of his heart. He
meant it,
Tavy knew that he meant it, too.
There she stood, her dark violet eyes
sparkling up at him, and full of such
supreme trust and confidence in him
that once again Billy felt humble and
awkward. Why. it was a frightening
thing to become sacredly responsible
for so helplessly a beautiful creature!
Her long lashes curved down over her
eyes, and they glistened slightly as
they flashed in the light There had
been moisture upon them. Billy was
silent for some moments in the con-
| temptation of the marvellous change
which had come over his thoughts
and his life. He was responsible for
an immense amount to these two wo-
men, and, by George, he'd prove
himself worthy of the responsibility!

accept "extracts" of cod Hveys think
ing they viii get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver oil.
The difference is very great. An

Scott's Emulsion guarantees the high

graduation, and then Tommy was his
old cheerful self again. If he had re-
Elected sadly that he was soon to lose

Billy's joy had brought to mind, there

his hat.

out into the night.
1t was glorious world full of moth

were such things as tragedies, but

tifully clear night. The sky was
white with stars. and a great round
moon rode straight overhead. casting
down upon the river thousand
glinting jewels. With brave uncon-
sclousness, Billy had quite naturally
chosen the Drive, since that led him
past the Stuart apartments. where
the enchanted doorman stood in fhe
enchanted marble lobby, accepting n

Hal, if he were still awake.
Hal! Billy's conscience gave him
tremendous twinge. Half a dozen
times, during the dinner at Woodbriar.
