Many days bad Leila sat, her pretty
face pressed close against the window
pane, wistful blue eyes gazing far
down the street, but he, had not come.
He had told her as they parted in
anger that long time ago though not
vet eight weeks by the calendar-that
he never would come back, until" he
added scornfulIy, "your roses are
blooming again That, at the time
had seemed to him the most hopeless
emblem. About them, as they stood
in the drcary garden, leaves lay thick
upon the ground the flower beds brown
and desolate. Perhaps he had not
meant TO go so far I'm his anger but
the girl had tried him sorely Leila, too,
may not have been blameless In that
her smile worked havoc whore it was
merely intended to be friendly. To
Philip Strong she owed her allegiance,
and her repentance and dismissal Of
each new sutton heretofore had won his
speedy pardon, but this-was 1.-THE last
time,' he told her. 'If 1t happens
again." he had said, 81 will never
come back" and-it had happened
again.
The splendid car belonging to the
latest young man from the city, with
q vista of a glorious autumn ride had
been her temptation. Leila had taken
that ride, and because of it, Philip was
never coming back, until her roses
bloomcd again. Dead against the
early fallen snow lay the bushes. In
vain she had used former coaXing
wiles, which had never failed to win,
lingering carelos.ly yet with eyes
bright and eager no await the evening
train Twice, Philip had passed her,
swinging along easily, with firm
pressed lips, his hat just raised in
greeting. And now, the other man had
become so tiresomely embarrassing,
pettshly Leila had crossed to the OPP
posite side Of the road to avoid the
fateful driver Of that same splendid
car; but now, a greater foreboding
possessed the girl. Among the printed
