Then she blushed deeply, realizing what
she had said
And the quaintness of 1t caused Hector
to smile while he felt its pathos.
How could they all have sacrificed this
beautiful young life between them! And

his short, stumpy, plebeian figure and bald,
shiny head. his common voice, and his
pOmpousness-Josiah Brown, who had now

who paid for her clothes and gave her
those great pearls-who might touch her
and kiss her-might clasp and caress her

own, any moment Of the day-or night!
An, Cod that last, thought was impossible
-unbearable.
And for one second Hector's eyes looked
murderous as they glared into the distance
and Theodore glanced up timidly, and
asked, in a sympathetic voice: What was
IT? What allied him?

Then he asked her more about her fam
lily and her plans.
They would stay in London at Claridge's
for a week or so, and go down to Blessing
ton Hall for Whitsuntide. 1t would be
ready for them then. Josiah had had IL
all furnished magnihcently by one Of those
people who had taste and ordered well for
those who could afford to pay for it. She
was rather longing to see it, she said

wished she might have chosen the things

Il am very ignorant about houses" she
explained, because We never really had

know what was pretty from museums and
pictures-and l love all colors and forms"
He felt sure she would know what was
pretty. How delightful it would be to
watch her playing with his old home! The
touches OF her gentle fingers would make
everything sacred afterward.
At last they came to the end of the
green glade-and temptation again assailed
him. He must ruffle the peace Of her soft
eyes once more.

This time she was on her guard-and
besides they were walking-and he was
no longer caressing the edge of her dress
with his wild flower; it was almost easy
to fence now.
But when they reached the automobile
and he bent over to tuck the rug in-and
she felt the touch of his hands and per-

heart beat and her eyes dilate.
And Hector saw and understood. and bit
his lips. and clinched his hands together
under the rug. because so great was his
own emotion that he feared what he should
say OF do. He dared not, dared not chance
a dismissal from the joy Of her presence
forever, after this one day.

and he felt he hated the face of Morella
Winmarleigh
Usually when he had been greatly at
tracted by a married woman before, he
had unconsciously thought of her as having
the qualities which would make her an
adorable mistress, a delicious friend. or a
holiday amusement. There had never
been any reverence mixed up with the
affair, which usually had the zest OF for
hidden fruit, and was hurried along by pas
sion. 1t had always only depended upon
the woman how far he had got beyond
these stages.
But. as he thought Of Theodore, uncon-
sciously a picture always came to him of
what she would be were she his wife. And
it astonished him when he analysed It; he,
the scoffer at bonds, now to find this piCt-
IRE the fairest in the world!
And as yet he was hardly even dimly
growing to realize that fate would turn
the anguish of this desire into a chastise-
ment of scorpions for him. Things had
always been so within his grasp.

Theodore said. as they sauntered along
down the green glade. 1T is so strange

She spoke quite simply There never
was room for bitterness or irony in her
upon her, a sort of worship in his eyes.

possibilities. Then she jumped up from
her seat suddenly, and her voice trembled
little as she said:
"And now I.want to go out Of the wood"
He rose too and stood beside her. while
he pointed 20 the glade to the left of the
centre they were facing.

And she did not answer: she was afraid
because she remembered all those avenues
were barred by-love.
AS he walked beside her, Hector Bracon-
dale knew that now he must be very, very
careful in what he said. He must lull her
fears to sleep again, or she would be of
like a lark toward high heaven, and he
would be left upon earth.
So he exerted himself to interest and
amuse her in less agitating ways He
talked Of his home and his mother and
his sister. He wanted Theodore to meet
them. She would like Anne, he said. and
his mother would love her, he knew. And
