admitted that Sc had not been sorry.
A Lesson Learned.
What fool she had beeni She had
played with fire and let herself i'm
agine that her cousins betrothed was
interested in her to such an extent
that he had sent her a huge box of
roses and had cared more for her than
appeared on the surface
Now she understood. Milton had
been friendly to her. That was all
She and Dora were like sisters It
was not strange that Dora's betrothed
had wished to be on brotherly terms
with Dora's most intimate friend.
Yes. she had been a fool Her only
consolation lay in the fact that no.
body but herself knew it Even Mil
ton did not suspect that she had suf-
fered computations of conscience on
his account THAT she had had heart
searchings with regard to him.
Well. she had learned her lesson.
She had hurt nobody but herself
Another sentence Of Edward Van
Saun's came to her. 1T is no small
offence to wound or MAIN love"
Perhaps Gerald Stewart loved her.
Perhaps that was why he had sent
her the flowers, why he had spoken
TO her so gently last evening. Mrs.
Livingstone might be right, after all.

PEELED his attentions.

view OF the realities Of life So. by
the time Cynthia Long reached her
uncle's house she had almost con-
WINGED herself that Gerald Stewart
was in love with her and that she

thought Of another woman's future
husband that she had been blinded
to her own position; that Dora had
been made jealous OF her. and that
Gerald was unhappy on her account.
Given all these conditions. there was
but one thing for her to do. and she
decided TO do II at once This was to
repair. as far as she was able, any
mischief she had wrought and to de-
vote her thoughts hereafter to the
happiness Of others, even il she had
to sacrifice her own desires and long
ings.
Edward Van SauE's words were al !
ready bearing fruit. OF which he sus-
pected nothing. The lonely and super
sensitive girl climbed the steps Of her /

termination about her lips. Dora spied 1
