Tell me the story of all these avenues"
she said; tell me fairy story suitable to
the day"
And he fell in with her mood. So he
began:
"Once upon a time there was a fairy
prince and princess, and a witch had en-
chanted them and put them in a green
forest, but had set a watchdog over Love
so that the poor Cupid with his bow and
arrows might not shoot at them, and they
were told they might live and enjoy the
green wood and find what they could of
sport and Joy. But Cupid laughed AS if
he said, there is anything in a green wood
of good without me-and my shaftsn So
while the watchdog slept-it was a warm.
warm day in May, Just such as this-ht
shot an arrow at the prince and it entered
his heart. Then he ran off laughing. That
is enough for one day. he said. And the
poor prince suffered and suffered because
he was wounded and the princess had not
received a dart, too-and could not feel
for him"
WAS she not even sympathetic" asked
Theodore, and again there was that catch
in her breath.
Yes, she was sympathetic" he con-
tinued, but this was not enough for the
prince; he wanted her to be wounded
too"
How very, very cruel of him." said
Theodore.
But men are cruel and the prince was
only a man, you know, although he was in
a green forest with a lovely princess"
And what happened?" asked Theodore
well, the watchdog slept on. so that
friendly zephyr could come. and it wills
pered to the prince: AT the end of all
these paths, which lead into the future,
there is only one thing, and that is Love;
he bars their gates. As soon as you start
down one, no matter which, you will find
him, and when he sees your princess he
will shoot an arrow at her, too"
"Oh, then the princess. Of course. never
went down a path said Theodora-and
she smiled radiantly to hide how her heart
was beating-"did she?"
THE end Of the story / do not know"
said Lord Bracondale; the fairy who told
it to me would not say what happened to
them, only that the prince was wounded.
deeply wounded, with Loves arrow. Aren't
you Sorry for the prince, beautiful prime
ess?"
Theodore opened her blue parasol, al
though no ray of runshine fell upon her
there. She was going through the first
moment of this sort in her life. She was
quite unaccustomed to fencing, or TO any
verbal combat with men-especially men
of his world. She understood this story

'as it could be. with all these new emotions
flooding her being and making her heart
beat. 1t was almost pain she experienced.
the sensation was so intense, and Hector
read of these things in her eyes and was
content So he let his voice grow softer
still, and almost whispered again:
And aren't you sorry for the prince
beautiful princess?"
q am sorry for any one who suffers"
said Theodore, gently. even in fairy
story"
And as he looked at her he thought to
himself, here was a rare thing. beautiful
woman with a tender heart. He knew she
would be gentle and kind to the meanest
of Gods creatures. And again the vision
of her at Bracondale came to him-his
mother would grow to love her perhaps
even more than MOrella Winmarleigh
How she would glOrify everything COM
mOnplace with those tender ways Of hers!
To look at her was like looking up into
he vast. pure sky, with the light of heaven
beyond. And yet he lay on the grass at
her feet with his mind full OF thoughts
and plans and desires to drag this angel
down from her high heaven-intO his
arms! Because he was a man, you see,
and the time of his awakening was not yet.
The Washington times., 1918-06-30

And Theodore sat as one in a dream.
At last she felt she must wake must
realize that she was not a happy princess.
but Theodore, who must live her dull live
and this-and this-where was it lead
ing her to?
So she clasped her hands together sud
denly. and she said:
But do you know we have grown SER
ious, and | asked you to amuse me, Lord
Bracondale!"
81 cannot amuse yOu," he said, lazily
but shall tell you about my home. which
| should like to show you some day." And
again he began to caress the .farthest edge
of her dress With his wild flower. Just
the smallest movement of smoothing 1t up
and down that no one could resent, but
which was disturbing to Theodore. She
did not wish him to stop. on the contrary
and yet
"Yes, | would like to hear of that" she
said. as it an old, old house,"
"Oh, moderately so. and 1t has hooks
and corners and views that might appeal
to you. | believe | should find them all
endowed with fresh charm myself if |
could see them with you'-and he made
the turning-point of his flower a few inches
nearer her hand.
Theodore said nothing; but she took
courage and peered at him again. And
she thought how powerful he looked. and
how beautifully shaped; and she liked the
fineness of the silk OF his socks and his
shirt, and the cut of his clothes. and the
wave of his hair-and last of all. his
brown, strong, well-shaped hands.
And then she fell to wondering what the
general scheme of things could be that
made husbands possess none of these
charms; when, if they did. it could all be
so good and so delicious, instead of a ter
ribly irksOme duty to live with them and
be their wives.
You are not listening to a word ! am
saying!" said Hector. Where were your
thoughts, cruel lady?"
She was confused a little, and laughed
gently. "They were away in a land where
you can never come" she said
He raised himself on his elbow, and sup
ported his head on his hand, while he
answered, eagerly:
But | must come! ! want to know
them, all your thoughts. Do you know
that since we met on Monday you have
never been for one instant out of my con-
seriousness. And you would not listen then
to what told you of friendship when it is
born of instantaneous sympathy-it is be-
cause in some other life two souls have
been very near and dear. And that is our
case, and | want to make you feel 1t so, as
| do. Tell me that you do"

sess her, and. in modified form, he wishes
10 steal her. If necessary, from another. or
kill the enemy who steals her from him.
But the Sun Of the Soul is there, too. so
the poor old world is not in such a very
bad case after all.
And how God must smile sadly to Him
self when He looks down on those poor
foolish mortals who have distorted His
beautiful scheme of things with their mar
row ideas. Trying to eliminate the red
out of His spectrum, instead of ennobling
and clarifying it all with the Sun of the
Soul
And all of you who are great reasoners
and arguers will laugh at this ridiculous
little smile of life drawn by woman; but
I do not care. I have had my Outburst,
and said what | wanted to. So now we
can get back to the two-whO were not
yet lovers-under their green tree in the
Forest of Marty.
But you must be able to guess the end"
Theodore was saying; land oh, | want to
know, if all the roads were barred by love
how did they get out of the wOod?"
They took him with them" said Lord
}racondale and he touched the edge of her
dress gently with a wild flower he had
picked in the grass, while into his eyes
Crept all the passion he felt and into his
voice all the tenderness.
Now if Theodore had ever read THE
Sin of Able Fauret' she would have
known just what proximity and the Spring
time was doing for them both. But she
had not read. and did not know. All she
was conscious Of was a wild thrilling OF
her pulses, an extraordinary magnetic
force that seemed to draw her-draw her
nearer-nearer to what? Even that she
did not know or ask herself Beyond that
II was danger. and she must fly from it,
Il do not want to talk of any of those
things to-day" she said, suddenly dropping
her parasoI between them. 81 only want
10 laugh and be amused. and as you were
TO devise schemes for my happiness. you
must amuse me-"
He looked up at her again and he no
ticed, for all this brave speech, that her
hands were trembling as she clutched the
handle Of her blue parasol. Triumph and
joy ran through him. He could afford to
wait a little longer now, since he knew
that he must mean something, even per-
haps a great deal, TO her.
And so for the next halfhour he played
with her. he skinned over the surface of
danger, he enthralled her fancy. and with
every sentence he threw the glamOr Of his
love around her, and fascinated her soul
All his powers of attraction-and they
we're many-were employed for her I'M
doing.
