THE MEETING.


MacAllister came up into the sun
set with eyes searching the hillside,
then fixed on a bit of gold which, as
1t slowly lifted against the suns rays.
shone like a nimbus around a pallid
face. He knew that Marie saw him
coming. for he stood up. her full
height outlined against the sky. II
was usual for her to wait for his ap-
proach in this fashion. It was part of
the aloofness he had grown to expect,
but he had, been away and had re-
turned without warning; he had de-
cided that she would come to meet
him. Instead. she was waiting, and
with a face that was set and white.
He came on hurriedly.
7. But when he was near enough for
her to see his eyes. she did come. and
with a suddenness that took his
breath, with a swoop as light and as
swift as a birds. her hand held to
her heart, as If 1t had stopped beat
ing and then too suddenly flooded her
with dusky color. She stopped short.
a. check on herself Is 1T were, but she
had come within reach of his hands,
and when they settled on her and she
met fuilv-the light in his eyes, she
grew ashen and swayed in a way that
frightened him.
She let him take her in hts arms
What is it, Marie" 2" he asked huskily.
What is 1t, dear?''
She let him hold her, and MacAllis-
ter caught her prayer of gratitude,
whispered in the tongue most natural
to her, Her hand lifted to his burn
ing cheek, as If she needed by actual
touch to convince herself Of his
warmly breathing presence.
What Is it, dear?" he begged.
4 But. when he strained her to him,
and tried to kiss her she drew herself

Then, az always. there came to bat.
tie with craving the hot realization OF
necessity, of obligation. His hands
gripped the couch, an actual holding
himself down to the burning bed he
had made for himself. He lay; chok-

mad longing to escape from 1t all
should sweep him out and away.
Then, as if to make reminder more
poignant, he heard the opening and

sharp ringing of the front door-bell
did not stir him. nor Margaret's hur-
ried ascent from the kitchen. It was
MacAllister's incisive voice that
brought him upright.
"Yes, I'm back-where is Marie?"
Margaret's answer was murmur,
but MacAllister's reply came TO him
clearly enough: Don't We climb those
stairs, Mrs. Mendall. Ye look as If the
heat had done for ye. She'll hear me

note Of urgency filled the house:

it's opinion on the draft of the allies

attention to the discrepancy lying in
the fact that Germany is called on
to sign the statute of the league Of
