CHAPTER xIX-Contnued.
So the winter passed in a round of
igaieties. t~ransplanted for a few weeks
to Palm Beach. then hack again to
New York, then to Tuxelo fer the
summer. and Mtgnaci, sNHncw Of it all,

now she had cut him out OF her life
herself. and, he I'LL. ,ht not even thor

the past. She did not wish to know
him. It was right, it was just; 1t was
best; but 1t was agony!
MtchaeFs fresh color grew white
that year, and he looked more like
the man-angel than ever as he came
and went in the alley: old Sally from
her doorstep, drawing nearer and
nearer to her wi end, saw it first.
and called daily attention to the
spirit-look of Michael as he passed.
One evening early in spring, Mi
chael was starting home weary and
unusually discouraged. Sam had gone
down to the farm with Jim to get
ready for the spring work, and find
out just how things were going and
what was needed from, the city. Jim
was developing into a tolerably de-

after looking back a moment kept on
toward the street. Michael %quicken-
ed his steps and came to the corner
at about the same time, crossing over
as the. other man passed the light
and looking full in his face.
To his surprise he saw that the
man was S~tuyvesant Carter!
With an exclamation Of disgust and
horror Michael stepped full in the
pathway of the man and blocked his
further passage.

asked in tones that would have made

Probably not!' said Michael with
