He kept seeking. moreover. for
an opportunity OF doing something
significant and arresting. something
worth while, that could not only
win Adela's approval, but that
would also help him to wipe out
memories OF past weakness and
foolishness. something that would
increase his stature and esteem In
his own eyes-that would enable
him to present himself as a better
and bigger man to Adela when next
she saw him. Not a day passed
that he did not secretly hope for
some turn OF events, some such for
tunate occasion. And II was that
trend OF his thoughts that sent him
that Summer TO the Plattsburg
training camp. Somehow that
sharp though brief military disci-
pline gave him a sense OF keener
manhood, OF cleaner, most straight
forward gaze between the eyes OF
life In general.
What a lovely thing that was to
dol" exclaimed Adela with shining
eyes when she saw him. And, In
deed, some subtle change had come
TO him with that Plattsburg train
ing. His bearing had been affected;
q greater serenity and yet a greater
alertness, too. were in his eyes. She
did not like to tell him that 1t made
him look more manly, but that was
what she thought.
Anthony will always remember
those October days in New York.
There are no delectable mountains

"Never mind the prairies." was
her reply. They are very we'll in
their place. But this Is here and
now; don't you see, dear, that it's
perfect?" And she slipped her
hand into his arm and pressed it
in an ecstasy OF pure enjoyment.

SWhat beautiful party, my
dear. Such lovely young people,
all of you-and all artists! 1t made
me feel a happy, care-free child
again."
Clarice made no use Of the trum-
pet. She only kissed the old lady.
And Adela came and kissed the
other cheek. Anthony was moved
as he noted the picture. Adela,
with her youth and eagerness and
life before her, stood contrasted
against this frail, aged. white
skinned woman, who seemed be-
yond sorrow, beyond good or evil
disembodied spirit almost, and yet
she was stilh diffusing her influence
on the marching generations, still
glowing. however feebly, with her
love and her kindness. The history

He remembered no reply. but he
awoke to the fact that her lips
were on his-they were one-united.
And he knew that nothing of the
past mattered in the least. For he
had never truly loved before and
never could love again as he now
loved this vivid, warm, beautiful
girl in his arms.
Adela's eyes were wet with tears.
