Yes" said fremont.
1.-THE first" continued the girl, he

carried on the bosom of her dream

and the third-the third 1 shall name
the Yelled God"
"Madgei" cried fremont. and Ran
dolph, listening with all his ears, could
almost feel the clutch on his OWL
arms with which the man had seized
the girls, as though to drag her back
from her minds far distance
''People wonder" she continued, her
mood unbroken, lat the wreck of ap-
parently perfect marriages and yet
it's so simple to any woman that
it's amazing that I should be the first
to display our open secret. Only the
complete lover can be secure of his
! beloved, Beacher. He who wins her
flesh alone leaves her spirit to betray
him, and he who wins the spirit alone
is in mortal danger Of the woman Of
the flesh"
'The explanation" said fremont,
whimsically, sis so feminine that it
confuses. If you had said that each
woman is a trinity and must be thrice
won before a mans honor can feel
secure, understanding would be a sim
pie matter. Did you leave out the
Yelled God eurposely or just to be
different and avoid the obyious?"
ITO avoid the obvious is an instinct
Of breeding" said Miss Van Teller
"and would never blush for doing it;
but where would your thoughts be now
if had said just what you expected,
if 1 had treated the Yelled God as a
matter of factl Oh, no. One can
clip with words the wings of flesh and
spirit but not of the Yelled God in
woman, for its very essence is a de-
ferred possession"
She paused, but as fremont chung
to the silence, she presently contin-
ued. 1.-The complete lover is the man
who having conquered all the heights
of flesh and spirit in his mistress,
dwells consciously in the presence of |
an undiscovered god and gazes out
upon a broad land eternally promised,
never materially seized. Few are the !
men-few are the men" Her voice |
trailed off as though her thoughts had !
run ahead of words and reached final
ity without the use of the spoken
phrase.
Few are the men who attain TO
that serene security" fremont fin
shed for her, only half conscious of
