II love you, Peter!" she said. And
the words, sounding softly through the
silence OF the garden. died away on
the warm night air like music.
In the two weeks since the day at
the old house they had not chanced to
be often alone, and tonight. for the
first time, Cherry admitted that she
could fight no longer. They talked as
lovers, his arm about the soft little
cllngIng figure, her small, firm fingers
tight In his own. He had squared
about on the great log that was their
seat so that his ardent eyes we're
closer to her; the world held nothing
but themselves. II was eight o'clock.

of parting she hurried for her train.

"And as soon as can CO." Cherry
added feverishly. 81 shall Join Martin
| I'll wire him tomorrow-thIs Is Sun
day-and I'll go ON Wednesday"
Peter sprang over the porch rail
and vanished, walking with swift ener.
gy up the trail that led toward the
mountain.
For the rest of the day Cherry lived
in u sort of daze of emotion; some
times she seemed TO be living two
lives, side by side. In the one was
her old happy relationship with Alix,
and even with Peter the old Joking and
talking and gathering for meals, the
old hours In the garden or beside the
lire. and In the other was the confused
and troubled and ecstatlc conscious
ness of the new relationship between
Peter and herself, the knowledge that
he did not merely admire her, did not
merely feel for her an unusual affec-
tion, but that he was consumed by
burning alteration OF her slightest mo-
tion, the turn Of her wrist, the smile
she gave Kow at breakfast time, the
motion she made when she stopped to
tie her shoe or raised her arm to break
an apple from the low, dusty branches.
The glory Of being so loved enveloped
her like great shining garment, and
her cheeks glowed softly rosy, ana
there was new and liquid sOftness
sort Of shining glitter, in her blue
eyes.
Peter was quiet that evening, and
was gone the next morning when the
sisters came out TO breakfast. He had
left message TO the effect that he
would not be at home that night, and
at four o'clock telephoned confirming
the message. AliX Glanced to answer
the telephone. and Cherry, who was In
her room, heard Peters name, and
stood still, listening with shock Of
disappointment.
But ut eight o'clock that evening,
when she and Alix were sitting on the
porch, when the last ebbing pink of
the sunset had faded aud great spiders
had ventured forth into the dusk and
the dews, there was a sudden hail ~
the gate, and Cherry knew thai II WAS
hel A food of utter, irrational hap
piness rose In her heart she had been
racked with hunger for the sound of
that voice; she had been restless and
unsatisfled, almost feverlsh with long
Ing and doubt; now peace came again,
and content.
He came up 10 them, his glance
resolutely averted from Cherry, ex.
planning that he was lonesome, assur.
ing them that everything went well
and making them laugh with an ac-
count Of Justin Little's reception of
the hew turn Of affairs. "He seemed
absolutely cdm!cunded," Peter said
"He looked at the paper, read It,
laughed and said--in that little nerv.
Gus, smiling way of his-that he felt
Il to be by no means conclusive"
81 can hear him" giggled AlIx.
"And ! guess both you girls will
have tc come In In a day or two"
Peter continued.
"Cherry's going in to the dentist to-
morrow" said Alix.
"Oh, so | aml' Cherry said IN a
'ather strained voice.
She did not look at Peter, nor did
he at her, but they felt each others
thoughts like spoken word.
Had you forgotten?" Alix asked.
