nearly midnight, when the "taffy pull"
at Roblnson's broke up. As Flora Nc
Cray sat alone In the Robinson parlor
waiting to hear the grinding OF wheels
across the graveled path that would
herald her escorts buggy. she went
over the evenings impressions In her
mind. She decided that 1t had been
a very pleasant evening. She had new
er before found herself surrounded by
the masterful attentions Of young
man. She was pleased with his bush
ness-like devotion to her coffee cup,
and was amused, yet little startled,
when he piled a monument Of cake
upon her plate aud called on every
one to pass things down his way as
Miss McCray was very hungry. 1t was
a new sensation to find herself n part
of the merrlment. Heretofore, she had
been only spectator Mt such scenes.
And thus, with mind isolated from
the vain world by such reflections, she
started with Howard on their home
ward ride.
III WIS DluSttIinSs tiVu'y "eht
At first they chatted on about the
commonplace of Willow Creek. Flora
McCray tried again and again to
associate her recollection of the
familiar face of her fathers partner
with the smoOth-shaven face SO near
her in the night. Her repeated efforts
were tantallzlng. Little by little, did
the wizard Of the night weave her
fancles, and then herself into the wool
of his uncanny spell. Not only was
she with stranger, hut she was her
self stranger 10 herself. II may have
been the utter lonesOmeness of the
night that drew her close to him, but
she came, and was not afraid.
Again he reached over her, and
again tucked the wraps closer than
ever about her, and the fumblinS
touches Of his hands awakened the
girls new self to delightful reali-
cation of the fact that new being
had come to her out of the darkness.
She came even closer TO this new-found
presence. and almost cuddlcd against
the mans great coat. and Struggled I'M
der his arm, that rested loosely upon
the cushions behind her. Their talk,
which had been growing more and
more serious, gradually stopped.
ARE you cold-dear!' the young
man asked, when he felt her come
close 10 him. Ills words and his tone
startled the girl and almost broke the
spell. Flora McCray struggled mo
ment with the Girl in the Dark, and
shuddered in despair as n voice from

put the hat down. She did not LOOK
ut It again. but blew out the light and
went to bed with her face turned from
the guilty reminder. And all night
long Flora McCray dashed herself for
the folly of the Girl in the Dark. As
she remembered IL, she had made all
the advances; he had only been kind
and good to her.
The next morning, all Of Willow
Creek knew that John Howard had
taken Flora McCray to Robinsons the
night before, and that he was going
to eat Sunday dinner with the Me-
Crays that afternoon. But the town,
as usual, was divided. One-half
claimed that the McCrays had to have
all of Towards money, or they would
fail; and the other half that John
Howard. was going to marry Flora Nc
Cray to keep the old man from prose
cutting him for running Off mortguged
cattle and reporting them as dead.
And I'm the whole town no one could
have been SO thoroughly surprised as
was Mr.. McCray, when his daughter
said to him, "Father, II Mr.. Howard
says anything to you about me, you
will tell hm-that-I cannot marry
him."
McCray and his daughter were walk
ing along the narrow, rough sidewalk
toward the church, when these words
were spoken. The mother had dropped
back, and was not in hearing distance.
McCray could not find voice for few
explanatory "whys" and whats" be-
fore his daughter had said firmly, You
will be sure, won't you, fatherf" and
was waiting for her mother to catch
up with them. After the service, the
women, Flora and her mother among
them, hurried home to attend to the
feast of the day.
At the dinner table the young peo-
pie met for the first time that day.
Flora McCray felt keenly, and with
twlnge of anguish, that the young
map's cordial suavity In greeting her
was only inspired by gratitude for her
generosity in releasing him from any
obligation.
She met his eye, and thought she
read there recollection of every
thing that had been. Then. as she
looked down and away, all the sweet
ness and unrcality of the nights ride
was made real to her.
After dinner the men went into the
parlor, where they smoked and talked
alone, while the women put away the
best china, afraid to trust it to the
hired girl" Finally, young Howard

In the hall, when the elder man
opened the dining-room door and said !:
"Mother, John thinks its time to go,
and I am going to walk down to the
post Office with him"
When the front door closed Mrs. Nc
Cray said
"What IA nice young man John How
ard is, isn't hef"
"Oh, yes, he is nice enough, guess"
answered the daughter, rising to go
to her room.
As she neaied the top of the stairs,
Flora McCray Quickcned her pace.
She ran through the upper hall. Once

AS the lights of the town came in
sight the young couple grew silent, \
turn in the road brought the buggy
under the white glare of an electric
light. Flora McCray was sitting up
right with her hands folded under the
robe, and Howard, with the whip and
the lines IN his hands, was consciously
clucking at the horses. Each saw the
others face clearly, and rs they
crossed the circle Of light the man
spoke:

The girl did not reply. and the young
man leaned over TO look out of the
buggy, as if TO sean the clouds The
prospect did not altogether satisfy him
and he said:
"It's going to be "A pretty gloomy

As Howard put out his arms to
help her from the buggy she barely
t0uched his outstretched hand ana her
decided shyness surprised him. In a
bewidernent OF confusion he said:
