Ivan had just closed the tent flap,

Pete did not look into her white face

that she was pale and drawn as he

tone was real. even il it were mis-
taken, even though he had long
turned away from the Light to bow
before craven images. 1t was ex-
actly the kind of marriage that Ivan,
in particular would have preferred.
1t appealed to his eternal sense Of
fitness, the attribute Of his genius;
and it lifted him out Of himself like
the passion Of his own great music.
Very soon the vows were spoken,
and ignoring the presence Of the
priest and the two witnesses, ivan
took his bride in his arms. Pavlof
shook hands with them both, himself

his good wishes.

was almost carried away by a half
mad impulse to take the girl in his
arms for one kiss that by an old
custom at weddings he might right

him than mere beauty and lowell
ness; it would be a memory to har-
Dor in the days to come and it would
some way exalt him in ways beyond

delusion; all his longing and his loss
had some way conferred for the in
slant, in this; and it was suddenly
veritable need. Some way that kiss
would be an enduring token Of what
he had been and what he had given,
