canal into a narrower, half-deserted
looking waterway. quite evidently
leading to the private entrance OF
several old palaces. Over the wall OF
one streamed green branches and
creepers, the remains Of an old gar
den, once hidden from the public eye.
The canal was beautiful. and dark
with shade. Here and there long
splashes Of sunlight stole between
thick walls and made bars across the
water.
T knew you'd love it. I've always
planned to bring the girl I-some day
I meant to bring-Mary, I've kept 1t
for you. Isn't it lovely?'
Before Mary could reply, her hand
was crushed in his, his shoulder was
against her own and his lips close to
her ear were murmuring, so that she
alone could hear all that he longed
to tell her. 1t was extremely jerky
and incoherent. In fact, there was
very little sense in it. 1t was rather
like what every man does with his
preconceived idea of how he is going
to conduct his love scene. Ned, being
very much In love, made aabad botch
Of It. In fact, the astonished Mary
could not distinguish anything except
that she was disturbing the even
tenor of his life considerably. that
she was adorable, and-though every
thing was implied that should have
been implied there was not single
word about marriage or engagement.
Most of it was "Oh. Mary!"
They were approaching the old
bridge. The bridge. low and dark.
seemed to Mary the proper place to
arrest the stream of Ned's eloquence
She determined to release her hand
It did not seem easy. She tried it,
however, and turned her face so that
she might look at him and make him
understand. AS she turned, the lips
so close to her ear brushed her cheek,
met her mouth and chung there.
1t was the first time-for Mary.
Other men had tried to kiss her
mouth, just as other men had asked
her to marry them. but none had sue
ceeded.
When the gondola shot from under
the bridge into the sunlight, the gon-
dolier, who of course must have sus-
pected, if he had not seen, burst out
into one of his cries of warning that
precede turning Ned involuntarily
Strengthened up, came out of his
dream and looked guiltily at Mary.
Mary was furious. Her cheeks
famed. She felt her whole body was
one burning blush. She hated him.
1t was as though he had kissed her
in the open street. But she hated
herself more, for even while she
blushed to remember his lips, she had
a horrible suspicion that she would
like to be kissed again.

OF violets chosen as BETTING a gro
GERS clerk, annoyed her still further.
It was not until New York harbor
was well behind them that Mary was
told.
Something in the way her mother
gave the message, with the inference
that Carter was pushing, obnoxious
creature, made Mary place his flowers
conspicuously In the stateroom.
All this Mrs. Johnston received In
silence, and Mary, sore at heart, could
not understand 1t. After all, they
were Americans and her mother had
never been a snob. What could have
made her take this attitude toward q
perfectly nice young man who had
saved her daughters life? Mary de-
cided not to blame her mother at all.
but to put the blame on that detest-
able Mr.. Rangeley, who had probably
been quite difficult.
Why had her mother borrowed from
him? Surely things might have been
arranged with less haste. There
seemed something inherently unjust
to c. NJ Dabbs in this wild desire to
escape.
Just or unjust, she could not ques-
ton her mother. Mrs. Johnston's face
was set and worried, and though 1t
changed a moment after to smiles
and graciousness. as an old acquaint-
ance greeted her, Mary remembered
that anxious look. If her mother had
promised to consider that awful

her father.

flirted little, stayed in bed and read
when she grew tired Of everybody on
board ship.
Polly's routine was much the same,
save that she spent more time in bed
reading feverishly and without dis
elimination. They talked in the usual
jolly, casual way at night. But GER
tain subjects were avoided-Clover
Hollow, Claude Dabbs, Ned Carter
and Loren Rangeley.
Just three days behind them, on
the same course, Claude Dabbs and
Ned Carter followed. Ned was find
ing Claude a delightful travelling COM
panion, utterly free from the shame
of ignorance, and willing to acquire
knowledge of all sorts. Ned also dis.

THE STORY

CHAPTER K.-Mrs. Johnston tells
her daughter something Of her early
life and poverty and acknowledge
that Dabbs is Mary's father The girl
Is pleased. declaring she likes Dabbs.
CHAPTER x-Claude, at a meeting
with Mary, is overjoyed when the girl
gladly acknowledges their relationship.
He has for some time been convinced
the girl is his daughter. She tells him
she and her mother are sailing to Eu-
rope next day. Dabbs promises to meet
Mary there. She tells him her mother
is in financial straits, but declines his
offer Of pecuniary assistance, believing
him a comparatively poor man.

covered that others found Claude at
tractive, and Ned even accused Claude
Of being too popular.
Polishing up for Mary" was his
explanation and excuse.
A curiously congenial pair they
were, finding an infinite variety Of
things to talk about. They seldom
mentioned Mary, and Ned wanted to
talk about Mary. He had reached
the stage when If the beloved's name
is not mentioned by some one, there
is no conversation. Some one, any
one, every one must speak of her to
him.
Claude, a charming companion in
every other respect, was, on the one
vital subject, dumb.
Ned fumed, in secret, knowing that
with Claude Dabbs all half-measures
were useless; he would either have to
declare his whole purpose, or keep
silent. Since he knew nothing yet of
Mary's feelings, he kept silent.
He wished, heartily, that Claude
and his Polly would play out their
comedy by themselves and leave him
a clear field with Mary. Mary in
Venice! The combination would be
heavenly, but not if everywhere that
Mary went a mother and father, ut
terly estranged, followed.
As their journey brought them
closer to Mary, the two men COM
muned in their hearts with the totally
different images they had set up of
the same girl.
The real and very different Mary
in that instead Of only being what
they thought, was all that and more
slept as TRANQUILITY as an Italian rail-
way carriage would permit.
AS the time drew near when she
might reasonably expect her father to
appear, Mary thought of nothing else,
and grew nervous lest she should be-
tray, in some unguarded speech, the
thoughts that were uppermost in her
mind
Polly Johnston steadily refused to
disclose her plans to Mary. Polly's
nights were sleepless, her days rest
less. 1t was as though she felt some
approaching change and strove to
evade it.
Several wakeful nights followed
their arrival in Venice, and one morn
ing Polly awoke with a headache
Though she kept up valiantly until
after luncheon, she was compelled
finally to seek her darkened bedroom.
Mary knew that Polly could not en-
dure being read or talked to when her
head was like that. So. when Mary
proposed that she should spend the
afternoon In st. Marks. just around
