"To what?"
"Well, refund Mr.. Stockton his
money"
Peter hesitated, sorely perplexed.
"But, dear, surely that won't make any

darling? Mr.. Stockton paid three
thousand for him and I was counting
on that to make up the twenty"
"Twenty? II don't understand"
he was desperately confused, "surely
three thousand dollars"

whispered the truth-told him all.

murmured bitterly, easing the mud

sweet grass. ooh, Helena, Helena
dear girl-what a blind rotter I've

whispers as the long lashes stirred,
then slowly the girls wonderful dark
blue eyes opened. Blankly she stared
up into the soft spring sky and then,
recognizing the anxious brown face
above, her eyes glowed in their deep
depths with tenderness incredible.
"Peter," she whispered, while a
timid smile crept to her lips, "Peter,
my Darlington know-now?"
A hint of color crept into the ashen
cheeks as the engineer, lifting her
glorious head kissed her with a
strange mingling of passion and rev.
erence.
II don't dare ask your forgiveness"
he whispered, humbly conscious of her
cleaning hair pressing against his
earth-stained scarlet shoulder.
"There's no need-beloved," was her
reply and a slim hand, that was not
as white as usual, crept about his neck
drawing down the splendid head. "You
were pain blinded, and II was clum-
sy in my method. Even now wouldn't
blame you if you went on thinking as
you did"
A long moment their voices remain
ed silent, for their lips were otherwise
occupied. Then suddenly Helena's
eyes widened in alarm.
ooh Peter, what selfish creature
I am! Bellarion? What happened to
Bellarion? Was he hurt?"
The engineer nodded gravely. "I'm
afraid so, dear, he's got rather bad
slash across his off fore-knee."
