That seemed to suit. Next afternoon he alighted from a 1ilapidated cart in front of 'Graass lone'' farmhouse. A river rolled grandly to the south. The -hills wvere blue, save .11)0n their summits, wvhich were -imsoned by the dying sun. From ifar came the drowsy tinkle of a 30wvbell. A slow wind brought the cent of fresh filds and flowvers. Looking from his windowv ever the swveeping river- Magnus. said: "Here ils rest. I do not want hui man comnpanionship-a cultivated min'd nieeds only itself. Surrounded by these eternal hills, amid which lwell a shnple people, solitude should bring haIppiness. Their ways Etre 'net my ' ys, thbir souls are half-developed, but we need not alash." He fell readily into the habits of rihe household. 1t. consisted of Mr's. Loudoun, a silver-haired wvidow, her grand-daughter, Elfreda Loundoun, a. brown-eyed girl of eighteen, with a. delicious figure, a mass of brown hair', and a frank smile, and a man of-all-work, wvho ate enormiously and never said a word. The two women gave him no conl fl(dences, for which lhe was grateful. HIe was forced to admit that their mnanners wore per'fect, but set this down to innate female refinement. T1hey made no effort at all to enter tain him. Hei paidl his moderate bills and( kept to himself. He discovered a b)oat in n' small hous,e which stood by the river,' and ised to pull laboriously a half-nile up the stream or evenings, then float lazi)y do'wn. The heAtrt which 'was in the rjght place began to show seine dispositi'on to stay steady when aud depi' noises came.

The town man dimly recognized that lie -might possibly have been guilty of underestimating the simple fal'ming family. A little later lie began to hold her )n his thoughts and to spealk of her, when on his rambles, as a "Devon rose." This was *a bad sign. In all his thirty years he had. seen n'6-one like her-so simple, so unaffected, so sympathetic, so beautiful. This was a worse sign. He measured mentally the height of his bank account, and fonnd it sufficient. This was the worst sign of all. He laid his approaches with what he conceived to be consummate art. In his story "Heart to Heart at E elitide." published in the Beacon Light, there was a scene in which Lord Ranald de Cholniondeley had said to Lady Blanche de Courtney "I love you wildly, miadly, pas i onately. Your being has entered into my being. As the dewdrop -rembles in the flower chalice, so trembles my soul in your beauteous presenl:Ce. Be im ine-be mine--and there shall be no sun, nor stars, nor tle opal-tinted 'heights of heaven, n.i' thp' criisoi abysses of hades.

It was late in September. There was a slight chill in the air. The girl, wrapped in ilcecy light stuff, sat,* as was her custom, in the stern of the boat, which made no sound as it drifted. In the moonlight her brown eyes shone like jewels. B3e low theim shone the windows of the farmhouse. Not a word had been spoken for half an hour. 'rhen he saidi: "'Miss Loudoun, when I camne here I thought you ignorant country folk. I know now what a fool I was. I must go to-morrow, and( it. makes me sad. I can't boar to thinik I may never see you again. I have never told you that I love you,. but I do sincerely. You must have seen it. Will you marry me?" She did not answer. She had grown suddenly pale, and was star ing intently at the landing-place not a hundred yards away. Suddenly she clasped her hiands, and a wave of crimison rose in her face. A happy smile curved her lips. Then she gazed earnestly at her compan ion. " I have not noticed," she said, gravely. "Forgive me, Mr. Magnus, but I cannot marry you." l'u silence lie pricked up his ears. The prow~ of the boat grated upon the shore. As the girl stepped light ly to land she was taken into the arms of a tall, young .fellow in khaki uniform. She stayed there a full five minutes, while Magnus stood akwardly by. *'Then she turned, saying: "This is Mgr. Ltindorf. HeI has been to South Africa. ,We have been engaged for two years.
