"That's between you and mo;m will go no farther." I was busy in the garden that morning, training sotge early June roses; my thoughts were not the brightest, scarcely in harmony with nature, who was ducked in one of her brightest mantles.

They did not miss me, not even Hobcrt; he was content with Kathleen. The basket was full to overflowing and still they lingered. One hunch of his-.'ious grapes,the last gathered, was in Hubert's hand. He stooped to place it with the others when their eyes met, their hands touched. Was I dreaming/ Alas, no.

I closed my heart forever. The world will never know me as a disappointed woman I thought, llattcring myself that I had quite sueeeeded in deceiving humanity in general, until the gossip had come upon inn with her idle words, bringing to lift the hitter past that thought I had buried years ago. * * r * "(doing to service, .Miss Kenwood?'1.

"I believe she is well, but not happy, poor girl." He believed she was well. How .strange? He had grown weary of her ai of 1110?
