Nor Margaret watched her silently. Then aba reached ofer to a table at tho head of her conch and picked np an open pamphlet. It was a little essay writ- tan In the prernpbaellte vein and ar- gued against the prosaic outward fur niture of modern life and the spread ing of “the hideous town.” She found the place abe wanted and read: “Say what you will, we are loat ehll- dren, and when alone and the dark ness begins to gather we long for the close relationship of the brothers and Bisters we knew In our childhood and cry for the gentle arms that once rock ed os to sleep. We are horuealek amid this sad, mad rush for wealth and place and power. The calm of the country Invites, and we fain would do with lesa things and go back to sim plicity and rest”— “Child of nature,” cried Margaret, suddenly turning on Liana, “bow can yon be satisfied 7” “Perhaps 1 am not,” answered the girl. “Well?” aald Margaret. “Well,” echoed Liana, and the shad ow of the dear old peaks of the Cor dillera crept over her face. But Margaret bad never seen the Cordillera and did not observe its shad ow. She went on: **8o It came about, around the year 2001. that men began to think, and they aald: ‘Lot us go home.

Then It waa time for Liana to leave. When ehe had dressed for, dinner that night, ahe went Into the library and, sinking Into a ebalr by the open fire, began reading. She waa all In •oft yellow, and a bunch of yellow car nations mixed with some maldenhalf was buried In some creamy lace Just under each shoulder. Presently De Witte parted the portieres and put In hla bead. “Beg pardon for disturbing you. Where’s mother?" Liana took her head out of her book, literally and figuratively, with some unwillingness. “Yotfr mother? She’s dressing. I be lieve.” “Oh, nil rightr I only wanted a pin for my necktie. The little loop at the back has /•ome away, and It gets con atautly crooked.” “1 can give yqu a pin If that Is all you want.” •!Could you? It would be so good of you.” De Witte came In and stood warming his hands by the Are. Liana fumbled among her flowers and brought out the desired pin. - One of the yellow carnations that had been added to make thair-buffch the same alse as Us ^ompaulun fell to the ground when she removed Its prop. De Witte picked It up. "Bravo!“ he said. ’’1 had no flower.” "But you mustn’t take mine!” “Tea. 1 must,” be said earnestly. It waa hard work for Liana to teaiat even a dog s dumb prayer these days. That was why she answered: •Take It. then.” Liana Tnved JWwers With an almost personal lore, and aa the man was clumsy and promised to break the car nation In getting tt through bis but tonhole she offered to fasten It for him.
