As Shirloy played that night, ite old Rus ian proverb kept running through her inind. \\hen she had pushed the gold harp into its Corner she th rew herself upon a broad sofa in a feathery drift of clint, cushions and dropped her forehiad in iher laced lingers. A gilt framed mirror hun111ig on the opposito mall, out of which hier sorrowful brood hig ('y( a looked with anl expression of dumb and weary suffering. llr confused thoughts raced hither anild thitiher. What would be the end? Would Valiant forget after a time? Would he marry- Miss Fargo, per halis? The thought caused her a stab of anguish. Yet she herself could not marry him. The barrier was impas sable! She was still lying listlessly among the cushionis whenii a step sounded on the porch and she heard Chilly Lusk's voice In the hall. With heavy hands shiiley put in to thice her disieveled hair and rose to meet him. "I'm awfully selisl to come to night," he -aid anlawardly; "no doubt youar tired out." She disclailed the wearliness that dragged ipon lier spirit s like leaden weights, and I ade him wvelcome with her uual cordiality. 'She \as. in faot., reliev.ed at his coming. At I)amory court, the night of the ball, when she had come from the garden with her lips thrilling from Valiait's kiss, she had suddenly met his look. It had seemed to hold i 0t artled realization that she had roninbered with a re morseful compunction. Sinco that night he had not been at Riosewood. - tanston had lighted a Vline-knot lI1 tho fireplace, and the walls were shud, dering with crimson shadows. I1eo hand was shielding her eyes, and at she strove to fill the gaps in thel somewhat spasmodic convereatior with the trivial impersonal things tha belonged to their -old intimacy, the tiny flickering 'flanies seemed to b darting unfriendly 'fingers plucking al her secret. Leaning from her nest. ol -cushions she thrust tihe poker int< -the glowing resinons mass -till sparl whizzed up the chimney's black mnam in a torrent. "low they flyV' 'she saId. "Ricke3 ,Snyder calls It raising a blizzard ir Iades. I used t.o -thinik they flew ut to the sky and bucame tho littles, stars. What a pity -wo have to gro -tip and learn so much! I'd rathei have kept on believing that when th( red leaves in the woods whirled aboul in a circle the fai-ies -were dancing mid that it was the gnomes who pu 'thei cockle-burs in -the hounds' ears.' Bhe had been talking at random -gradually becoming shrinkingly con scious of his cons trained and stum 'bling manner. -She rad,lhowever, bu half ,defined hits errazul -when -hie caim 'to :it:all in a burst.

Don't stqm :me," h( 'went <cn hurriedly, lifting this hand: "whatever you say, I must tell you , Tue been trying to for 'months ,ant mnouthd!" Now that he ihad :started it came swith a boyish vebemence thai both chIlled and thrilled her. .Ever -In her ,owni desolation, and :ihrinking almost unbearably from tho .avowal the hope and brightnese in hris -voic( touched her with pity. It seemed tc her that life; was a strange jnmble ol unescap~able and incomnprehenmsile pain. And all the while, in the youni voice vibrant with feeling, her uring ing ear was catchuing imagined echoec , of that other voice, graver and mort self-con tainied, but shaken by the sne'nc piassioun, in that IteratIon of 'I lo'.e you! I hove youi" His answver came to l'im finally iv her silence, and he released her hmands which he had caught In his owvn. They dropped, limp and unresponsive, it 'ber lap. "ShIrley," he said brokenly *mnaybe you can't (care for me-yet But if you will marry me, I-I'll be coatenit with so little, till-you do.'' She shook her head, her hair mak, ing dim fiashes in the firelight. "No Chilly," she said. "It moakes me ,vretched~ to gIve you pain, but TI mush -I must ! Love isn't like that. II doesn't come afterward. I know. could never give you what you want, You would end b~y dlespising me, at I--should despIse myself." "1 won't give up," lie saId incoher. ently. "I can't give up. Not so longi as I know there's nobody else. At the ball I thought-I thought perhaps you cared for Valiant-but since ho told me-" lie ettoppedl sudd~enhy, for she was lookIng at him fronm an ashen face. "ie told me there was no reason why I should not try my luck," he said dlIf fleultly. "I asked him." There was a silence, while he gazed at her, breathing despair. Then he tried to laugh. "All right," he said hoarsely. "It it doesn't matter. Don't worry." She Stretched out her hand to him in a gesture of wistful pain, and he held it a moment between both of his, then released it and went bur.~ riedly out. Anl the doo. closoa aShirl.. .a [NIL RIVI P -) AURLEN 5TOUT down, lier 'iead dropping ~lnit her hande like a storm-broken flower. Val laint had accepted the Anality of the situation. With a wave of deeper hopelessness than had yet submerged her, she realized that, against her own decision, something deep within her haO fiken shy and secret comfort in his st ubborn umarsculline refusal. Against all fact, in face of the impo - sible, her heart had been clinging to this-as tlough his love might even attain the miraculous and somewhere, somehow, recreate circumstance. liut now he, too. had bowed to the decree. A kind of utter apathetic wretched. ness seized upon her, to replace the sharp misery that had so long been her companio'-an empty numbness in which, in a measure, she ceased to feel. An hour dragged slowly by and at length she rose and went slowly up the stairs. 11er head felt curiously heavy, but it did not. ache. Outside her mother's door, as was her custom, she paused mechanically to listen. A tiny Pencil of light struck through the darkness and painted ia spot of bright ness on her gown. It came through the keyhole; te lamp in her mother's room was burninug. "She has fallen asleep aud forgotten It," she thought, and softly turning the knob, pushed the door noiselessly open and entored. A moment she s1tood listening to the low r'erular ovartihing of the sleeper. he vending-lamip led a shaded glov on the pillow with its spread-out sil ver hai-. ati on the delicate hands clasped loosely on tile coverlet. Shir ley came close and looked down on the placid face. It was smooth as a child's and IL smile touiched it lightly as if somie lleasant sleep-though had just laid rosy fingers on the dreaming lips. The light eaught and sparkled from somelhing bright that lay be tween hei' nother's hands. It was the enamel brooch that held her own baby curl, and she saw suddenly that wlhat sho had all her life thought was a solid pendant, was now open locket wise and that the two halves clasped a miniature. It came to her at once that the picture must be Sassoon's, and a quick thrill of pity and yearn ing welled up through her ownu dejec ition. Stooping, she looked at it close' ly. She started as she did so, for the Iface on the little disk of ivory was ithnt of John Valiant. An instant she stared unbelievingly. T1q'hen recollectioi of the resemblance of which Valiant had told her rushed -to her, and Mh realized that it .must ble the picture of.his father. The fact shocked and confounded her. 'Why should her mother carry in seerl the miniature of the man who had killed Shirley's breath stopped. She -felt 'her face tingling and ia curious wvak ness came on her limbs. Why, indeed, funless-and the thought was like a -wild prayer in .her mind-she had been mistaken In her surmise? 'Thoughts came thronging in panic h aste: the fourteenth of May and .the calie jessamines-these might poirri nio less to Valiant -than to Sassoon. Bu-t her mother's fainting at the sight - of the aeon-the eager interest she had displa-yed in Shirley!s accounts of-him, frmm the episode of the rose and the bulldog -to the tournament ball seemed <nxow sto stand out in a new light, tbhrdbbing and -roseate. Could it be? -ad she been -stumbling along a blintd tramil, misled by the cunning d(ovetailing of circumstance? 11er heart was beating stiflingly. If she should ho mistaken nowl She dashed her hand across her' eyes as though to compel their clearness, and looked again. It was .Beau-ty Valiant's faco that lay in the locket, and that could -mean but one thing: it was he, not Sassoon, whom her mother loved!l Tihe lamplight seemed to grow -and sprteadl to an unbearablo radiance. Shirley thought she criedi out with a sudden ,weet wildness, but she basil not mon d or uttered a sound. Tihe I)iumination w~as all nbout her, like a- splendlid cloud. The impossible had happened. The miracle for wvhich she hysterically prayed had heenm wrought!I When she blew out the .light, the shining still remained. ThaL glowIng know~ledge, like a vitalizing acud phy3s !.ehl pre'sence, passed witn her Ibrouh the hall to hier~ room. As she stood in the elfish light of her one candle, the poignancy of her joy was as sharp as her past pain. Later was to come the wonder how that tragedy had bent Beauty Valiant's lIfe to exile and her mother's to unfulfilinment, and in time she was to know these things, too. JBut now the one great knowledge blot ted out all else. She need starve her fancy no longer! '1The hours with her lover might again sweep across her Imemory undlenied. She felt his arms, his kisses, heard his whIspers against her cheek and smelled the perfume of Madonna lilies. (To Be Continued.)
