If Arline had told any of her friends that she hesitated accepting this: paragon they would have raised their hands in horror and cried, ‘*What more does she want??? She herself didn’t know. That was the trouble. When he was not near she felt she loved him; but when he was with her often she became dissatisfied. Deep in her heart was a little uncer- tainty. Oneo he had angrily kicked her brother’s small tramp dog. This sho could not forget. And then again, he made sport of her settlement work and ‘> settlement friends. This she could not forgive. But she surely cared a great deal for him, whether the feeling was love or not—that was the question. Turning toward the library table she tenderly toyed with the rich red roses that stood in the high Japanese vase. “*He surely is thoughtful,’? she mur- mured. “My love is like a red, red rose,’?

Then again the troublesome words, “Only a gutter child,’’ flashed across her mind, and in answer the thought came, ‘‘This is a man,’’ and all at. once, as a beacon light from the dark- ness, she knew her own heart.
