At a spot about ten miles away from Las Palmas there are some well known orange groves. Stretch upon stretch of scepted trees. they make a lattice-work of smooth boughs and shiny leaves overhead, with a glint of blue sky here and there. The ground was strewn with white petals, and clusters of white blossoms made frag- rant the gilded greennese. A glimpse !ol the sea could be had, and the waves {filled the air with a constant, soft. distant murmur. At one spot in the scented grove preparations had been made for an elaborate plcnic. Pller of soft silk cushions were set upon the ground. On a cloth of finest linen was spread an array of frail china and heavy afl- ver, with here and there some golden dish holding daintles. Two impassive men with lean. brown faces, clad in flowing white robes, stood near. Berond all view of “the feast came a faint rattle of pots and pans, and a little wavering Column of smoke rose from a fire where breakfast was being prepared. When Pansy had come down the { hotel steps for her usual early morn- ing ride she had not been very sur- prised to find Le Breton there waiting for her. Sh | e had had a wide esp‘rlen;:‘c of men and their ways, an e knew what she called “the symptoms.” Gen- erally “the symptoms” annoyed her she felt they had l‘r;orlstlz t‘;‘“‘( ‘her than herself.

They had ridden through the white city, and then on, skirtihg the coast. past banana plantations, cindery- Tooking clifts and a lava bed where the poisonous euphorbia grew, ten to twelve feet high, stiff and straight, like gigantic candelabra. “1 “was thinking about you last night,” Pansy remarked once, between their canters. “What you said about the miry depths. And I remember havis read somewhere that water can always reach to the level it rises from. When people get into the depths thesy should remember tha i1l help them to scramble out.” The miry depths of diss; fon into which he occasionally plunged had never troubled Le Breton in the feast.
