He didn't apswer her directly, but, lifting the violln to his shoulder, he bent down his chin on it and began to make soundless passes above the strings with the bow, as though play- | ing some mysterious music audible to | him alone. Then, his eyes closed, he sald in a “You are right.” “I knew it!” he breathed in an odd, soft note of triumph. That driftwood flame leaped into his eyes. “Think,” he said, “just think what it would be If there were no conven- tions and we two could set out to walk over the wide world . . . as wan- derer comrades . . . on_and on and on .

I knew at once this morning.” Some one was approaching them. Padraic noticed this and sprang to his feet from the low stool with a nimble grace that pleased her. od-night, Melusine,” sald he, and as the other man reached them, turned away and was gone. That night, also, Celia lay awake for some hours, but now she didn't find her wakefulness unpleasant. On the contrary, it was so agreeable to lie there in the firelit room recalling the novel things that Padraic O'Shea had said to her that she roused her- self voluntarily several times just as her reverie was merging into sleep.
