It was-a night for Jove, and Nate Tichenor, who had never felt his heart beat high in any woman's | presence, was suddenly thrilled to the | core of his being at sight of Lorry Ker- shaw leaning over the gate. He had a sudden mad impulse to place his hand under her adorable chin, tilt her face upward and kiss her on the lips. For the strangest of all reasons he refrained. He had been reared in Eden Valley; he was old-fashioned, the vie- tim of an iron code of morals and so- clal procedure. Her father hadn't been dead long enough! So he compromised and said, with an effort paternally patronizing, *Good night, Lorry, dear. T've had & delightful evening.” But_ his" burning eyes betrayed him. The girl smiled up at him wistfully, “Thanks to you, I'm happy for the first time, since Owen went away,” she said.
