N In the Secofid | RowBack | The ominous tinkle of the little clock striking the hour made them both look up. He was first to speak. As he drew from his pocket two slips of pasteboard, his words came in dull even tones, “Here are the theater tickets 1 bought last week. If you care to go, we may as well pass the time there as in any other way.” Before answering she closed her book and placed it carefully upon the | table. She gave no hint of haste nor of the response that passed through her at his words. “Since you have the tickets, yes,” | Just as she feared, he caught her | wrist as she passed and held her in| a firm grasp. “Marian, what sense is there in this stubbornness? You know that I do your going as 1 do your mot telling | me.” | She tried to free herself. “That is not true,” she gasped. “You want to know why I went there. I'd have told you, some time, if you'd trusted me.” “But, Marian, | hear you've been go- ing there for a month, and I've known nothing of it. You knew I'd hite a thing like that.” “Your informant ought to have found out more. Why not have him try again? I'll never tell you, never. No matter what happens, I'll—never ~—tell—you.” He dropped her hand at that, and she went on into the other room. When she returned she had all her emotions well in control, They reached their seats in the the- ater just as the curtain went up. In the half light Marian removed her hat and coat, and tried to settle herself to gather the threads thrown out in the first act, Suddenly into the strained silence of the audience came a voice. “She says ghe doesn’t love him but she'll marry him,” It was a girl's voice, and there was a famillar ring in it to Marian, “Did she say she'd marry him?” This time it was an older, more cautious voice. not care so much for the reason nr“f |the writing out of range of my eyes, | | lhud come difliculty in maintaining my Betty Tnies a | Real Love Test “I don't believe you really care for me,” announced Betty. We were sitting on the top of a Vir- ginia rail fence which wound down through wood and farm land. Behind lay a cornfield, newly planted, a stretch of warm, brown earth smooth- ed by the harrow, and prickled here and there along the rows by clean, green shoots. Before us was a bit of pastnre, green velvet with new grass; the meadow larks winged heavily above it, or sat on the rails of the fence, and whistled, Around us the early flies hummed sociably in the spring sun; and at a little distance, in a coppice, a brown thrasher perched | on the high bough of a small oak, and 1 bubbled, and sputtered, and cheered. | “I'm sure you don't,” repeated Betty. *'Spring, sweet spring, is the s pleasant king,'” 1 quoted cheer- | v, “and how you can harbor such | beliefs at such a season is a mystery to me, my dear.” “That's just it,” said Betty. “The mands a great deal.” I moved my hand along the rail un- til my fingers touched the soft white of Betty's wrist just above her glove, | “I've tried to give a great deal,” said 1, looking at her steadily. A little smile danced suddenly across Betty's face, and then was off again; but for just that shade of a second her eyes had touched mine. Then she shook her head solemnly. “But you don't write verses to me)” |/ she declared, as she produced a bit of paper from the pocket of her jacket. | “l should hope not,” s=aid 1. “I think it's a very fine compliment for a man to pay a woman," said Bet- ty loftily, glancing at the paper, “What's that?" I demanded. “That,” said she, carefully keeping “is a—=poem,” | “Good heavens!™ I ejaculated; and T position on the fence, *“Do you mean to say that come other man has been writing verses to you?” “It came by post last might,” said “Yes, but she does not love him."” There was a stir and a wavering tit- ter among those within hearing. Marian sighed and wondered if ever again she should feel so much inter est in anything as one could hear in that girl's voice. The play held noth. ing for her. She wondered how it was with James. To her the pretense of enjoyment was becoming a bur- den and she wished that they had not come. “She says she does not love him, but he'll never know. Oh, it's awfully ex- citing!” Again Marian felt the stir in the audience, again she longed to see the play with the heart and eyes of the girl. It she could keep her thoughts upon the actors she must for- get, for a little while, her heartache. “He says he's a buttinskl, Oh, he's the funniest.” The curtain fell, the lights flashed up. Marian found herself in a state of painful bewilderment. Sometimes when she and James talked it over be- tween the acts, they could come to a better understanding of the play. She took a cautious glance at her husband. He was sitting severely straight and still, % Marian gave up all thought of following the play. An unexpect ed tragedy had come into herown lite, and nothing could blot it from her mind. Each moment she was be Your | coming more frightened at the out- come of her quarrel. They could not g0 on like this. “Hector says he'll stand by her tc *the end, it he dies for it It was the girl's volce again in explanation, Marian felt a relaxation of her tense nerves. Oh, what a time she should have had to keep James quiet if—: She was back at the old worry again. It pressed harder. She began to be lleve that she could not bear it much longer. She would have to tell James, but things could never be the same »| again. He had doubted her and he had been so cruel about it that he had w. FiSke JOh“son forced her to tell.

Just a little way, and then— *“Oh, mamma, there’s the lady that comes to Helen's to here in the silk dress, the shepherd's check. Oh, she is just lovely!™ him to me yesterday.

I demanded. Her answer was discreet. Betty smiled tantalizingly. “It's not necessary to tell allone knows,” sald she. “All right.” “Why do you want to know?” ques- tioned the lady. “I thought it would be interesting to know who was palming off another man's verses as his own.” “What do you mean?” “Of course you know it isn't orig- inal; it was really copied from an old poet.” “Really?” said Betty, and the little smile danced back into her eyes. “Read your Herrick,” sald 1. “Why didn't you say so at first?” “It's not necessary to tell all one knows."” “But you said it was tommy-rot.” “Just to find what you'd say in re- turn.” And again [ offered my hand. !
