And now's the time to show Lim vou aren't as simple as he thinks, and he'!l think is it a bar gain?” It was. It was not without many misgivings that Mildred Thomas mailed her letter to George Howard, but Fanny's hints were eating into her soul like vitriol. She must know, now, whether her lover ever had been in love before. That would be dread- Still she might forgive it, but she could never forgive deceit. When the letter was mailed she wanted it back. and all that day and the mext she listened in terror for the post- man's whistle. On the third day, Friday, the answer canre—a hasty, in- coherent letter, full of self-accusa- tlons and reproackes. “I shall tell you about what vou refer to when I call tomorrow evening" he wrote, “and [ shall come half an hour before the party, in the hope of gaining your forgiveness before the guests arrive.” Mildred was looling Ler prettiest when George Howard arrived. He looked so haggard and mournful that she could hardly find words with which to greet him. Bitterly now she repented having been persuaded by Fanny to play that fooilsh joke. But she must play ber part through. They sat down very soberl: side by side in the empty receptio: room “I'm going to tell \\u +vervthing, Mildred.” sald George tumbly. “[ did not wilfully deceive you, for it was only because 1 had put the memory of that mad summeg two vearg ago, out of my mind and heart, and dared not recall it, even to myself. She was the only woman before you.” “Go on,” murmured Mildred, and to ber consternation she discovered that releasing said she had loved me and would have rulfilled her promise but <he had re- solved never to marry a poor man.” | “The horrid cat!" exciaimed Mil- dred indiguantly, slipping her hand into his y “That broke the spell, Mildred.
