He tells his love to Chris. At was more abashed than if the heavens had opened with thunderbolts. He had expected thunderbolts, and in a sort of way had braced himself to receive them; but he had no armor against these teasing shafts. He col- ored to the ears and was acutely em- barrassed, wincing at every allusion to his outrageous conduct. She seemed to enjoy making him wince—found a wicked zest in it. Everything he said was gently ridiculed. That he should be in love with her was apparently the most ridiculous thing of all. She re ferred to his word ‘*‘choose” and tangled up all his blurting explana tions. “Men are all egoists,” she said cruelly, “and the contempt you have for us is o aniczes.

Matt would have clasped her again in his arms, but she gently resisted He was to go, she said. Had he not taken enough already? Was she not 8o spent that to take more would kill her? Besides, she wished to be alone —to nestle to her heart the sweetest moment of her life, without even that great big him to disturb her. He was such a disturber! He would kiss her again and she would lose all the others —~those precious first ones that would always be the dearest. No, he was to go. Please, he was to go. Please, it was a favor. He perceived that she was in earn- | est, and something told him. moreover, that she was with difficulty holding back her tears—those tears which it would be a sacrilege for him to share 8o, manfully, and with a quickening perception, he made no further demur. but turned and left her, iooking back once to wave his hand, and to take one last look. But she loved him. That was all his dizzy head could hold. She loved him. Christine Marshall loved him. She was willing to strip herself of everything to follow him the wide world over. Noth- ing could matter now, nothing could hurt bim. Chris loved him! He had completely forgotten the frock coat person. he of the silk hat and the beard and subdued masterful- ness, who had clung to his front wheel with agitated pertinacity hardly three hours before.
