Mrs. Davol continued. “I see—I see A woman, very beautiful.

Why not? How could I help it?"” g “Don’t!" he warned swiftly, “I've got to thinking about you in a way I never should." “How do you Barney?"" “Think?" think about me, he repeated. “I don't think about you. I can't. I love— love—love you! There, I've said it!" He snatched his hands apart behind him and struck them together before him in his dismay. “You love me, Barney?"” she said. “Love you! Love you!" ‘I love you, Barney. - I've loved you from our first morning together, I think.” “No; no; no!” he tried to deny her; but she only smiled up at him and sald: “Yes; you've known that, Barney. That's been what's troubled you: not that you loved me, but that it was go plain that I loved you.” “So plain!" he'denied, almost furi- ously, for her. “It wasn't. It's not true now! “'Oh, isn't it?.

The voice of the medium and Barney filled in, from memory, the gaps of unimportant words when i the medium spoke too fast for his pencil to follow. “1 still see water,” continued Mrs. Davol, “but not the same water; this {5 smooth and blue and very clear.

He bent his head and drew her hands to his lips: and his kiss, though not at all like the first love kiss she had dreamed to be hers some day, brought her amazing ecstasy. She loved this boy who so loved her and yet, half in fear of himself, half in fear of her, held from her even in their rapture. She wanted him nearer now; she wanted his arms about her, his strength sub- duing hers, overpowering and hold- ing her; and yet she delighted too in his courtly awe of her when he had kissed her hands and released her, catching his breath ,after no more than that. “I've never—" he said, “I've never had anything like that before.” “Nor 1! Nor I!” Ethel cried; she caught his hands now and held him before her. “You'd not? All the men in the world must have loved you, Fthel, the |, moment they caught sight of you." ““And the women, you!

Fpr a few moments he held her against him with her bosom trembling on his throbbing breast; then, slipping his arms lower, he lifted her and, laughing at her quiver under his strength, he strode with her a few steps and catching her higher, he brought his lips to here.
