She rose from a chair in the shad- | ed patio and held out a hand for silence. “Hush!" and Val and Priston, who were talking, became quiet.

He Leither looked at nor spoke to any other for a time—he held this wom- an whom he loved upon his heart and sald no word to any. Between these two none were needed. But Belle's hands trembled on shoulde: and her transfigured was white as milk. She clung against him with all her s(rnngtl\ and the breath fluttered on her lips with ecstacy.
