All the world was at rest but him, he thousht, bitterly and vet, he too might have been at peace in his old home to-night in Lindenlea had the wanderlust never seized him. He stirred uneasily: around his desk seemed to cling the faint haunt- ing fragrance of the lilac bush, al- though no spray of the blossom could he find in the room. It was a for- bidden flower in the Brewster man- sion. Twenty years was_since he had touched a spray of white lilac, and that was the night he had hidden Bvelyn- Lelcester and Lindenlea a long, last forewell.

Years and aceans mav divide us, but the white lilac will always be to us the emblem of our unity.” Bird-wing and bird-song were silent as they parted; the wind sighed soft- Iy through the weeping-willows. and the great, white moon shone full up- on_the Iilac bush. He would return, he told her, e had become rich and famous: in_the little stone church on the hill half buried in vy and together they would roam through the broad, beauliful world dren on a holiday He had fought nis way in the city step by step until he had secured a foothold; the way was hard and paved vith many difficulties and left him little time for the sweeter things of life. His letters to Evelyn were short and as he now remembered, must have been unsatisfactory, and vet, she was even in his thouzhts, queen of his castles in Spain, the bright particular star of lonely life. The blows that had shattered his every gream came with terrific sud- denniess. In a paper from his home town he read the notice of her mar— riage 10 John Brinslee, the rich man of the villaze. He had uttered no sound as he read it, the wound was too deep. For Evelyn he had no blame, but in his heart he registered a vow of vengeance against the man who had him. Fate had early the game, for Xd- ward Brewster had risen to the office when i of president of an_immence corpora- | | i i i { on In which John Brinslee held a high and trusted position. The two men never made any tense ‘of friendship; each one wary of the other. Wearily the great financier rose from his desk, at the same time open- ing an important-looking envelope that had escaped his attention. As he read its contents, the shadows dropped from his face as by magic, and a light of almost insane triumph dawned in ihis eyes. The moment for which he had longed, prayed and hoped for 20 years had come at last During his absence abroad, Brinslee’s enemies had been busy weaying a web around him from which he had found it impossible to extri- cate himself, and they had compelled him to resign his position. His friends, claiming him innocent of the charges brought against him, had forwarded reinstatement to the president with the request that he sign it and place John Brinslee back in his old po- Sition. Wonld he sign it? Yes, when John Brinslee could give him back the vz ished years of his life with the ful- filment. of his youthful dreams: when he could repay him even in pa the loneliness and misery of Then and not till then would he Fie threw the paper on his desk a little white box hitherto unmot brushed ~his hand. Mechanically opened it, and shook from its satin be a spray of white lilac. He fell heavily into.a chair and his head sank forward on his outstreached hands. He remem- bered his promise and she had membered, it, t0o, but surely no human beating heart that had suffered as he ad for 20 years could be expected to relinquish this cherished dream of re- venge for a buried romance. And still, the little spray of fragrance pleaded silently for its own and finally won. With trembling hands and eves that saw not, Edward Brewster signed his name to John Brinslee’s reinstate- ment. The shadows of twilight quietly fell in’ John - Brinslee’s office; the room was desérted save for the bowed figure sitting silently at his desk.
