She sat facing him at a small table in the same al- cove. “Ara you looking Wilton Dillingham?” Millér, who wa at the girl with asked Margaret Phil's dinner partner. “Yes, sho reminds me of a wild fiower in carly spring, deiicate and fragile.

I was young, too once upon a time,” said Margaret, “and I know.” “You are still young: “Den’t!” cried Margaret, sharply, “I am 30 today.” When they were ready to begin' dancing Margaret took Phil to the ta- ble where Wilten Dillingham and Ma- rie Lester still sat, talking earnestly. “May I present thie famous bachelor, thing that was. She did not like its aspect. What woman does? The brav- est woman in the world quails when life draws her firmly to one side and says 40 her: “My dear, it's a case of the sheep and the goats.

Still happy is she Those hus- band has preceded her. But to go alone and to leaye the one dear being in ali the world to you behind! Well, that is the penalty many a woman pays for marrying the man that is too young for her. He had not seemed so0 much too young fifteen years before. In fact, she had scarcely thought about their ages at all. She was thirty-two, fresh and fair. He was twenty-two and looked oider than he was. He said ten years was mothing. “You wouldn't object, dear, if T were that much alder than you. Why, then, should yon ob- ject because I bappen to be that much her pace with Seth.

He has been admiring you all throygh din- ner.” ¥ Wken it came his time to claim her for a dance, Phil whirled her around the hig ballroom once gnd then led the way out on an upper porch, screened in and hung with vines and great clus- ters of trailing arbutys. “lI wonder where the Dillinghams bought this arbutus. It makes me homesick for my litfle stone lodge in the mountains.” “I brought it,” answered the girl, “and it makes me homesick, t0o.” “If you-love the mountains, we have one strong bond of sympathy between us,” he old her. “I was born in the mountains.” “About eighteen years ago?” “A woman who tellg her age will tell anything,” laughed Marie. “I am old- er perhaps than I look.” = Wilton Dillingham appeared in the hig arguments. It is true she had been quite willing to be persuaded. She loved him and she was not un- wise when it came to men and their ways. She had at least four chances to mar.*—chances which ber.friends seolded b v for refusing.. She, how- ever, had her own opinion of these chances and clung to it. She knew that Happy thc woman* Carl Potter wanted her for her money; that old Mr. Dacre wanted her be- cause she was young and could take - care of him in his old agé; that Claude Jones and Albert Fairlis asked her, the one because it was his moth- er's wish, the other beeause it was his father's. In every-imstamce her money was the main regard. But with Seth it had been different. He had money of his own and he saw onlleer_ It was the love of a boy for a Woman. Every boy exsperiences that laye. It won her heart beeauise in all her. Jite she had never known such love be- fore, . . .5 § &b They had had fifteen happy years. Up to the present time she had kept open decorway. “I was sent to take this girl away, Brockford,” he said. “A half dozen fellows are ready to en- gage you in duels because you have kept her overtime.” Phil stood watching the girl’s slen- der -figure move across the bailroom by her young host. He turned then, broke a little sprig of arbutus and sat down on the bench they had just va- cated, thinking of his own lost youth. Marie Lester was the embodiment of the springtime and joy of life. She was to marry Wilton Dillingham, a good example of a club and scciety man. Women choose strange mates, mused Phil, looking down at the dawn-pink arbutus flowers. Something long dormant, stirred in his heart.

But in her ‘soul she wrestled and felt herself suc- eumbing, 5 She began to consider Seth when :they wgré out. He had érown very fine-looking—the type of man every young woman adores, There was one “girl, that Clifford girl, Maude—. She had never been jealous until one might she saw the three of them reflected in ‘ome mirror—Seth, hLerself, and glow- !ing Maude Clifford. It was not so much jeglogsy then as fear and he‘art— .sickness, Sometimes she saw Seth looking at her strangely, but when she 2sked him why he always shock his head and _sighed. For some time now he had seemed abstracted, sad, troubled. But he would say nothing. And she dare not question him lest he-tell her the truth! At least, so long as she did . mot actually know: there was some lit- tle relief in doubt. - For four days now he had been away {n'the city. It was the first time he had ever gone away from her and stayed so long. He had given no excuse for his going beyond a nNr- mured excuse, “Business.” Of course, she knew it was not business. What was.it? He was coming home toni he had written to say so! That much, but no more. And here in ‘her room she was making ready for him. had summoned ail her forces, br up all her reserves. But wh looked into the glass she felt defeated, Slowly she came out of her misery and raised her head. The hands of the little ivory clock on her dresser had traveled a long wayesince she had glanced. at them last. She had bare- ly time to resume her composure, put on her gown and get downstairs to welcome her husband. She put on'a pink gown that he liked to see her wear, but her skin refused to reflect its joyous color. One thought throbbed in her like an extra heart. What had Seth been ahout in the.city?
