Looking up at the sky as they ever, with never a thought or @ care you will Sara was in a quiescent state thi tion to the situation. conducive to tranquillity. Swain did not pursue the subject. He could see by the way Sara with- drew into her seat that he had been @ biundering fool again, He didn’t know how long he would be able to control his tongue—but he did think that it was about time for her to re- alize the feelings he had for her and to show some appreciation too, When they reached the Inn, where Swain was well known, he made Sara ‘as comfortable as he could. He got a table near the window in a secluded corner where she would not be an- noyed by staring, and then he settled down to a complete enjoyment of the occasion. In spite of the fact that she had always to be on the watch for the sitps and lapses of which Swain was constantly guilty, Sara threw dull care to the winds and let herself go. Her color cane and went in the most tantalizing way—sho bubbled and ohuokled over every little thing until, Swain swore softly to himself, be it never so long and weary @ path—he would somotime—somewhere—olaim Sara for his own. The well ordered dinner, served in @ quiot, restful way—with Swain op- posite looking after her comfort, had its strong appeal, and he knew it. Sara enjoyed it as only @ boarding house habitue can enjoy a good dinner. When they had nearly fintvhed din- ner Swain leaned over the table and putting one hand over hers he said earnestly: “Look here, Sara, Why don’t you make up your mind to take me? I can help you get a quiet divorcee and then we'll be married, Say yes!” he pleaded. Sara looked at Swain in a somewhat speculative mood. He was soft and flabby with good living and elf in- duigence. He was older than she by somo twenty years, He had a fine head and firm chin and if he could have been trimmed down to more agrevable proportions, he would have sighed gently. Then she determined to be quite frank, She thought Swain deserved that at leaast at her hands. “Do you know,” she countered, “I sometimes wonder if I have any heart atall? 1 was once desperately in love with Jim, He thinks I am still, But I feel so*oold and hard inside that 1 don't believe I bave it in me to love any one.” “I'm not talking about loving mo,” said Swain bluntly. “I'll take care NEWEST THINGS IN SCIENCE.
