"Inl!"
"Well, old rhnp?"
Iinllna tried lu make hi tone light nnd
iiutiaHclliig, but wna ennacioua that tho
effort waa nouiowhnt of a failure.
"I heard aomelhlug when I came back

"Oh," thought Hnllaa, with ainhlen in

"Hhe IuiicIiihI hero lo day,"
"Oh!" remarked Tom, aliorlly, "Nm.U
hero, Ilnl" with Imiueuao oiiiphnala
"Iher lntit t a little plulu apcaklng bo

"My dear old chnp," he anld, looking
aero Into Tom'a disturbed and angry
face and feeling horribly nahnuiod of hi
own duplicity, "what are you driving at?"
Tom pnuaed.
"I don't like to think," lie anid, with a
triilght, alern look nt hi coiialn, "Hint
you have not tho mine Inatlnct of honor

"Who anid It?"
"No ninttvr," anaworod Tom, to whom
the thought auddenly occurred that he
miiat not allow Ague to tuffer for her
fidelity to hi Intoroata.
Itullaa felt the time hnd come to tuko
the bull by the horn.
"I thought, he remnrkod, "that the

Waa ho, then, only a blundering fool,

'T'erhnpa I am wrong," he aald, awk

after a tuoiueiit' pmiae, "1 know -of

"I'ahaw!" cried Dallae, angrily, throat
ing hi chair hm-k and rlalng, "don't talk

there la nothing lilinlera a man, eapectally
with women, like having a poor opinion

Totn roae, loo, and Went toward hi

"If I waa ttiijuat," ho ald, In hi own

pang of reinurao to about through Iiallaa'

Ho Italia gavo hi hand and aworo to

thla waa the aeal. Then he went out Into
tho garden alone, and, atepplng Inln the
boat, pualied off from tho ahore, and lay
no hla back, looking up Into the moonlit
heaven and thinking with a bitter pang
of Ihla time Inat night.
It wna (ho Ural time In hi life that he
had loved with true, genuine affection,
and tt wa alo Iho firat lime that be had

only one thing for II- to get out of Ihe

He had given hie word lo Tom. and. ao

occupied during her atiidlo: he could
think of nothing but Hallna and w hat pro.

When alio returned homo at midday, Mr.

"Tom haa boon hero."
June turned to Iho window lo conceal

'Ho had Juat been to wo hi cousin off

A aiiddcn dlixiiioa canned Juno'a brain

When June could command hor face
