Baton to tb story,"
So w went through tb atreeta of
th town out Into a country road and
through a -erttabl lover' lane, with
tb twitter of bird somewhere beyond
the willows on either aide, with th
"Too tu nunie tokioht, da," hi
nutans; ed.
norirng- f a little stream at our fret
and U tinkle of bell bebind u. W
baited on a rude bridge.
"Halite, dear, let' may here in the
pence and quiet forever," I whispered.
She put her baud ou my arm. "I bav
ieckled that I will marry you. Dun,"
be suid softly.
"OU, UallieP I cried and captured
th little band. "Oh, ir.llle:"
Tv bwu thluklug It over since I
aid no, and I am sure it needn't Inter
fere with uiy work. I can't bear to go
way and leave you, and you would as
aoon live in the east us th west,
wouldn't you, ban?"
The expression of ber face was eager
and sweet and sby all at ouce, but
frowning. I released -ber band and
started on.
"You were criticising this town the
other day," I beguu slowly. "You said
your uncle owned only half bis home
because be bas title to only the surface
right, while Mr. Urown owns the min
ing right You sfctd that If you owned
a piece of property you should want to
own halfway down to Chios; that It
must be all or nothing with you."
Hallie flushed, but mad no reply.
"It is so with me. I want you, Ual
ir, but I want all of you-your mind
a well as your beautiful body. If you
are to be my wife you must not give
tb Benton Clarion or any other news
paper a mining right to take the gold
f your brightest thoughts away from
soe.'
"But I Q the best girl reporter in
tb state. They said so," she protested,
with sweet, unconscious egotism. "I
can't give op my work, Dan. I love It"
"No on can aerv two masters, Hat
He." W walked little whll In alienee.
Vhea I turned to assist ber op tb hill
saw that ber eye were wet, but ah
was brav and proud, was Hallie. Bbe
looked op at me. laughing.
Tbua endeth the first chapter," she
aid mockingly.
"So b it," I answered, holding open
to great gate that sb might pass
throagn.
W went through a pear orchard, and
presently W stood among the gray
tone ruin. In tb inclosur were pin

desperately at each on, but tbb? tlm
waa not yet ended. Tbey refused to b
blown away- Laughing, ab went cvsr
to tb catch By corner and sat dowa w
a stun.
"Tell m about It Pan." ah com
manded, beginning to gather tb car
let blossoms.
"Mit rears an a nod deacon Own
ed a gold mine." I began, looking dowa
at her gloomily, "aud In tb foolishness
of his heart be thought tb yield would
never grow less. II said: t will But
Uv la bouses Uk other men. I will

"You ar tragic tonight, Dan," ah
remarked aa an lobbed ber bright

-The ran I Betting." I said, turning
angrily away, from her beauty. Ta
bav bo business to b working aaang

It waa a scornful glanc ah threw
back at m as she climbed th rock ll
to look toward tb west
"I dlOnl think that of you." ah aald
quietly, but ber tone mad m flush
with sham.
"Forglv me. Hallie," I cried, spring
ing up beakle ber. "I don't know what
I'm saying."
"Dear old Dan," ah whispered, with
a half sob. "don't forget me quit when
I'm gon."
Forget ber! The sua disappeared be
hind tb fringe of pinea, and th ca
thedral bell began to rtug slowly, eacb
cblme a knell to my dead hopes. Hai
ti shivered.
"W bad better go. It will b dark

I pleaded for Ova minute more so
that I might aay my real good by to

Halite; then, band in hand, w went
down th bill, along th country road,
through lovers' Ian and back to tb

It waa summer when Halll went

sb cam back. On evening I was
paaaing th bouse which sb bad glori
fied for so short a time, when ber aunt
beckoned to me.

aa I went up tb walk.
I thought of tb tun Halll had
shown me her castl from th esit

went round tb bous and looked up to
