HEN Duncan left bit room on tko evening of Tcuiplw'a con tVrenco with Will Hallam bo iaol down the atalr and Into U Ilallani ottlcca, wurre be till bad a little worklug dcu of his own, for uao when be did not care to eee the people tvbo soutrut bliu at til law office. A bo entered ho found a little not upon bla cbak, nud ho recognized Bar bara'e small round band In the aupr acrlptlou. Opening the envelope eager ly, be read the few Hue wltblu: You may come for your answer when ever It la convenient any evening, I mean, for I am at Naur only In the evening. There la a great deal for me to tell you, and It I arnlriar to be very bard for me to tell It. but It 1 my duty, and 1 mum do It of course. I'm afraid It won't be ilrttaiit evening for eltht-r of ua. Tbcro was no address, but Duncan obaerved with pleasure a a hopeful Igu that tbo llttlo missive was signed "Barbara." ".She wouldn't bnve signed It In tbnt Informal way, with ouly her flint name, If alio meant to brcuk off the acquaint ance." bo argued with himself. And yet tho substance of the uoto waa ills cournglug In tho extreme, ao that Gull ford Duncau waa a very apprehensive and unlmppy man as he hurried to Barbara's homo. He still held her noto crushed In bla hand aa be entered the bouse, and lie read It over twice whllo .waiting for her to appear. She could aay 00 word a bo stood looking eagerly Into Lor eyes, as If questioning them. He, too, was silent for perhaps a minute, when at last, realizing tbo girl's distressing agita tion, he gently took her band, saying In bis soft, winning voice: "You are not well. You must sit down." "Ob, It Isn't that," sbo answered as she seated bersolf bolt upright upon the lenst ensy chair In the room. "It Is what I must tell you." "What Is it? I am waiting anxiously to hear." "You must bo very patient then," she answered, with difficulty. "It Is bard " l'ow are not well. You must Kit down," to say, and I don't know whore to bo jgtn. Oh, yes; I know now. I must begin where wo left ott when well, that other tlmo." ; Duncan saw Ibflt jahQeedjed., assist. ance, and be' gave" Itl'slwuttlng sooth Ingly to her, saying; ."You' are to begin wherever you And it easiest to begin, and you ara to toll mo nothing that It distresses you to tell." "Oh, but all of It distresses mo, and I must toll It-nil of It." Again Duncan spoke soothingly, and presently tho girl began again, "Well, first, I can nover-I moan mustn't-I mustn't say 'yes' to tht questions you asked ma that other time." "You mean whoa I askod If you would do my wirer "Yes. That's it Thank you very much, Hint's the first thing I am to toll you," "Who bndo you toll me thntf "Oh, nolHMly, or, rather, I mean no body told mo I mustn't say 'yes bat after I bad mado up my mind that I mustn't, thou auntie said I was bound to tell yon about It all, I wanted to wrltt It. but alio said that wouldn't be fair and that 1 must tell you myself." "isat wDy dia you make up your mind that you mustn't say 'year Can you not lovo mo, Barbara r "Oh, yes-I mean no or, rather, mustn't." "But If you can, wby la It that you mustn't r That question at last gave Barbara courage to speak. It seemed to nerve her for the ordeal and at tbo same time to point a way for the telling. "Wby, I mustn't love you, Mr. Dun can, because I cannot marry you. You 00, that would be very wrong. Wben you-well, wben you asked mo those questions, It atartled me, and I didn't know what to say, but after you bad gone away that night I saw clearly that I mustn't think of such a thing. It would bo ao unfair to you." "Hut bow would It be unfair? It would bo doing the on thing In tbe world thai I want you to do. It would bo giving me tho one woman In tbe world whom I want for my wife, tbe only woman I shall ever think of mar rying." "But you mustn't think of that any more. You aee, Mr. Duncan, I am not fit to be your wife. I ahould be a ter- rlblo drag upoti you. You are already a man of promlneuce, and everybody says you are soon to become a man of great distinction. You must bavo wlfo worthy of such a man, a wife who can help him ana do him credit lu so ciety. Now, you know I could never lie- coma that sort of woman. I am only an obscure girl. I don't know how. I cannot talk brilliantly, I couldn't lm press people as your wife must I am not even educated In any regular way. I've juat grown up In my own fashion In the shade, as It wereand tbe trong sunlight would only emphasize my Insignificance." "Will you let me aay one word at this point Barbara?" broke In Duncan In aplte of her effort to prevent "You are wronglug yourself and you are wronging me. Aa God Uvea, I tell you there Is no woman in the world so fit to be my wife as you are. My only wish Is that I were worthy to have such a wlfel I Intend, of course, to achieve all Uiat I can-to make tbe best use I can of such faculties as I possess, but nothing Imaginable could so great ly help me to do that as tbe Inspiration of your love and tho stimulus of know lug that you were to be always by my aldo." An occasional tear was by this time trickling down tho girl's cheeks. How could It bo otherwise wben the man she loved and honored above all others was so tenderly saying such things of her and to her with a sincerity too greatly pnssiouate to be open to any doubt? How could It be otherwise when sho knew that she must put aside tho love of this man, ber hero, tho only love, aa she kuew In ber in most soul, that she could ever think of with rejoicing so long as ahe should 11 vo? She would have Interrupted the pas sionate pleading If ber voice bad been under coutrol. As It was she eat si lent while bo wont on. "I have spoken of my ambitions first and of your capacity to help them not because such things aro first in my esti mation, but because you have treated them us worthy of being put first There are much higher things to be thought of. What a man achieves Is of far less cousoqueuee than what a mun Is. That which I nsk of you Is to help mo be tho best that: I am capa ble of being, and for you to bo It with me. I want to muke the most the best tho happiest life for you that Is possible. Oh, Barbara, you will never know how longingly I dream of a homo with you at Its head! You can not know how absolutely tbe worthi ness of iny life depends upon such a linking of It with yours." The girl had completely given way to her emotions now, but with that reso luto self miiHtory which was a dom inant noto in her nature sho presently controlled herself. "You do not know all," she said. "You luivo not heard all I huve to tell you. lou iinvcnt uenra tue most Im portant part of It. I have only told you what I thought on that evening when when you asked questions. 1 still think that ought to settle the mat-1 tor, but you seem to thluk perhaps you might have convinced me. or at lenst oh, you don't know! There nvi other reasons stronger reasons, m eons that nothing can remove." "Tell mo of them. I can Imagine 110 reason whatever that could satisfy me." "It Is very hard to tell. You lunw I never knew my parents, Bath m( mother and my father died on the day I was born. I seem to know my motl. er, because auutle loved her so much and bos talked to me so much abaut ber all my life. But aim never talked to mo 'much a5out my fattier.
