"I am very sorry," began Helen In
evident distress, 'bur
Richard Hilton held up a restraining
band.
"Don't go on. I know what you
mean," he said heavily. He was star
ing at the third finger of her left hand,
where a curious ring scattered pris
matic raya of light In the June sun
nhtne. She followed his glance toward the
ring, and her check flushed hotly.
"Of course It is Littleton, after all."
be said as if stating an undeniable
fact Then, with a slight bow, he
turned and walked away down the
sandy shore.
Miss Vineent looked after him with
dated brown eyes and a Etrangely
numb feeling in her heart. When he
had rounded the lighthouse point and
disappeared within the shadow of the
'tall structure she shivered a little, as
If with cold. She had been perched
among the bowlders under the shelter
ing cedar clothed banks when Hilton
had found her an hour before, and
still she sat there after his departure
with wistful, dreamy eyes fixed on
the flashing sails beyond the breakwa
ter. "Hello, little cousin! Been looking
everywhere for you. I might have
guessed you'd be somewhere by the
ead sea waves." Jeffrey Littleton
swung himself to a seat beside her and
gathered a handful of white pebbles
from the crannies of the rocks.
He was a slightly built, rather good
looking young man with eyes placed a
trifle close together and a small rose
bud mouth like a girl's. He caught
Miss ' Vincent's sun browned hand
with an air of possession that changed
to consternation as she pulled It has
tily away.
"I am only your fourth cousin, Jef
frey," she said petulantly.
. "It Is quite evident that you wish
the relationship was still more dis
iant," he said ruefully. He took care
ful aim at a stone down on the water's
edge and shot a white pebble down
ward. "How do. you like Miss Wen
deli?" he asked with elaborate care
lessness.
' "She Is charming!" cried Helen en
VON'T YOU KEEP THAT, HELEN, JUST
FOR RLME11BRANCE ?"
thusiastically. "I like her immensely.
You know we were at school together,
although in different classes."
"Handsome what do you think?"
Jeffrey asked.
"She Is lovely," said Miss Vincent,
looking curiously at him. For the
first time since their engagement three
years before Jeffrey was showing in
terest in another woman.
How gladly she would have wel
comed the diversion during the last
twelve months of her awakening to
what love, really meani!. But. no:

Jeffrey had boon a devoted lover, ap
pnrently blind to her growing Indiffer
ence toward him.
The fuct tluit their betrothal was a
family affair and as yet unannounced
would have made it ensier for her to
have told him the truth and thus
broken off the 'engagement; but a cer
taiu pity for him bad stilled the words
that bad so often trembled on her Hps,
for only since the advent of ltlchard
Hilton Into her world had she known
what love was that sweet 'upland
path that one knows Instinctively
lends to heights of bliss heights
whence it takes a lifetime to descend.
It was the old story of a pledged
word and a love come too late. She
had turned Hilton away and Jeffrey
was speaking again In a slow, hesitat
ing way, very unlike his usual man
ner. "You remember that day In Rome
when we were looking in the wlndew
of old Rlconi, the goldsmith, and we
both saw the ring?" He touched her
finger gently with one hand.
"Yes," she said, a little breathlessly.
It was not often that Jeffrey spoke of
such matters. Their engagement had
been singularly free from sentiment.
"And yon admired Its quaint setting,
and so I bought it and we called It an
engagement ring," he went on lightly,
"It Is needless to relate that the houses
of Vincent and Littleton rejoiced great
ly and that our boy and girl attach
ment settled into a Darby and Joanr
flatness.,, There was a tinge of bit
terness In his voice that caused an up
lifting of her pretty brows.
"AndT she suggested haughtily.
"I have thought perhaps you might
have tired of me and wanted your free
dom, only-jour conscience you know
you have a conscience, little cousin"
"I am sorry. Jeffrey, that my 'con
science, as you call It, has been the
means of binding you to an unwelcome
contract No; do not speak," she said
coldly. "It is true that I would never
have been the one to break the engage
ment because my word Is my law.
and" Her voice broke suddenly.
"1 thought you'd be pleased." cried
Jeffrey In consternation. "You know
Hilton you see" He stammered
confusedly as she started to her feet
"Be still;" she said in a low, passion
ate voice. "Don't you know that yeu
are too late now? Why didn't you jilt
me before?" She sank bnek on the
rocks and buried her face In her bands
with a little sobbing cry.
Jeffrey reddened darkly at ber
words. He scrambled down from the
bowlders and stood on the beach be
fore her. "I am very sorry, Helen. I
know you think I'm a cad. but I can
not explain. You may understand
some day."
"Waif she said scornfully, lifting
a tearful face to his. "ion must un
derstand that I am not breaking my
heart over your desertion. It Is be
cause I have just sacrificed a lifetime
of happiness for such as you!"
She drew the brilliant ring from ber
finger and held it toward him.
"Won't you keep that, Helen, Just fot
remembrance?" be asked awkwardly.
"I cannot" she said coldly, and It
droppeainto his reluctant band. Pres
ently be found himself following clear
ly defined footprints In the damp sand.
They skirted the beach and circled the
lighthouse. When they ceased Jeffrey
found himself face to face with Rich
ard Hilton. o.
"Hello, Hilton!" he said genially,
evading the other man's miserable
eyes. "Going down the beach? If
you are I wish-you'd Just take this
handkerchief to my cousin Miss Vin
cent She's sitting on the rocks be
yond the point." He held out a morsel
of cobweb and lace.
Hilton hesitated.
"I don't know," he said doubtfully.
"You see, I'm waiting for the 4:30
train. I'm going back to the city to
night Important business"
"Well, all right You see, I'm going
to take that same train myself must
catch the Lucretla tomorrow morning
going abroad for three years, and"
"I guess I'll have time to run up
there with It," said Hilton eagerly.
"Goodby, old man! Hope you have ti
good time. Goodby!" He swung
around the point with the fluttering
handkerchief in his hand.- Jeffrey fol-
lowed bis going with a strange smile
on his lips.
He opened his clinched right hand
and disclosed the curious little ring
which Helen had' returned to him. As
he looked at it his full lips stiffened
into strnlebt. Iiard lines. He lifted his

"Goodby, everything!" he muttered
grimly. Then he turned and walked
briskly toward the railroad station.
The Barber Hit It.
On one -of bis visits to London
Joachim, the great violinist, entered a
barber shop for a shave. The barber
did not know him and eyed his flowing
locks with the air of a man who knew
Just what ho would do to them when !
be got his customer In the chair.
"Hair cut, sir?" he demanded, with n
tone that called for an affirmative an
swer. , '
The virtuoso signified his perfect sat
isfaction with the length of his hir-'
sute adornment. '
"Just n little long nt.the back," the
barber Insinuated as he adjusted the ,
cioth. , j
Joachim explained that he liked It J
that way, and the tonsorial artist was
silent for awhile. j
"Rather thin on top, sir," he said, i
conveying his own Idea that to sacrl-j
flee length to thickness was poor policy, j
But Joachim glared at the barber and ;
tossed his lionlike mane. The barber I
scraped away for awhile In a moody,
discontented fashion. 'But It was hard '
to discountenance him.
"Better let me trim the edges for ;
you, sir. Just half an inch all around." I
Joachim remained firm, however, and.
then the barber, losing what little tact ;
and ingenuity he had, vented his feel-' Un'Sintv at B.lh.ii
