Many times, during the jdark
lioijrs. which lay ahead of her, Syl
via thought of that drive. They
' had been late In starting, and al
ready the winter fun was drooping,
toward the korlzsnw turning from
" "golj ejLo orange, from orange to
across the Immaculate fields, from
, rows of ? ma pies and' oaks border-'Ing-the

'as jto avoid automobile traffic .as
xn ucb. as , possible the few . ma
chines' they-inet' forced them into
the drifts of coarse, bat It made
little difference to the light cutter.
v 'll'm .beginning to think mother
was" right," Steve . said, . flicking
"their steed into a faster fait with
; Ills' whip. "This sure does beat
"driving a machine, on a 4ay like
this. , JJJddap, f CharUe!" They
spun along, the bell tinkling mer
ily, the. runners cutting through
the icy crust, of the road with a
.pleasant hum. ' "You'd think we
were doing twenty miles an hour,
- against that wind, and I don't sup

Ifon't yon know, sweetheart of
mine, that misfortune can't harm

-' f'l wish it wre true, Steve, but
4Jt isn't. .People who care for each

'things can happen. For one, your

f "No more of that, dear.' Steve
stopped her words with a kiss. "If
you really ee4 :6 strongly about
it, we'll tell her."
fe''"Do. ypv think she would be

' "Of course she would. Mother

of- The only reason I've advised
against Jeljing her now is. that I
want us to be married, first.
There's np , knowing what you

JLa soon as we are properly hitched

"But that won't be until June.

Steve said q,ucklj "and I don't

a re-hcaring. ; people would not
be "so " ready td Blander another
man's wife. And Mrs. Harmon
might hesitate to name her as co
respondent fcn a jdivorce nlt, wjth
Steve' ready to fight 'her battles,
help dear her -Jiame. They .might
even force the ease to an issue, put
the parties at f interest on the
stand and let them tell their stor
ies. Sylvia wais ready enough,
now, to tell hers. The ; more she
thought about it, the more angry
she became at the injustice which
had been done her.. ..She had been
beaten, for the moment, when she
left Hollywood beaten and discouraged-
but Bhe did not feel
beateh now. Her love for Steve
had changed . all that. For his
sake, for the sake of his people,
she was eager to fight, to demand
justice. As these thoughts whirl
ed through her brain she felt
Steve's arm about her. He had
stopped the horse at the crest of
a little hill, and a flood of crimson
light from the setting sun swept
over them.
""Dearest," he whispered, his
voice low and very tender with
emotion, "J, don't want to wait. I
love you too much. June is four
sionths away. Say you'll marry
me now. He swept -Sylvia into
his eager embrace and kissed her
so passionately ithat she trembled.)
"Say you'll marry me Monday. I
want you In my arms for . al
ways." - -
Sylvia did not speak. Her feel
ings choked her. ' But she could
nod her head -and did. Steve
gave a great shout.
"You-you mean it?" he cried,
staring at her, unable to believe
she was in earnest.
"Yes, Steve I mean it. I'll
marry you Monday. But on one
condition."
"There, now," he groaned, with
mock solemnity, "I just knew
there was a catch in it some
where." "Not much of a atch, dear boy.
Only this we've got to tell your
mother before we are married, not
afterwards."
"And ask her consent?"
"No. Not that. I'll marry you
anyway, if you want me. But I'm
not going to do it under false col
ors. She must know who I am
must hear my story. If she be
lieves it, as you say she wil, all
well and good. If she doesn't be
lieve it. we'll have to prove it to
her. that's all. But I'm not going
to deceive her any longer."
"Fair enough," Steve said, after
a moment of thought. "And I
don't mind saying I think you're
right. We'll explain the whole
thing to her tonight, and ask her
blessing. And as soon as we're
married, instead of going to Egypt
we'll go to Hollywood and make
those birds In the picture; business
give you justice or know the rea
son why."
"Yes, dear. That's Just what I
want. On your account and your
mother's more than on my own.
I never should have left Holly-
wouu m me iirst place, 1 guess,
but I'm glad I did, just the same.
Otherwise I shouldn't have met
you."
.Steve drew her to him and their
lips clung together for a long,
happy moment. Then he picked
up the reins and turned the cutter
around.
"Time we were getting back,"
he said. "You'll want to dress for
dinner, of course. After il'nner
we'll teU her."
The sun had dropped behind a
ledge' of leaden clouds, and all the
beauty of the day had gone with
it: Steve whipped up his horse.
"Cold, all right, isn't it?" he
laughed.
It seemed to Sylvia, too, that a
strange chill had crept into her
heart. Perhaps she sensed in
ome telepathic way the horror
which at that moment had crept
into another heart, not many
miles away from where they now
were.

the necessity for the levy.
