meant it so or not.
The room was empty, but It could
not be so long, for sentimental groups
would wander back from the supiier
room.
As Alphonse disappeared Camille
said: "Marie, I'm seeing things as 1

with you alone. Just ten minutes; that's
all I ask. but alone, where no one can

“Would It lie right?” she asked. He

He took a man’s coat from the wall.

her shoulders.
“Give me your hand.” she added
and, taking It, led the way for half a

a key from the wall and turned It in a

She did so snd drew out a handful.
He took one and scratched It "i the

half burnt candle that stood ou a chest
of drawers and then turned to Marie.
“We have never used the room since
Philippe died,” she said.
“I did not know,” he rejoined gently.
“Philippe had lieen to Montreal,”
she said. “There he'd fallen In with a

The voice was low and swe-t and

hungry look; then there waa a little cry
from her, and in an Instant he was
kissing away two tears that slowly
gathered and as slowly fell down her
hot cheek. The woman had conquered
at last, in spite of the “great men of

and, having conquered, having Justi
fied herself, she was ready for sacri

out all his past to begin life with her,
she was ready to immolate herself.
She loved him so well that she thought
ouly of bis good.

“You wish me to go,
