«tmmnm ttmnnnttîffntRKntKt » Trail By STEWART EDWARD WHITE £: t: household of Amos Thorpe.Df you de- l.i'erately prefer your comfort to your . honor, we will have nothing more in common.” They faced each other with tbe cool, deadly glance of the race, so similar in appearance, but so unlike iu nature. "1. too. offer you a home, such as It p.” repeated tbe mau. "Choose." At th-' mention of the home for wlik-1 i cans were so quickly forthcoming !:en Thorpe, not she. considered It i .It'll. tb ' girl's eyes flashed. S' «■ i «oped and dragged violently from lie heath the bed a flat steamer trunk, tin- l.d of which she threw open. A dress lay on the bed. With a flue gesture she folded tlie garment and laid it In the bottom of the trunk. Then she knelt and without another glance at her brother standing rigid at the door be gan feverishly to arrange the folds. The choice was made. He turned and went out. -•<XX>«00-«<H>- ZJV LOVE and WAK "By Hate M. Cleary Copvriyh^ 1903, by T. C. Mc Hurt >ose. and ug'y and altogether detest- »bl«'!" “No. Oh. no. It was all arranged. But they say lie Is young aud good. He is very rich, of course. I didn't think I'd mind and now.” She rose trembling. Tlie tears brimmed over and rail down the cheeks from which the rose bloom had faded, "He will be here today, and I—soon I will have to marry him.” “You poor little thing!” The com- passiuu lu Ills voice thrilled her- that and something more. "Don't you know —you do know, my darling- tliat you are going to marry me." Then he had her in his arms and s-as holding her close In their strong and sheltering embrace. For an instant or two she did not re sist. The sweet shock of it all, tlie sense of being protected, more than all tlie ecstatic knowledge of her own heart, overwhelmed her. His kisses were on her cheeks, her lips, and his passionate words in her ears. "No. no!" slie crl«»d and drew away. "It isn't right! 1 must marry Lor Lesslngton. It was all arranged Ion ago. 1 never objected. I didn't know"- "That no. I shan't touch you again unless you come to mo. You didn't know that you wore going to fall in love with me!" Her color came back w'.b a rush. "Is tills," she faltered "Is this love?” lie laughed, a low, couteuted, joyous laugh. "I will answer that only with you in my arms. Come!” She hesitated. Aware of a bewilder ing sense of happiness, she still hesitat ed. But his eyes compelled her. Slie took a step forward, and again ills arms infolded her. it was with dread of the battle to be possessing her that Doris Ware heard tlie first dinner bell that evening. But it was a determined young lady who held her head high and went down tlie stairway to uiwt tlie English nolileman whom it bad been deeideil should make tier liis wife. Would her always indulgent father be furious to learn she was to marry a penniless tutor? Would her weak, am bitious mother weep mid protest? What matter? She would have him whom she loved -loved—loved. “Go in!" Her parents, standing nt the foot of tlie stairs, kissed her. “Go iu, and God bless you both! He is waiting. Go to him!" Then tlie slender figure, all In snowy draperies of clinging lace, was walking up tbe room. “I am sorry to ltnve to tell you, I<ord Lesslngton"- she began, but the words site would have spoken were never said. Tlie tall, handsome man In evening dress bad her lickl tightly to his heart, and tlie arms that closed around her were those that bad been her refuge that morning in tho forest. “John.” she whispered. "John!” “Cedric John Jardine Dynely, I-ot'd I Lesslngton!" be corrected her. "Be I loved, I've won you! I've served for you, if not ns long as Jacob served for | Rachel, ns faithfully.
