CYK1LLA wu the deareat girl In

hearted. Freddy Hroughton
could Dot disguise that fact
from bli knowledge. Uut h had
weighed It against her virtue when
h asked her to b lili wife, and It
did not weigh (rent deal.
Cyrllla Hums and Freddy hud
known earb other slue they wore
tola. Their famlllt-i lived In one of
thoe old-fnshlnned city squares that
re rapidly disappearing before the
Uiarvh of pruKrvea. Only a few of
tle old fiimlllea remained In the l
rtulty, and they formed a aort of arln
torracy of birth, though few of thviu
had any money,
freddy'a fuiher wna a lawyer, and
ant all iluy In an olil-fanhloned office
and met old-fiuhloned ellenta there.
Oyrllla'a father waa rector, who
wore a very KlIT cravat, and prearhH

It had alwaya been underatnod that
Kreddy and Cyrllla were to marry
When Freddy came home from college
he looked at Cyrllla and wondered.

Tet Freddy waa ahrewd enough to
aee that a wife mum be rhoaen for
her wearing qualltlea. And Cyrllla
undoubtedly did wear well. Kti wna

So It came about at the annual
dinner party that, finding hlmwlf
alone with Cyrllla, Freddy took her

"Will yon marry m eoon, Cyrllla.
denrr he aeked.
"Tea," annwered Cyrllla. "If you
are anr you love me."
"I know I love you," anawered Fred
dy. "I lore you well enough to look
forward to taking you Into the world,
where we hall llva our own life
different life
He atopped abruptly. It would
never do to let Cyrllla re I lie that he
had other view of their future than
living on In Hi aquare. And If
little gleam ram Into Cyrllla' eye
Freddy did not notice It
They were to be married In early
autumn. That dimmer Cyrllla bo

It wa ao abnormal that ther wa

meant to go anyway, went
Left to hlnwelf, Freddy pined In
bla father' law office. When hla va

one. He waa moping. Somehow Cy
rllla'a letter deemed awfully cold.
Old Cyrllla love him well enough to
perome hla wife? That wa the qu
tlon he put to hlmaelf.
"No !" wa the anirwer that hla Inner
eonaclomweM thundered out on after
noon. "Not And I am going to offer
ber htr freedom. And I am going to
break away I"
And In that moment he aaw hlmaelf
martyr and pictured the Joy of life
nnder new ikle, and totally different
uplcea.
II told hi father that he would
take hi vacation after all. II went
to th Catakllla and eelected a little
hotel ther filled with ahopglrl and
foung men from the atorea at fifteen
dollar week. And there he plunged,
with aena of awful wlrkedne. Into
new life.
The region wa almply dotted with
hotel. In every foreat glade on earn
opou apoonlng couple, fin every lak
rang out the voice of hllarlou young
people. Freddy flung hlnwelf Into It
all with (eat He made deaperate lov
to little girl who aold perfumery at
Rtacey'a, and bad apparently ab
tracted a good deal of th atock to
pour over heraelf. He apen th morn

And he liked It II wa growing
more and mor entranced with the
vulgarity of It II felt regular Don
Juan, and when the hotel gave the
annuul maftked hall and the carrouael
wa aet up, Freddy wu the gnyeal of
the gay.
II twung round giddily upon hla
borae, aide by aide with a ihrlpklng
young tlilag In block, whom he kept
on her utmteady aent at Interval by
th preioiur of hi hand against th
back of her wulat Then maaki wore
donned, and a perfect whirl of pleas

luHtantly terrific confuilon followed.
Ctrl aliouud that they were going K.

ing ao uuknowu creature, who lay tike
a dead weight upon hla ahnulder, fell

squar with a prufuuud wi of the
Irouy of llf. ,
"Help I Mk wiy 6r lady what'
fainted I" ahouled th landlord' iten
torlau vole through th durkuea.
And aomebody appeared, a dimly
deacrled ahuduw, ttiMirtlug th flgnr
of a girl, petit and allm. with black
mask covering wbat nUgbt hav been
an uucominoiily pretty race,
"I'm th boy." ihouted Freddy hi
had learned that pliran th day be
fore ud auatched th lady from hr
eawirt Th escort not owning her,
turned hi attention to th nearest
girl. And lb struggling ninaa gradu
ally made niov ton-ard th doora.
Th girl bad really fainted. Freddy
carried her, hut when he reached Hi
entrance h felt a audden disgust for
th crowd, II picked her up bodily
In hi arm and made toward th lak,
aom fifty pare distant. The moon
had not risen, It wa almost pitch
dark and he could sc nothing but th
ahadowy trees and In the distance 111
level top of what mimt be tlie water.
Th ahouta behind him had died away
and Freddy for the drat II in began
to b frightened.
He tried In arouse th girl, but her
unronsi'lousnes wa profound, and
only the least catch of th breath
reinsured him that lh wa allv. He
derided that th proper thing to do
would be to dash water Into her face.
He set her down at th margin of th
lak and plunged forward to scoop np
aom water In on of th tin can
that lay In nttmhera among th bushes.
He got hi ran and. aa h stooped
to (III It, th soft marshy ground gav
under him and he stumbled forward
Into the wnter, falling flat on hla race.
A minute later gurgling, putting
flgur. composed, according to appenr
nce. principally of allm and mud,
arose from the bMom of th lake, atlll
clutching the can of water, and strug
gling bsrk up th ascent For several
momenta Freddy hunted disgustedly
for th girl, cursing himself for a
fool. Why hadn't he been content t
slay qiilt-tly In hi rooroT
He loathed himself Just then, and.
In the reaction, thought of Cyrllla for
th first lima la week almost -
Then he ram npon th girl. and.
forgetting hla condition, he kneeled
down beside ht r and raised her head
on hla arm, and dashed th tepid
water Into her fac.
"Wher am IT ah whispered In
terror.
"It's all right. Mi." said Freddy
he had learned that mod of address
too. "Homebody rut th wire and yn
fainted. We'll hav you back to your
place in half Jiff."
Th girl waa quit silent Ruddenty

again. IMIberatrly be bent forward
and planted klsa upon th girl's
unresisting lip.
They were aa cold aa Ice, ftuddrnly,
with dreadful sense of horror. Fred
dy lesned forward. In th light of th
lanterna which hsd been swung from
th hotel porch, Freddy could e that
It wa Cyrllla!
And she knew him I fth got np and
surveyed him. Her fac waa Inscrut

ta!d quietly.
"Tea. dear. Fancy meeting yon
her. I knew It wa you, aa soon

"Don't be untruthful. Freddy. Ton

"From Kve, yon mean," said Freddy.
"Well, and will you tell me what

"I wanted aom fun," Cyrllla said
defiantly.
"Well, so did I," said Freddy.
Rh look step forward. "Ton

how I wanted to break oot "
"My LordT cried Fretdy. "Cyrllla,

"Nobody but you," ah answered.
"They'v all tried to, all of them, but
I wouldn't let them. O. Freddy, yon

"You bet I ami" h ahouled. "Why,
Cyrllla, this I th happiest day of
my life, to find you out And we'll
make our marring dream of happl
