Ho had gone to tho Jail on Joo's word, ns a good dog goes where his master bids, trustfully, and yet Happy had not beeu able to keep his mind from consider ing tho horrlblo chances. "Don't wor ry," Joo hnd said. "It'a all right. I'll see you through." And ho had kept his word. Tho llttlo man wns cleared.

Sho had not worn It since, nud he was far distant when ho caught tho first filck erlug gllmpso of her through the lower branches of Uio maples, but ho remem bered. And again, as on that day, ho heard a faraway, lueffablo music, tbo clllnnd horns, sounding tbo mysterious revolllo which hnd wakened bin roii! to her coming, Sho came to tho gnto to meet him nnd gavo him her hand In greeting without n word or the need of ono-from either.

And up ngnlust tho glorious blue of It somo lnughlng, lnvlslblo god wns blowing small rounded clouds of pure cotton, ns children blow thistle down. When he opened her parasol ns they came out Into tho broad sunshine be yond upper Main street there was tlip rnlntcst mingling of wild roses nnd cin namon loosed on the nlr. "Joe," sho said, "I'm very hnppyl" "That's right," ho returned heartily. "I think you nlwnys will be." "But, oh, I wish," she went on. "Unit Mr. Arp could have lived to bco you come down tho courthouse stepsl" "God bless hlml" snld Joe. "I enn hear tho 'argument' " "Thoso denr old men hnvo been so loyal to you, Joo." "No," ho returned; "loyal to Eskow." "To you both." aho snld. "I'm nfrnld tho old circle Is broken up. They haven't met on the National House cor ner since ho died. The colonel told me ho couldn't bear to go thero ngnln." "I don't believe nny of them over will," ho returned. "And yet I never pass the place Unit I don't sec Eskow in bta old chair. I went thero last night to commune with him. I couldn't sleep, nnd I got up nnd went over thero. They'd left tho chairs out, tbo town waa asleep, nnd It waa beautiful moonlight" "To communo with him? Whnt about?" "You." "Why?" sho asked, plainly mystified. "I stood In need of good counsel," ho r.nswered cheerfully, "or n friendly word, perhaps, nud ua I ant there after awhllo It came." "Whnt waa It?" "To forget that I wna sodden with selfishness, to pretend uot to bo na full of menuuess ns I really wns. Doesn't thut seem to be Eskow'a own volco?" "Weren't you hnppy laat night, Joo?" "Oh, It wna all right," ho Hitld quick ly. "Don't you worry." Aud at tills old speech of his she broke Into a little laugh, of which he had no comprehension. "Ma in I o en mo to see mo early this morning," she snld after they had walked on In silence for u time. "Ev ery tiling Is nil right with her ngnln thnt Is, 1 think it will bo. Eugene Is coming home. And," sho ndded thought fully, "it will be best for lilm to have hls.old place on thu Tocsin again. She showed mo Ills letter, and I. liked it. I ftilnk he's been through tho fire" Joe's distorted smile appealed. "And tins come out gold?" ho asked. "No," she laughed, "but nearer It. And I think he'll try to bo mora worth her caring for. Shu has nlwnyH thought that his leaving tho Tocsin lu tho way ho did waa heroic. That waa her word for It. And It wna tho finest thing ho over did." "I can't flguro Eugeuo .out." Joo shook his bend. "Thero'a something behind his going away that I don't understand." This wnH altogether tho truth, nor was thero ever to como n time whon olthor ho or Mamlo would understand what things hnd deter mined the departure of Eugcno Baa try, though Mamlo nover questioned, as Joo did, tho reasons for It or doubt ed thoso Eugene had given her, which wero tho same ho had given her father, for alio was content with his return. Again tho bells across tho squaro rang out their chime. Tho paths wero decorously onllveucd with family and neighborhood groups bound church ward, and tbo rumblo of tho organ, playing tho peoplo Into their pows, shook on tho nlr. And Joo knew that ho must speak quickly If ho was to say what he had planned to sny before he nnd Ariel went Into tho church. "Arlell" no trlod to compol hlB volco to a casual cheerfulness, but It would do nothing for him except be tray a desperate embarrassment She looked at him quickly and as quickly away. "Yes?" "I wanted to say somothlng to you, and I'd better do It now, I think bo fore I go to church for the first tlmo In two years." He managed to laugh, though with somo ruefulness, and con- tlnued atammerlngly, "I want to tell you how much I llko him how much I admire him" "Admlro whom?" eho asked, a little coldly, for sho knew. "Mr. Ladew." "So do I," Bhe answered, looking straight abed. "That Is ono reason why I wanted you to come with mo today." "It Isn't only that I want to tell you to tell you" Ho broke off for a second. "You remember that night In my office before Fear came In?" "Yea, I remember." "And that I that something I said troubled you because It It sounded as. If I cared too much for you" "No; no too much." She still looked straight ahead. They wero walking very slowly.
