Zara was at her window-, wala.ful, rest -
leas ; she had drawn aside the curtain, and
regardless that the time Was flying and the
candle flickering lower and lower, sat gazing
out iuto the night. .
The night was so still and serene, it
seemed to cairn and tranquilize her heart
the cool soft air was a baan te her brow -as
she sat there, lost in a waking dream,
wondering -how long ago was it that she
came here? how long since she saw Duke
Mayburne first?
He filled the scope , of her life so cera
pletely now that it was,strange and impos-
sible to realize that half a year ago she
had not known him, that a month ago he
was nothing to her but "Miss' Glencairn's

thet they were indiscreet enough to allow
themselves tube driven to conanaunicate by
letter. They hit upon a convenient arid
sate metlaod for the transfer of letters by
the simple plan of fixing upon a given spot
of concealment. Chance favored their
meeting sometimes, and. crossed theta
sometime. The caution they were com-
pelled bra observe irked there, and yet
tended rather to draw them together than
to drive them apart, as difficulty is as likely
to extinguish love as oil poured upon the
fire. So often evening- after evening it
heppened that that first chance meeting was
repeated, that a alight figure flitted lightly
down the balcony steps on to the terrace in
the mellow desk of the' starlight, and that
Duke, either starting on, pr tetatting from,
his usual late ramble, WAS not far off.
So they would meet in the broan' Par9., of 'Ihe
shadow on the terrace, and exchange it ts;air
whispers and Snatch s stolen kiss, and
perhaps, as with iropunity-they grew more
careless, take a tura round the garden
walks; and Zora would glance nervously
up at Kate's window, which also gave on to
the balcony, and fancy she saw Kate's cur-
tain move, or that she heard somebody call
her, and would fly like a frightened deer
up the marble ateps, and would flash in at
lier own open window swift a,nd silent as a
ghestaand shalt -into -her -chair withal, fast
beating heart -only to run the emcee risk
again next evening; __-
Still she did not cease to assert to herself
that these meetings should end " one day,"
and, being fully 'consoions that they could
end in only sorrow, and that the longer
that ending was deferred the harder the
tie would be to break, she yet could never
muster strength to say, " The end is now -
and here." '

-balance ',turned. To his. gleonay "I hate

you shall not be noticed," and looked up at
