i don't know that I sat down to my desk with

absent from my heart. I love you; 1 have always
loved you; I shall always love you, no one but
you. You aro the only woman in the world to
me, Olivia. Take good care of my precious one

You got between me and my thesis today. You
haunt my days; you consume my nights. Per-
haps now that 1 have poured out all my lore, all

walked on air. He held the door open
and watched her disappear up the
steps leaning on her father.
In his haste to reassure her he had
lighted both the library and his fa-

stepped into the smaller room to extin-,
aguish the light. There, on his father's

An open Bible, large print, lay un-

My Deer Thomas—Wig did you write me that

that way. You were too yolin;, and 1 was too
old, 1 feel exactly like an affectionate aunt to-

There was nothing; in the wording of
this letter to which Torn could take ex-
ception, but the information It contain-
ed came to lith with the stunniug force
Of a blow struck by au unsuspected as-
sailant.
He read It 'twice over, spread It out
on the table under his student la np
and. conned it as he conned the scien-
tific works lying on the same table,
over which he usually labored three
hours a dry unflinchingly..
There was no mistaking tile mean-
ing of his guardian's letter. Ile was a
pauper. Broxton, clean- old Broxton,
even bad been sacrificed to keep him
going in Germany. He was a pauper,
and he had just asked Olivia Mat-
thews to marry him. He had dream-
od such bright dreams about renovat-
ing the old place under her tasteful su-
pervision. Everything was to have
been done just exactly as she wanted
it. She had said once or twice in his
,hearing. "If 1 owned' Broxton, 1 would
do so and so." and it had sounded very
sweet and•perfectly natural to him. Ile
had not forgotten one item of the al-
terations that were to have been made
together to identify it. He was quite
sure he bad never seen that identical
Bible before. In gilt letters on the
back he found the initials "S. R. 13."
"My mother's Bible:" lie said in an
awestruck' whisper. He opened the
book again and once more read the
passage upon which the white ribbon
hacl been pressed.

PYRE COVERS p CRIME.
The tragic emotion with which this
A letter was rend was altogether dispro-
portioned to the flippant coolness of Its
tone and was absolutely divorced from
the common sense view of life which
Tom rather prided himself upon al-
ways leaning toward.
To go back to its writer. as she had
put out a coral Upped tongue to
.car � moisten the flap of its envelope Olivia
had remarked gravely to her inkstand:
"Such an absurd idea as this trust

promptly. I think this letter will (luite
convince him. Poor old ridiculous
Tom!"
Her face broke:up Its gravity with
a dimpling smile. "Not that it is not
very nice to have him care to much.
Dear. generous child!"
The inkstand to wbich she made
these confidential remarks was an ex-
pensive trifle in beaten brass . sent to
her by, Tom from Florence. On the
walls of her sitting room hung half a
dozen good etchings selected Intelli-
gently. "Picked up in Rome for the
dearest little girl in the universe,"
Tom, the sender, had foolishly scrib-
bl,ed on the inner wrapper. Her slip-
peired feet sank luxuriously into the
velvety pile of a rich. Persian rug ship-
ped by.. Toni from Paris with a mag-
nificent'`dhsregard for custom duties or
express charges.
Tom, Tom's constant thought for
her, Tom's doglike faithfulness, in spite
of her chilling indifference, were in
evidence turn which way. she would.
She was smitten With a sharp sting of
remorse, which reacted on her temper.
"Is it my fault?" she asked the ink-
stand petulantly. "Have I not always
treated him exactly like a nephew?"
Conscience assured her that she bad,
and so, with a sense of absolution upon
her, she had run down the steps to
mail her letter in the box nailed to
the gatepost.
It was quite late. She had taken
dinner with the Westovers and had
been driven- home by her lover with
the brightest of moons to light them
on their way. AIr.. Clarence Westover

went to tell her goodby.
From , smiles she had passed to
frowns. The letter was distinctly dis-
turbing. Usually by the time she had
reduced a letter to fragments she had
forgotten its contents.
But this letter of Tom's refused to
be erased so readily. From condem-
nation of his silliness and blindness
she passed to self questioning and ac-
cusing. (,

had had so much sorrow already. Oh,
what a hateful tetter to have to an-

about Clarence and herself.
Mr. Clarence Westover's step was
heard entering the veranda. and Tom
Broxton was resolved, by the Magian
touch of love, into a fading myth.
Much More disturbing was the letter
weitten by Mr. MattlleWs to his ward.
It was much shorter than Tom's to
Olivia, but it went straight to the
point with a brutal directness as ef-
fective as a well placed blow between
the eyes. It left him stunned and
breathless.
