The memory at That look accom-
panied her to bed that night.
When she had put out the light,
and was lying gazing through the
open window at the galaxy or stars
Swinging low on the western
horizon, it returned to Itauu.t her.
In that moment when the guards
were down, she had seen the hope-
less bitterness that was consuming
his soul.
What had haprened to her? She
did not quite know, except that
nothing would ever be the same
again.
She found herself flushing at her
thoughts, and took lhelselt to task
for being absurd. In dnvo hours --
nonsense! Andyet--she was
forced to admit thatshe could not
put him out of her mind,
Was it one of those cases of
friendship that knew neither time
nor place, het just leas?
And did he think the same about
her?
She had wondered why Marion
had not taken the opportunity of
asking him over—snu'ely the correct
thing 10 do in the circumstances?
She had voiced her query just as
they were turning into the yard at
Maltengu.
Marion's reply had been charac-
teristic,
"I eoulflu't," she said. "It would
have put him in the awkward
position of either having to accept.
an invitation that plight be distaste-
ful to him—he's shown Its all pretty
plainly that he prefers our room to
cur eom,rany-or of being extremely
rude in refusing. No, it's up to
him now, If he does the proper
thing I can then ask him to
dinner."
"What do you mean by the proper
thing?"
Marion laughed,
"He should ride across and en-
quire atter yo11, my chlldl"
Would lie do ;o? Or wattle he
put, her down as intoreteriug, offic-
ious, Impertinent—or. what was
worse, merely curious?
She turned restlessly, and tried to
banish itall from her mind, but the
events of the afternoon persisted in
recurring over and over again, and
the eastern sky was flushed with
pink, anti the fil'st faint twitterings
of awakening bird -life could be
heard before she fell into a troubled
doze,
"Know you came £ram Mallenga."
he laughed. "The kitchen boy
told me, He'o a pal of Redfern's
cook, it seems, end has seen you
there."
"That was kind of you."
"Not at all. I'm afraid you will
have to go bark as you are, though,
Your kit can't be dry enough to put
on yet,"
Gale laughed ruefully.
"What will Marion asy?" she ask-
ed with a lift of her eyebrows.
"What will Marion say?" she ask; "
Marlon Redferu's laughing voice
brought them both round to see her
standing in the ellen doorway, At
the sight of Gale she gave au ex-
clamation of surprise,
"Good heavens!" she cried,
"What have you been doing to
yourself?"
Gale introduced McAllister, anti
gave 0 brief explanation of what.
had occurred. When she had fin-
ished, 'Marion looked at her and
chuckled,
"I came over myself," she ex-
plained turning to McAllister.
"When I gut your note, Alec was in
the coffee plantation, and It was
igetting late---" Sne made an
. expressive gesture, "1 brought
' some rugs, so Gale can come as she
is. Pll send your stuff back In the
morning, ,Major McAllister, and
the 0111ue boy can bring back Gale's
thiegs and, the horse."
I eau easily send .them aurora—"
"You have been awfully hind, but
we can send a boy over ]without any
trouble," She burst out luiighiag,
"You must admit it's funny," she
added,
licAllister smiled, and drew for-
ward a chair.
"Won't you sit down?" he asked.
