"Oh, I just manage to get round." "Out of your good nature. You would be like that, I wish I could dance with you all the evening." He held her a little closer, but in such a way that the most fastidious woman could not have taken of- fence. Sally felt as if she !anted the music to go on and on, while in a blissful dream she moved with the spell of that magnetic personality about her. But the music stopped. 'She had to wake from her dream, and he had to give due attention to other wo- men. Sally did not want to dance with anyone else, so sat down on the terrace, In the most secluded corner she could find. PresenItl.,t she heard Eveline's voice from inside the open window. "Mush you go so soon, Garth." "Must, my dear! I have to see a man 1n town to-anorrow. I only Ire, had awakened, the spirit of un- rest, of vague longing and, the sense of frwstratlola He was out of her sphere. He had come and gone, and she would never see nim again, But he had stayed long enough to teach her she was ready, to Mall in love with him. She got up and went drown the terrace steps to the shadowy garden below. It was a breathless sum- mer night with the threat of thunder In the air. The scent of roses was all round her, the beauty of the dim light and the mystery of the wood- lands near, made the Dain at her heart more acute. Coming to a seat at the end of the rose gardony overlooking a ,slope, site sat down there, What was wrong with her? Why couldn't she be happy nIOIw she had everything to make her so? She was foolish to let Garth CJhevenix trouble her peace. Why should the look in a man's eyes, the tone of his voice, the clasp of lois arms in the dance, raise this tempest of emotion. 1n her breast? Her nerves were en edge. Pt was the thunder in the air. To -morrow she would be hereself again, and think no more about Inti, There was a rustling in the shrubs close at hand, her heart again began to beat madly, wish I could stay longer." Somneon:e had stolen up behnd her. "Well, we shall see you again She was held a prisoner In the arms some day, I supose." whose touch she knew. A man's "Some day," came the laughing • dark face was close beside hen• own, response. "But you know how I hate making plans. Good•+bye, old girl! Bent of ludk, and all that." "Goodbye, Garth!" "d'll just slip down to the garage Mow. and get ,out my car„" "Don't drive too fast," "I couldn't " That was all (Sally heard, and her heart that had beat with such wstet ,disturbance felt like leach. Goodbye. Good-bye to the most fascinating man, she had ever met. .She wois possessed by the spirit reit, tnougn snore was no actual contact. The voice that could srway her secret being was whisper- ing— "Why are you sitting out here alone? Were you waiting for me?" 'Of course not: She tried. to speak lightly, and to free herself from his compelling hold, "I believe you were," said Garth Cbevenix. "Only you asdn't know it. And here we are. It's too lovely a night to stay indoors, isn't it?" 'Yea," she agreed, ";But I 'thiougiet you had gone." "Not yet" He was holding her so that she rested against his shoulder. "Don't move, darling. You ]wow you're More comfortable like this. Don't left's thrplw away ,a*autnful moments. This garden and the scent of the roses— and you. It's only now and then that every- thing seems' to fit in." Sally felt the same. Why deny hirci —and herself—a joy so simple and so innocent as this? She rested conektedly. There was, some magic balm for her restless pain in his caressing voice, his gentle touch. "i •couldn't stay in there with all tb,plse people," he told. her. "And yet I eonldnnt go away. I left the car in, the drive, after Pd got it oat and I came to look at the gardens-- and ardens—and (think of you." She, could not answer, and he went on—"You did- n't want the crowd, either, Perhaps I was calling you and that's why you came out here, and! waited for me." "Gott --S didnt,t " "That's all you know about it. You came because I !anted you. I was calling you all the while, You had to be here. You knew it, too, though you won't Own it yet. This had to be!" She was willing to believe It. The spell of delicate caresses, of wooing whispers, were woven about her. He held her lightly; but she had' no w,ill to free herself. It 'was bliss to rest with the perfumed breath of the summer night all about her, .the vel- vet skes overhead, and her ideal lover coerce to life, holding her against his heart. "Sweet!" he whispered. "Lovely!" And his head bent over hers. In irresdstable impulse of response she turned, her arm about his shoulder, as hiss lips met hers. That kids --whatever was, to happen to her in. atter life—Sally would never forget it!

He did not kiss )ler again, He felt that first meeting of their lips Unique, not to be cheapened by faanallarity, The striking of a clock recalled then both from the world of dreams, "Darling, pit'stime you went In," he said, !'Aad, I must go, But I'll be seeing you agaiyt soon, Tell me s'0," "Yes," Sally anurusured, "It's, been so marvellous!

"Where the shadows were dense, he kissed her once more, with a lingering tenderness, "Slip in nlow, darling.," She did' not know :tow to tear herself away, best she went, running along a :side path in the shadow, and into the house by the side door, and up toher room. Then she paused, wondering if it had been a dream. She stood in the dark by her window and saw gleams of light from Gatrh's car, as it sped down .the. avenue and out into the open road. "ill be seeing 'you again soon!" She hugged the words' of promise to her heart. Life was glorified' by the meanory of bis wordy and kisses. They found, each other—she andGarth Chenenix! Sally gave herself up, unrestrainedly, to the first passion of .hei, youth. Her heart, that had been half asleep, was, awake and crying out for its awn. CHAPTER 111, "If to -day be sweet--" A •week later Sally went through the rose garden and down through the copse to a now familiar plane beside the liver. Granth Ohevenix was waiting for her there. Was. it only a week since his first kiss had awakened her, as the kiss orf the Trince in the fairy tale woke the sleeping beauty? Only a week! But she hadlived through such, varied emotions since that memorable night. She telt as if she must have known hint for man:, weeks. It had alt seemed unreal next morning, and through the long blank day there had, been nothing to make her feel that it wag true, He had come to 'teach her that she was a woman, ripe for love, and then go hisway, Toincrease her sense of lags, the Rabys had left Bracken Tor Hall suddenly, owing :to the sudden invests' of Peter's father. 'The only link between Sally and her lover at an hour was severed, she believed, in the depression that followed exaltation by a natural reaction. He was, a stranger to everyone else in, the house, Had Eveline stayed' Scilly aright have learned something about him, had at least the doubtful solace of hearing his name, 'I'll be seeing you again soon!" He might have come to see hos slider. He had meant, that, per- haps, or meant nothing at oll, Men said things like that to girls they kissed, She ought not to have cheapened herself but it hadn't seemed that at the time. Ithad seemed marvel- lous and through a second blank day she wasn',t really sorry she had let It happens "He slid 't mean a word of it!" shesaid to her pillow, at the end of another blank day.
