"Perhaps it was not that wey alone. You won't despise me for being mawk- ish tonight?" he asked. "I haven't had - the chance for so long," The night air wrapped them warmly, and the balm of the little breezes that stirred the foliage around them was the smell of damask roses from the garden. The creek splashed overnthe pebbles at their feet, and a drowsy bird, half wakened by the moon, croon- ed languorously in the. sycamores. .The girl looked out at the sparkling water through downcast lashes. "Is it be- cause it is so transient that beauty is pathetic," she said, "because We can never come back to it in quite the same way? 1 am a Sentimental girl. If you are born so it is never entirely teased out of you, is it? Besides, to- night is all a dream. It isn't real, you know. You couldn't be -mawkish." Her tone was gentle as a caress, and it made Min tingle to his finger tips. "How do you know?" he asked. "I just know. 1)0 you think - I'm very bold and forward?" she said dreamily, ."it was your sonn sentimental aboet, through long days of doesn't quite apply—'an wanted to be .onedwho toin—only that nights devoid of ease,' but I can't claim that one doesn't sleep well here; it is Plattvillett specialty—like one wbo "Still heard in his soul the music Of wonderful melodies."

"You do not understand," he return- ed sadly, wishing before her to be un- mercifully just to himself. "I came here because I i6puldn't make a living anywhere else, , And the 'wonderful melodies' -1 have only known you one evening—and the melodies"— He rose to his feet and took a few steps toward the garden. "Come," be said, "let me take you back. Let us go ,before I"— He finished with a helplesslaugh. She stood by the bench, one hand resting on it. She stood all in the tremulant shadow. She moved one step toward him, and a single loeg sliver of light pierced the sycamores anti fell upon her bead. He gasped. "What was it about the melodies?" she said. "Nothing. I don't know h to thank you for Ole evening that yo have giv- en me. I-1 suppose you are leaving to- morrow. No one ever stays here. I"— "What about the Melodies?" He gave it up. "Tbe moon makes peo- ple insane!" he cried- ' "If that is true, then you need not be more afraid than I, because 'people' is plural. What were you saying aboett"— "I had beard them—in my heart When I heard your voice tonight I knew that it was you who sang then] there, had been singin; them for nie an, 'ways." "Sol" she cried gayly. "All that de- bate about a pretty speech!" Then, sinking before him In a courtesy, "I am beholden to you," she Fetid. "Do you tbiuk no man ever made fhlittle flat- tery for Me before tonight?" At the edge of the orchard, where they could keep an unseen watch on the garden and the bank of the creek, Judge Briscoe and Mr. Todd were ensconced under an apple tree, the former still armed, with his shotgun, When the -young people got, up from their bench, thetwo men rose bastily, then saunter- ed slowly toward thorn.

At the gate Miss Sherwood extended her hand to hira and said; politely, while mockery shone from her eyes: "Good night, Mr. Itarkiese I do not leane tomorrow. I am very glad to bare met you," "We are going to keep her all oum- mer, if we can," saki Minnie, weaving her "arm about her friend's waist. "You'll come in the morning?" "Good night, Miss Sherwood," be re- turned hilariously. "It ha o been such a pleasure to meet you. Thank you so much for saving my life. It was very good of you, indeed, Yes; in the morn - 1n. Good, night, good night." He sh ok hands with all of them, includ- in Mr, Todd, who was going with him. He laughed all the way home, and Wil- liam walked at his side in atonement. The Herald building was a decrepit frame structure on Main street. , It hod once been a small warehouse and was now sadly in need of paint. Close- Iradjoining it, in a large, blaint looking yard, stood a low brick cottage, over which the second story of the okl ware- hcnise leaned in an effect of tipsy af- fection that had reminded Harkless, when be first saw it, of an old Sunday school book woodcut of an inebriated parent under convoy of a devoted child. The title to these two buildings and the blank yard hull been includod, in the purchase of the' Herald; and-fhe cottage was tbse editor's home. Where was a light burning upstairs In the Herald office. From the street a broad, tumbledown stairway ran up on the outside of the building to the second floor, and at the ntaireray rail- ing John turned and shook his _ com- panion. warmly by the hand. "Good night, William," he said.' "It was plucky of you to join in that /DVSS tonight I shan't forget it." "I jest happened to come along," re- plied the other awkwardly. Then, with a portentous yawn, he askedt "Ain't ye golin to bed?" "No; Parker wouldn't allow it." — "Well," observed William, with an- other yawn, which threatened to ex- pose the veritable soul of bine "I d'know how ye stand it. It's closte on II o'clock. Good night." John went up the -steps, singing aloud— "For tonight we'llmerry, Merry be, For tonight we'll merry, merry bee" and stopped on the sagging platform at the top of the stairs and gave the moon good night with a wave of the hand and friendly laughter. At this it suddenly strtick-him that he was twen-n ty-nlne years Of age and that he had laughed a great deal that evening; laughed and laughed over things not in the least humorous, like an excited s esoolboy making a first formal call; that he had shaken hands with Miss Beiscoe when he left ber as if be should never see her again; that be had taken Mess Sherwood's hand twice in one very temporary parting; that he bad onakee the judge's hand five times and William's four. "Idiot!" lie cried. "What has hap - pelted to me?" Then he shook his fist at the moon and went in to work, he thought. etenntet CHAPTER V. HE bight sun of circus day shone into Harkless' window, and he awoke to find himself smiling. For a little while be lay content, drowsily wondering why he smiled, only knowing that there was something new. It was thus as a boy he bad wakened on birthday mornings or on Christmas or on tbe Fourth of July, drifting happily out of pleasant dreams into tbe consciousness of long awaited delights that bad come true, yet lying only half awake in a cheerful borderland, leaving happiness undefined. The morning breeze was fluttering at his window blind, a honeysuckle vine tapped lightly on the pane. Birds were trilling, warbling, whistling, and from the street came the rumbling of wag- ons, marry cries of greeting and the barking of dogs. What was it made him feel so young and strong and light hearted? The breeze brought him the smell of June roses, fresh and sweet with dew, and then he knew why he hact come smiling frora his dreams. He leaped out of bed and shouted loudly: "Zen! Hello. Xenophon!" a THE HURON EXPOgITORs In anower an aneteare very darky, his warped and wrinkled vis age showing undeo his ' grizzled bair like charred paper in a fall of pine ashes, put his head in at the door and said: "Good In9.Wilt, sub.

He was kneeling betre in old trunk in his bedchamber. 1 roml ono compart- ment be took a neetly folded pair of duck trousers and d light gray tweed coat, from another a straw hat with a ribbon of bright colors. He examined thesg musingly. They had lain in the 'trunk for a long time undisturbed.

He took a long time to arrange his hoir with a pair of brushes. When at laot it suited him arid Ibis dressing was complete, be sal- lied ,forth to breakfast.

In the local phrase, Harkless bad "run bint out o' town.? Perhaps It was because the Herald's Opposition, as the editor had explained at the time, had been "mere- ly moeal and impersonal," ,and the ed- itor had eonfessed to a liking for the unprofessional qualities of Mr. Watts, that there was but a eilight embarrass- ment When the two gentlemen met to- day. os breakfast finished, Harkless went kivee to the other and extended his bend.

He came back and thankcei her. "Wilt you pin it on for me, Charmion?" "I deal know what call you got to speak to me out of my 'name," sbe re- sponded, looking at the floor moodily.

Hairiness rescued the rose, pinned it on bis coat himself, with 'the internal observation that the, red baired wait- ron was the quedost creature in the village, and set forth upon Ms holiday. Mr, Lige Willetts, a stalwart bach- elor, the most eligible in Carlow, aud a habitual devotee of Minnie Briscoe, was seated on the veranda wlien Hark- less turned in at the gate of the brick house. "The ladies will be down right off," he said, greeting—the editor's eool finery with a. perceptible agitation and the editor himself with a friendly sbake of the hand.
