"Tho first -do you remember it 1" Again that compelling of her memory to a past that for him at least is dead. A passion of auger against him, rising in her heart, breaks all bounds.

"Do you ever let me forget ? And why do you want me to remember? hat is it all to you ?" • "Something; and you remember." He has taken a step cleser to her.

He has caught her by both arms. "Yours 1 yours!" Her voice fails her. Great tears rise in her lustrous eyes. She makes a faint ineffectual struggle to loosen his hold upon her, and then gives in, standing crushed, beaten, with drooping head, on which the unkindly moon is shed- ding too bright a ray. • He oan see the trouble of her -soul. It seems to give him high courage. "Even mine." He lets one of his hands fall from her arms, but, still holding her, moves towards the room beyond. "Come inheie I want to speak to you."

The lights are burning very dimly, and the perfume el heliotrope and roses mingled in asveeteniag the air. He turns to her es they cross the threshold. "There are tears in your eyes," he says.

They say that persons are generally warned of impending calamities, but there was no warning in this case.

"Our Dave" meant to do the same thing on this trip, as he cal- culated to pick up our lost time in the next thirty miles. When we got fairly started on the down grade we seemed to fly, but I was busy with the fire until we were with- in a. mile of the crossing.

Just there was a pond ot water alongside the track, and he had a stick in his hand with a string tied to it for a ftshline. Dave had seen the boy and the special at the same instant If he slowed up the special would crash into us. If he got over the crossing first and the boy did not take the alarm he would be run down. I rang the -bell and he blew the whistle. They did the same on the special, and for that reason little Tom kept his eyes fixed that way. I waved my cap from the cab winclew.
