If not, you do not know how delightful` a soap can
be. You hold it to the light: it is crystal clear, a -pure,

smell it: it has die fragrant odor of freshly crit violets;:
just enough to make it delightfully refreshing.
There are many other reasons why you will likethis soap;

A Poet would instantly •have thought'
'H promise you I won ,
Howard, fervently, "And I am onof
e
those men who never break promise
,—unless it's inconvenient"
The .phaeton drove on, Stafford went
down to the stream, put up his rod,
chose a fly, as carefully as if the fate
Of a kingdom depended on 11, and be-
gan to fish,
There is this great advantage In. the
art of fly-fishing.:. }bat while you are
absorbed in it you can think of nothing
else, it i5 0.5 absorbing aslove orscar-
letI'1ever. Stafford. worked his fly stead-
ily and syetentatcally, with a light and
long,;"cast," and presently he landed a
glittering trout, which, though only`.'a
pound in weight, was Valued by Staf-
ford at many a pound in gold. The full
began to rise -freely, .and ' he was 30 ell-
greaaed 111 the sport that he did not no-
tice that Howard's prophecy hadcome
true, that the mist had swept over the
landscape again, and that it was rain-
ing, if not exactly cats and clogs, yet
hardenough to -make even the opposite
bank -blur in his
vision.
n a
that,it was- a vision of the. Spirit of, the
Mountains;" Stafford only thought it was
the most lovely piece of 'girlhood he
had -ever looked at. She slid not see Mw
for a rnontent, all her attention UeIn g
engrossed by the sheep which were: now
,wandering up the Valley; then suddenly,
as if she felt his presence rather than
'saw it, her dant eyes flashed round up-
on Mtnand she pulled up the big horse'
"on its haunches with a Suddenness
which ought to, have sent her from the.
saddle : like .2 stone from a catapault;
but she sat back as firm 'es a rook and
gazed•at him steadily with a. calmness.
which fascinated Stafford' and kept hint
staring back at her as if he were the
'veriest ploughboy.
•
And to put it frankly, it was some-
thing - like fascination. She had come;
upon Minsosuddenly, her Peatof horse-
manship had been so audacious, her
beaut - Was so striking, that Stafford,
perhaps for the• first time in his life,
found himself unable to utter a word
in.: the presence of one of the -opposite
,sex, .:It: was only for'., a moment' Or tele,
'of course, that he lost his preSenae of
mind; then he pulled himself together
and raised bis cap She gave him the
o'
vv s.. It
was the
verge slightest f bo
faintest ntdtoatlon only of response to
his -salute - her eyes rested on his face
with a strange,. ungirlish Dalin, then
wandered. to the last trout which lay
on the banir.
Stafford felt: that something had to
be said, but for the life of him, forthe
first time in his experience, he couldn't
hit up the thing to say. "Good -after-.
noon" seemed to him too banal, too
commonplace; and he ..could think of
nothing else for a moment, ' However,
it came at laet. -.
"Will you be so good as to tell me
if I Am far from Carysford?" he asked.
"Four miles and three-quarters by
the road, three miles over the. hill,"- she
replied; slowly, as calmly as she had
looked•. at him, and in a: voice low and
sweet, and'' with a ring, a tone, in it
which in some indefinable way harmon-
ized with her appearance. It was (Mite
unlike the conventional girl's voice;
there rang in it the freedom of the lone-
ly valley, the towering :hills the free-
dom and unconventionality or the girl's
own figure and face and: wind -tossed
hair; and 1n it was a note of dignity, of
independence, and of a pride which was
too proud for defiance. In its way the
voice was as remarkableas the beauty
of the face, the soft fire of the dark
eyeIs.

1r
Stafford; "I must have wandered away
from the place. I started fishing on
the road Clown below. and haven't no-
ticed the distance Will you tell me
the name of this place?"
"Heronclaid," she replied.
"Thank you," said Stafford. "It'sa
grand valley and a splendid stream."
She. leant forward with her elbow'' on
the saddle and her chin in the small
gauntleted hand, looked up the.valley
absently and then back at Mm, with a
frank speculation to her eyes which was
too frank and calm to be flattering, end
was, indeed, somewhat embarrassing.
