lazily to Derry's side. "The cun-

does not fly hone. Therefore, as the
wind is very cold for you out here,
will you ask me in, that I may be

in her rather dubious pause, "or

"There is Mrs. Frayd's photo-

I not hesitate to lead the way.
Before following her in he took off
his hat and hung it on one of the
nails among the ivy, and when she
half laughingly thought 'this gave
hint the air of being at home there,
she unwittingly touched the motive
that had stirred the lonely and fan-
ciful nature. His gaze wandered
round the room as he noted its
brightness and warmth; its cozy,
untidy, artistic air of homeliness;
the bright fire, the open piano, the
books lying about, the work and
flowers He felt it all with a keen
and glad appreciation which kept
him silent, until she (not under-
standing) feared she was at fault„
and h+istencd to bid:him welcome.
"You cannot guess' what this is to

if he drank in the air of the room.
"You can not tell the weight of sick
weariness that sometimes falls upon
me in that parlor of nine, and this,
quite lately, was its twin."
"But. Mr. Basset (for all her de-
. bonair ways. she invariably spoke
with shyness of any one's brain-
work), "you people your room at
your will. If I had your gift—if I
were a writer. I should never find
any place bare or lonely, I think."
IIe only smiled, for he could not
tell her that it was its being her
room that made its charm to him.
He thought how all the light and
warmth and brightness centered in
her, and how it surely would all cen-

"1f I guess their drift aright, no,"
he said, almost sternly."Let the

about things here; but tell lie of that

'ellen be at ease," she said, lift-
ing the pretty brows, "let is spring, .
for I have found to -day that a bravo
little crocus had pushed its way
through the softening earth."
"It was not spring when you first
decided to stay here—so far ' from
the world."
His smile recalled to her that this
was her own expression, and she
laughed. "You are disrespectful to
your village," she said, speaking
lightly, because site wished him to

hint yet the subject he avoided. "I
wonder whether you appreciate the

"Mrs. '1'ltair would sing," said Der-

"An unmixed delight, if she would

"You might read," suggested Der-

"So I might. You remind me of
Mrs. Martin, who is sometimes deter-

talk of what I might be supposed to
understand. So one evening she
cheerfully began, 'Well, and what
about books, Mr. Basset? Are there
any good ones you have lately read
or written?' "
"Mrs. Martin paid me a call yester-
day," remarked Derry, presently,
glancing up into the rugged lace,
anti wondering whether she ever

knowledge pains her deeply, of

that by my otvn desire I should nev-
