In her world he made a figure striking and incongruous. Yet he lingered on obstinately, in part (he told her) because it was his passion to study every side of life. but mostly because he loved her and never would willingly give up hope of winning her He would never leave, he protested, till she went with him. “Leonora!” he plended. with me In a momeat of determination tried to put sentiment aside with a hard little laugh of scorn. “] guess you don’t understand: Red would kill me if 1 chucked him!" “He would never find you where 1 would take you, to my home in Spain: or if he ever did, he would not dare lift eyes to you, or know in you, a gave peace of disastrous to acence she H a tisfacticn departed his in face seemed tenderness as “Come ” she “You Love Me, Leonora—at Last” lady, moving in the world for which she was born, the girl he knew ag Leo. nora and lgved—after -his fashion with whatever feeling it Is he calls love!
