,' hot blood rushing to his face, and that
only through a fortunato circunistain e
nd Gregson ascrlbid Its effect upon
him to something that was wldo of the
&uth. Miss Brokaw was a thousand
i'c more miles away. At this moment
phe was somewhere in tho North At
lantic, If their ship had left ITallfav
JShe had never been in tho north. Mno
titan that, ho knew that Utegson 'i in
. 'never seen Miss Brokaw, uiul 1 id

How could ho explain his pos -.,

Ho drew a step or two mure i. e

tho deep pool of darkness; to tho
s'puth and west theie swept tho gra;',

Ho leaned against a gifut n-l:.

more than tony for that. The
thought of It made him grow warm

ir from off tho hay was filled with
ho chill tang of the northern ice-

jiim faco to faco with tho old pic

haunting memories of a Philip Whit
Jemoro who had once lived, and who
had died; and with theso ghosts of

loneliness which seemed to crush and
