There was no one to spy The In- tlnctlve delicacy of the French tern - porament realized that theso two would have something lo sa lo each other. Ho knelt before her. for In no other way could he exhibit what his heart prompted. Merc words would not ex press till he felt. Act must accompany them. He bent his head He had tossed his cap upon tho ground. She sazed down through her tears, re - Straining her Impulse to clasp his head to her breast. He hissed her hand lowly and then lifted ills eyes to hers, "Forgive me, Evangeline, for the brutal thing I did before them all. I should have waited. Such love as t have for you Is a sacred treasure. I did not mean to show It. But I wanted them to understand for jour sake, Now t tell jou that I love jou. 1 kneel for jour forgiveness, dearest. 1 took much for granted. But there are times In love when one must be bold " She put her soft hands ug.ilnst his cheeks and raised him gently. He came to his feet before her. "Yes, there nre times when one must be bold," she replied. "It 'Is bold for ma to be here to say what I am gplng to say to you. But I am not a Ijoquette. Walt one moment!" His arms were about her "There will not Jbe other moonlight nights for us verv soon. I am going to my work. Tho i people there will not understand as these folks here understand. You , must not come to the big school to court the daughter of Vetal Beaulieu. So I tell you novv I love vou I love you I am not ashamed. I love jou" Her arms went up around his neck and ho smothered her words in a kiss ln which soul pledged soul. A moment later she struggled from his arms. "It Is forever," she gasped. "It Is I my pledge to you forever. An Aca dlan girl gives her lips to only one. When all our clouds have cleared away and j'ou shall come for me 1 will be waiting." Ho called her back. She was about to enter the house, thinking that he would follow. Ho folded her ln his arms once more and kissed her. "It Is good night," he whispered. "I can't go in there new. I want to take my Joy out under the moon and the stars and consecrate myself to It. Good night, my beautiful Evange line. I will watch over you I will be near to help you when you need help. But I understand what jour life must be until our troubles an arranged; I'll be prudent but I shall keep on loving you." He released her and called his adieus to those within. Ho waved them back when they rushed out with words of protest. "I must ride on I cannot wait even for the wedding feast." He took the glass which Hebert thrust at him. "I drink happiness to bride and groom, and to all within." He turned up the glass and sprinkled the last drops on the threshold. Ho shut his eyes aJter he mounted his horse, so that he might keep the memory of the glorified face he had singled from all the others when he I turned from the open door Th thrill of her kiss was on his lipsand tho Joy of "I love jou" was -singing In his heart. CHAPTER VI II .In Edict in Acadia ' THOUGH wet clouds swung low in the morning and the robins were chirruping for rain, Fiddler Billedeau was ready for the road betimes. "I have a passenger," he said, when the good folks urged him to wait. He understood the look Evangeline had given him. "The summer showers will pot harm. The sun will smllo and dry us. We must hurrj on to tho north." The men, the women and the chil dren of .Jtancourt's clearing crowded about the old buckboard. The girls tied flowers from the wedding bou quets upon the horse's bridle and trimmed the thills with' strands ot creeping evergreen. "You shall come again to Bols-de-Rancourt for the next wedding," de -la rod Rnnnlfi Jack to the girl. "And all tho poor folks will walk many miles some day Just to hear the bells ring for you, Mam'selle Beaulieu," he Si ' added, roguisniy. t "Ah. they surely will ring ail in me good time," old Itancourt assured her.
