The woman of tho world had vanished, and she was once more tho girl whom he had so adored In his early manhood, and who had taken his love nnd thrown It aside IndHrorcntly when It wearied her.

"I know I Oh. Miles, what a fool I've been, wasting all these years I It seems now ns If It cannot really have been mo or elso that I have been to sleep and only woke up again the other night when you and I met." She was almost delirious with hap pincew. Never ln all her llfo h:td .ihe cared for any one as sho cared now for mm man. witn new numlilty she was asking herself what sho hnd done to do servo such a wnnrUrfnl tritt uh. ,.,un had played at love all tho years of hor ma. Faversham was standing a llttlo be hind her, nnd sho turned suddenly. caught his hand ln hers, nnd carried It io ner ups. "Do you think I am very foolish?" sho asked, her voles breaklncr on n. noh. "It's only that I am so happy, and that I feel I can never make it up to you fot all I did years ago." Faversham looked down at the hand oTl tmlnsf Vt to n ? kin nn Vitwn a.1 How muck of what she wat saying and doing was genuine, he asked himself impatiently. His eyes were .attracted by tho rtnirs she wore: a magnlllcent diamond half hoop biasing abovo tho plain gold of a wedding ring. Ho touched It with his llngor, releas ing his hand from here. "How long havo you worn that?" ho asxea. Sho looked up quickly, her face flush Ing. "How lone? Oh. I forc-ot hom rlnv 1 will toll you all about It, Miles, but don't ask me now. I'm too hauny to want to look back, or even forward. I've got tho present. anu us enougn. Thero was a little sl'.enco. Faversham stared Into tho fire with gloomy eyes. He knew that ho had never Intended things to take this turn. His anxiety to help Mrs. Tranter hod been real, nnd hl3 desire to purlsh this woman had been nll-oompelltng, but ho felt that ho hnd taken a mean ndvantara of her, tlmt ho had been fighting her with unfair weapons. With all his faults Faversham was a sportsman, and ho loathed tho thought that perhaps Fate had taken the Issue at stnke from his hands and was arranging it In its own manner. She said sho loved him. Was It the truth? Thero was something that was almost a prayer ln his heart that It might not be the truth. He had no love for her. He did not want her. Ho had set himself out to avert hts friend's marriage, and In somn men.su ro to uvenge tho past. Now tho fruits of victory were here, thoy tasted bitter to his lips, nnd ho no longer do sired them. "You are vory quiet," Mrs. Dundas said. She roso to her feet and stood he sldo him. Sha was very slight and slim. nnd her eyes shone with unashamed happiness as she looked into his race. "What are you thinking, Miles?" sho asked. "Of tho future," he answered. She laushed softly. "It will ho a wonderful future," she said. She waited. "Say that you think It will," she urged softly. He answered evasively. "I am afraid to think of it. Once be fore I built a cnstlo In tho air, you know, and It came tumbling down," Her llprt quivered. "You wMl never forget that cr for give me?" she whispered. Ho looked wp.y from her. "Should I bo hero If I had not for gotten It?" ho asked with an effort. She shook her head. "I suppose not, and yet Miles, you haven't said yot that you lovo me." "I suppose I thought you would take It for granted." Sho pouted, "I hate taking things for granted. I Ilka to be told often nice things Ilka that, I mean." Sho laid a hand on Ms nrm. "You used to say I was pretty, Miles, years ago 1 Do you remember?" "I remember ovorythlng." "And do you still think so?" Bhe asked. There was no touoh ot coquetry In her manner now. Only a sort of pa thetta wlstfulnesn. Faversham's eyes scanned her face re luctantlya Bwcet face, all tho sweeter for Its faint touch of anxiety, and he winced as If an actual physical pain had gripped his heart. "You used to call my eyes honey bee brown," she sold, softly. "Do you remember that as well, Miles?" "I remember everything I ever said to y&u everything you ever said to me," he answered with an effort. It was the truth. Nothing of tho past had faded from his memory. It had become a llttlo blurred and Indistinct, fiorhaps, but now It was as If she was Iftlng a veil that had faintly obscured It. "And when wo are married " she went on softly, her eyes full of dreams. Faversham broke In almost , roughly. "Lallle, havo you forgotteh Philip?" She gave a little start, looking up at him breathlessly. "Forgotten him? What do you mean? You said that you wanted mo to forget him." . A , , A "1 know." Faversham tried to smile, but tho wings of tragedy were all about In his folly he had bellovcd that thU moment of triumph would bring him happiness. His rovenre lay here. In the hollow of his hand, and he had no longer tho dcslro for It, The one emotion in his heart was shame. Shame becAUso he had deliberately set himself to ruin hts friend's happiness. Shamo because he knew ho had fought this woman with a coward's weapons ana beaten her. Bhe loved him, but he oawd nothing for her. The touoh of her lips on his had roused but a momentary passion In his heart. It had passed now, and he oould meet the shy surrender of hot ces with steady puls's and criticize hi-i impartially ...
