A happy-looking- photograph it was. taken In the untroubled days beforo Mrs. Dundas entered his life. A BWlft pang of remorse shot through Favor- imams nenrt. was trouble golnir to break his friend, as once, years ago, it had broken Ihim? Mrs. Tranter was watching him I narrowly. I "You uon t look vory happy today, ISII1C3Y" Ho roused Iilmseir with an effort. "Your Imagination," he said, wmlUng. "But. an a. matter of fact. I am a. little worried about Philip. I am ufrald you will llncl that ho has taken this dls appointment badly. You will probably find that he hag turned against me oa well Not that It matters very much, but I am trying to prepare you for what may come. Ho thinks quite rightly. that I htue been the cause of Mrs. Pun das going away. He'll hate in for It." "ior a time, pernaps, out no win got eer It." Ituersliam shook his head.

"Well, you don't neem very pleased to see me," he said, nnd his voice was not qulto steady. "Pleased 1" 8he came down tho re maining stairs with a little rush and into his arms. And she she lies in my hands as tame As a pear hung basking over a wall; Just a touch to try, and off it came. I -it miner can 1 let it fallT Perhaps the sunshine waa responsible, or the flood of oTd memories that had come upon Favershnm as ho walked up the village street, for at any rate, at the mpmont when Mrs. Dundas ran Into his arms he forgot overythlng He had mount to remember, and tho two were Just boy and girl again, he and she. re living the early days of their love. 'So you are glad to see me?" he asked. "Glad! Oh, can't you find a better word?" Her eyes were like stars. She took his hand and drngced him Into the little room where the flro crackled cheerily, and whero breakfast wa8 waiting. "Why have you come? Why didn't vou let me know? I supposo It really la you?' She was laughing and dancing round him llko nn excited child, and for once Faversham fell In with hor mood. "I wanted to surprise you, You tised to lovo surprises, do you remember? I only mado up my mind late last night, and caught the night train down." He remembered suddenly tho reason that had prompted his visit, and his face sobered as ho caught her hand. "Lallle, nobody haa been down to see you? Not Tranter, or any one else?" fine looked amazed, "Down here I Why, I've only been here a day and a half, and nobody but ou knows where I nm! of course nobody has been. Why?" "Nothing I only wondered." He gave a quick sigh of relief. "Don't you think we might have breakfast? I had soino at the inn, but I'm hungry again now; the coffee smells so good. She flushed ronlly. "Breakfast! Of course. How lovely: Just you and I together." She went to the door and called to the maid. In an. Instant she was back again. 'Allies, tnis is UKe years ami years ago. Do you remember wo hart breakfast to gether then tho morning before you went back to New York? I got up early to nee you off." "I lomember that I noer ate a thing because I was too busy looking at you and Imploring you not to flirt with that sandy-haired boundor who used to follow you about." There was a note of bitterness In his voice. Tho old memories were not all sweet. "You were absurdly jealous," sho de clared. Sho slipped a hand through1 his arm. "You won t aver need to bo Jeal ous of me again. Never! Do you hear?" "Yes." "And do you believe me 7" He laughed, ruefully. "I almost think I do." he answered. Mrs. Dundas's maid brought break fast. She looked askance at Faversham, and answered his "good-morning" rather curtly. Miles looked after her with raised brows as sho left the room. "That maid of yours doesn't like me," ho said. Mrs. Dundas laughed. "Nonsense ! Of course she does. I wouldn't part with her for worlds. If I lost Lester It would be like los'ng my right hand." Hhe took her seat at" the head of the tamo. "Aro you going to sit beside me, or opposite?" Sho looked at him uhly. "Miles, do you know how shy I feel?" Then I nad better sit opposite, or this breakfast may bo wasted In the wav I wanted that other, years ago'" Sho mado u little grimace at him. "Not now. you aro so much older and wiser. You nee, I havo not forgotten what you eald the other day In town!"! But this morning tt was sho who mado only a protonso or eating-, and Faver sham noted tho fact m-Imlv. Once he had lost his appetite for weeki and months on her account He hnd lived on lovo and moonshine and hope and evory other fool thing In which young lovern are supposed to rovel. It seemed unlikely that he would over again be capable of suoh weakness, Thero wns a a ague pity In his hear' ns he looked at her. Life was a curious thing! Why could Bho not haye cared for him all those years ago, instead of now? As soon as tho meal was ended, ho rose and went over to tho wlndrw. "Tho sun thlnes, and the tldo Is out," he said. "I am going to tako jou for that walk on thc sands you promised me Have you got any boots that won't bo tulned with talt water?" "Of course I havo! I came down hero dretsed for tho part." She went off to get readv, and Fav orsham heard her moving about upstairs und singing happily After all. what waa she but a child In her varying moods, he askod himself tolerantly. And then a sharp edge of bit ter memory Jaggod him, Not buoIi a child but that she could play with a man's heart and break it betwoeu her delicate Angers. Not Buch a child but that she knew how to woo nnd win a man back to his old alloglanco. "I will never go back " said Faver sham fiercely. Ho spoko tho words aloud, unconsciously. "I beg your paruon, fcaiu. x.eaieri nert voico at the door. "I thought you I spoke, sir," sho said smoothly, us Fav ersham turned. raversham mado no answer. Ho die liked the girl, nnd knew Instlnctlvoly thnt she disliked him. Sho busied horself cloarlng tho breakfast things away. Sha llngored In tho room deliberately till Mrs Dundas came down acaln. As the) left tho house together. Miles, turning to close the gate, saw Lester watching them from the window "You've- brought the sunshine with you," Mrs. Dund.is said, looking up at him. "Yesterday It ruined, and I verv nenrly packed my boxeH nnd ran bacK lo town." x , . "It ratnea in town, iuu. o u uun-u tho steps hero to tho sands. If I re member" Ho glanced down at her feet and laughed. "You don't cult thoso Ben. slblo shoes, do you?" Sho stopped and looked down at her Ilttlo brown boots. ,. , , , . "Why. they ore ever so thick!" sho Bald Indignantly .m... Fwomham shrugged his shoulders. "Very well I suppose I Bhall have to carry you If wo got to nny pools" She laughed excitedly "As you did before you mean, Miles? Do Sou remember when wo nearly got. caiitrtlt by the tide?" .... I do : but I have no ntentlor. at repeating the experience. If that Is what vou mean. I had the fright of my life then. You're tho kind of woman who would never allow yourself to be saved 'f the worst came to tho worst. ou would olutch n man round the neck and drown him nnd yourself, too. "Am I such a stupid pernon?"
