(.'arter, following her to the door, whispered it few kind words which fcho did not hear. Sho walked listlessly down the graveled walk, her wide-opened eyes seeing noth ing of the orchard lands and grain Melds uboiit her. It was ii bloodless uutomntoii who opened school nt I) o'clock. She h-id not even the thought of declaring a holidii ; she whs not conscious of a desire to be alone. She hud not break fasted: ut noon hhi' received with a faint smile the dninty luncheon which the thoughtful Mury Wallace had sent her. She did nut eat it. She rang the hell ut u quarter of one, aguin at I o'clock, ami took up Hi, work for the afternoon listlessly. An ntmosphere of iinensiness hung over the school; the children could not study and found no pleasure in taking ndviiutugc of .Miss Knid's olnioiiH pieoccupntlnii. After bchool she did not go diicclly home. She turned, instead, into the Holds nml tmvnrtl tho wooded hills.

Again she saw tlie pletiiius of her tuno, more rcul thun the realities about her She saw him as be had stood thnt day, the light dancing in his eyes, the frank ness of his sunny nature turned to her. "Hobble!" she whispered. He had loved the forests so, he had so loved his liberty. And because there was something which he loved more thun forest iuui freedom, he hud given then, up. There wus nil intolerable pufu In thu girl's henrt as she threw her-elf down whoie he hud lulu thut day. She luy very still. It wus long before the tears came, bitter tours of one who accuses nnd convicts herself of having betrayed her lover. .

It wus cold when she woke; the dusk hud crept Into the woods; there wus a smear of clouds in cuss tho skj ; the world wus dim uiul tlieerless and erj, er empty. It wus n week before she wrote to him, befoie she could si o how she 111111 write. Then she toltl him ei simply, "1 hue jou, dour, lib, more thun ever now, iiutl since you first came my lieuit has bepii full of you. An I I want y on to Ir) In forgho me.
