in the park until new. Yeu are sure

"I gnve.lt te Miss Llnnlennd one

answered tremulously. Jt cecnicd te
matter tremendously all at once. My
fingers shook.
"She .never did. I swear te (Jed that

"If I had had ?' He atepned. .
"If you had had It?" I echoed.
Ha laughed, nnd let my hand go.
"Vie enn't bring back the past, can
we? he said. We can only go en en.
Marjerle. de you knew that it's time
for me te be going?"
My moment had gene : he would
never sny thp word I had hungered all
my life te hear, never tell me that he
loved tnp.
I was a mnrried "woman nnd a
mother . Tears smarted In my eyes
as we went back te the house.
I suppose I ought te be ashamed te
admit It. I suppose n mother of n beau
tiful eon and a little daughter ought
te be ashamed te admit that xhc lias
ever given n thought te any man who
Is net their father; but I was net very
old, and I knew I would have given
anything I possessed that night te have
heard Richard say he loved nic.

had never had my letter; comforting

Mtneiv Richard would 'net let .them
nete any harm, but I was glad when
tit;, were back hafcly.
Klsa apparently hnd taken a despcr

li hand when we went nrnmul the
lirden, and Insisted en picking a robe
ad petting it in his coat,
''leu've made a great Impression,"
I told-him. laughing. "She's rather
pcultith strangers, ns n rule."

rtld. "I should like a 4ey like yours."
"I "don't knew what I should de

miles nway, he told me, where he was
staying with friends.
"Their then perhaps I shall sec you
ngnln?" I faltered. "If If you care
te come ever."
Fer n moment he did net nnswer;
he absently pnttcd the silky neck of
the cob, which was stamping Impa
tiently, longing te be off.
"Thank you thnnks very much,"
he Mild. But I new he did net mean
te Come.
We steed for a few minutes In desul
tory conversation : we talknl nbeut th
weather, nnd the prospect of n goedl
imrveiH. nnu me cultivation et newers,
nnd such ordinary topics, while nil tht
time I felt as If my heart were stretch
ing Imploring hands te him. and crying,
"Don't go! Oh. don't go!"
Then all at once, ns if In answer te
my unspoken words, he turned.
"I must sny geed-by," he snld. "It's j
getting late, and " j
I felt his eyes en mc in the moon- i
light, but I could net meet tliein; then
he took my hand, and, raising it, kissed
it very gently.
"Oued-by, und Ged bless you!"
