eentinufd: "ConniiiKten is one of Eng-

"I knew I shan't," nmwered Leis
bravely. "If only it comes oft I shall
feel that my life is full. I shall have
something te work for and strive for.
I nhnll study It always, nnd endeavor
te rise higher nnd higher. Yeu knew,
Jimmy, In nil seriousness, nnd without
posing, I heuld love my nrt If I were
a real uctres.).
"I believe you would, Leis," said
ITarkness quietly.
He wnt beginning te realize hew
ilccpi a woman Leis was. Hu knew
she had faced n tragedy In her life,
just as he was facing one in his. She
loved him just nu much ns he loved
Audrey. But she was rling from the
ruins of her hopes te greater heights
than ever she would have attained had
these hopes been realized. He knew
that if he had married Leis she might
hnve left the stage, and he nnd she
would hnve wandered en through life
carelessly, migrating te Mente Carle nt
the right time, attending race-meetings
with the utmost regularity, playing,
dnwdlini: en the edci of llfe. with n
winding path of usclessness stretching
eemnu inem. mere would prehalilv
never hnve been children. They would
have beet? n nuisance.
But new Leis was dedicating herself
te work. If the were successful in her
project, she would be contributing her
mite toward the scheme of things; for
n great actress must always de her part
in ine nenenttng of Humanity.
He studied her. Except for the
gravity of her eyes, she looked the same
Leis he had always known, and hn
wondered at It. In a dull, vague way.
He could net reconcile the smartness of
her dress, the vividness of Imr rnler
scheme, with her words. She looked
fragile, a creature te be ki.s'ed and
held. He could have broken her with
one hand. And yet she was stronger
than he!
He felt his own hopelessness. He
thought of his father, of Audrey, of a
hundred mad thing he had done in ills
life, of n hundred chances squandered ;
and Instead of remorse, he was filled
witli n dreadful hittcrness against life,
nlmest against Lel', that she should
have set him se geed 011 example. Why
couldn't he go te hell his own way?
He steed up.
"De you mind if I take you home

They went out tejetlier into the night.
Leve Knows Ne Prlile
Constance Brent went back te Knock
holt filled with conflicting emotions.
During the journey Lord Conning Conning
ten's last words rung again nnd again
in her ears, nnd tlicy were tocsin te
half-forgotten thoughts nnd wishes
children of the dead past. Dreams she
had dreamed when tin world was fair
and all her life was sunshine lived
again in her Imagination. Her lips,
whicli hail known no man's kl's for
what seemed an eternity were warm
with n dc"lre she could net analyze.
She tried te think of Connington's
coldness, his steely logic, his suave
mockery. But she failed. She felt that
when she sold geed-by te him they had
been very near te one another for a
moment the veil hnd slipped from be
fore him and nhewn the man who
walked behind it. An all hut Incredible
hope filled her heart. She tried te still
it nnd failed.
A hackney meter carried her te the
cottage, and she found Audrey in the
jurden.
After gieeting her Audrey said
"Mamma, I went te see Mr. limit -
Hess, nnd I want te knew If I may
go again. Veu won't mind, will you?"
"Why de you want t" pay this second
visit?" nsked Constance.
"I want te explain one or two things
" Audrey was obviously ir.-rveus.
"And I want te ask him 1111 Imper
tant question." She liiiu.lid. and looked
away. "De yen mind If I don't tell
jeu ubeut it until alter 1 have seen
him?"
Constance considered. Her instinct
wus te tell Audrey net te 20 hut
something warned her that if she did
se Audrey would refuse te be cecrPed
