The atmesphere of n publishing

ill his nerves. He steed nt a sort of
Urrler behind which gray, scholarly,
old-reung, young-old people moved
without haste en various dignified

Miss Srlila's Pride
An August moon and a breathless
harvest night the long manor drive,
straight nnd silver, barred by its still
poplar shadows nt lis end, the manor
deer open nnd golden ns a human smile :
through this fairy blue cm Imminent of
outdoors, its barrier shadows, its ccrle,
bewlldciing lights, Q moved like n man
conscious of n spell. The ring Iny like
'a magic token against hN heart. He
had wen through such shadow barriers,
he had been dazed bv such uncertain
lights, he could hardly trun himself
te believe in the golden welcome up
there nt the journey's end. He leaped up
the steps and stepped, te get his breath,
shaken by emotion, by mi pense; he
remembered the chill May night when he
had left HcIeIkc with n sharp dread in
his heart. He shut his eyes, thinking
of victory.
Then he went in softly. The hnll was
still; n big moth fluttered about n
shaded light; the geld curtains hung un
moved, like solid metal. In its silence
it seemed a hostile place. Q took out
his ring, pushed back the golden
draperies with n conscious effort of
his will and steed within them, clutch
ing them together behind him with both
hands, se that the jewel cut into his
palm.
Belew Sir Sydney's portrait, Ilelehe
had twhtcd herself about in the urins
of a tall man. Thev felt fiem her.
nnd she wavered like u white Hume in
n wind. She was dressed In silver with
the crescent of brilliants in her hair.
Q moved forward half a stride, and then
she spoke, quickly, never se surely, a
little eudly, as from a height.
"Where have you been, Q? I tried
te get you yesterday. Mr. Murston has
just get bnck from llussla. I want
you te meet him." Her eye caught
Q's nnd held it steadily. "I have
nremlsed him te be his wife.
Probably for the fiist time since his
overgrown boyhood, y um a pnysicauy
awkward thing. He dropped his ring
nnd it rolled ever te I.ele s feet.
Mnrsten bent uulckly nnd plcked it UP.
The magnificent jewel glimmered en his
palm. Helelse sturcd down ai it Willi
1 nrted, gernnlum-red lips. But Mnrs Mnrs
eon looked from it te her. His tine-cut
face quickly betrayed a question. She
could net gather her answer; nil her
young self-possession left her; in
stinctively she looked te Q for help.
Mnrsten, tee, turned his ejes from her
te the man: they were rather deep-set
pves, uncompromising. Q answered
their challenge, but it wns the stark
prayer in Lele's fuce that shaped his
speech. ... , .,
"My mistake," he murmured, "net
hcrs.r He took buck the ring and,
turning it in his fingers, smiled im
pel turbnbly. "I reckon I m net used te
civilized wnys," he said. "Nobody's
te blame but the folks thnt didn't give
me my trainln'. Mr. Mnrsten, I did
Miss Grliiscoembo a service nnd she
thanked me for It. She didn't de any
thing but thank me, but being a plumb
feel and 11 11 ignorant man. I didn't
savvy.
"lnbtead of waiting for her explana
tions, I took the bit in my mouth and
belted like a brenc. My mistake. Miss
Grlnacoembe, will you take the ring
as an engagement present?" He
took her hand boldly and coolly In one
of his, placed the ring in its narrow
nnd icy palm, and folded her long fin
gers round It. "Thnt's payment for
my education," he said "It has come
cheap. I'll say geed-by nnd wish you
both happiness, I'm ngelu' back V i est.
where I belong. I'm plumb tired of
mnkln a feel of myself."
With that he smiled acnln, lifted his
eyes ence somberly te Sir Sydney
Grlnscoembe, bowed nnd went out.
The hall, outside of the geld curtains,
seemed te be full of whlle, dense mist.
Q steed clutching the edge of the table
and moving n hnnd across his eyes pa
tiently te clear them. His heart and
brain were loud with jeering voices,
pointing fingers, mocking laughter. Sir
Sydney's ghost raised n thin, lace
ruffled hand from his geld-knobbed
stick and Btruelc him across the face.
Q started physically and made out thnt
It wns net Sir Sydney's ghost, but Mlw
Seldn, smiling faintly and holding, out
her hnnd. She had net struck htm, but
at sight of her, his heart turned te Iren
and he shut bis teclh tight en nn oath.
"Will )ou come in here with me,
Q?" she nsked. "I wnnt te tnlk te
you."
lle followed ncr, sun wun ieckbii
teeth nnd lips, into the drnwlng-roem,
where she seated herself nnd looked up.
