pared over everything that Mlsa An
dnewa had to desTiN and It waa all
of tw-enty minutes before she entered
tbe library again, the wretched Archie
scarcely concealing hla Jealousy and
uneasiness. j
In twenty minutes a pood deal can

"What vlll yon do with the money

Y ' ,i she had said about Mlaa An
drvWa disturbed him tremendoualy.
"1 nollat Can you hot ace that I that
yen are the one I loveT Thlt la the
lust time I shall apeak."
l.uella looked out of the window.
The most desolate sight ahe had ever
seen waa out there. The background
for the horrible plica of rubbish wat
the dtsmnl row of tenements with the
back yard atalronsoa like external
skeletons proctalmlnir the dogrnilittlon
of the tenement dwellers In the tut-'
torod clothing hitnit out lo dry. The
divnrlnsa of It all smote I.uelln like a
horror. To live In an eternal conflict
w ith evil like Hint represented by Tom
my Hnn.l.ill; to miss the bilhl, pretty,
con fort able life Into which she hnl
been born; to spend her .lays and
nights in trying to love dlsngrcenblo,
ungrateful humanity-nil this scorned
like a nlglnmni-e to her. Vet tlien

"On.v more, I.eeiVi. ill yon bo my

"lVi yon mean, ns yon 0.1.1 before,
that I must lio hero?"
'Acs." The answer came without
hesitation.
I don't think 1 can do It. .lohn. Vi.
why do you exact that: Yon know 1
love you, .lohn, but I can't. I can't live
here."
"1V yen love tne?" .lohn Gordon,
said It gently. "Then can you not
trust me--trust all to me? Wo must
i live here In order to do the work In
j the best way."
"Must live here?" l.nell.i did John
Gordon Injustice again hi misinter
preting hla emphasis. It was the only
time she was ever gnftty of artch an ;
act, but that did not make tt any l.ss
aeriona. And again her insane Jealousy j
of Ullss Andrews disturbed her vision j
of the clear eyed love of the man who i
she knew well enough loved herself i
and her alone.
"It does not seem to me possible to!
learn the people's needs anywhere to
well as here. That doea not mean that
we must remain here all our lives, but
at toast for some years,"
"I cannot do It." litiella said slowly.
There waa a moment of tilence.
Then tbe ttepa of Mist Andrews and
Mrs. Penrose and Archie were heard
coming through the hall toward the
library. : ".!.-
John Gordon did not reply even by a
word. He bowed gravely and turned
toward tbe others as they entered tbe
room.
Tdrs. Penrose plnneed otlokly toward
Lnella.
"Ion't you want to go over the
bouse? It la very Interesting."
T don't believe 1 care about It to
day. It is getting late and Mlsa An
drews is bucy. 1 will come down some
other time."
"I shall l glad to welcome you any
time." Miss Andrews said In her calm
xuauner. She went to the, door with
them and aald poodby as they entered
the eiirriape. As they drove away the
last look I.nella had of the piece
frunied Miss Andrews and John Gor
don suuidiug side by side under the
archway. Both faces were serious,
and John Gordon's had the look of a
man who has entered on s new exjte-
rieuce of which "he is In douli, but
eonce-nlng which, lite all lirave souls,
he has no tear.
t . hut went on. "lie . ".ubt to haft
. .?. Mlaa Andrew, t id be seam
m for each other, don't you think?"
!. lella coldly returned M s. IVnroea'i
tm le and then looked out of the win
dow train.
"Mist Andrew It only eight or ten
years older than Gordon, 1 should say.
But that's no ohstaele. I've always
hv.ll that the woman out ht to he older
and more siperlenced at the beginning
of marriage., Then the man fan catch
up, not In ago, but In every tiling else.
lKm't you think so, l.uella?"
"I'm not a Judge." l.uella answered
In an ley tone. If the carriage luid not
been going so fast she would have
opened the dour snd slopped nut.
Archie broke In w l1 hla driuvllnn
note.
"It'a easy enough lo see I ha I they are
good friends. 1 should any II would
make a good iniil. li."
I.tiellit was enraged at them lilh
Mrs. Penrose, whatever her leiisi"! 1. 1
saying what she did, saw Hint sh'1 1 e ;ld

blindty wrnt on, gaining coiitl.lelice ns
t.nolln sat perfectly still, her hands In

He was astonished to see her slowly
rise and without even looking at him,
without so ninch as a gesture of any
tlnd, walk out of the room, leaving
litm sttttnp there on the edge of his
chair, with his hands clasped In an
appealing manner.
He sat back in the chair and waived.
At the end of five minutes of blank
silence he rose and went out Into the
hall.
"Please tell Miss Marsh I will call
again," he said, with a ghastly smile,
to the footman who was louuglug
there.
He went out snd walked ss fast as
he was ever known to go to hla aunt's.
