For a fort night Jack's unusually buoyant spir its had been dulled by some impene trable pall. Even the joyful tidings conveyved by his seister, when she blushingly unmasked the secret of her troth to Paul, had met a funereal reception. He was glad, of course. He liked Montgomery, and loved his sister. But he had been so serious abont it all | “Are you sure he loves you, .109,"‘ he had asked, “and that you love him?” “Why, certainly, yvou goose' she jaughed. “Don’t you suppose you can tell you love somebody 7" “How DO you?” he persisted. “Why, vou—just do, that's all!” Which belng a woman's answer‘ and somewhat incontrovertible, cov- | ered the case pretty thoroughly, ll‘ that. | “Yes, 1 guess that's right, Joe,” he had told her. “There are many lit tle things, I suppose, that go to es tablish the conviction, but, after all, they're just incidents.

But, tell me, Joe,” he added, groping for some straw in the receding flood of his own hopes, “how did vou know that Paul loved vou?” “Why, he told me, foolish.” Her answer was the obvious and he laughed in spite of himself. “1 know,” fie said, “but before tha'. Didn’t you know before he told yvou”" “Why, Jack, vou're worse than a lawyer. 1 can't tell you evervthing I thought or knew 1 hoped he did, and, you see, he did."” There was some comfort in that, even if. in his cage, the system had riot progresgsed so favorably or so rar.] & - . . - - Joe was happy. She had passed al] the barriers, even that of parental approval, and she had been not a lit tle surprised at Paul's report of im mediate success, “It took a little tact,” he had told | her, for why, he reasoned, ghould he make light of his own accomplish ments?

She spoke slowly and without the spirit of levity that had marked her children’s chatter, To her mind, Stuyvesant wag an enviabls product of her type. She could have named no girl in all New York whom she would s=ooner welcome as her boy's affianced than this unassuming daughter of an imperious house. Esther was a rarity. She sprang from the same fountain head and drank at the same well as the rest of her rollicking set, but she drank deeper. The shallow mountain streain dances on, sparkling in the sunshine, gplashing over stones, spreading - gelf over an almiess waste. It ia beautiful to the eye: its rippling mu sic holds the ear. But here and thers it windes ‘round a ciiff and, surging and protesting, eddies its wav inton tranquil pool. We halt beside this pool and contemplate its depth., 1t holds the lure of the unknown., And such was FEsther Stuyvesant.

THEIL shivered slightly as the E cold breeze from the river blew in on her. She hed crouched desolately on the stone seat trying to decide what to do, for what had seemed to her a long time, but no solution of the -problem presented itself. The fact remained that she could not stay at Ardsley, for Rogers was liable to take advantage of her at any time, and just why he had made the attempt and had then re leased her so suddenly she could not understand. Wearily she dragged her self to bed, and shivering under the warm covers that she had pulled over her she finally drifted off to sleep. The next morning Rogers greeted her just as if nothing had happened. The sum scemed to be shining just as brightly, the world looked just as fair, It all seemed like an ugly dream meant to be forgotten with the morn ing sunlight, and KEthel resolved to forget the night before and say noth ing about it for the present. The truth of the matter was that Rogews had been tryving to ingratiate himeelf with the girl and had be lieved the time had at last arrived when he might approach her without being repuised. When she had spurned his advances so decidedly he had been furicus with.himself for spoiling his chances, and had resolved to go about his plans in a different way. If she liked subtle ways of approach he would humor her, and after the cor respondence was cleared up and Ethel had left the room he made his way to the room above which the girl occu pied to leave a sheaf of flowers on her desk, ‘ The desk was littered 'n a way tru ly feminine, and Rogers smiled a lit tle as he =at down before it and idly glanced at some of the letters. Sud denly he started and held up a piece of paper before 'him in amazement. And so this was the family she had sprung from, her father had been the head of a counterfeiting gang and had served his time in prison, this was his daughter, this girl with the dainty, aristocratic manner of one born to the purple. Well, he would show her. Rushing out of the room with the paper crushed in his hand, he confronted the girl, who was writ ing busily on the terrace, “Why didn't you tell me who you were?” he sneered, catching her in his arms and bending over her. *“I guess vgu won't be go particular in the future, eh? Not when I tell you that T know all about your little se cret.” And he held up the. slip of paper Lefore her, as she gave a little geream of despair. \ “Come now, be sensible. Nnhn(iy is going to know about it ‘he whis pered, bending his face to hers, “not if you decide to be a good girl. We'll keep it for a secret hetween us. What do you say to that?” Ethel with a final struggie managed to get rid of the arms that encircled her, and without stopping for any thing she ran “vildly into the house and up to her room. She packed her few belongings together, and, seizing her hat and coat, she slipped down the back way and out of the house. Down the long road she slowly toiled. It was a long way to the railroad sta tion, and she soon grew very warm and tired, but on she went. Soon the house, with its winding driveway, was left far behind, and Ethel began to grow so weary that she decided to pause at least for a rest.
