He throw out his hand with n quick gesture "Sho la everything! When I am with hor, I can think feel bo I nm fluid. She mftltes mo free." .Vhen ho pausod the wntor. lapping f htitbe breakwater, sounded 'Hoftly. 'JTjTjirloonlIght lay ammruieffl.7 Derrlng's faco, In the light, hold n rapt look. "That Is lovo," he said. The oilier looked at him.1 "You mean It Is really in me that sho Lucille gives nothing?" Ills hand made tho quick gesture again. "You don't understand." "Tell me." said Derrlng. "She makes me see things not what she says. Sho doesn't say poet ical things" "Or do them?" suggested Derrlng. , Tho poet gave a Bhort laugh. "Sho has an athletic school for girls a training-school. I think that's really what they object to," ho added "my friends." "Do they?" "Everyone unless It's you." "No I don't object." The poet turned to him eagerly. "You have seen her?" "The other night at the play." "She Is glorious!" His eyes ques tioned Derrlnc's face. "Pe'rGaTfS. 0S0 remmded rza c; someone " "I know deorgo Sand?" "Yes." "She is like her." "Yes." There was a long silence between them. The breeze from tho lako had freshened. Little ripples scudded in the moonlight. Faint clouds drifted above them. "I should not mind being ChoDln." said the poet. His eyes were on tho lae. "Xo." "He had his life. His heart was freed.',' "Yes and broke." "I know. I can't say It yet. But somehow I feel It. Ho had all that life could give even death bocauso of love." "And because ho held It," said Der rlng. I Tho other started. "You ndviso me " Derrlng shook his head, smiling. "Don't put it on me. You know bet ter than I can.

If a man turns from It, puts it away, Is afraid of It loses it " Ho stopped sudden ly. A picture of tho wood-road flashed before him and Seth Olney's bent figure, short and stolid. That was what had happened to Seth. Ho had shut his heart. Ho ceased to live. In a few 'words Derrlng sketched the story of Seth's life. "That's what I mean," ho said. "He let love go. Hla life shriveled." The poet's eyes glowed. "I shall bold it," he said, quietly, "and if she fails me " "You will nUll have love." "Yes." "You will love some one tome thin " CO. up '.')

Clouds ob scured tho moon. The dusk was faint ly luminous. Far up tho distant rond a pair of crimson eyes glowed through it, from an approaching vehicle. With ono accord thoy turned to watch tho lake.. A summer storm was gathering. Lightning played hero and there, in open flashes, on tho dark water. Deep mutters of thunder fol lowed it chnllcngingly. Tho wind had lulled. A silence held the nlr, flutter ing with 'light Upon it, In the dis tance, sounded tho faint purr of tho crlmson-eycd vehicle. It resolved It self Into tho pufllng nppronch of nn automobile. For a moment tho moon strove to reassert itself. A silver shimmer camo In tho darkness. Tho striking of the clock boomed through it. They counted tho strokes. "Ten o'clock " said Derrlng. "Thoy will bej.vaitinB.for-iis' "Just a minute," pleaded the poet. Tho hush of darkness gathered lt self. Through it Bounded swift, whir ring puffs of the automobile louder and nearor with hurrying, clanging bell. Derrlng glanced over his shoulder. Th6y vcre racing with the storm. Then ho saw. Tho thing was past con trol rushing upon them madly, "It had loft the roadway. It whirred He Lay, Face Down. swiftly. The face of the chauffeur glared, fixed and whlto. With a swift turn of his arm Dorrlng seized the poet. He thrust him straight across tho path of the thing out of danger. He lay, face down, his arms still out spread to save his friend. Tho rain fell In torrents when they lifted him. It fell on his upturned face and relaxed hands. Tho faee, benoath tho rain, was strangely eweot, as if a haud of lovo had touched It.
