"You know vory well what

Georgo, sho added, earnestly.
"What on earth is necessary ex
cept love?" aeked tho Impatient man.
Tho girl laughed. "Much much
moro," Bho said. "You admit, for In
stance, thnt you aro absolutely borod
to death in the country, that picnics,
any kind of outing whero you havo to
get down to nature Is uninteresting to
you, Even today you chafo under tho
discomfort of havlug to sit on a mossy
mound Instead of in n mahogany arm
chair with a lcathor hassock at your

of a trolley car than tho song of s

Blnglo womnn for a vls-a-vis. Whllo,
I well, set down all tho opposlteB of
tho things you llvo for and you havo
what I llko. Don't you see, Georgo?"
For a time tho man did not answer.
Ho counted tho buttons ort his gaiters
with tho tip of his walking stick.
"Is it bb bad na that, girl?" ho asked.
"Aro wo as Tar apart as that?"
Elcanoro nodded whllo Bho lookod
straight Into his eyes. "Wo are," sho
repeated, "oven as far an that."
"And thoro wo stand do wo?"
"Yes you In tho city with all tho
lights turned on you; I In tho quiet,
peaceful country with only tho eyes
of my family and my friends to seo
mo and nil of nature to communo
with."
"It doesn't look llko a very happy
prospect for a llfo together, Elcanoro.
Wo'rp old enough to seo that even in
our 20's aren't wo? But oh" and
there was a great longing tenderness
in his voice "I do lovo you. I do want
you, dear."
Tho girl turned away. Presently aho
rose to. go. There was no buoyancy In
her movement. At last, tiro thing she
had boon rearing had come to pass.
Thoy had had their explanation thoy
had tried to havo an undorstnndlng ns
to why thoy could not marry each
other. There wbb no further hope
that ho would tiro of tho llfo sho con
sidered artificial, tho lira Bho had bocn
brought up in and hated. Always,
sho had longed for tho country and
when sho began to reallzo that Bho
loved Georgo Davidson it wbb with
fading hopo that Bho studied his llfo,
his fancies, his preferences. Ho loved
every Inch of tho merry avenues or tho
crowded cities, ovcry atom or tholr ex
istence. On tho way homo tho man told her
frankly that ir ho could not havo her
If sho could not marry him and tako
a chanco with it all ho would put her
out of his llfo. Ho, manlike, was will
ing to take any chanco to havo her for
his wife; but then, sho explained to
him, ho had not given it tho thought
that was necessary.
"Well, I'll travel," Eleanoro told him
when thoy woro parting. "I wnnt to
see rural Franco and Germany and
with you out of my life, George I
might be lonely," sho said a Uttlo wist
fully. Sho lookod hastily away that
ho might not soo tho effort with which
sho kept tho sparkling teardrop from
tumbling down hor choolc "And If I
find that I can como back and and
llvo with my oar on tho trolley track,
I'll I'll como and lot you know. Moan
time, you shall not know whoro I am,"
sho said, an nlmbst Imporcoptlblo
break In her voice. Sho had tried to
bo gay, but sho had failed dismally
and she know ho know It,
"All right, girl," tho man aaid. hold-
Ing hor hnnd closely In his own. "Slnco
you'ro afraid of adding to tho long list
of mls-mntea among our friends I'll
remain as I nm. I'll hnvo you or no
one, mato or mls-mato. Good-by."
Ho strodo off with novor a look bo-
hlnd nnd sho know ho was gono out
of her llfo until "Oh, forovorl" Bho
said, ns sho dashed away tho foolish
tears that pushed each othor from hor
oyos.
Truo to her word, sho traveled. Sho
ournoyed hero nnd thoro and enjoyed
things as only a woman of her caliber
can enjoy tho beautiful, rare old things
sho had read of nnd heard or all her
llfo.
Whon sho returned to hor own coun
try It was to tako up hor profession or
tutoring but in tho country this tlmo.
Sho found a homo in tho rectory of an
old church. Tho minister was a family
friend, and sho wont Into tho family
to tutor his two children with tho priv
ilege of having a fow others during

Sho apont mnny happy dnys with tho
