One tunny afternoon, the party at the Rock went for a ramble down the ■bore. , Imogene, swinging her straw hat on her *rm, walked by the side of Ralph. Growing far down In a cleft of a lock, she spied a hunch of purple flowers. Hhe claped her hand* with childish glee, "What lovely blossoms' Such a per fect shade of purple' How I wish I had them for my hair! My heliotrope* are ugly by comparison!” And *he tore the odious things from her massive braids and crushed them In her hand. Mnnfna, too, was looking down at the coveted flowers. Ralph stepped toward th>*m, l»nde Graham and Mr. Ver gteln ttotb spoke together. "Don’t go, Trenholme! It looks dan gerous!” Ralph laughed, "OalltMM gentlemen, to think of dan ger where a lady’s gratification I* <on cernsd' I count myself fortunate to he sllofoil the privilege of risking so little for m much!"

He (aibered the blossoms, put them iu bis Brsoxu. and prepared to return. But he plaopd hi* foot on an Insecure atone, It gavevway, and he was precipitated downward. A clump of spruce broke, somewhat, his fall, but those who looked over the brink hardly dared hope Aat there was anything but death beneath! Miss Ireton fell hack, pale and trem unrig.

Tt was no longer Ralph, a* of old. There warn on reply. She rose up, pale hh death, but there waa no tremor In her voice a* she said: '•Dr. (Jraham, we must get him up. There are rope* anil a boat a few rod* above.” (Ira ham was off for them and back again In a moment. The gentlemen looked at each other Inquiringly. There wan no way to reach Trenholme, save by descending the face of the cliff. Marina took an end of the rope and made It fast around her waist. They read her purpose in her eye* and strove lo dissuade her. hut she answered, calmly: “•'Nof T can go beat of all. Y >ur strength will he needed to draw us both tip And 1 have lived among the e cliffs from childhood.” They offered no further resistance, hut lowered her carefully down She touched the hand of Ralph Treuholme It warm. Her heart gave a great hound She knew that he lived. She disengaged the rope and put It about him and In rapid succession both were dr^wu up to their friends. Trenliuime was only stunned, and the motion revived him He rose to bis f»to and look the llower* from HU bosom, Some deep purpose glowed In his eye*. He turned to Marino who stood a little apart • They ate children of the salt spray, like yourself, Marina,” he said "Wear them and do ms honor ” Pus colored slowly, bowed her grace ful head, and fastened them In her curl* Imogene'a eyes flashed danger sully hot her voice was cool a* she said '‘Hoar me, how pretty* Hut purple Is hardly becoming to a blonde, though an oit# object* to purple end gold I believe." liter that Ralph devoted himself to Mer«ae and not all the blandishment# of the black-oyed syrea could wta him •from hie allegiance time eeiy. she tried petpsblv la bring bun h«< h M* had promised to tea. h Marina a new mot* In chewo. that nigh' promised ta tbs bearlae of lmeg«ne S* he wae I paaalng the conaervatory on hla way to ; the llttl* room occupied by the glrla In common, he heard bla name called: "Mr. Trenholme." He knew the voice at once, and went to Imogene "lan't it a perfect night?" ahe aald, looking out Into the clear moonlight. "It la ao aweet. It makea me reafleaa. I I wlah you would go and walk with me on the cllffe. Will you?" 8he put her hand on hla arm and looked up at 1 him with her matchlcaa eyea. He dropped her hand gently from hi* arm. "Thank you," he aald quietly. "It would afford me much pleaaure. hut I have engaged to play a game of che*a with Marina. I will acrid Verateln or fir. Oraharn to you.” What a look ahe flashed upon him! , Her eye* fairly shot lightning, her face 1 wa* like a thunder cloud. Hhe cloaed her email hand alowly; the action waa eignlflciiot, hut the voice In which ahe replied waa cool and even: "Oh! of courH'i I would not Interfere with any prevloue engagement. You need not trouble either of the other gentlemen. On aecond thought, I muat go to my room and flnlah a letter which ought to have gone thla morning. Au i revlor." And ahe awcpt away. CHAPTfSlt III, HKlft game of i cheaa over, Tren holme drew Marina out upon the we*t eru piazza, and from thence to the path leading to the cl Ufa. They walked on allently, aa peo ple do whoae, heart* beat aa one walk ed on, her hand In bla, unheeding that the sweet night bad changed, and that the cold wind wa* glooming the aky with black cloud*. They aat down together on a broken fragment of rock that aeemed to lean out, llatenlng to the murmur of the aca. Trenholme put hla arm around Marina. "My child," he aald, "you have known me a long time. Do you truat me?" She looked up Into hi* face with the confl fence of a child. “Yes, Ralph, an 1 truat no other." "I am glad. Because 1 want you for my wife. I love yob. I have loved you. I think, ever since the sea cast you up at my feet, and now I want you wholly my own." She did not reply, only looked at him, In a little tremulous flutter of wonder, her innocent heart shining through . her eyes, "Marina, I am waiting for you to speak." "But. Ralph. I have no name," she sighed. "I have given you mine once, now I offer It to you for all your life!” "But your mother?” "My mother Is proud, but she loves me. And she will love my wife. Ma rina, answer me, dear.” "What shall I say?” "Tell me If you love me - If you trust me enough to give yourself Into my keeping?” His face was bent to hers. She put her arm timidly around his neck. "I do love you. Ralph,” she said softly, "more than all the world! And I have been so wretched, thinking you cared for Miss Ireton!" "My little Marina! .Miss Ireton Is inag ilftcent, but 1 do not love her. You are my light. Nothing shall divide us.” He took her in his arms, and pressed ! his lips to hers. Just then the storm burst over them. The thunder crashed, the lightning . gleamed blood-red uthwart the heav * ens. Trenholme caught Marina up, and hounded lightly from rock to rock up I the circuitous path to the house. Just across the end of the piazza lay the fallen form of the old sycamore tree 1 that had for years waved over the east- j ern gables, rent and riven Into splint- | ers by a fiery thunderbolt.
