were so different and so far apart. If
she had been a farmer's daughter, or
a child of poor parents, or he had
been a rich man's son, with culture.

ne was sorry, it would only rnae
it harder for him after she was gone.
He knew that her voice would hold
the old dangerously-sweet fascination
in it, and her eyes would only make
him feel more keenly what he longed to
claim for his own, and what was out
of his reach. But and something of
that same recklessness which comes
to all of us, at times came to him she
was coming, and he could not help
that, and he would lee the future de
cide its own affairs. He would drift
and dream even if the waking up at
the end of it was bitter with loss and
a lifetime's regret.
The next week brought Helen
Hunt. Robert drove down to the de
pot after her. She was standing on
the platform, with her face turned
i another way, when he drove up. But
it did not need the sight of her face to
tell him thav-?b-was there. He
would have known that tall and grace
ful figure anywhere.
I am gfad to see you back he said, I
coming up beside her. His voice was
not quite steady. He had tried to
make himself cool and self-controlled,
but the presence of the woman he
loved unmanned him a little'

come back ever since I went away. I

as that one was.1
lI hope it will, for your sake he
said, and his face bad a grave, pafned
look in it which her keen eyes detect

his arm. 'You" look as if something

"I am not blind be said. 'She
loves you, and you will find it so
when the day comes for you to tell
her what you must, some day.f
She loved him! There was a world
of rapture in the thought. But and
the haunting spectre which comes to
sit by your hearth and mine came in
to his heart then their ways in life
were so wide apart that they could ,
not be bridged over. He could never
ask this woman to atoop to his lowly
life. And he could not lift himself to
hers. And yet she loved him ! He
could not for one moment forget that.
J And to know it was so sweet, so un-
and J utterably sad !
The days, after that, went by more
like a dream than ever. He tried to
keep away from her, bet his heart
would not let him. He tried to school
himself to the thouzht th&t, since he
might not have her for his own, he
ought not to think of her as a man
Just I thinks of the- woman he hopes to win.
But he could not do that. He could
only love her, and tell himself that
his love was but a vain one.
But it could not always go on in
that way. Fate took the matter in
her own hands at last.

Lfact that they cannot live if detached
