beating heart I crept down the hallway ;
with hushed breath crept in.
It were easy finding Evelyn Marston ;
there was but one picture on the walls,
In the far corner I descrilred it, with
strained eves hurrying onward, looking
up finally lo see—to look again uud stare,
There was no mistake. I remenitx'rcd
the picture well; one of the many I had
given him, one I had wondered not to
find among the articles Philip Banin
ger bought back to me.
Much more beautiful, but, oh, so very
like! One mystery was solved. But
I could only stand with giddy brain
repeating tire question, and staring at
my painted face, llow long, 1 know
not; it was all a dream till I saw a
shadow in the sunlight, and Philip
ringer. I had but little thought for
him, little wonder for the look he wore.
The circumstances of my presence even
were nothing now; I knew hut the
present mystery, and be could eulightcu

passion quickly killed, but a passion

He paused as Ins voice sunk to the
soft cadence of that other day.

And when the spring put forth its
