"Not tonight?” put In Meh Lady
qulakly.
"Certainly not •tonight,” ho assented.
"I want to s$e how you people manage
In your cottage by the sea—”
"See here!" cried the business man.

Don’t go back on your raising—”
• “But fell. us about Brownv” put in
Marie eagerly. “la he a real live man?''
“Very live, my dear, very live in
deed.” replied the Major, “flo lire that
he cannot live out of Paris. To sum up
Brown in a few sentences, he’s a bach
elor, a member of the Jekyl Island
Club, has one of the handsomest cbt-
.tages on the island, fully furnished and
equipped, which he has never seen;

“A bachelor!” sighed Marie.
“Guess ^fou'd better go (for hLm,” put
in Jack viciously. “All that soundd
better. than a country doctor with
good general practice, dosen’t it?”
But 'Marie scorned a reply and Jack
went on.
"It’s .wonderful to me how fellows
l-Hke that manage to preserve their
personal liberty, -with so many enter
prising advanced-idea- women In the
land—”
“Now, see here, Jackl” cried the Pro
fessor. “You mu*t shut up. We are not
going to have our fan npolle'd by you.

right, and if he •edinea down (South

first girt thait. wants him-"
“And, it 1 won't be my niece Marie,
either,” put in the Major, throwing his
arm (around- her, and drawing her close
to his side. "Don’t you mind Jock,
dear*—
"Mind Jock!" she cried* laughing
gaily. “Indeed I won’it. I never expect
tto mind Jack as long as I live.''HHI
At widen some of us could not help
omlling, for their love affair was now
(an, open secret, and Marie was i>roue*»*i
herself to be Just the sort of woman
who makes her husband a tyrant.
"Oh. ‘but it's nice to .he bore," the
Major exclaimed some hours later,
when he and the Professor were smok
ing a late cigar on 'the front porch.
•The sweet salt air was blowing In
land; the hfcomlrvg tide beat noisily on
4he 'beach; the mocnllghrt frosted the
crest of -the breakers and stretched in
long silver bars across the waves to
wards the horizon, where two pilot
boats , ghostlike, were making their
■way outward.
"1 tried to stay away,” he went on,
shaking the ash from his cigar and
talking in a hesitating way," but I
couldn’t, and now the thing has got
to come to some wort of an ending. She
•won’t give a fellow a chance to ex
plain—”
“Explain?” echoed the Professor.
“Certainly. I know I acted like a
dog. But I hadn’t been gone a month
before I saw my mistake. And I was
coming back to make things all right,
only she got married so confoundedly
quick, yon see— f *
"Yes. I see,” th£ Professor said
sharply, throwing away a frerfhly light
ed cigar as he turned to face the*Ma-
Jor. "I do «e*? plainly, and I ‘think you
have-every bit ofi the stupendous con
ceit of our sex. I do see. And what
do I see, pray? Why, here’s a fellow
gets tired of a girl because she’s too
good for him. He Shows her he's'tired
•of her, and as she is no fool she natu-
rafly comprehends the sftuation and
acts as her womanly pride dictates.
Then the fellow flies off at a tangent,
bhe ought to get down on her bended
knees to Hkm and play tfie part of pa

of his pearl and thinks it only neces
sary to hie bacg and pick it up In the
road where he' left it. Eh? It never
occurs to him that somebody due may
have discrimination in the matter of
pearls. Eh?—'*
‘Bay, don’t you think you are rather
bard on a fellow?" asked the Major
meekly.
"Hard? It’s amusing to hear you fel
lows talk about being hard," returned
rh» Professor furiously. “And what
are you, I’d like to know? I UI5 you,
the mo*: marvellous thing on the face

Meh Lady is my dear, dear daughter,
anil in my heart of hearts I’m glad
that ypu've come to your senses—"
T’t isn't myself now," the Major
said despondently. "It's Meh Lady.
And she’s a hard quantity <o reckon
with." He got up as'ne spoke and
walked towards me end of the ver
anda, commanding a view of the beach
stretching easoward.* Some one was
walking slowly backward and forward
near me batnhjm.es. Tat moon, cov
ered by fleecy clouds, was shining
dimly, but as -the Major reached the
far end of Die veranda the clouds part
ed and In the white radiancy he could
recognize the firm, graceful pose of
Meh Lady’s slender tlgure. Before she
had made another turn in her solitary
promenade be was by her side.
"Do you often walk alone like this?”
ho asked.
Bne lift’d her head proudly, but <lie
quiver in her voicq betrayed her.
“Why not?”
“Oh, I don’t know. I don’t quite know
what I tvus saying. May I walk With
you?” She did not answer. He took her
anm In hia and walked silently by her
side.
**Meh Lady,” he said after a while.
When a man makes a midtake and
suffers by it and then tries to rectify
It, don’t you think he ought to have
the help he asks?”
‘I don’t know that any help could
avail him anything,” 8he said faintly.
“I want a plain yes or no. If a man
makes a mistake and then acknowl
edges his mistake and seeks ho rectify
It, ought his way to be blocked?"
“Perhaps l do not understand you.”
“You understand me thoroughly,” he
said rather harshly,” for he was too
much In earnest now to be suave
“Shall I state my oase?”
He had her arm flrmly In his and
was holding her hand close against his
breast. She could feel the rise and fall
of his breathing and could count the
hammer-ilke strokes *>f his heart.
“Yes, tell me,” she said, simply as
a child might speak.
'I was young and selfish and eelf'-
lmlulgent. You wanted me to live in
the heights. I could ndt. But 111 swear
I loved you, Meh Lady. Then, after
ward, -when I wanted to come back,
you were married, and I thought you
had not cared very much or you
wouldn't have done that, and I b;amed
you and raged against you.. 1 dldn*
understand you, Mdh Lady. I didn't
know all the circumstances, you see,
so I didn’t understand. I never did
understand you until now. And now,
Meh Lady,” he held her closer to him,
the strength of his gra9p pained her,
and she cried out as she withdrew her
hand from Ills..
“Meh Lady, have I hurt you?"
“No, no't much?” laughing rather
hysterically. I don’t think I mind It
much.”
“Well, then!” drawing her back to
him. "New lot’s settle this matter once
for alt.” The *moon had gone behind
the clouds again and the dark gray*
ness of the sea was spread out ahead
of them. Behind «them was the stretch
of beach, half covered now by the wa
ters of flood tide; td the left was the
sea; to the right the ».md dun 's; near
by, between the sand (dunes and the
beach a long log of heavy drlfitJwood
was imbedded. Ao he spoke he' drew
her down to this and seated himself by
her side. .
“I’ve come a long way for you, Meh
Lady, and am making a determined
fight. *We must settle this thing onte
for all .right now.”
He was talking rapfdly and sat fac
ing her, but would not touoh her. She
was ns pate ns If she were at homo
in her own little sitting room. (But h
dark eyes shone like a flame and she
could see the resoluKe self-mastery of
the man. _ , (.■■■
“I was wrong, but Ive suffered: and
I’ve loved you all the time, and—"
The sea was like a human voice
pleading for him.
•She made a slight movement,
arms opened to enfold her as she hid
her face against his breast. *
