I * r fhe wo'.d is fall of subtle fragrance of
I the nines; the bronze brambles, with their
I half-ripe berries, and tbe great feathery
I fronds of fern and bracken, fringe tbe path
I with a wild woodland border; here and

I catch aglimpae of the great purple Head,

I round on some he*thy plateau, see the
| wbois panorama of the Wicklow mount*

« r Sugar Loaf, ruddy-warm with heath
. il bracken, tbe more distant peaks and
I pow. clothed in misty |due.
I "l bav? been thinking of your promise,

“You said you would be mv friend, you
I knot; and I am very grate'm to yon for
I tbe assurance. Do you know wbat Crabbe
I calls gratitude?*
"I am not in the least tired. I think we
had better go on.”
"As you pfeaee,” be says coldly. And,
without another word he walks beside me
over the strong brown stemmed heather
and between the licbentd boulders, and I
begin to think I have been a fool lor my
pains ai d have spoiled my own pleasur#
in a ridiculously senseless way.
The remaiudor of the ascent I made in
Barry Waller’s company. Tbe boy’a
eagerness to supplant Anthony Monckton
•mures me, though this time he finds no
difficulty in securing me ss a companion,
Mr. Monckton having left me to throw
himself on the abort thymy turf betide
Maia, who had established herself at a lit*
tie distance from the others, and was gaz*
ing rather wistfully out to sea.
The-view from the summit of the Head
more than repays ns for our stiff climbing
—at least to me. who hsve seen so few
grand or beautiful sights, to stand at an
altitude of 610 feet above tho sea-level is
a very wonderful thing. And how ex*
quisle tbe sea looks, stretching awsy to
the faint horizon! I think of all the
poetry 1 hrve ever read about it, and line

handsome face. I should as soon hire
thought of taking it an cetieux if they
had qu zted me about little Charlie Prosser,
ami, though I would rather old Mr. Waller
had not called a tenticn to us in quite
such a public manner, I only smite at
Barry and sip my tea, with my hick
sgsinst a gray-lichened boulder, and the
glorious August sunshine streaming across
the Wicklow mountains full in my daz
zled eyes.
Laurie looks very happy—as far as I
can see by reason of the same sunshine—
with R. t*n Wall, r at her fret. Maud
Prosser and Mr. K*nt have a plate of late
cherries between them, and are making
merry ovar the stones. Tie elders of the
party are eejoyieg themvelvee more se
dately, tho two ladies comfortably en
sconced against a cushion of heather and
holding their sunshades over their heads.
Mala has Mr. Monckton to welt upon her, ‘<yill pcjple?’ ” I atk, smiling a tilth
and seem! to have forgotten all about her "What do you think, M»a Probyn

has a wonderful power of exacting atten
tion from everybody—and he seems quite
fascinated by her b.auty and childish
capricrv, and never so much as looks at his
"friend.” And Maia seems quite as much
t*ken up with him ss he is with hrr; and
if the child is bswildered by the uncon
scious fascinatiun of bis voice and manner
can I wonder at it—I, wko am afraid to
trait myself in bis company lest be shonld
discover the mi-erakle secret that, as I
once loved him. I bvi him still—will in
all probability love him to the end of my
life?
When tea is over we scatter about for a
little while *-at least we younger people
do, the elders electing to ait a’.iU and rest,
and Maia taking up her position in a little
heathery nest at some distance from them,
with Anthpny Monckton stretched on the
moss beside her, renting on his elbow, with
his chin in his hand and hit eyes on the

“You told me this morning that no per*
son of average intellect ever foigets, and I
agree with you there. A man may never
have loved, but, haring loved once, he
never forgets.”
He is not looking at me, he scarcely
seems to be addn uiug me. He has turn* d
to look at the sea. 1 can ice his grave,
s'ern prcfilo faintly outlined against the
glimturriug water.
" 'Love for an hour I* love forever,* ”
he goes on in the same dreamy way. "I
believe it, though I read somewhero lately
that 'the absorbing passion for an iadivic-
ual which can only be ftl once in a life
time is probabfy for most men aa dead as
Alexander.’ ”
Why doee he say all this to me—to roe,
whom he said he loved one*, yet whom he
haa forgotten so emirsly? And did h*
ever love any woman with this “absorbing
passion” of which he speaks so vsguely ?
I wonder, while I sit there in my low
chair, in the shelter oi the friendly dark
ness, wby he chooses to favor roe with
these vsgue psychological rtflections, of
all people in the world!
"Do you know that song, Miss Probyn?”
"No,” 1 answer corning back to reality
with a »h< rt sigh of something very like
relief. "Is it a favorite of yours?”
"I have heard it once or twice.”
Maud is ouly playing the prelude, but
presen'iv she begins to sing; ami, as my
companion seems to prefsr listening to
talking, 1 am silent, listening too.
