The Secret and Its Shadow,
Ratty, did I ever think that one day I
would have the right to ask you to be my
wife'.’" .lack Rimmington'? voice was very
tender as he bent over the girl sitting in
the stern of the punt among the gayly
stripped cushions ' Yesterday I bad only
hopes and dreams, yesterday 1 was only
a poor beggar wincing whenever your
name was mentioned, dreading every day
tn hear your engagement to Paul Saxe
Today I can go to your father and ask
for you without fear of refusal."
The girl laughed, tilting her face to
his A charming oval face, framed in
hair of that brown which is laced with
gold, and eyes of a soft sea-gray that
were full of laughter,
“Oh. Jack.'' she said. "It's all fright
fully nice and wonderful; but I wish
you'd come down out of the clouds and
explain You don't forget that Mr. Saxe |
is a millionaire of sorts, when you claim
to be his equal?"
Her tone was one of tender mockery,
but her eyes were questioning What
had happened since yesterday to make
this man she loved, this semi-penniless
engineer, ready to ntake claim for her to
her father, who had treated him with
such slightly veiled contempt'.’
Betty Lumsden was very fond of her
father, but her fondness did not blind her
to several unpleasant facts regarding him
- his love of money, the ugly ambition
which filled him that she should make a
match which would enable her to out
shine in evert way the elder sister whose
marriage to Anthony Barrington, the art

favorite "but to be worth while with
those we love doth work like madness in
the brain. " and Sir George Lumsden's
dislike of his wealthy artist son-in-law
was rapidly approaching a mania
Rimmington Lent and kissed her.
"By no manner of means.' he said. ' I
forget nothing. 1 don't even mean to
pretend that 1 am in reality Saxe's equal;
though, after all, for all his pretensions,
do any of us know exactly what that
means? only w hereas yesterday 1 was a
poor man. in a week's time I shall be a
rich one. ! didn't mean to speak today,

She was absolutely and entirely happy
as onl\ ’he woman who loves and knows
herself loved can be.
An exclamation from the man at her
side made her turn. Rimmington’s face
was ghastly. The hand that held the open
letter shook.
"Has anything happened? oh, Jack,
what is it?”

A startled note beat in the girl's voice.
It recalled Rimmington to himself. “No,
