The Secret and Its Shadow,
“Betty, did I ever think that one day I
would have the right to ask you tn be my
wife'? ' Jack Rimmington a voice was very
tender as he hent over the girl sitting in
the stern of the punt among the gayly
stripped cushions. “Yesterday I had only
hopes and dreams, yesterday I was only
a poor beggar wincing whenever your
name was mentioned, dreading every day
to 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 make 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 every way the elder sister whose
marriage to Anthony Barrington, the art
ist, he had so thoroughly disapproved.
Before her marriage Edith had been bis
favorite, "hut 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 bent and kissed her.
"By no manner of means," he said. “I
forget nothing. I 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 -whereas yesterday I was a
poor man, in a week's time 1 shall be a
rich one. I didn't mean to speak today,
only the madness swept, over me. Betty,
at touch of your hand, the look in your
eyes” -
Words of Love.
Their lips met. and the. flood swept -
him again.
“I love you, Betty Betty, I love you!"
The words lovers have whispered from
the beginning of time sounded divinely
new in their ears.
"But I still don't understand, Jack.”
She drew away from him. the first to
spiak.
Rimmington’s face changed a little. Sit
ting there in the. punt, his head outlined
against the exquisite varying greens of
the trees that stretched upwards from the
riverside in serried ranks, he looked ad
mirably in tune with the Thames-side |
scene Like it, lie was typically English
and g< - d to look upon, with his tanned
skin and dear-cut face
"I'm afraid 1 can't explain today, dear,"
he said "The secret is not wholly mine;
but in a week's time —then I shall come
i and claim you before the world Only a
mfrpgk—l only ask your patience for a
week."
"1 don't think I like secrets," Betty
said, her voice a trifle plaintive.
"I simply loathe 'em ” Rimmington
said, promptly.
"But this one is inevitable It sounds |
as though I were trying to tantalize you, ;
but when you know you'll so thoroughly
understand.” His voice took on a coax
ing note And. after all the whole thing
may be through before the week is out.
Everything is a. little nebulous at pres
ent I didn't even know* I have to leave
Weybourno till the mid-day post, and ;
then i punted up for all I was worth.
B" Jove! There were some I didn’t even
open. ' He slipped his hand into the
uocket of ms flannel coat and drew out
con e letters "tine from poor old Toby,
too no, though, It isn't. Do you mind
if I open it?"
Betty nodded and turned away. She
alwavs fe;t a certain embarrassment
whenever Ton.- Rimmington’s name was
mentioned, Jack Rimmington’s younger
and exceedingly charming brother, who
had left England so precipitately six
monthr ago. and whose name, by some
tacit consent, was never mentioned in
the Red House, where Jack lived with
the puritanic old uncle and aunt, who
seemed the oldest relations for any one
like him to have

through the lazily-moving foliage. The

neath which the punt was run made a
flickering. leaf-fretted patterns on her
gown. The air was full of scented warmth.
She was absolutely and entirely happy
ns only the 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?"
"Toby." he said. “Poor old Toby!"
She caught another low-muttered word
“fever” as he turned away, his mouth
working
Rimmington could have said no more.
A sickening sense of reaction swept
over him. To have been sitting here
full of life and the hopes and joys of
life and all tlfe time the letter which
told of Toby's death lying unopened in
his pocket! While he held the woman
he loved close to his heart, cold Mother
Earth had been clasping Toby to her
chill breast. Toby—the very childish
name was like a hand about his heart
strings.
"Jack—l’m frightfully sorry." The
girl's voice came to him. almost start

been blotted out. Her hand stole round

murdered.” he said.
“Murdered’”
A startled note heat in the girl’s voice.
It recalled Rimmington to himself. “No,
not that, little girl. Betty, I’m a brute
for frightening you-: only this news has
thrown me »>ff my balance; but it was
moral murder!" he added, doggedly. “The
men who hounded him out to that death
trap in West Africa are as fully respon
sible for his death as though they had
nut a buReT through him:”
A new tone had come into his voice
rendering it hard and bitter, almost
unrecognizable as that of the man she
loved. Betty glanced at him appre
hensively and saw his face changed also
the face of a stranger, filled with a
sudden malignant hatred.- He turned on
her almost sharply.
"Did you believe him a blackguard like
the rest?”
‘Toby? Why. he was the dearest
boy
The girl s eyes had a bewildered sur- I
prise,

The Old Story.
He looked at her gratefully.
“Oh. it’s the old story—of a foolish boy
and his mones and how he fell : among
thieves.”
It was a story painfully new to the ears
of the girl who listened, this tale of the
boy .with his passion for life and his
fatal rapacity for making friends who ha<\
