' 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 Her eves wandered. It was vert still here n that private ba, <wat»r. where the lilies ■' bed up epeu-eyed at t'.-o sky. showing like lozenges of vivid blue* through the lazily-moving foliage. The sun slanting through the willow under 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 ling him -for the moment even she had been blotted out. Her hand stole round his with a soft, warm clasp "Yes; it's pretty awful to feel that while fLOOWsT®® you are a true follower of Isaac Walton, stop chasing the almighty Jji&f i dollar, and, for a short while, take U P the P ursuit happiness along the 6,000 miles of trout streams in Colorado, where the climate makes men over in a fortnight. <g| S\ WiiiiSwllw'-■' nWBm; A trip to Colorado is hut a few hours * -of pleasant traveling if you go via the Frisco Short Cut to Colorado The Kansas City-Flotida Special is equipped for the comfort and convenience of Colorado vacationists. * Splendid electric lighted Pullman, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Birmingham and • j Memphis to Kansas City and Colorado without change.

MAY 27. 1912 one’s been ao happy one’s brother’s been 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, “Yes, one of the best, you’ll bear him called ugly names. T krudv what \our father will Say of him." ’ "Oh, father! You* mustn’t nrintl him. Jack. He doesn't mean half that he says But tell, me about Toby--if it won’t hurt you very much. I’d love to know You see. I understand a. little what you feel. dear. He was to you something like what Edith is to me And that well, it’s not to be put into wnrdS. But I’d give my life to save her from the shadow of a heartache." 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<\ outrun the constable so hopelessly and come to final, irretrievable grief over the 'ork meeting just a year ago.
