Against his will he war, driven to voice something of his overwhelming Tin- Beginning of the Story. Marciu Hal stead, secretary to Mrs. AUlen. is entrusted with some jewels while her employer (foes out to lun- cheon with Kempton Rosslner, his bU-pmothr Lady Rosslavr and her son Gordon Ruthven. Marcia puts the jewels in the safe but fails to find the duplicate key. She consults a noted physician who tells her she cannot live longer than six months; th.n answers the call of a solicitor to find that she is heir to a largro fortune on condition that she marriw before she is twenty-one. Returning to Mrs. A Men's she finds Kempton Rosslaer home as much as possible, and when he was there he wan taciturn, moody i and disinclined for speech of any ort. I He could not help feeling, with a, rising, fierce resentment which he found more than a little difficult to' conquer, that Lady Rosslaer and her son were primarily respon&iMe for the impossible situation which had a- risen. He could rot help wishing, bit- terly, that he had refused to take part in putting 1 straight tho appalling tan- (who tecretly married to Araby Trask) replacing the gems '.vhich his ttep-brother had stolen. Believing him to be the tliiff, Maroi.i promises eil- enee if he will marry her within two <!.!>.*. To -hieH his father's name Kempton consents. At a restaurant Manin f:iii.t anl is assisted by three f tran;i rs, Araby Trask, her father, and a you UK man, Jasper Wa'.dron. CMAl'TKR XV (Cont'd.) She found a curt iK-tf from Kemp- gle that Gordon had made of affairs. 1 Yet, deep in his heart, he knew that he would do the same again should the occasion arise. His one thought, in taking the jewels back to. Mrs. Alden's flat, had been of his father, of the name they both cher- ished so deeply. His one desire to pro- tect it, guard it, and to protect and guard the frail old man frum ever learning the shame that had come upon it. That same thought had driven him liko a goad, had made it impossible to take that stand he would have wished to take, and tell Marcia to do her ton Bossier awaiting her on lur re- ! wo . rst - , 1* or himself he would have turn h.,me.

I He told himself, standing there with "Oh, my dear," -he whimpered, still without lifting his head and holding her very close, "don't love me too much, Araby! It's not worth' It. No man in no man could be! Even the best of us are brutes at times, you know and I I'm not one of those best, my sweetheart not by any manner of means! I'm just a man, very human, painfully ordinary, with all the faults arul fallings and weak- nesses of mot, and more than of many! Sometimes I feel that you can't know the roal me, Araby or you wouldn't care so much! Sometimes I wonder what you find in me to care for at all!" The girl looked down nt him with half-puzzled, half-wistful, wholly ten- der eyes. Then she leaned her check against the crkp hair and laughed softly. It was sweet, that laugh, ami very, very sure. "Do you? Ah, well," in mischiev- ous confession, "sometimes I don't al- together know myself! Except that you are you! That you love me! That, you belong to me to me, and or.4y to me! That you're mine absolutely;] ever and always and entirely! That I| have the only claim of all women in . the world upon you. That you're my man and that my every heart beat, every thought, every breath holds in it something of you! Oh, my dear my very dear! I love you rove you love you! And I shall go on loving you whatever you are, now until the end^-and afterward!" CHAPTER XVII. Upon her words, suddenly, start- lingly, unexpectedly passionate, there followed a little, throbbing silence. Over it rose the poignant sweetness of some bird's sortg in the garden. Rosslaer could feel the warmth of Araby's breast, the beat of her heart against his cheek. For a long moment they stood thu*:j then the girl drew herself out of hlsi hold gently. With a light hand upotii his arm she drew him after her to thej window. Her eyes were a Little dewey when she looked up at him again; her mouth! tremulous. Impulsively Rossluer bent] and kissed it, passionately, yet with a new, lingering tenderness. "I'm r.ot worth It!" he said again, huskily. "God knows, I'm not worth it!" Araby, tilting her head liack against! his nrm, laughed contentedly. Never-' theless her clear eyes sean-hed his face intently and with something of: question. There wre new lines in it; grim lit'f.s that hud never been thtre before, and which made it seem, much older.; The (fay boyishness had fled in his !>!.. There was something of brood- r ir. of wc.-.rin-.-s in his whole expres- sion that perplexixl and vaguely dis- turbed her. After a minute he said. gently: "Are things ^till tfoirvg wrung for. you, Kemp?" And wiw amazed at the sudden violrnee in his voice when hc> answen-d her. I'amnably wrong!" He freed him- self from her hold and v>eiit nearer the window, .staring out with sombre gii7.f. Never ha I what he done seem- e.l more monstrous in his eyes ihan il did now.
