In the night In that hoar of self* reproach which comes to as all. Virgil awoke in a rage with himself. He had been dreaming, had seen himself Infirm of purpose, without character. Back to Highland Bruce he traced his ancestry, and was he to be the first of his race to prove degenerate, to trample upon the -memory of his father, to loll In stupid love, to give his soul to a creature far beneath him In birth an/l schooling, a girl whose father had murdered! Out of bed he got. and bowed with the weight of shame, walked the uneven floor, for his slow steps were doddering. "Caught In an Instant, a fly in a speck of Jelly, and have never been able to get free," he reproached himself. "Even Liberty Shottle, the slave of cards and dice, can see my weakness and must laugh at me. But by the God In Heaven It shall not be. In this land there is no law. I bring my own law with me. my oath, and a smile and a word of flattering love bade me put It aside, and I let it slip from me. Now I must redeem myself." He stood at the window. Gamecocks were crowing the dawn, a courageous challenge to all the world. No,' there would be no weakening now. The sweetish comedy had been played. Swiftly he dressed himself, stole downstairs, Qjit of the house, down to the river. There was no boat, but no matter, he would walk to Willow Head. Realizing that It was yet too early for the execution of his grim purpose, tie halted^at a wayside place, ate breakfast and waited for the sun. Then not In flurried haste, but deliberate in strength, he walked on to Willow Head, crossed over, found his neglected rope where. In a hollow stump in backsliding weakness he had hidden it, buttoned It beneath his coat and strode down Into the swamp. It was a long way to his canoe near the Muscadine Isle, and then a long pull to Periwinkle house, but there was time5 enough. Stepho would not go away till Thursday. Ah. he would go away no more, for now on Tuesday he mast settle with the spirit of Alfred Drsce. Mists hovered about, but the Island was In a blaze of light. Silently the canoe slit the satin water.

Out Into the open he peered. iNo one within sight. On the hark of the live oak were the dead flowers of yesterday. There in the shade was"'the box (hat had served as table, once so prettily strewn with violets. In spite of his tow of vengeance and his hatred of Stepho, these things caught at Drace's heart, shook his fixed purpose of action. For many minutes he waited--no sign of Stepho, of anyone. And then his blood leaped; for soft hands suddenly blinded him from behind, soft laughter bubbled over at his astonishment. And dark thoughts and dark purposes fled on the wind as he caught Nadlne and hugged her close. "Now for your punishment I** A.nd he kissed her. "Oh, you must not again . . . Virgil, I cannot like you when you ara rude. . . . You mu&t not!" "I doh't want you Just to like me." "You do not? Then I will try not to. . . Come and sit down, Virgil. Too worked so hard for your kisses you must be tired. . .. . How did you guess?" "Guess what?" he asked as she led him to the sofa and he sat gazing entranced as she captured and imprisoned her guerrilla bands of hair. "That Father and Tony had gone hunting today. But they may be back at any time, Virgil. Xou musf not stay." "But I must stay; yoti hold me prisoner. T must stay until you love me as madly as I do you." "As madly as yon do net That might not be so much mad, Virgil. But why should I love you?" "Because you are to be my wife. We are engaged." "Are we? I df9 not know that. Why you not tell me sooner T* **I did, and now you must know It.** "But I did not. Then I must be stupid, yes?" "The whole universe is stupid if it denies it. The angels are stupid if they fail to see it" •Oh, you must not talk like that It Is worse than swearing the big oath. t . And I am to be your wife, Mrs. Virgil? Then what do we do? Go about and sing with the fiddle?" "No, we go to the beautiful places on earth and look upon them--together. We--H "No, no, yon must not think Ilka that. You take my father by the wrist and he hate you. . . . And I do so wrong to see you. "I am the sinner, but I believe that the Blessed One, she ask for my forgiveness. . . . No, Virgil, we can only play together and then ... It will live in the mind, our childhood here. . . . My father is not well all the ttme now, and 1 must be good to him. ... Only I must see you, sometimes. That is the only wrong I do him. ' "For I--I love you. . . . I did not want to tell you, but I cannot keep It all the time down in my hefcrt. . . . I dream of you all of the night and I kneel down and pray that you always love me. . . . There, I have told you so much. And I kiss you, too. . . . Now--you may stay for a little time, and then you must go." Boy and girl they played, not frotn the book but from love's ever-varying text. In his canoe they paddled afar ofT where the lily-pads paved the surface of the pond. They landed on a knoll where was spread over persimmon saplings an arbor of muscadine; here an adventurous catbird bad her nest of young. She' cried and fluttered about In great'alarm, but when she saw that they were not her enjsemles, that they caught grasshoppers to feed her brood, she slat high among the vines, calling her mate, the musician, and here he came, scared at first but when she had explained to him lie <H«"g bis medley, ending with the catcall whenoe comes his unpoetlc name. The sun had been speeding, and went behind a cloud. Fear seized Nadlne, and taking Virgil's hand, ahe urged him toward the boat. "My dear one, we must go now. The sun was Jealous that we so happy and will go Into the dark to pout. . I will show you the near way for you to come again, the way I came when there was the fire. You can leave the canoe In the rushes and you will need it only to cross over to the cane. But we must hurry now." In the rushes opposite the island he hid his canoe, and then she conducted him along a_ narrow and sometimes treacherous trail. Coming to the footlog, she halted. "I must leave you here. Kit I stand for two minutes. The sun |ie will wink a f e w m o r e t i m e s . . . . I am s o glad now to know that I will be yoar wife. And 1 am strong and can work."

Now, you needn't tell me that It Is business. I know what-business Is. I know all of its tricks; but I also know ldve aild all of Its tricks. Virgil, you are In love. Let me hope that it is not that Nina Spence. She Isn't worthy of you; and besides, she doesn't belong to ns. She ia not of our world. Virgil, I am so sorry." She put her hand on his arm, and he took It and affectionately kissed It. "Aunt Tycie, I never saw the girl you speak of. I am in the--the throes, you might say, and have been--was before I got here, but not with her.*' "But is it with anyone I know?" "You have seen her, I have heard." "Oh, you must tell me.

Out stepped a man as tall as Lincoln and wearing a hat as high as his. #His raiment flashed like the varnish of his equipage. Drace recognized him as ha came, through the gate, taking off his gloves, and the General cried out: "Tycie, I wish I may die dead il.lt Isn't Liberty Shottle!" "Colonel Shottle, at your service," replied Liberty, bowing and gesturing with his gloves in his hand. "Well, Liberty!" cried his aunt, giving him a hug of welcome. The General and Drace grasped him, stroked his velvety raiment urging him to a seat. • "Why all this. Colonel Shottle?"-- frotn the General. "You don't mean to tell me that you have sold your Jutestock?" / r "Uncle Howard, sir, first Issue orders to have my carriage stored, my horses stabled and my driver quartered, please." The order waa Issued, and they aat waiting for 8hottle to explain his transformation. "A simple story," he began, stretching out his legs. "But do not forestall me. Poker, dice, roulette, faro^ hazard-- all of them failed." "And this comes of legitimate Investment!" Tycie cried. "I knew It would. Oh, I knew It just had to come. Now tell us about It "It was an Investment Annt Tycie. But let me not, forestall myself. I left here on a boat, got broke. Finally I reached Tampa, Florida." "Away down there, Liberty?"--from Tycie. "Patience, my dear aunt. Tampa, and broke! After a day of hope with its throat cut from ear to ear, I got on a boat bound for Havana. The Spanish captain gave me passage for service. He was studying English, and I agreed to explain to him certain niceties of our mother tongue, you understand ; and I am sure that reaching port bo knew more about gambling terms tliau he could have picked up in a year of close study In one of our ordinary schools.
