Gone but not forgotten. has ulnar. he has been looking IN MEMORIAM. Grown weary of his reading, Kent Harding glanced across the deck. There a slender. girlish figure leaning idly over the rails caught his atten- tion. Although the veil of her yacht- ing cap was down and it was possible to distinguish only the vague outline of her profile. something in the graceful poise of her head, in the tip of the shell-like ear and in the lustrous brown hair that gleamed in the red shine of the setting sun made him think of a girl whom he had known in the long ago. “By Jove! I wonder if it could be,” he speculated. looking at her sharply and blinkibg through the smoke from his pipe. J ust then she raised her veil and turned. Harding saw that she was, in fact, the selfsame girl. She knew him instantly as he came forward. and they shook hands heartily. as became old friends. “Of course, when we get back to New York. you’ll come and see me.” continued Vittoria after they had talk- ed of many things. “You know, when brother married. I issued my declara- tion of independence. It’s a dear little box of a house in Greenwich village. All alone? Why, to be sure. That's the principle upon which I made my standâ€"a woman against the world.” She smiled as she spoke, and her teeth glistened prettily in two little rows. “Sounds more terrifying than it real- ly is,” sheAi'ent on without giving him a chance to throw in. “for the bachelor maid has only to acknowledge to thirty and the world tosses up the sponge at once. It doesn‘t care to continue a fight after it‘s ceased to be interesting.” But Harding had put his beloved pipe in one corner of his mouth and was go- ing through an elaborate pantomime of counting on his fingers. “Nine and twenty,” he corrected. Vittoria colored slightly and strum. med nonchalantly :on the arm of her steamer chair. “ \‘hat an appalling memory !” said she. “Nine years,” observed Harding sud- denly. He had been stretched out lazi- ly in his chair. his hands beneath his curly head, his gray eyes staring straight into the glory of the western heavens. "It’s a good slice, isn’t it, if one hasn’t accomplished”â€" In the midst of his sentence he saw Vittoria nod to some one. Following the direction of her eyes, he perceived a tall, blond girl. smartly gowned and of rather haughty demeanor, walking briskly toward them. A maid followed more slowly with a steamer rug and an armfnl of wraps. Wheteupon they both laughed, and a little silence fell. “Ah, it’s Marion,” he exclaimed halt to himself. And to Vittoria, “Do you know her?” “Our acquaintance is only a bowing one,” volunteered Vittoria coldly. "I met her last month in Switzerland.” "Hello, Kent,” cried Miss Marion Lane carelessly, as he rose to greet her. From beneath her inky lashes she glanced at Vittoria indifierently and nodded slightly again. “You can join mother and me when you likeâ€"no hur ry." she murmured amiably as she swept on down the deck, where her maid deposited her rug and wraps be- side an alert looking little widow in black. “I’m engaged to Miss Laye,” Harding said oddly at length. "At least, I’ve asked her to marry'me.” \ "You"â€" began Vittoria meredulous- 15'. Then a change took place in her feminine mind. “And her answer?” she said simply. "She‘s considering it. In the mean- time. of course, it's a secret.” "Of course.” "I love her.” said he. a bit shame- facedly. “It must seem strange that I â€"to say thisâ€"to you”â€" he stammered. “No, I think I understand,” she said quietly. And then she listened with in. credible patience to his foolish rhap- sodies. 'i‘here never was such an ador- able creature as Marionâ€"such wealth of tenderness and undiscovered charm. Shortly afterward Hardings took his leave. The twilight was fast coming on. and \‘ittoria sat for a long time leaning over the rail again. She was looking into the long ago. Now there was once a girl, and she was barely seventeenâ€"oh. sentimental, to be sure! And he was a nice boy home from college on his senior vaca- tion. She had cared for him, for he was a nice boy and had such manly, honest gray eyes. And then one sum- mer day as they had stood alone in the old fashioned garden he had kissed her. Ah; how unforgettably vivid was the backgroundâ€"the gold of the sunflowers and the crimson of the hollyhocks! And the next day they had walked over to the village, where he got her a foolish little ring set with blue stones, “because blue means true love,” said he. Just a boy and girl aflair.

But it had cured him. When three years later they had met again she saw that the episode with the sunflower and 'hollyhock back- ground was already too remote to oc- casion even momentary embarrass- ment.

She wasn’t so very far remuved from the girl of seventeen after all. Five weeks had gone by and Kent Harding was still waiting for his an- swer from the unfathomable Miss Lane. In the meantime Yittoria’s little “box of a home” in Greenwich village had seen a good deal of him, for Vit- toria had proved herself such a sta-nch and sincere little friend that he had elected to make her the confidant of his passion for another woman. Five weeks, and then gradually she had perceived a curious silence on Hard- ing‘s partâ€"a constant inclination, when Miss Lane was alluded to, to change the topic of conversation One night Vittoria had given a small dinner party. Harding, being privi- leged for the sake of old times, had out- stayed the other guests. He seemed a bit abstracted, and it was a long time before he could get his cigar to draw properly. The silence somehow to Vit- toria took on a terrifying tens-Lon. She strove for some light thing to say. Suddenly Harding looked up from his Cigar. “Vittoria!” he said and put out his hand and touched hers. “She was gorgeous tonight, gor- geous,” observed Vittoria meditatively. “Who? Why, Marion Lane, stupid!” Harding gazed at her bewilderedly for a second. “Why, yes, I dare say she was,” he admitted. A day or two later Vittoria was read- ing a newspaper. Iler hand trembled slightly as she laid it down. Then, her dimpled chin in her palm, gazing into the til'elight, she passed mentally through a punerzuna of events. A man had entered so quietly that she only knew of his presence when he -ame and bent ox'er her chair. Like a child caught in wrongdoing, her first thought was to rid herself of incrimi- nating evidence. In an instant she was on her feet trying to hide the newspa- per which announced Miss Lane’s en- gagement to an arm 3' otiiccr. “I have seen it," announced Harding quietly. “andâ€"I still live, you see.” “Oh!” she exclaimed, stepping back with a little start. In a few moments she excused herself to give some orders to her maid. When she returned Hard- ing met her with a solemn but light- ened face. ”It wasn’t only Marion Lane who found out something in the time we’ve been waiting, ” said he. “I’ve found out summing too.” ~ “Don't!" she cried appealingly, and she put up her hand as if to close him ullt of her sight. mam in Suntll Grey, Hanover pre- t‘vrrcd, to play a game of Lacrosse on the Agricultural Grounds, Durham.
