But the light of agolden sunset slant- ing from the far west caught the au- burn of her uncovered head, and lit it with a rusaet glory.

The memory of that day sobered and‘ melted him. i She did not; deny it. She was very calm now. The hurricane of passion and despair had passed over her and was over, leaving her alittle bit cold and chilled. and oh, so weary! But there was a definite work before her "It ia Matthew Dane Who has oom- missioned you to say this!" be ex- claimed.

He spoke angrily, aimost inooherent.. ly.
