At times they "irted the side of a mountain. and far below them In the valley the River Leine wound its way along like a broad silver band.

It lay not far back from the road, " very long. two- etoriel white building. free from the over-ornamentation which disfigured moat of the near-by mundane. White pillars in front, after the colonial 13- h- ion, supported a long sloping veranda root, and the smooth. trimly-kept lawns stretched almost to the terrace which bordered the piazza. There were sun blinds of striped holland to the southern windows. and about the whole place there was an air of simple and elegant refinement. which Mr. Cabin found curiously attractive. He broke for the first time the silence which had reigned betWeen him and the driver. _ - "What are we going to dot" Mr, Sabin asked. "You ought tu'have alighted at the last station. air." the man continued. "Stockbridge in eleven miles trom here." They walked out on to the road where a one-horse buggy was waiting.

The clear air was fragrant with a peculiar and aromatic perfume, so sweet and whole- some that Mr. Sabin held the cigarette which he had lighted at armU length, that he might inhale this, the most fascinating odor in the world. He was at all times sensitive to the influence of scenery and natural perfumes, and the mibility of spending the rest of his days in this country had never seemed so .little obnoxious as during those few moments. Then his eyes sud- denly fell upon a large, white house, magnificent but evidently newly fin- laheti. gleaming forth from an open- ing in the woods, and his brows COM- tracted.

Mr. Babin answered. Mr. Sabin admitted the fact with 50310 surprise. Mr. Sabin followed him into alarge and dei'ghtfully furnished library. Then he looked knenly at the servant. " You know me," he remarked. " Monsieur Le Due Bousperutier," the man answered with a bow. 6t I am an Englishman. but I was in the service of the Marquis do la Merle in Parh tor ten years." " Most certainly, sir," til; min an. swered. " Is there anything which I eap_trrrntr you P' - Mr. Sabin, calmly ignoring him, de scended and stepped through the wide open door into a beautiful square hall, in the centre of which was a billiard table.

"If you would like to see your room, sir, before you go out," the man sug- gested, "it is quite ready. If you will give me Four keys I will have Four clothes laid out." Mr. Sabin was bewildered. Then he remembered the stories which he had heard ot American hospitality, and concluded that this must be an In- stance of it. "I understood BO, air," the Gan an- swered. "Your room has been ready tor three weeks. "I had not the slightest intention of stopping here," he said to the man. “Mrs. 1'etereon expected you to do 90, air, and we have sent your convey- Mice away. If it is inconvenient tov you to remain now, it will be easy to send you nnywhere you desire later." They followed the winding footpath which brought them suddenly out on the border of a mturnitieent stretch of park-like country. Mr. Rabin, whose cnthualaams were rare. failed wholly to restrain a little exclamation of ad- miration. A few yards away was one of the largest and most magnificently kept putflrttetrreee that behind ever seen in his life. By 1113 side was a raised teeintr-trrouttd, well and solidly built. Far away down In the valley he could see the flag ot the tirttt hole just on the other side ot a broad stream. "This." Mr. Sabin murmured, “is the moat extraordinary thing in the world." "What do you mean '."' he exclaimed “I .have, not co_me he_re__tq_ stay."

Mr. Sabin turned around to find himself confronted by a long, thin Sootchman, who had strayed out of a little shed alone at han . w“I am very fond of the game,” Mr. Sabin admitted. “You appear to me to have a. magnificent course here."

He modmtly declined the honor, and Mr. Green forthwith drove a. ball which he watched approvingiy. ‘That's do such a. bad bail," he re- marked. Mr. Sabin watched the construction ot his tee, and swung his club lightly. “Just a little sliced. waan't it P' he said. "tNat will do, than"." He ad- dressed his ball with a ttoetndenee which savored almost ot carelessness, swung easily back and drove a. clean, hard hit ball full seventy yards tur. thue than the professional. The man for a moment was speechless with 'reprise, anduhc gave_a_ little gang. _ “I an: sonic}: at three clubs." Mr. Sabin answered, quietly, "and plus tour at one.” “Lye, "mon," htrexetaimed. T. That was a fine drive. Might you be ttar ing_a. handicap, sir?"7 7 7 -- 7 7 A gleam of delight, mingled with re- spect at his opponent, shone In the Scotchman’a face. He turned slowly round and faced her. She was standing on the rising ground Just above the putting-green, the skirt of her riding habit gathers .ed up in her hand, her lithe, supple figure unchanged by time, the old he. wltching smile still playing about her lips. She was still the moat beau. tiful woman he had ever seen. They turned together towards the house. Mr. Sabin was amazed to find that the possibilities of emo. tion were still so great with him. And then Mr. Sabin. who was on the point of making a genial reply, felt a sudden and rare emotion stir his heart and blood, for almost in his ears there had sounded a very sweet and familiar voice, perhaps the voice above all others which he had least expected to hear again in this world. “You have not tfien forgotten your golf, Mr. Sabin? What do you think of my little course'?" "I did not know it," he answered. gravely, "tor I never heard ot your mggriage." - - _ _ "Aye, but we will be having a tine game," he exclaimed. " Though Pm thinking you will down me. But It In grand good playing with a man agaln.” The match was now at the tuteenth hole. Mr. Sabin, with a. long and deadly putt, became tour up and three to play. As the ball trickled into the hole, the Scotchman drew tshrptr breath. - “It's a. fine match," he said, "and Pm properly downed. What’s more, you’re holding the record ot the links, up to this present. Fifteen holes tor sixty-four is verra good-verra good indeed. There’s no man in America to. day to beat it." “This is a. happiness," he murmur- ed, "tor which I had never dared to hope. Are you, too, an alien 'l" She shook her head. "This," she said, “Is the land of my adoption. Perhaps you did not know that I am Mrs. Peterson?" “I married," she said, softly. " an American six years ago. He was the Bon of the minister at Vienna. I have lived here mostly ever since.” "It is very beautiful, indeed," she said, "but it is very lonely." "Your husband?” he inquired. "Ho has been dead tour years.” Mr. Sabin felt a ridiculous return ot that emotion which had agitated him so much on her first appearance. He only steadied his voice with an et. fort. She flashed k sudden brilliant smile upon him. How little she had engaged! - --- - Ae "mil you say here y' she murmured 80913- ; - _ - _. -- He looked at her lncrednousl'y, Her eyes were bent upon the ground. There was something in her two which made Mr. Sabin forget the great failure of his life, his broken dreams, his everlasting exile. Be whispered her name, and his voice trembled with a Damion which tor orce was his master. Mr. Sabin, with his cap in his hand, moved slowly to her side, and bowed low over the hand which she extend. ed to him. "Do you know who it was that sent me to you W' She assented quietly. "It was Felix." They drew nearer the house. Mr. Sabin looked around him. "It is very beautiful here," he said. _ __ - "We are both aliens," he said quiet. ly.

At all events, in order to revenge himself. he placed In the front wall ot his house a stone tablet, bearing the sculptured figure of a dog gnawing a bone, accompan- ied by the following lines: “Je suls un chien qui rouge l'os En le rougeant je prends mon repos.
