To this paradox he replied bya .y laugh which was so infectious ‘int she Jo.ned in. “If the world uldlbe filled with schooiinistresses ‘iv you, why ilien the millennium

u'd be here."

“If you say things like that I shall nd you back to Filey instead of in- itlng you to tea at the Camp, which may do, if you behave yourself very ii." "

"I'll try to," he said and then fell e of those sudden silences which 3c fraught with destiny.

"1 saw your father yesterday; be~ re I left." “Ch, did you?" remarked Mary,

'but zi:i:cd no questions. “I suppose that is lioiv you found is so easily. Father has always promised to come rind see us in camp but lie never has. I wish you iiad brought him along."

"I wish I hzid, but then you see I wasn't sure as to what might happen."

Again she had no desire to question ‘or comment, and her heart fluttered i Viki: the wings of a bird and her lcolour rose.

‘Ire come-can't you guess what for," he asked and his voicc had a

remcr in it which shook hers. She

1d no answer.

“My task at Mrrdocks is going to

Mary covered her face with her hands. so it liacl 00ml‘, this wonder of all wonders of which she had heard amid read and yet had hardly believed in!

It had come in such exquisite guise that she was afraid.

He misunderstood both iier attitude and i101‘ silciicc.

"Perhaps I've been precipitate," he went on in tiie queer pleading liuinblc voice with which u. great love seeks to pic-ad its cause. "But that day when I crossed tiic road in the sunshine and found you itt your desk, l kiieuu"

"Knew what?" she asked and her hands fell and her eyes met his

She turned to liini quickly tigdlll tiiid her eyes, which had idly ivatciicd the sweep of a seagull on the wing, filled with tears. _

"But I can't," slie said very simply. "lf only you were it poor nmii, or one with your way to make, oh, how easy and beautiful it would be! I would follow you to the ends of tiic earth.“

She withdrew herself from ills ilrnis alter a time, and put licr hut above her ruffled hair.

"Don't do that, darling; let the sun ‘jet in the meshes; they arc rivals to its sheen."

"Don't be so foolish. You know I'm tiic ugly duckling of the fanilly "ind there is no use pretending about me," she said with a touch of saucl- ness which just for 1 fleeting moment rrhde her akin to Bee. "I've no illusions about myself, and never will have, tliougi. perhaps now,"

"1 shall be more respectful to myself. But let us talk seriously. Do you know that, according to all the tenets of your order, it is a monstrous thing you are contemplating? 'I'iierc is no blue blood in the Freeland veins. My grandfather was a rlveter in a Clyde shipyard, and my father started work at nine. We come of a long line, not of kings, but of working folks, and we've got the virus in our blood. Tliat is wliy I was in such a state of perpetual rebellion at Mardocks."

“I know it all better than you can tell me, my dear. I've seen your cyt-s flash. 1 know your hatred of in- justice and of the servitude which paralyses effort)’.

“Oh, it does! Work liiis to be lifted up, to be dignified, to be sliared by all. It is the only short cut to the millennium. You should have heard me enlarging on tiic gospel of work to the girls when we assembled after supper the first night we were in camp. ‘Ifiiey like crimp preaching and remember it somehow so much better than things said to them in a club-room.

"No, no! she said faintly. "How could it. be that? You came to claim ii great inheritance."

"i surc did," he said with all a lover's fervour. She smiled tremul- ously nnd turned away her revealing eyes.

“I'm waiting for my answer," he ,said presently. "God send it may be ithc one 1 want."

' She turned to iiiui slowly, quiet, iill ilCl‘ colour goiic. "Have you counted the cost? You know what I am a very simple person. Mrs. Manning will- be horrified. You must know that. She would consider me the greatest calamity that had ever happened to Mardocks"

"Does that matter? It is you and alone whom it concemii."

“Then I have no equipment for bs- ing a great lady. I don't even believe in any of the things they believe in. I have no use for great estates and prestige and tradition and feudal things.

He leaned his chin on his hand and regarded her with an inteiitness which caused her colour to rise again.

“I wonder if you know wliat it means to me to hear you talk like that; to know the beauty of your soul."

“No, no, don't say things like that! I'm just a plain ordinary woman try- ing to do her bit."
