He felt the young breast held close
to his two lift and tail in ihrobe of
short, quick breath. Aiter a minute
he raised his head and drew her out
from the shadow or the tree where
he could see into her upturned lace.
The big full moon shining down
through the leaves reflected its all
very splendor in the dark eyed look
ing up into his and he saw there the
light "ne'er seen on land or sea." He
read there the old. old story ot the.
things that are—the revelation of
lite. or nature itself. in their humid
depths he saw revealed the great
underlying secret. the immortal
story oi’ the Universe. Jim Eiwell
was awake at last. He loved and
was loved. With a fervent exclama-
tion. he kissed her again and again.
“Dear." he said. "and l was so

lie held her close until her sob

utes later she left him to go into the
house. But before she went she had
condded in him another secret and
given to him the promise he had ex-
acted.
“Yes. Jim.” was the answer she
made to his question. "i promise.
Not until you come back shall any-
one except sister learn from me our
secret. And if-" her arms tight-

"All right." she. whispered. "And

She was gone. and once more. as
she moved from tho shade of the
