Kveotually a little silence fell be-t.waen them, and in Its rnuglc, without Mjiethjfting a w.>r<j, they turned and

h <4her, a^«d smiled a little atMl ivKtie^l to f« tber . 1 be touch

of Hps, and then the pressure of cheek to check was magic. I l ls a rms slipped about her, and for a long, long time they sat In a swing of Joy.

There was no word spoken, no prom-ise, hut Krnest lne knew now that she must tell mamma. T h e family wan home from church when she reached the house, s i t t ing Iu the big living room, all of them engrossed In gossip, Mamma looked at Krnest lne sharply.

"Why didn't you come t t church?" "I went for a walk," evaded Krnet

line, and her face domed with color, for they all looked at her, and she felt Hint Will's love making was visible upon her. Mamma said no more, bow-aver, and Lillian turned to ber with the, news.

"Yon remember I told you Sadie Hall was In love with the actor, Lou I>ahtucey?" Krnestlne noihh»d, nnd I II Uuu said with some «ntIsfa<'tlon, "Well, she Anally succeeded In meeting hlin, and tbey were marr ied last night. Kvery one waa ta lk ing about It In ehorch this morning."

"Well, what of It?" said Krnestlne. "She can nuirry hint, can ' t she?"

"Krnes t lne!" said her f a t h e r s tern ly. "You know It isn't stilt able." He was a Idg man, a little too stout, with

[ a handsome florid face. Ills brown : eyes were warm and kind, but Ids big

tHiae was acijuisltlve, his mouth stern i nd hard, a tttan of brill iant mind, bul

dialled by prejudice*.

Loring put In his oar. l i e was al ways there on Sundays, thought 1.1ties tine, who was t ired of having him around.

"Any nmn who urges a girl to keep her love affair a secret f rom her foil-* in h b l a c k g u a r d and n cirl may a -well real Ire It Inst as la •. No real man would do sucb a thing. He would be honorable." He looked at her w her.

Later* alone, Lillian t u m e o ro .rnestlne eagerly. "You'd bet ter come acroaa. I think

Lflllan shook ber bead. " I t ' s your funera l , " she said, with
