"Yes, I know," said Miss Arminell: "but haven't any blue plates."

I tell you what,” cried thus lad eagerly When I go back, I'll look over the old blue crocks in our lumber-room and send you half a dozen."

Indeed, I couldn't think of accepting such a present from a stranger,” replied Miss Aminell stiffly.

“Oh, now you are unkind!—After I have eaten such a lot of your cake and drunk three cups of your tea, to call me stranger! I shall make the mater send you her paste-board all the way from Hampshire and pave the way for the plates.

I should, of course, be charmed to make your mother's acquaintance,” said Miss Arminel; “but. Iling you will not send the plates, for I should only return them immediately."

Her view was Miss Arminell's weak point. The dining-room window looked over to the Exhibition grounds, and, un fine days, she could see from her bedroom the towers of the Crystal Palace. Finally she deputed Miss Ripley to act as show woman to the young inen.

And to her it had truly been death in life. She knew this now." Even when the

black curtain of existence. in the sanatorium had been lifted, she had lived in a grey twilight as of dimly lighted vaults. And now, in moment, there had been let in a flood of dazzling day light. Once again, she felt young, vital. her palses thrilling anew to her heart's desire.

The change was too sudden · Faintness came over her. She swayed, groping hlindly with her hands, and would have fallen had he not sprung to her side, and, with his strong arm round her, put her back in her chair. Then the pent-up yearning and remorse that had tortured him broke forth in passionate words. Shef heard then as in a dream, realising only with her inner senses that he was telling her low he had always loved her, and had broken his heart in despair at the thought of having irreparably injured her: how he would not have dared to come near her, but for something-extra- ordinary that had happened.

.. And then her physical brain grasped the last spoken words.

My dear, my dear-what can I say? What right have i to speak to you of my love! I can only knee? at your feet and pray to you for forgiveness and mercy,"

He was kneeling now, kissing her hands, his lean body quivering with emotion, bis grey head bent over her lap There was something infinitely pathetic in that bent grey head. Mias Arminell stooped and touched with her lips one silvery curl thinning away from the temple, a tender little caress that had been peculiar to herself in the old, sweet days.
