Lower still dropped the golden headlower until it rested on the smooth stem of the orange tree. She clasped her hands before her face, lest, in the madness of her despair, she should be tempted to cry out.

than cry aloud. "This is my real good-by. said Beatrice Leigh, "i do not suppose 1 shall rn., m-nin alone. Vivian."
The bright moonshine showed him the tears in her dark eyes, as she raised her i rape to his: and the love in it
