Therefore, it is dangerous for the Colonel to secure an army commission. Hplles returns to Mrs. Quinn's to rest and visions of a youthful love affair returns to him. VOW 1.0 ON WITH THE STORY EIMBBY as a eat he dropped to earth on the wall’s hither side, and crouching, a smile on hie young lips and laughter in his gray eyes. He was watching a girl who —utterly unconscious of his presence —swept to and fro through the air on a swing that was formed of a single rope passed from one tree to another. She was a child, no more: yet of a w-sjt-grown, lissom grace that defolk into giving her more than tare fifteen years she counted to v.* t.f<. Hers was no rose-and-lily • ••‘d>lx!on.

And he sang as nearly atf ''f)os3iblc- in . hythm with her swinging: ‘‘Hey, young love’ Ho, young love! Where do you tarry? biles here I stay for you Waiting to marry. f.ley, young love!

amid an agitated cloud of petticoat, then the rope swung forward, and the nymph was left in the arms of her young satyr. But only for a moment. Out of that grip she broke in a fury—real cr pretended—and came to earth breathless, with flushed cheeks and flashing eye. “You give yourself strange liberties, young Randal,” said she, and boxed his ears. “Who bade you here?” “I . . . * I thought you called me,” said he, grinning, no whit abashed by either blow or look. "Come now, Nan. Confess It!” "I called you?” She laughed indignantly. “ Tis very likely! Oh, very likejy!” “You’ll deny it, of course, being a woman in the making. But I heard you.” And he* quoted for her, singing: ~ “Hey, young love! Ho, young love! Where do you tarry?” "I was hiding on the other side of the wall. I came at once. And all I get for my pains and the risk to a faiifly new pair of breechei is a blow a denial.” "You may get more if you remain.” “I hope so. I had not come else.” “But it'll be as little to your liking.” “That’s as msfy be. Meanwhile there’s this matter of a blow. Now a blow is a thing I take from nobody. For a man there is my sword .. . “Your sword!” She abajidoned herself to laughter. "And you don’t even own a penknife.” “Oh, yes I do. I own a sword. It was a gift from my father today—a birthday gift. I am 19 today, Nan.” j "How fast you grow! You’ll be a man. soon. And so your father has given you a sword?” She leaned against the bole of a tree, and surveyed him archly. “That was very rash of your father. You’ll be cutting yourself, I know.” He smiled, but with a little less of his earlier assurance. But he made a fair recovery. “Y'ou are sti-aying from the point.” : “The point of your sword, sweet sir?” "The point of my discourse. 11 jvas concerning this matter of a blow. If you were a man I am afraid I should have to kill you. My honor would demand no less.” “With your sword?” she asked him innocently. "With my sword, of course.” “Ugh. Jack the Giant-Killer in a cherry orchard! You must see you are out of place here. Get you gone, boy. I (don’t think I ever liked you. Randal. Now I’m sure of it. You’re a bloody-minded fellow for all your tender years. What you’ll be when you’re a man ... I dasn’t think.” He f, wallowed the taunt. “And what you'll be when you're a: Woman is the thing 1 delight in thinking. We’ll return to that. Meanwhile, this *blow ...” “Oh, you're tiresome.” “You delay me. That is why. What I would do to a man who struck me I have told you.” “But you can't think I believe you.” time he was not to be turned aside. "The real question is what to do to a woman.” He approached her. “When I look at you, one punshment j only seems possible.” He took her by the shoulders in a grip of surprising firmness. There j was sudden alarm in those eyes of hers that hitherto had been so mocking.

"Randal!” she cried out to stop his purpose. Undeterred he accomplished it. Having kissed her, he loosed his hold, and 'stood hack for the explosion which from his knowledge of her he was led to expect. But no explosion came. She stood limply before him, all the raillery gone out of her, whilst slowly the color faded from her cheeks. Then it came flowing back in an all-suffusing flood, and there was a pathetic quiver at the comers of her mouth, a suspicious brightness in her drooping eyes. "Why, Nan!” he cried, alarmed by phenomena so unexpected and unusual. “Oh, why did you do that?” she cried on a sob. “I’ve been wanting to do it this twelvemonth,” .said he simply. "And I shall want to do it again. Nan, dear, don’t you know how much I love you? Don’t you know without my telling you? Don't you?” The fervent question chased awp.y her trouble and summoned surprise to fill its place. A moment she stared at him. and her glance hardened. She began to show signs of recovery. "The declaration should have preceded the . . . the . . . affront.” “But I love you. Nan! so,” he expostulated. “You’re too precocious, young Randal. It comes, I suppose, of being given a sword to play with. I shall have to speak to your father about It. \ou need manners more than a sword at present.” > The minx whs skilled in the art of punishing. But the lad refused to be put out of countenance. "Nan, dear, I’fn asking you to marry me.”

She jumped at that. Her eyes dilated. "Lord!” she said. "What condescension! But d’you think I want a child tied to my apron-strings?” “I am going away, Nan—tomorrow, very* early. I came to say good-by.” Her eyelids flickered and in that moment a discerning glance would have detected a gleam of alarm from her blue eyes. But there was no hint of It in her voice. "I thought you sa : d it was to marry me you came.” *■ “Why will you be teasing me? It means so much to me. Nan. I want you to say that you’ll wait for me; that you’ll marry me some day.” He would have caught her by the shoulders again. But she eluded those eager hands of his. “You haven’t told me yet where you are going." “I am going to London, to the army. 'My father has procured me a cornetcy of horse, anifl am to serve under General Monk, who is his friend.” It made an impression, though she did not give him the satisfaction of seeing how great that Impression was. As it was, the surprise of it left her silent, staring at him In anew wonder He took advantage of it to apt

proach her again. He caught her to him, taking her unawares this tiiqe and seizing her suddenly, before she could elude him. "Nan, my dear!” She struggled in his aims. But he held her firrqly. She struggled the harder, and, finding her struggles ineffective, her temper rose. Her hands against his breast she thrust him back. "Release me at once! Release me, or I’ll scream!” At that and the anger in her voice, he let her gty, and stood sheepishly, abashed, whilst she retreated a few paces from him, breathing quickly, her eyes aflash. "Forgive me. Nan!” He was in a passion of penitence, fearifcg that this time he had gone too far and angered her in earnest. "Ah, don’t be cruel. It is our last day together for Heaven knows how long.” “You should mend your manners,” she reproved him by way of compromise. “Why, so I will.. It’s only 'that I want you so; that I’m going away—far away; that after today I won’t see you again maybe for years.
