The same jealousy, In a different degree, prevented Mrs, Johnston from telling Mary of Ned's message. The sight of his flowers, a modest bunch of violets chosen as befitting a grocer's clerk, annoyed her still further. It was not until New York' harbor was well behind thein that Mary was told. Something In the way her mother gave the message, with the Inference that Carter was a pushing, obnoxious creature, made Mary place his flowers conspicuously In the stateroom. All this Mrs. Johnston received In silence, and Mary, sore at heart, could not understand It. After all, they were Americans and her mother had never been a snob. What could have made her take this attitude toward a perfectly nice young mnu who nau saved her daughter's lite?

Harry sat In his room at his hotel gazing at au invitation on the table before him. Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Hemingway requested the pleasure of his company at dinner on Wednesday night. This was Monday. Could he bear meeting. Mary Southland again as the wife of another? Yes; why not? His love for her was still a part of bis very being but had been mellowed by time. The dream of his youth was in "that deep, deep gulf where things that might have been and never were are always wandering." She had written him at San Diego promising to wait for years if necessary. At San Diego he had left the ship and begun a series of wanderings In Ceutral America and finally In Alaska. Sometimes mail reached htm In the far, wild regions to which he penetrated; more often It did not. ,. He Lad warned Mary of this and was not surprised When, occasionally, he received a letter' from her and It contained references to previous letters which he had never received. Every now and then, from places, he sent off letters to her, some of which got through and some of which did not. Harry was In Alaska and had come down to Sitka from a long trip up somewhere near the Arctic circle when be met a man from bis home city whom he had known slightly In former days. He was thirsty for news from home. "T.y the way." said the garrulous purveyor of It. "old Southland's daughter the pretty one - ; what was her name?" "Mary?" suggested Harry. "Mary, was It? Yes, I guess that went was the name; but no matter' on the gossip "she was married to Clus Hemingway mighty rich fellow just before I left home." Harry never wrote to Mary after that. He started the next day for the Aleutian Islands und was lost to civilization for a year. Finally came his connection with the copper company, his fortunes mended. He could look to the future confidently ns far as money was concerned. Eight years and he was back In his home town, gazing thoughtfully at a dinner Invitation. He wondered how Mary looked now.
