He loved her and was telling her so as they strolled along the beach. "You say 1 am young, Lucy. 1 love you. however, with the heart of a man; Ifa no boy's fancy, it Is the love of a lifetime. I may be young in years, but, His dear. I have loved you always. boyish face grew grave and earnest and Lucy drew further from him as she glanced into his serious gray eyes. Gerald, please don't spoil our friendship by persisting in this kind of talk. Why, you are in college yet and I haven't even had my 'coming-ou- t' party, and Lucy laughed as she picked up a pebble and skipped It over the water. "I am not in love; I dont want to be. There is so much else in the world, why will you bother about serious things?" Oh, Lucy, what a child you are! You dont know what ft is to me to see you about here with all these fellows. You treat them Just as you do me. I can't stand it; I'll go home anywhere, unless you promise to be engaged to me." Well, ,ou are only four years older than I am, so if I am a child you must be, and I really think you had better go home. Your vacation is nearly over and your mother wants you." Then I wou't see you again this veur, Lucy, not until the Christinas Holidays." Gerald sighed deeply. "Let's race. believe if you give me a head start I can beat you to the boat house." Lucy ran lightly uhead, the wind blowing her brown curls back from her low forehead and bringing a bright color to her face, filie looked so pretty that when Gerald, who felt aggrieved at tlu manner In which she received his wooing, caught up with her, he smilpd at the childish figure instead of maintaining the proud hauteur he felt the ncraslon demanded. That summer at the seashore was the end of his care-fre- e boyhood. Ilia father died suddenly after Gerald returned to college. It soon became apparent to him that instead of being the only son of a rich man he was to become the sole support of his mother. For his father's affairs were In the greatest confusion and when straightened out left them only Jiwt free from debt. Through on old friend of AM father's Gerald secured a position In South America and though his could ill bear the separation the salary and prospects were such that he could not disregard the offer.

Now nearly ten years later he had come home to stay. The firm that scent him south now rewarded his faithful service In exile by a fine position lu the home office. Mrs. Thornton had returned to the old homestead, which had been ao long rented, to welcome Gerald, and his first evening home was spent in the cosy library, where so many of his happiest boyhood hours had passed. You may want to marry now, Gerald. I wont be selfish with my hoy; after all these years of hard work and absence you deserve whatever you a wife you may wish and If you ber with open to me wolc,aie on rely t arms." Dear little mother, I have what I wish; that is you. We won't he thinking about a wife for a long time yet, answered Gerald, affectionately stroking hia mother's arm.

I know that, mother, but I am afraid I'll never meet my Ideal! You know I proposed to but one woman and I have never ceased to admire her. mother, for refusing me." Gerald laughed. "May I smoke? Thank you; perhaps your son's wife would not bo ao indulgent. v ' 'Tell me why, Gerald, why la it well that your early love refused you?" Mrs. Thornton never forced her son's confidence, but there was a thorough good fellowship between them and she asked the question freely, knowing Gerald would answer or not, as he thought beat. 'Well, I've outgrown her. She waa a pretty girl; sweet but childish and s little frivolous. I think. I want a soulful, thoughtful woman, one whose companionship will lift me out of myself, whose presence will be stimulating yet restful. It is fortunate that our desires are not always granted. Had I been married years ago how miserable we might have been now she disappointed In me, I tired of her, perhaps, weary of her childish frivolity and gayety. the very things that then attracted me." "Not now. replied Gerald's mother as she watched for a moment the man talking earnestly with the beautiful woman. Not ntiw.

He was growing weary of pictures and people and was about to suggest leaving when his mother exclaimed: Oh, there la Lucy Grant and her friend. Miss Morley! I had forgotten It was their vacation."
