my heart I 1 risked not only my own lifes happiness but yours as well fortune hunters would swarm ilko bees about you and in your guilelessness how easily you might be deceived into a wretched marriage I 1 why should I 1 step aside for others even less worthy J than myself I 1 wanted you now now while that sweet wildwood flavor was upon you perhaps you would never lose it if I 1 took you to myself and kept you BO close to me forever that the world could not get near to you why should it to others to enjoy the charming opening up of your young mind to the wonderful panorama of life for who could de light more than I 1 in the unfolding of your beautiful spirit had I 1 hot dis covered you why should I 1 not have my reward why should I 1 not woo you marry you with you all over the world teach and guide you whore I 1 could and myself be taught f and guided by your womanly lovell nafis eunice I 1 was almost appalled when once I 1 pave rein to myself at the strength of my lovo for you for I 1 felt th ehart of it almost as much as the 1 I to persuade myself that your love for nit was aa fundamental as in ns mine for you but the very force of my own passion made me distrust the sophistries sophis tries of my selfishness I 1 knew that if I 1 would not degrade my great loves for you I 1 must put your best welfare above my own desires I 1 must leave you free until you had taken your bearings in the world and had found yourself and then if it were not toolate that thought gripped my very soul and so eunice as I 1 am a man and not a god my love and not my reason carried the day and I 1 am here with you I 1 he stopped in the solitary path into which they bad strayed and opened his arms to her CHAPTER VT will bump you to hear it georgl ana and im awfully sorry for you but I 1 cant hep it said daisy as one afternoon in october the two girls strolled about the campus ive got to tell you you are laboring under abo delusion that kinross Is in love with you we cant of course understand how he can help being when he had the chance of watching us for four weeks without our knowing it but she added in the tone of an oracle he Is not better you should know it now while none of your feelings except your pride are mixed up and before you hurt poor gateshead Gate shead to the point of driving him into my arms how can you possibly know anything of dr kinross feelings daisy georgiana Geor glana asked he Is not a man to flaunt them before the public and I 1 dont suppose he has taken you into his confidence oh but he has georgiana Geor glana turned and looked at her quickly what do you mean daisy he not a man to flaunt his gracious he cant repress himself ho just has to let out to every passerby and has he confided to you that he Is not in love with me Georg laua smilingly inquired I 1 lie made me hear the whole story of eunice her turning out to bo an heiress and the daughter of one of the oldest and best families in the country well georgiana Geor glana no man looks as he looked while speaking of that girl unless he has gone the way of all flesh and become mad with love you would have scon it for yourself but for your prepossession that he lavod you what a chance I 1 missed myself or it id dreamed that pete was him I 1 mean he 1 might have bad a try at him myself for I 1 do ilko the creature rather it his fault that all the girls get silly about him yes sho said thoughtfully if id ever dreamed of hla being himself I 1 certainly would have given my attention to his case for I 1 know tho man Is rather fond of me you have noticed it and my own private opinion Is that wo were made for each other no hope for any of us now though not even for you georgic hes shelved the long lost heiress has him whether he has her I 1 dont know id love to see him refused id like to have a chance to refuse him myself though in such a contingency if he continued to want me id think about it As for i you georgiana Geor glana have to content yourself with gateshead Gate shead georgiana Geor glana laughed your gratuitous surmises my dear are all wrong how could a man like dr kinross care for a mere country girl like eunice a sort of servant to farmers family she was a little less illiterate than the rest but a simple uneducated country girl nevertheless why I 1 never saw dr kinross speak to her he spoke to her whether we saw him or not lie la too clever a man and too fastidious to become enamored of au unsophisticated country girl georgiana Geor glana repealed confidently the idea Is absurd he loves adores worships her daisy affirmed hes mad about her what I 1 ask Is more alluring to a world weary cynic than rural simplicity rural simplicity reasoned geor aluna Is very well in its way I 1 think I 1 dont underrate its value and its charm but a highly complex mental and spiritual organism ilko that of dr kinross could not be at one with a simple organism like that of the girl eunice it stands to reason she was duplex or complex enough to land her elsh daisy vulgarly declared and to think georgiana Geor glana how you missed your chance when you had him all to yourself for a whole month for of course I 1 in the way i i 11 m y no dr kinross found my true self more quickly because of my unconsciousness of his presence than if we bad come together in the ordinary way and been hampered by conventional vent ional forms and reserves and maybe why he fell in love with eunice instead of you 1 I dont follow your clear as mud I 1 he found you too prefers rural simplicity I 1 ask you she demanded with a theatrical wave of her hand why he la now at the ery beginning of the term away from college in new york or newport or some place echo answers hes gone to see his girl here comes your venerable young father president ellery white haired and wrinkled but vigorous came toward them in the path a cane in one hand an open letter in the other 1 I have a letter from dr kinross he announced waving it before them bad lies resigned but wo shall not accept his resignation well alve him a year off and get his promise to return nest fall with his bride hes about to bo man fed and intends to spend n yr in traveling with hla wife in

the two girls on while president ellery proceeded in the opposite direction please georgic Georg lc dont let it rattle you daisy coaxed her slipping her arm her cousins As I 1 said in the beginning of my remarks to you this afternoon none of your feelings ls as yet engaged except your pride tell me she demanded with an air of conceit cari I 1 read men am I 1 observant am 1 I cute and clever arc my

said with dignity po it would seem he Is after all commonplace lie was unworthy of the high friendship I 1 gave him if you wah that you must climb he to do it 1 I had fancied him a man said to whom the low plane of the average marriage would be iro possible one whom the universe would call only to the highest union but he was quite incapable of meeting me A country girls pink and white pret S he her shoulders leaving her remark unfinished it only goes to show said daisy that there the least use sporting ap for a mere man nor yet in making an effort I 1 dont really believe eunice tried for
