She remained silent, and Darrell, after a pause, continued: "Don't make it harder for me, Kathie; there is but one course for us to follow in honor to ourselves or to each other." They sat in silence for a few moments; then both rose simultaneously to return to the house, and as they did so Darrell was conscious of a new bearing in Kate's manner, an added dignity and womanliness.
Judith eyed Jane interestedly. "Furs. Not the most expensive, of course. I wouldn't care to overwhelm them. I thought of black fox muffs and scarfs for Kathie and Freda, and gray squirrel for Ida and Marie. None of them have furs. I have four or five sets and a fur coat, too. I feel selfish to have so much, when they have nothing." "That's perfectly sweet in you, Jane," lauded Judith.
"Open it, Molly," she said abstractedly, thinking it might be either Kathie or Grisel; but instead of the round pink and white face and yellow braids she looked for, there appeared a tall lady, richly dressed, whose pale, fine countenance was quite unfamiliar. The lady advanced. "This is Miss Olmstead, I know; and I am Mrs. Macon. I have often seen you through the window at home."
"She was not harmed in the least, and 'went to bed the happiest girl in the building, so I was told." Katherine heaved a sigh of relief. She asked for a glass of water and drank thirstily when it was brought to her. "Can I do anything more for you, Kathie?" her friend inquired. The girl's eyes wandered to the books on her desk. "Shall I read? what?" "The twenty-third psalm, please."
But even with the remembrance of those moments, while yet he felt the pressure of her lips upon his own, pure and cool like the dewy petals of a rose at sunrise, there came to him the first consciousness of pain mingled with the rapture, the first dash of bitter in the sweet, as he recalled the question in her eyes and the half-whispered, "I wondered if there might have been a 'Kathie' in the past."
The breakfast was my suggestion, wasn't it? So you owe me something for that. Are you properly grateful?" "Try me." "Then, august and terrible sovereign, spare the life of my little friend Kathie." Hal drew back a bit. "I'm afraid you don't realize the situation."
"Well dear, I'm only talking on general principles, and what I have discovered in myself " "Please tell us what you have found Mrs. Hayden," said Grace. "We need all the light we can get, and no matter how it may cut, we won't shrink will we, Kathie?" with a loving glance at the latter.
Oh, how lovely!" exclaimed Mrs. Whitmore, burying her face in the fragrant flowers. "And, doctor, I want to speak to you," she broke off earnestly. "I want you to talk to Meg and Kathie. Perhaps they will listen to you. I want them to go out more. Tell them, please, that I don't need them all the time now." "Dear me, how independent we are going to be!" laughed the doctor.
Something tells me that before we meet again there will be a change I cannot tell what that will involve a long separation; but I know that through it all our hearts will be true to each other and that out of it will come joy to each of us." "God grant it, Kathie!" Darrell murmured. Deep within the heart of the Rockies a June day was drawing to its close.
Darrell," she interposed, more gently; "I did not intend to accuse you of deception. I only meant that, regardless of any personal feeling, it was, as you said, better to stop this; that to carry it farther after you had found you did not care for me as you supposed or as I was led to suppose " She paused an instant, uncertain how to proceed. "Kathie, Kathie! what are you saying?"
