his heart as a cat with a mouse, and

Her husband died after a few yeara and
the widow made it very plain to A.
Quintner that he might share the dead
man's millions wi h her, but he pre-
ferred to remain simply a "elk." In the
war department.
But b* did not lowe faith In his ideal,
as we shall see.

Rhe looked up and saw me. A wave
of color swept from brow to chin, leav-

In the garden I first saw her. She
moved umongst the roses tall and fair,
Che spirit of the flowers. She was
wearing a dress all whits, which fell
in gracious folds about her. giving a
touch of dignity to the girlish figure.
One hand held a basket, and with u
pair of seissors she was busily snip-
plug off dend leaves and tending, al-
most caressing,'.*-, the newly-opened
buds of her favorite flowers.
"You love roses,” I said, involun-
tarily.
"Yes. I love them. I could not lye
without them.” Her smile robbed the
remark of extravagance.
“You see,” she continued, raising
her eyes to my face, “I have lived in
the country all my life, and my flowers
are almost my sole companions.”
"Inarticulate, and for that reason de-
airable.”
“Oh, no," she said, gaily, “ths flow-
ers have a language of their own, al*
though we grose mortals fall to un-
derstand it. Do you see that tall fel-
low bending down to exchange confi-
dences with his companion?”
“A clear representation," I answered,
gravely, “of 'Love among the roses.’"
I puffed at my cigarette, watching
her deft fingers moving amongst the
cool, green leaves.
“And yet,” raid I. presently, "life
has compensations, oven for the ab-
sence of fowers."
She shook her head wisely.
The things that men strive for—
are they equal to these? I have heard
that life m full of disappointmenta,
but there are no disappointments in
Nature. I doubt the value of your
eompensatlons. .Mr. Dumford."
