"I wanted you," I answered him stupidly as l sank into my place anil leaned my elbows on the table so I could drop my warm cheeks into my hands oomfortablj'. I didn't see why I should be blushing.
"That's the reason I came then," he answered as he looked at me across the bowl of musk roses that were Beiidlnjr ont waves of sweetness tu meet those tliat were coming In from the honeysuckle climbing over the win¬ dow. "If yon were ever lonely ond nee<led me, lOvellna, you would tell me, wonldn'i you?" he asked as he leaned toward mo and regarded nie still more closely.
And agaiu those two treacherous tears rose and t;uij,'le<l themselves in my lashes, though I did shake them away quickly as a smile ipiiverod Its wny to command of my niuntli. But I was not (piick enough, and he saw them.
And what he did was just what I wanted him to do. lie rose, [lic'kcd iiii his cli:iir aud came around that liii;;(' old table aud sat dowu at the corner Just as near to my elbow ns the ste;ini- Ing colleepot would let him.
"If yon wanted me any time would you tell me, l^velina'/" he insisted from this closer raiiire.
"No, I woulilu't," I answered, with a j laugh
it and come just like you did tonight.'' "Unt—bnt It was I that wanted yoti badly in this case," he answered, with an echo of the laugh.
But even under the laugh I saw signs of excitement in his deep eyes, aud his lonir, lean hands shook as they handed mo his ciiii to pour the coffee. Jasper had laid his sliver aud napkin In front of him and retired to admon leh relunia as to the exact crispness of her (irst walUe.
"What is it'/" I asked breathlessly as I moved llie cotleopui; fnmi between us to the other side.
"Just u letter that came to me from the Democratic head(|uarters In tho city that shook me up a bit aud made me want to—to loll you about it. N'- body else can know. I have beeu ont on old Harpeth all afternoon tighting thut out, and telling you is the only thing I have allowed myself."
"Thoy want you to be the next gov- eru(U\" I .said tiulckly. ".Vnd you will be too," I added, again using that queer placo in in.\' liraiii tliat si-ems to know perfectly nnkiiowablo l!iiii(,'s and that only works in iiialters that ooncern him.
".\o:"
"Yes, your exi'olleiicy," I hurled at him deti.'inily.
"Vou wit' ll, yon," he answered mc Willi a ploasiKl, teasing whimsicality coming Into his eyes. "Of course you guessed the letter, and It was dear to ha\o you do it, but wo both kuow it i-; impossible. Nobody must hear of ii. and tho telling you has boon the betit I could !4ot out of it anyway. .1:: cr, take my coinplimonts to rolunl*. i .is chicken is perfection!"

This can I c u.-ed ;\i d lia fur the tive. 1 "James," I s.iid, wi.li t-iio'.x cool deler- 1 mination   in   my   voice   that  It  almost froze my own tongue. "I ine.int to tei) i you about it several  v.eoks ago.

"A\'liat;"  h? o.xclainiod us  ho sat uji ' and looked at  me wl   i the c'cpresslon , an alienist  might use in an  Importaiu exaniinalion.
"Have you said anything about this to Sallle?" ho askcl weakly as ho diji- ped the ond of his cigar into his glass of water and watched llio sputter with the greatest interest. i
"Not yet, but don't yoii<tfeel sure that | she will consent?" I asked with coiifl dence in my jilan at fever heat.    ".Sal  i lie Is so Konerous and she can't want to see mo live lonely ahv.ays without any family nt nil.   Now, will she?"
"Sho   would   consent:"   lie  answereil slowly, anil then ho laid his head down \ on tlie table right ugainst my arm and shook  so that tho candlesticks rattleil against tho candles.     'But I don't," he gasjied, and for tho life of me I could I not   tell   whether   he   was   cryUij,'   or ' laughing until ho sat np ag.iin. j
"Eve," he snid, with his eyes fairly [ dancing into mine, "If women Iu >;en- , eral meau to walk over political difii : culties as you are planning to wall; ; away with this ono of mine, I'm for | feminine rule. Don't you dare say ono | word about such a thing to Sailie. Oi course, it is Impossible as it is funny." ; It was a tragedy to have such a love- \ ly scheme iis I had thought up on tho ' spur-of the moment knocked down! suddenly by a half dozen iwsltive wonls | from a mere mau, and for a moment my <!yes fou;;lit with his iu open relicl- ! lion. Then 1 rose hau^'htiiy and walk- i ed out ou the front porch,
"Dear," he said as ho followed me and took my hand in lils and drew mc near him, "don't you kuow that your wanting to imt your shoulder under any burden I may be bearing lifts it completely? There are things iu this situntiou that you cuu't understand, if I seem to make sacrifices they conic from the ilcpths of my heart aud are not sacriliccs.    Will you believe uie?"
How can  he help loving Sailie Willi her so em]plialically there? I nuswoi'cd him I suppose to his lik-
