“Here is the old gate,” he said, drawing her toward it. “Don’t you remember a certain evening years ago when we stood here by the gate?” “I shall never forget it!” she declared, slipping from him and passing through to the other side. “I was in here and you out there, just as we are now.” “And it was a beautiful moonlight night, but the trees had leaves on them and cast a shadow here, so the moon could not see what happened that night.” She laughed, in spite of the fact that her heart was beating very fast. “Inza,” he went on, “you were my sweetheart then, and now I know I have loved you ever since. Inza, dearest, do you love me? Will you marry me when I leave college?” The moment had come. She felt herself shaking all over. Her voice was not steady as she asked in a very low tone: “Are you certain, Frank, that you love me more than any one else in the world—more than Elsie?” “I have not the least doubt of it. I know now that I have always loved you more than any one in the world.” “Then I will marry you, Frank!” There being no baffling leaves on the trees, the delighted old moon this time saw what it had failed to see one moonlight evening over that gate years ago. THE END. No. 70 of the MERRIWELL SERIES, entitled “Frank Merriwell’s False Friend,” by Burt L.
