"Very well, my dear one. I promise. There! Is that enough?" He kissed her quivering face, holding her clasped to his heart. "I will never trick you again as long as I live. But I had to be near you, and it was the only way. Now--am I quite forgiven?" "Of course you are," she told him tremulously. "It wasn't a matter for forgiveness. Besides--anyhow--you were justified. And,--Everard,--" her breathing quickened a little; she just caught back a sob--"I love to think--now--that your arms held our baby--when he died." "My darling! My own girl!" he said, and stopped abruptly, for his voice was trembling too. The next moment very tenderly he kissed her again. "Please God he won't be the only one!" he said softly. "Amen!" she whispered back. In the acacia boughs above them the blue jay suddenly uttered a rippling laugh of sheer joy and flew away. THE END GREATHEART By Ethel M. Dell There were two of them--as unlike as two men could be. Sir Eustace, big, domineering, haughty, used to sweeping all before him with the power of his personality. The other was Stumpy, small, insignificant, quiet, with a little limp. They clashed over the greatest question that may come to men--the love of a girl. She took Sir Eustace just because she could not help herself--and was swept ahead on the tide of his passion. And then, when she needed help most--on the day before the wedding--Stumpy saved her--and the quiet flame of his eyes was more than the brute power of his brother. How did it all come out? Did she choose wisely? Is Greatheart more to be desired than great riches? The answer is the most vivid and charming story that Ethel M. Dell has written in a long time. * * * * * G. P.

Dell Author of "The Way of an Eagle," "The Knave of Diamonds," "The Rocks of Valpré," "The Keeper of the Door," "Bars of Iron," etc. 12°. Color Frontispiece by Edna Crompton The hero is a man of masterful force, of hard and rough exterior, who can remake a human being with the assurance of success with which he breaks a horse. Toward the heroine he is all love, patience, solicitude, but she sees in him only the brute and the master. To break down her hostility, and defeat unscrupulous craft which draws her relentlessly to the verge of disaster, the hero can rely only on the weight of his personality and innate tenderness. It is the Hundredth Chance; on it he stakes all. * * * * * G.P.
