Storri was every day to see her; and the most patient investigation only served to make it sure that he had ended his relations with the Harleys.

Storri went no more to the Harley house, and if there had existed a least of chance that he would wed Miss Harley, the peril was passed by.

The San Reve began to doubt if such a plan had ever been in Storri's mind; she was inclined to think herself a jealous fool for entertaining the belief.

She had wronged her Storri; it was as he told her from the first; his relations, those of business, had been solely with Mr.Harley.At this view, so flattering to the loyal truth of Storri, the San Reve's bosom welled with a great love for that nobleman.

The gray-green eyes became quietly serene; the strong beauty of her face gathered effulgence in the sunshine of love's confidence renewed.
It was an evening in the early days of May.
