of me?"

She does not speak; all her sweet audacity has fled before the passion
in his eyes, in his voice, in his touch as he clasps her hand.

But, looking into her face, he needs no words to tell him that at last
he has won the desire of his heart. He knows now what he has gained in
winning her love, and how empty the years would have been without it.
She is the one "good gift" that can crown his life, this beautiful
willful woman whom once, in his ignorance, he called ONLY AN IRISH GIRL.

THE END.
