ut no longer.

"I must come, dearest Amy," I gasped. "There-there-th--"

And with a half murmured ejaculation of pleasure I poured down a flood
of love's tide and sank motionless on my belly in the bed.

In a few minutes I recovered and we both lay side by side. Again and
again we tasted bliss in each other's arms, I sought to repay her for
the delights she had afforded me, and I may say, I succeeded. At last
we were unable to do anything more and fell asleep in each other's
arms. We were awakened by a tap at the door. Amy rose up and ran to
open it and who should be there but Mr. Clarence. A few hurried
whispers ensued between them, then Herbert stepped into the room.

"Dear Kate," said he, coming to me as I lay in bed. "Amy has informed
me that you have come to a good understanding together, and I need not
tell you how much gratified I am to hear it. God forbid that two such

few days--there is no reason we should not enjoy pleasure all together.
I propose that tomorrow evening shall be our initiation--we shall have
the house entirely to ourselves. Do you consent, Kate?"

"Willingly," I replied. Jumping up from my bed, regardless of the
exposure of my person, and throwing my arms around his neck, I kissed
him on the lips.

"What do you say, Amy, do you consent?"

"I shall like it most of all things," replied his sister-in-law,
following my example. As we both hung about his neck he pressed us to
him, and the sight of our naked charms evidently affected him, and I
thought he would there and then give us proof of his prowess, but he
controlled himself and advised us to husband our strength for the
following night as he intended to do. He then kissed us both and
retired from the chamber.

AN ORGY

The next day at two o'clock Mrs. Clarence and her two children started
for Philadelphia, leaving Amy, Mr. Herbert and myself the sole
occupants of Riverside Lodge. We passed a delightful afternoon
together, wandering about the grounds, reading amorous books, and
filling up intervals with tender conversation. I found Amy to be a very
intelligent girl who conversed on almost every subject. We stayed out
in the open air until it began to grow dark, then we all reentered the
house. We then sat down to a delicious repast followed by a bottle or
two of champagne. Th
