"Who began it?" he demanded grimly, lean- ing closer. She shrank delicately aloof. "1 thought. I could trust yoe, Ted." Be straightened swiftly. "You can, Kitty Pennsylvania—forever and ever, amen! And new, let's get back to the beginning—your eb.auffeur humbly begs, fair lady, to know whither he is bound." She laughed with relief as the strain of his manner relaxed, moving, a bit closer to him again -with a little snug- gling motion that showed, adoeably, renewal of her faith. "Ted," she began, making a large geature, whicle included all the green about them, the gold and blue above e --"Ted, to -day has gate to my head -- it's so transcendently beautiful. Some- how, Inn afraid to -morrow won't be as perfect. I have an absurd preznonition that there will never be another day quite so gorgeous as this. I had to do something silly—I couldn't help it!" - "Like going for, a drive with me?" "It isn't the drive, it's the end of the drive," she murmured. Her head, was turned directly away from her companion. All the view he had of her was a triangle of. white neck and a bonnet of yellow: straw. "I'm going to take you to see iny new home, Ted," she went on, in a queer, choked little voice. "It's a very great honer, for you're the first person to see it! I haven't even shown it to my—my sweetheart, yet. My father gave me this old house; I've rebuilt it and furnished it all myself; it's dad's wed- ding present to me. It was a whim of mine not to let anyone see it till it was done. This bringing you here to see it first, you can call it What you wish. I told you I was daisy. Ara I? Der you think so, Ted? ° There was a long moment of silence., if that term may be applied to a pas- sage of time in which the absence of speeeh makes fairly audible the thun- der of two hearts, drowning the puls- ing beat of a powerful motor. When Ted spoke neither he nor the girl could have recognized the voice as his own. "If I told you what I thought, Kath- erine," he began passionately, then chocked himself with an obvious effort. "You're hardly fair to me," he went en more calmly, with set lips and vhitening nostrils. "You put me on my 'honor by your faith in me and then purposely, it seems to me, you texnpt me to forget my promises, and t men to, Ted," the girl answered appealingly.. "Inn doing this because—oh, say it's because I'm fondi of you—because you represent the past to me--m.y lost, happy childhood. I want you to see the little home. to which I'm coming as a bride, Ted. want you to go through it with me, leole at the dear, pretty things I've bought for it—quietly, unemotionally —as if I were your sister. Will you, Ted?" He dropped his right hand from the wheel, and with eyes still on the stretch of voad ahead, felt for and found her own and gave it a gentle squeeze. "You're a funny kid," he answered. "You'regiving me a mighty bard job, Katherine, but I'll do -my best to behave as you wish." The house which Katherine. had selected after long search, is her wed- ding gift from her father, had been paid for with a cheek so ridiculously modest thet Benjamin Penn had smil- ed to liimeelf as he signed it. When the bills for alterations came in, how- ever, his smile went somewhat awry. It costs money to transform a bleak, dilapidated old Noah's Ark, four- square and eharp-roofed, into a low - caved, gabled cottage, that has ' "Home" written all over its squat stone chimneys and latticed windows panes; complete in every detail from copper -screened sleeping porch and electrically lighted garage to the sun- dial in the flagged terrace. It was as if a rich man had taken some plain, prim, overveorked little old maid and married her, clothing her in purple and fine linen and setting her in the very lap of luxury. The dwell- ing was remade, Within. and without— rejuvenated. And when. it was done Benjamin Penn himself admitted that the view alone, from the broad piazza more than paid for it all. Away to the west, when the day was fair, ran the ghostly silhouette of a distant moun- tain. range, the footMIle of the Berk., shires; while to the east, in a cleft between. two slight elevations, lay the straight blue line of the sea, Braxmar swung his car between low -mortared posts overrun with flain- the key and turned the latch; in si - .ence, side by side, they crossed the threshold. The great, square hall into which they stepped appeared at the first glance to occupy the entire lower floor. At the rear a broad stairway curved upward, branching at the top to form a gallery from which the second -storey rooms opened. It was as if the whole house spread wide its arms to them, and to all the guests who would ever enter there, crying— "Welcome to every corner of my be - The furnishing was complete, with the soft sheen of rugs, the dimmed luster of mahogany, the harmony of deep -toned pictures. Through one door Ted caught a glimpse of the din- ing room; through another, a study with book -lined walls. In the large central hall, which was eetually the living room, was a huge fireplace of field -stone, wide and high and deep, a broad mantel above it, an ample settle upon either side. . "It is the only one in the house," said Katherine, as they stood before it. "I think the fireplace is the heart of the home—and nobodycan have more than one heart.. So I had this built in here. I don't want my family ,or my:gueets to sit apart—I want thern always to gather in one spot and that spot—when the nights are cold and stormy—is here, before the fire, to read or sew or talk—with the big lamp lighted—the cat asleep on her cushion and my dog Mike on the hearth -rug ---oh, can't you just see it, Ted? Isn't it the very soul and spirit of home?" Braxraar's fine color had paled a little—his hands were jammed into his poekets out of sight. There wae a gleve in the depths of his eyes that shot their grayness through with sparks of gold. "It's 'home' because you're in the picture, Katherine," he answered. "You can talk all you wish of the fire and. the cat and the dog—it's the woman's presence that makes it 'home,' and you belong here as though you were made for the place." Ted turned away hastily. "Aren't you go- ing to show me the rest of the house?" he asked. Katherine laid aside her hat and coat and smoothed her hair before the mirror, with little dabbing pats. Through all the rooms they went, even. to the kitchen, where a gas -stove awaited the touch of the match, and every bit of copper and alum:num hung .in its ordained. place. _Then she flitted before him up the shallow stairs, like a restless butter- fly; gave him a peep into a tiled bath- room; into guest -rooms immaculately dressed; into a well -stocked linen -closet. But upon the panel of one closed door she laid a trembling hand forbiddingly, and no one had ever seen in Katherine Penn's face the look that rested there now, as she lifted glori- fied eyes to Braxrnar's and passed the chamber by. At five o'clock they were sitting on the porch, facing the west, which already bore the first faint hints of the coming sunset. Katherine's elbows were propped upon her knees, her clenched fingers supporting her chin. Her glance, though carefully guarded, strayed in spite of herself down the road. Her color was high; her eye e shone feverishly. Her small white teeth caught nervously at her lower lip. (Continued in next issue.) Old Hands.
