CHAPTER XXXVI. Mary Kate had stopped breathing. All was Inst now. She raised her head and looked defiantly, steadily at her brother, Martin's face was ghast- ly. "You said there were others in the house, Sis?" he asked, almost in a whisper. The eyes of sister and brother met, and they -night have Leen alone in the world. "There weren't," Mary Kate an- swered, hardly audible. "And he did call you 'Mrs. Steynos, didn't he?" "Yes, Mart" Mart's tone was suddenly gentle, all brotherly. "How mueh money did you take from hint, dear?" "Nose--" she had been planning to say, while he spoke. But the little tender word disarmed her, and she faltered out an indistinct monosyl- lable, and was silent, hanging hon head. "Tell me the truth, won't you, Molly? You know no ane in the world loves you as much as I do," 'Mart pleaded. Her armor was pierced, Through eyes suddenly drenched again she tried to smile at him. "Honestly, ji1art, I didn't do any- thing wrong! Honestly, Marty." "I know you didn't mean to," Mart said. "But you let him buy you clothes, you took his name, you went to his i house and spent the night, Ah, don't now, Molly—" he protested, For the tall girl had left her chair, and taken three steps toward h'm, and was on i J her k?i es with her face against h s cheek. "And you took his money,'• he finished the arraignment. "Why, you know what all that looks like l" "Brut, Mart, if it isn't what it looks like, and h I didn't take his money!" Mary Kate sobbed. . "Don't cry, Molly=" he said, cry - Mg himself. His well hand was on Ther abased coppery head. He .poked across at Christopher, and spoke with a simple and broken dignity. "1 sent for you today, Mr. Steynes," Martin began, "because 1 thought there was only one thing to be done, And I still ,think so." Cass" Keating laughed, as -an older man laughs at a boy's dramatics; Mary Kate brought her head up sud- denly, and stared amazedly into her brother's face. Christopher pursed his lips thoughtfully. "You have ;oar sister's word for it, and you have mine, Mr. O'Hara," Chris presently said, in his poised, leisurely way, "that nothing wrong took place." "I know that," Martin assented. "But that isn't enough for you?" "It isn't that," Martin said. "But she's not quite twenty, and you are teveral years older. Se's very poor, she hasn't a penny or an influential friend you're a very rich man, and accustomed to buying what you want. Yachts, houses, horses for your Foto, jewels, and I suppose women, too.' "You can suppose what you like, naturally," Christopher said, in a steely tone. He lighted a cigarette with a shaking hand. "She went to your house, when there was no other womam," Mart pur- sued; "you called her your wife be fore your friends, she wore clothing you had bought, and spat the night alone with you. That here was a police investigation wasn't your fault. "I'll tell the world it was not!" Chris agreed scornfully, as Martin paused. "Now you say, and she says, hat it was all a practical joke, and 1 be- lieve you," Martin resumed, redden- ing a little, but in no other way tak- ing any notice of Chris' "harmer. 'Bat you mut see that you have done her a terrible injustice. She has :peen engaged to Mr. Keating here—" "My dear Mr. O'Hara;' Chris said airily, all the man of the world, "you are taking all :leis far too seriously.

"You musn't "take' too much of it." Ile .came to Martin's side and held out his hand to Mary Kate, and she got to her feet, and went over to take the chair he had vacated. Cass sat on the arm of it, 'with his arm about her. • "She told me about it," he said, "It was all a mistake!! Mary Kate leaned her head against his arm, and closed her eyes. He was being -so generous,- so kind.. And it mattered so little! "When she says that everything was straight and aboveboard, why, that means everything was straight and ?boveboard!" Cass said cheer- fully. Martin looked from One man to the other gloomily. e "He's not afraid of what people think pf her reputation, Cass," Mar. tin presently said, with a glance at Chris. "It doesn't cost him anything to hush it up, buy me off, pay my 1-os- pital bills—that's nothing to him. "But if I'd gotten him that night— as 1 wish 1 had," the boy went on, levelling a sudden look of 'hate at the late comer, "If I'd gotten him that night, then he would have paid. Then he would have paid!" "And you would have paid, too, and Marywould have paid," Chris remind- ed hien, unperturbedly, "She pays anyway," Martin return- ed sharply. "I was a fool," Mary Kate whisper- ed, her head still resting wearily against Cass' arm, her eyes still clos- ed. "But that was the worst I wast" There was a moment of silence, when she could feel, like tangible cur- rents throuhg the air, the hostility of the glances 'the men exchanged. Then there was a stir, and she opened her eyes and started to her feet as her mother's voice struck suddenly across the other voices. "Well, what As all this? What's going on here?" Mra. O'Hara, rosy and breathless from walking, her widow's veil dang- ling from her dingy bonnet, her eot- tongloves in her hand, was standing, amazed, in the hall doorway. She had come in from the front of the house; Tom was peering sleepily, cur- iously, over her shou:der. Christopher rose politely to his feet, extinguishing his Cigarette with a quick motion of long brown fingers against the little ashtray on the sink. [dentin, trapped, Iocked desperately about him, brought his eyes back to is mother's face. Mary Kate, ser face tear -stained, her hair dishevelled, her breat., conning shallow and quick, went to her mother. She took off .he widow's veil with her awn loving ex- perienced hathdn, and carried it, as she had carried 't many times before, into her mother's room. She came back to sr'u1e gallantly at the older woman, ",Nothing's the natter, Mother!" she suit!. "Don't tell me that!" Mrs. O'Hara rebuked her sharply, She crossed to the cha r Mary Kate nad just vacated, and sat down, staring bewilderedly from face to face. "Whatever's hap- pened, Mart?" she asked. For te full minute there was the sil. ence of utter confusion. Christopher and Cass sat down again, and Mary Kate took the chair she had first men - pied at the table, and rested her chin ]n her hand again. "You've met Mr. Steynes, nix's, O'Hara?" Cass remembered to say, then, rather flatly. Lhe older woman acknowledged the introduction only with a shrewd ap- praising glance, and a brief nod. "What' come to all of you?" she demanded. CHAPTER XXXVI[. Again for a moment nobody spoke, in the orderly kitchen, with its wiped, shabby table oilcloth, and its brushed Iinoleum that was worn into brown circles, The clock ticked, and the hot water faucet dropped an occasional pearl upon the dry zinc surface of the sink. Only one lamp was lighted, the green -shaded light on the table, where the children did their evening lessons; the drop light over the sink was dark, "Mother, we've been in—sort of -- trouble, the last few days," Martin ENDURANCR aluminum Mower is twenty pounds lighter than any iron mower and far more durable ...

"And .perhaps we onghi, to tell you about "I couldn't go out," he added, as in sheer/ stupefaction Mrs. O'Hara was still, and none of the others spoke. "So I bad to ask Mr. Christopher Steynes (the syllables were so many threats) I had to ask Mr: Christopher Steynes to come here," Martin repeated, with a glance at him. "I thought you'd be at Uncle Robert's until at least eleven." "Your Uncle Robert is very ,had; and l promised I'd get into a wash dress and go back and set with hien," Mrs. O'Har said automatically, ''.or "hind net upon Ter words, her anxious eyes upon his children. "I don't know why you had to keep anything sour me, Mart," she added, her look moving from one member of the silent, self- conscious circle to another. "In this case, Mra O'Hara," Cass said, "there was no reason why you should, ever have been bothered by itt" Mary Kate's mother gave him a glance of superb scorn, a Iook express ing all the 'resentment of the reticent, proud woman whose private affairs are indecently and unfairly made pub- lic, Then she'curned her expectant eyes toward Martin' again.
