She spoke aseasily, as lightly as she could. "I wish you would tell me why." "Kent came from my town—Rap- pel. In Illinois. My father was a clergyman there. Kent was ten years older' than L When I got out of the school of mines—mining engineer was my original profession—he got me my first job." "`Kent had sent me down to in- spect a zinc mine. ` I went :over the mine with its owner, a man named Talley. Carne back' to Rappel with my report. It . was a first-rate mine. A sure-fire investment. Everything the oh wner had showed me was O.K. I was optimistic and cocksure. Had no reason that I knew of not to be. I had made a straight report on a good. mine. I believe, Miss Sandal, that any other engineer) would have handed in just such a'report as that was. Kent was forming a corpora- tion to take over this mine. Capital- ized it at two million dollars. "He proposed to sell this mine to his townspeople - my townspeople too—at par, that is, two million dol- lars for the entire issue. I know npw that Algernon Talley was willing to scli the mine to Kent for one million dollars. - My report—you see my father's name, was good—was print - "I understand that, you would Hat- "No," tinnily be tempted to find some such "Then why try to change them? I've no intention of ,changing any- thingfor the sake of Mrs. Felix Tient." "You make: 'me angry. You hurt tire, Nick." ."Exactly. I have felt the same synaptorns toward you." In 'dismay the ,girl turned her tilt - cd 'eyes upon him beseechingly: "We musn't quarrel." "Ah, so you do love me a little! I'ni not:angry now, nor hurt: Only Lynda, don't try to change inc. I'ni bent into. this shape; not a pretty one, 'I grant you, My/life .is bent. It took rrinch 'pain of fire and ham-, Hier and great pincers to get me here. To get inc back would be not only torture but death by torture. You see; I give myself away to you. As to young Ayleward, if you fell in love with him—" "In love :with him!" He went on evenly, "—then 1' should be forced to free myself of you. Never. of him. Never of him. Now listen, the boy is gold," "You did not say that before, Nick. You said that he was not the man that Felix is. You said that he had, a poor outlook on life anda character that might be called unstable," "You have an excellent memory.""It's one of the things" they teachyou in a convent." "Well,all that is true. And of all possible husbands--" "Birt I should never drearii—" "Of all possible husbands for Miss Jocelyn Harlowe, T can imagine none worse. A man with agrudge against life is not a happy partner for any explanation for your own terrible mistake. But, since, I know Mr. Kent very well, I find the whole story--4-asyou tell it -perfectly preposterous." Jock was looking at her carefully. and coolly.. He bowed. "I didn't suppose you would be- lieve me,` 1 merely wanted to ex- plainto .you my Hatred of Felix Kent. I hoped that it might damage .him with you." As, he . turned to leave he handed her a slip of 'paper.` "Here's Nick's new address, He" didn't like your coming to that oth- er place. You'll' come to see him?" "Yes." Marcella and Felix both returned to town. On his:first evening with Jocelyn, Felix • proved• a very enter- taining lover. Jocelyn in' a green gown had so shining a loveliness, so proud a grace that the man's glory, in possession induced him to take her out to let the world of other'men Moat enviously . at what he had so quickly, so easily, won. In his great smooth -running lim- ousine 'he carried her off, unchaper- oned, to the theater, to supper, danc- ed with her. And Jocelyn rewarded his open and most gentle -seeming worship once with a 'look so deep, so loyal and so lovely that for an instant the soul that was torpid in him came to painful. life and he dropped his eyes, feeling a .warmth that was not possessive, not even passionate, across his face. Jocelyn game back that night hap-, pier than she had been sincethe first days of her engagement and pro- foundly reassured. In a mood of calm, of almost cold self-possession, she went two or three evenings later. to bid her father farewell. She had freed herself of any sentimentality toward Jock Ayle- ward, even of that sentimentality of an over -emphasized dislike. She had freed herself too 'from sentimentality toward Nick; but' not of her affec- tion. The first deed of her release and her enrichment would be Nick's rescue. In this snood of fiery deliverance did. Jocelyn Harlowe in one of her own gowns -for Lynda Sandal had been condemned to death -approach her father's new abiding place. Nick was obviously ill at ease in its stiff ugliness but also just as ob- viously :proud to receive her in a roof of respectable cleanness,_new- ness and unsullied past.

"W hat does that mean?" "A man who has put his foot On the neck of ` life and thrashed the bide of it!" "You think thatFelix Kent is such a mart?:, "From what 1 know of him Felix Kent is such a man," "It's a cruel picture." "Perhaps, But a woman will and mast follow such a master," "You told in if I was afraid, , ." "Oh that! How little you know! A ., woman is never afraid of these big solid masters of life or of her- self. She fears shadows and failures, uncertainties and broken men." The "swell joint" was really rath- er pretentious though Jocelyn sus- pected it to be rarely frequented by people known to her mother or to Felix Kent. Lynda was of course enchanted. She' wished for her green frock or her red one and"her eyes began to glow. To one of the retired tables Nick led her. Here -were already Jock. Ayleward with two of the men Lynda had met on her • first visit: James Drury and Gustax Lowe, looking ex- traordinarily sleek and solid and greeting her with a good deal of startled gallantry.: Jock rose, looked her in the eyes, smiled with his lips only and sat down again. Almost immediately two other men- joined them, young 'fellows in well - cut' evening clothes, very slightly the worse for liquor, with the grace and the tang of gentlefolk and the flex- ible frank faces of youth at- revelry, predestined victims of the ancient game of Fox and Geese. Lynda was the 'only woman at the table and these newcomers visibly rejoiced. Jock rose .and asked her to dance. His expression dared her to refuse him. She hesitated, color deepening in her face,'then she stood up and moved out into the room with him. They danced together smoothly and iii silence. . "You've learned," said Jock pres- ently, speaking close to her ear, "you've learned' to beam the touch of a jailbird. Yon can even.let one hold you itt his arms," • "I've come here. I must 1 •a. thru with it. I do not enjoy this dance."' "I think you do." "Really?" She looked straight up into his eyes. They were filled with a pained gamin laughter.

There she stopped above the •semicircular stairs, disen- gaged herself and saw that ;lie was white and breathing hard. "What is the matter? Take me back to Nick." "I'm going to be foor enough 'to take you. home," "Mr. Ayleward!" "Miss Sandal, you are not to go back into that room. Not if I have to carry you do'ivn the: stairs. •I have a good. reason. Go down and get your wrap. I'll try to signal to Nick. It'll be all right. You`must trust me. "I can't possibly trust you." "Miss Sandals if you forceme to make a scene you will regret it more than anyone. Have you forgotten how angry you ;were with ine once when I involved 'you in a scene?" She lied not forgotten. She flushed at the memory, looking up at him she read in his eyes a desperate and cur- iously gentle determination and she fcund herself obediently going down the stairs.
