That was it. He and Alloway had
become real. Wthout renouncing
dreams, they had stepped boldly inti
that realm of bodily unity which, be-
yond all other human relationships,
resents the merest implication of di-
vision or withdrawal. She herself
had become living water, yet he knew
parched lips and a devastating thirst
for the unknown sources from which
she had sprung. A madness felll up-
on him, the madness that Inust have
all of - the thing it loves even at the
price of klling.
He became subject to fits of depres-
sion following so swiftly upon motts�-
ents of absorbing exaltation that Al-
loway was first bewildered, then
frightened, and finally felt herself
glowing with a slow, steadily mount-
ing anger .terrifying in its impersonal,
detached intensity. She looked upon
this strange, new emotion within her-
self with startled, unbelieving eyes,
as though she stood helpless before

with AeadlY effect,leasling her lover-
i:usaisndbyreminiscence of one far
and eoloarfui scene efter,another deep-
er and deeper into. a bewilderieeeMaze.
Just are$ome trifling event or fleet -
lug ipapression oeeurring in childhood
may lay the foundation for a mature
life `•of'bragedy, so had the inspiration
of Bouri e'a theory of mystery as a
holding power taken possession of her
brain at the formaitve period of her
awakening into love from maidenhood
and destroyed all other and truer
values. She became overnight a wo-
man full grown, a woman ef one idea
upon which centered a host of vagar-
bv which, she attempted to divert and
entrance Ritt's mind without setting
it at rest.
One day she turned on him. "You
are not fairl" she cried, her lips
trembling, her eyes flashing. "You
break your promise with your eyes
and hands and in your mind even if
you try to keep your lips from speak-
ing the things we said we would never
ask. Sometimes you make me feel
very small, as though to be your wife
and your playmate and plaything and
even a slave willing to kiss your nak-
ed feet were quite a little gift."
She threw out her hands and drop-
ped them at her Bides with a, falling
forward of (her shoulders, assuming
an attitude of abnegation and des-
pair. Her head drooped and her eyes
glazed with the look of the wounded
hart. Bourne threw himself at her
feet, wrapped his arms about her
knees, and buried his face against
her. His whole frame was shaking
with still -born sobs which died in the
dryness of his throat, wracked him
and choked him.
"It must be because I love you,"
he -whispered, hoarsely, as though
groping for lost foundations. "For-
give me, Alloway, my darling, my
own girl. I didn't know that love
could be such a brutal thing. Some-
times it beats my body with flails,
drives me mad and makes me turn to
rend you, as though by tearing you
apart I might find the nooks and cran-
nies still hidden in your soul. My
darling, I do love you; my heart is
bursting because I love you so."
She sank to her knees within the
circle of his arms. "Then take me,
Ritt," she whispered. "Hurt me,
dear; kill me; only smile first, laugh
first, kiss me." She became all ten-
derness; her arms twined themselves
about him, drew his head down to,her
breast.
The white heat of these battles,
ending always in a paroxysm of
mutual surrender without capitulation
of the poin at issue, carried with it
its own peciliar strain which had the
effect of stripping from them both
the normal resiliency of two person-
alities in sane though intimate con-
tact, and left them overstrained,
stripped to the nervous fiber of a fev-
erish existence. But there were mo-
ments, even days, when sudden lassi-
tude tvould fall upon them, and, lift-
ing, would set them free to laugh and
trifle happily with life. Those were
days marked with a big red letter
when they would escape from them-
selves into the rapidly searing coun-
try and play among the gray rocks
and the pungent, drying grass of the
hilltops like veritable children of Pan
frolicking madly among the swirling
leaves af autumn.
Out of this spirit of joy Bourne
seized one day an inspiration. Obses-
sed subconsciously by an unswerving
desire, he conceived the idea of laying
out a hypothetical map based on all
the casual allusions to distant spots
on the earth's surface which Alloway
had let fall, and then to carry her
away on a long tour, following as ac-
curately as he could the aotual steps
of her life in the hope that she would
betray herself or he betrayed by some
collision with the past. The cunning
he displayed at the inception of this
scheme went far to prove that he was
indeed a madman imbued with a su-
perhuman shrewdness.
As they lay on their backs on a
flat rock just comfortably warmed
by the sun of a rare November day,
he raised his arm and pointed at the
clouds. "Let's pick out the ones we
were born under," he said. "That's
east and that's north; so you know
south and west. I pick that bulgy,
lazy cloud over there. It's hanging
over Murray Hill."
He had turned to watch het face
with an avidity which forced her to
give more than casual attention to
his request. Her eyes wandered first
to the east, wavered, and,jhen drop-
ped. "I was born under no cloud,"
she murmured. "I was born at the
meeting of night and day."
By the grave expression of her face
he knew that there was a meaning
buried deep in her words, could he
only fathom it. For that occasion he
was content, but on subsequent days
he made other essays of a litre nature
and pierced his results laboriously to-
gether as one tries out the sections
of a jig -saw puzzle until he felt suf-
ficient assurance to +produce the great
atlas on an evening when they were
alone in the library and propose a
new diversion.
"Let's travel," he said. "Let's,trav-
el the whole world over."
"Oh, let's!" -cried Alloway, clapping
her hands, hurling herself on the big
couch before the fire and tucking her
feet beneath her.
He drew up a low table, spread the
atlas open at the map of the world,
sat down beside her, and seized her
hand. "Now stint your eyes so you
can't cheat, and we'll see where we
begin."
Vie made a pointer of her slender
forefinger, carried it through the air
in wide circles which rapidly diminish-
ed until he plunged it down.
`There," he said. "Yon didn't cheat
did you ? . It's C,lt1na."
„I didn't," Maid Alloway, laughing,
"but
what about you?"

"Here we are. We"fl ei?l` some-
where on the coast. Everylhody does.
You say where." -
"One can only start front Shang-
hai, if one starts at alI," said Allo-
way, enigmatically.
He led her a great tour 'through
China, visited place after place fa-
miliar to their many long talks, cross-
ed to Japan and into India, flew off at
a tangent to Rio and tbe.Birer Plate,
calve back and approached:New York
by some uncharted air route vaguely
depicted. Long before they had finish-
ed the journey Alloway's face had ex-
perienced a peculiar change of ex-
pression, at first wondering, then
doubting, and finally fully convinced.
She lost interest, her eyes wandered,
and presently she arose and stretch-
ed her arms in feigned weariness.
"I'm tired with so much travelling,•'
she said. "Let us go to bed."
"And to -morrow w'e'll pack," said
Bourne, looking up at her with a pe-
culiar fixity.
'What do you mean?" asked Allo-
way. . ,
He laughed nervously. "I mean
just that, you dear girl. We are go-
ing to pack for that very trip. Don't
you want to go?"
Alloway looked at him intently.
"No," she said, after a pause, "I do
not wish to go."
"Oh, Alloway," he begged, rising
and putting his arms around her,
"please go! Please play my game!
Oh, darling, please don't spoil it! I
want it so much and I'll be so good,
so very good."
She denied him again and again and
with each denial he returned more
fervently to the attack, petting her,
pleading with her, caressing her with
all those arts of the lover which break
the wills and the hearts of women.
She melted slowly in his arms; ques-
tion chased question across her fea-
tures, but in the end it was an ex-
pression of terror which lay like a
transparent shadow superimposed ov-
er the yielding and yearning tender-
ness of her face.
"You wish it more than anything
else?" she asked.
"More than anything else," replied
Bourne.
"I will go," murmured Alloway in
so low a tone that he could scarcely
hear her, and then clung to him with
such trembling hands and such a
quivering of her whole body that for
a moment fright made him forget his
hard-won victory.
"My derlange' he whispered, "what
makes you shake so? Why are you
afraid?"
For a moment she did not answer.
She dropped her face against his
breast and premised closely to hint.
"Twice I have lost the big round
world and found it," she said, finally,
in the same low and far -away tone.
"I am afraid of losing it again and
finding a marble."
"What do yon mean?" asked Bourne
unsmiling, intent
"You do not understand; you have
not understood," murmured Alloway,
lifting her face and smiling into his
eyes• then she released herself and
cried, gayly, "Come, I'll race you to
the room."
She flew up the spacious stairs like
a disembodied sprite, but the heart of
the ohild in her was panting to bury
its head in a pillow.
All the following day Bourne rush-
ed from one office to another, studying
time -tables and sailings, securing res-
ervations and shopping here and there
to make a purchase. He was troubled
over the mood in which Alloway had
given in to him, but, nevertheless, he
was in feverish haste to be off and
put his fantastic scheme to the test.
He had seen his father and had talk-
ed to him for the first time in his life
with conscious mental reservations.
J. E. had subjected him to such a
gimleting from his penetrating eyes
that for a moment his son was tempt-
ed to be done with half truths and
tell hie father all the madness and

While:Bourne won rushing :about
town, completing his areangefeents,
Alloway sat in her bedroom,. listless-
ly superintending Janet's packing. The
maid looked pp frequently from her
work to study her mia,tress's face with
growing dissatisfaction. She found
upon it an bion of wistful sad-
ness such as it bad not borne even in
the loneliest moments of her long so-
journ at the hotel.
"You are not very keen on going
this journey, are you, Miss Alloway?'!
she asked.
The girl smiled at this form of ad-
dress, so suggestive of a conjunction
between_ respect and affection, which
Janet had continued to use in spite of
the marriage, apparently from some
vague intention of asserting rights
in her mistress prior and superior to
those of the other servants.
"Not very," said Alloway.
Janet dropped over a trunk hanger
the garment she was about to fold.
"Are you happy? _Are you?" she
asked, with a suppressed intensity
quite foreign to curiosity.
"Oh, yes," said Alloway, easily, and
rose from her chair. "I think I'll go
out and buy a thing or two," she con-
tinued, dressed herself in an incon-
spicuous travelling suit, arid left the
room and presently the house. Simon
glancing at her absorbed face, sug-
gested the car, but she refused, say-
ing that she preferred to walk. He
watched her until she reached Madi-
son Avenue) where she paused, looked
at her watch, and then turned uptown,
walking swiftly, her head erect. She
disappeared from his view and from
the house in Murray Hill; she did not
come back.
Bourne returning very late for
lunch, looked into the dining room,
and then hurried through the house
in search of his wife. He was keen
to talk to her, anxious to infect her
with the exuberance which he had be-
gun to feel and which had eclipsed
the forebodings aroused by her reluct-
ant acquiescence to his plans. When
he learned that she had gone out to
shop and had not yet come home he
was conscious of a feeling of dispro-
portionate disappointment which, as
the grandfather's clock on the stair-
way landing chimed the first quarter
and then a second, changed to annoy-
ance and finally to alarm.
He questioned Simon as the last
member of the household, to have
seen her, and without thinking what
he did walked hatless to the corner
and looked up and down the street

Alloway had been merely delayed, that
sbe had become interested and for-
getful of time and that'she would re-
turn now at any moment. "The door
will open during this turn," he would
say to himself, and whirl quickly on
his heel with- a look of strained ex-
peletancy on his face.
But the door did not open, and when
two hours had passed he rang for
Simon and changed his order. "When
my farther comes, Simon, tell him I'm
in here," he said. Then he sat down
with his chin cupped in his hands and
waited without the movement of a
muscle or the flicker of an eyelash.
His brain was divided; one part of it
was in a turmoil of search for unused
expedients, of speculations and impot-
ent striving toward a solution which
continued to elude it. The other part
was quit calm and said to him, with
monotonous repetition: "I told you
so; I have been telling you it would
happen. Stop your questioning. It's
not use. No use."
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
J. E. entered the library slowly. It
had hardly needed the anxiety on Si-
mon's face or his hushed message to
bring home the fact that a disaster
had befallen. The house itself seem-
ed a robbed shell, a darkened habita-
tion from which the life blood had
been suddenly sapped. Silences
John•Bourne had never before notic-
ed, save on the day of terror which
had witnessed the passing of his wife,
seemed to smite by contradiction on
his ear. He had stopped deliberately
in the hall and listened for Alloway's
laughter; but instead he heard the
silences, picked them out as one might
pick out vacancies where ttarn:iliar
chairs and tables had once stood.
He walked up to his son and laid
his hand with a light touch upon his
shoulder. Ritt leaped to his feet,
stared at his father, and then sat
down again heavily. "She has gone,"
he said.
J. E. nodded, drew up a chair, and
seated himself. For an instant a look
of weariness and disappointment
clouded his brow. He drew a deep
breath, and after a long pause spoke.
"I can't help you," he said, 'with-
out reproving you first. There is only
one way in which you could have hurt
Alloway -you must have bruised her
imagination. How did yon do it?"
Ritt kept silence for a moment;
then he leaned forward in his chair
and stammered his way into his story.
Presently it came with the rush of
an, unloosed flood. He poured out to
his father all the tale of his unreason

THE FOREST has played a major part in Canada's
