if he had not responded to the appeal
of youth and beauty. So lie Motored
with Ewe and danced with Eve, and
did all of the delightful summer
things Which are possible in the hig
city near the ra. Aunt Maude went
to the North Shore, but Eve stayed
with Winifred, and wove about Rich-
.ard her spells of flattery and of friv-
olity.
"I want to be near you, Dicky boy.
If I'm not you'll work too hard."
"Ift•is work that I like."
"I 'believe that you like it better
than you do me," Dicky."
"Dont be silly, Eve."
"Yell are always saying that. Do
you. like your work bettea than you
"Of course not." But he had no
pretty *dugs to say. '
The life that he lived with her,
however, and with Pip and Winifred
and Tony was a heady wine which
swept away regrets. He had to time
to think. He worked by day and
played by night. and often after their
Pew there was 'work again. Now
end _then as the Sunday night when
he had first met Marie -Louise, he
motored with Austin out to Westches-
ter. Mrs. Austin spent her summers
there. Long journeys tired her, and
'she would not leave her husharid.
Marie -Louise stayed at "Rose Acres"
because she hated big hotels, and
found cottage colonies stupid. The
great ,gardens swept down to the riv-
el-the wide, blue river with tbe laigh
bluffs on the sunset side.
The river at Bower's wag not blue;
it showed in the spring the red of the
clay which was washed into it, and
now and then a clear green wfhen the
rains held off, but it wae rarely blue
except on certain sapphire days in
the fall, when a northwest wind swept
all donde from the sky.
And this was not a singing river.
It was too near the sea, and too full
of boats and there was no reason
why it Should eay, "Come and see -
come and see -the world," when the
world was at ith feet!
And so the great Hudson had no
song for Richard. , Yet now and then
as he walked down to it in the warm
darimess, his ears seemed to catch a
faint echo of the harmonies whieh
had filled his soul on the day that
Anne Warfield had dried her hair on
the bank of the old river at Bower's,
and had walked with him in the wood.
Except at such moments, however,
it must be ccinfessed that he thought
little of Anne Warfield. It hurt to
think of her. 'And he was too much
of a, surgeon to want to turn the
knife in the wound.
Marie -Louise, developing a keen in-
terest in his affairs as they grew
better acquainted, questioned him a-
bout Evelyn.
"Dad says going to marry
her."
"Is she pretty?"
"Rather more than that."
"Why don't you bring her out?"
"Nobody asked me, sir, she sajd."
She flashed a smile at him.
"I like your nursery -rhyme way of
talking. You are the husnanest thing
that we have ever had in this house.
Mother is a harp of a thousand strings
and Dad is a dynamo. But you are
flesh and blood."
"Thank you."
"I wish you'd ask your Evelyn out
here, and her friends. For tea and
tennis some Saturday afternoon. I
want to see you together."
But after she had seen them to-
gether, she said, shrewdly, "You are
not in love with her."
"I am going to marry her, child.
Isn't that proof enough?"
"It isn't any proof at all. The big
man is the one who really cares."
"The big man? Pip?"
"Is that what you call him? He
looks at her like a dog waiting for a
bone. And he brightens when she
speaks to him. And her eyes are al-
ways on you and yours are never on
her."
"Marie -Louise, you are an uncanny
creature. Like your little silver cat.
She watches mice and you watch fine.
I have a feeling that you are going
to pounce on me."
"Some day I shall pounce," she
poked her finger at him, "and shakje
yeu as my little cat shakes a mouse
and you'll wake up."
"Am I asleep, Marie -Louise?"
"Yes. You haven't heard Pan

dial and looking up at tlae grinning
god. "Men who live in cities have
no ears to hear."

There were day lilies growing a-
bout the sun -dial. She gathered a
handful oil white blooms •a .d' laid
them at the feet of the ,Pipin Pan..
"I shall write a poem. About it,"' she
said, "of a girl 'u loved a marble

ery day she lead a dower at his feet.
And a human came to woo her, and
she told him, °If Ilk loved you, you

He could never be sure whether she
was in jest or earnest. And now she
narrowed her eyes in a quizzical smile
and was 'goner
He spoke of .Marie -Louise to Eve.
"She hasn't enough to do. She ought
to .be busy with. her fancy 'woa'k and
her household matters."
"No woman is busy with household
]natters in this age, :Dicky. Nor
with fancy work. Is that what 'you
expect of a wife?"
He didnt know what -she expected,
and he told her so. But he knew he
was expecting more than she was pre-
pared to give. Eve had an off -with -
the -old -and -on -with -the -new theory of
living which left hila. breathless. She
expressed it one night when she said
that she shouldn't have "obey" in her
marriage service. "11 never expect
to mind you, Dicky, so what's the
use?"
There was no use, •of course. Yet
he had a feeling that he was being
robbed of something sweet and sac-
red. The quaint old service asked
things of men as well as of women.
Good and loving and tine things. He'
was old-fashioned enough to want to
promise all that it.asked, and to have
his wife promise.
Eve laughed, too, at Richard's grace
before 'meat,.,."�'ou mustn't embar-
rass me at `formal dinners, Dicky.
Somehow it won't seem quite in keep-
ing with the cocktails, will it?"
Thus •the - spirit of Eve, contending
with all that made. him the son of his
mother, meeting his spiritual revolts
with material arguments, banking the
fires of t'fi.aming aspirations!
Yet he ra J r let himself dwell up-
on this aspect of it. He had set his
feat in a certahl path, and he was
prepared to follow it.
On this path, at every turning, he
met Philip. The big man had not
been driven from the field by the fact
of Eve's engagement. He still asked
her to go with him, he still planned
pleasures for her. His money :made
things easy, and while he included
Richard in most of his plans, he look-
ed upon him as a necessary evil. Eve
refused to go without her young doc-
tor.
Now and then, however, he had
her alone. "Dicky"s called to an ap-
pendicitis case," she informed him
ruefully, one night over the telephone,
"and I am dead lonesome. Come and
cheer me up."
He went to her, and during the eve-
ning proposed a week -end yachting
trip which should take them to the
North Shore and Aunt Maude.
"Is Dicky invited?"
"Of course. But I'm not sure that
I want him."
"He wouldn't come if he
you felt like that."
"It isn't anything
you know my manner
I'm with him."
"Yes. Poor Dicky. Pip we are a
pair of deceivers. I sometimes think
I ought to tell him."
"There's nothing to tell."
"Nothing tangible, -but he's so
straightforward. And he'd hate the
idea that I'm letting you -make love
to me."
"I don't make love. I have never
touched the tip of your finger."
"Pip! Of course not. But your
eyes make love, and your manner -
and deep down in my heart I am a-
fraid."
"Afraid of what?"
"That Fate isn't going to give me
what I want. I don't want you, Pip.
I want Dicky. And if you loved me --
you'd let me alone."
"Tell me to go -and I
back."
"Not ever?"
"Never."
She weakened. "But I don't want
you to go away. You see, you are
my good friend, Pip."
She should not have let him stay.
She knew that. She found it neces-
sary to apologize to Richard. "You
see, Pip cares an awful lot."
Richard /had little sympathy. "He
might as well take his medicine and
not hang around you, Eve."
"If you would hang around a littl
more perharp's he wouldn't."
"I am very busy. You know that."
His voice was stern. "If I[ am a
busy husband, will you make that en
excuse for having Pip at your heels?"

"And is is rooks the star?"
She nodded, 'grinnin'g. "And you
are the ditaanond. It is what she
wants --diamonds."
"She wants more than that" ---ten-
derness crept into his voice - "sloe

"She wants Dr. Brooks. 'Mast any'
woman would," said Marie -Louise
cruelly. "We all know he is different.
You know it, and I know it,'and Eve
ka} ws it. e bigger in some ways
and better!"
They found Eve and Rickard in a
pavilion dancing in strange company
to raucous music. Later the four of
them rode on a merry-go-round, with
Marie -Louise on a dolphin and Eve
on a swan, with the two men mount-
ed on twin dragons. They ate chow-
der and broiled lobster 1i a restaur-
ant high in a fantastic tower. They
swept up :painted Alpine slopes in
reckless cars, they drifted through
dark tunnels in gorgeous gondolas.
Eve took her pleasures with a sort of
feverish enthusiasm, Marie -Louise
with the air of a skeptics- trying out
a new thing.
"Mother would faint and fade a-
way if she knew I was here," Marie -
Louise told Richard as she sat next
to him in a movie show, "and so
wod Dad. He would object to the
germs and she would object to the
crowd. Mother is like a flower in a
sunlighted garden. She can't imag-
ine that a lily could grow with its
feet in ,the mud. But they do. And
Dad knows it. But he likes to -`have
mother stay'in the sunlighted gar-
den. He would never have fallen in
love with her if her roots had been
in the mud."
She was murmuring this into Rich-
ard's ear. Eve was on the other side
of him, with Pip beyond.
"I've never had a day like this,"
Marie -Louise further confided, "and I
am not sure that I like it. It seems I know that even with Austin's help I'm
so far away from--Pan-and the trees not going to be a Croesus. There won't

Her voice dropped into silence and
Richard sat there beside her like a
stone, seeing nothing of the pictures
thrown on the screen. He saw a road
which led between spired cedars, he
saw an old house with a wide porch.
He saw a golden -lighted table, and
his mother's face across the candles.

"I -can't go back. I have burned
my bridges. Austin expects things

harping on the personal point of view,
yet there were moments when she
swung him into step withtber. And
one of the' moments came when she
spoke of the yachting trip: It was
very het, and Richard loaed the sea.
"Dicky, I'll keep Pip in the back-
ground if you'll promise to deome."
"How can you keep him in the
background when he is our host?"
"He is going to invite 11/ramie-Louise.
Arid he'll have to be nice te her. And
you and I ! Dicky, we'll feel the

forget that there's a big city back of

and hot nights. Dickael-I leve you -

There were tears on her claseks as
she made her plea, and he was al-
ways moved by her tears. It was
his protective sense that had first tied
him to her; it was still through his
chivalry that she -made her most pot-
ent appeal.
Marte-liouise was glad to go. "It

She and Richard were waiting for
Pip's "Mermaid" to make a landing
at the pier at Rose Acres. A man-
servant, with their bags stood near,
and Marie-Louise's maid was coated
and hatted to accompany her mistress.
"It will be like watching a play,"
Marie -Louise repeated. "The eternal
trio. Two men and a girl."
She waved to the quartette on the
forward deck. "Your big man looks
fine in his yachting things. And your
Eve is nice in white."
Marie -Louise was not in white. In
spite of the heat she was wrapped to
the ears in a great coat of pale buff
On her head was a Chinese hat of
yellow straw, with a peacock's
feather. Yet in spite of the blueness
and yellowness, and the redness of
her head, she preserved that air of
amazing coolness, as if her blood were
mixed with snow and ran slowly.
Arriving on deck, she gave Pip
her hand. "I am glad it is clear. I
hate storms. I am going tt ask Dr.
Brooks to pray that it won't he rough.
He is a good man, am' the gods
