• He Asked,:. r; i fx, Farquhar.
"That you, Dephaut?,,;
"Yes, &?r;'
Farquhar vias somewhat breathless:
He had taken .the stelr4 at ' a rush.
Hating the .telephone and its imper°t-'
inent interference -lie held that .this.
instrument had broken down the
portcullis of every map's castle -he
had inflated, when his house was
built, on isolating it to 'a special{'room
in the -hall, It was all against his
wishes- that Helen had prevailed up-
on its installer to connect it to, her,
room.
"Any -anything to report?" he ask-
ed.
"Mr. Max 'as ':turned up, sir. About
a minute ago." .
"What! ... By George, that's good.
By George, ft is:"
"Yes, by gum', it is, sir."
There was something a little un-
steady in both those voices -or was
it the fault of the telephone?
"Where has he 'been -did he say?
But I'won't stop to ask any questions.
They're ,in a panic upstairs,"
"Just this, sir. He didn't give any
information, but, between you and
me, sir, private; he looks -well, aw-
ful. All crashed like and white. My
theory is, hasty, that if 'e hasn't
been under the steam -roller, it's pro-
hibition." '.
"All right, Denham. Thanks."
He found , Helen, Jean and Mr.
Lorbenstein on '•their feet. All,of
•them, and especially the • old getle-
inan, looked worn and dragged. After
the interview with the stalwart and
gruff policeman -in itself, because of
its suggestion, a thing of horror -
they had killed time, with dreadful
impotence, waiting, waiting - for
what?
In. that city, as in every other, and
in these times more, it would seem,
than in any that had gone, because
of sensational front pages and hys-
teria, not a.:day was without its trag-
edies. There were `brutal hold-ups,
murder, attempted assassination, °de-
railment of trains, incendiarism,
death under the wheels of traffic, com-
munistic outbreaks, political insani-
ties. Under which of these and num-
erous other everydayheadings was
Max to- find a place?
"He's just come" home, said Far
quhar. "By George, ,Mat's good. By
George, it is."
Mr. Lorbenstein, who had 'held up
remarkably well, collapsed into a
chair. Helen waved a sigh, opened
her little"bag, took out a powder -box
and went all over . her face. Jean
went quietly to one of the windows,
turned her faceaway from the others
and,.. for the first time hi her life, de-
liberately gave thanks to God.
"There was no time," said Farqu-
har, cheerfully, "to ask Denham for
details. But I gathered that Max is
perfectly all right, Perfectly. Jean
put her finger on it, hours ago, when
she said that he was wool-gathering,
in . my opinion. One of his musical
friends either called -for him last
night or fang him up, and forgetting
all. about time, he's been playing ev-
er since. It seems to me that there
must be something so refreshing
about music.- . . ."
On he went, talking through his
hat, trying his damnedest, uncharac-
teristically, • to swing things back to
normal, so that Jean and the old gen-
tleman might become convalescent
after that anxious strain before --they
faced the new worry of finding Max
"all crushed and white" as Denham
had said.
But nobody' paid the least atten-
tion to him. They let him babble
and pursued their thoughts. Finally,
in the middle of one ,of his best bits
of ordinariness, Mr. Lorbenstein got
up, went to Helen and held out his
hand.
"Thank you," he said, "thank you.
I am grateful. Your kindness and
,sympathy will be among mybest
memories. If you will excuse me I
will go home to my son."
Helen smiled and said the appro-
priate thing. She always had the ap-

'Mx Lorbenstein went to Farquhar,
"Thank you, he,.said. "I understand
better now why Paris remained in
the hands of the. French. The police
shall be informet,i,,"
Jean was waiting • for him at the
door. .
"I'm coming with you," ,,she said.
"Mumsie, don't wait for nle-1 shall

She kissed her -hand hrst to Helen
and then to her father and ran it
through Mr. Lorbenstein's arm. -She
felt as though she had just crashed!,
on the brakes at -recrossing a
few feet of an express train in the
dark. •-
Farquhar, in silence, loaded his
pipe, but before he was ready to light',
it he heard 'the door of a car click.
and the crunching of tires.
II
After baying reveilled for several
moments in a sense of relief, and
being luckily unendowed with the un-
canny gift that enables people to see
into .the future, Helen transferred her-
self lazily and with "her- usual grace
to a sofa. There was a smile of ad-
miration and respect in her eyes as
she looked at the man who was call-
ed her husband by law. _
She said: "I shall make it neces-
sary for'you to get larger hats, with
my compliments. All the same I
have.to say that domesticity and part-
nership are working wonders on you."
It occurred to Farquhar that .. she
might be more comfortable if he eat
another cushion behind her head. It
occurred to him, also, not for the
first time lately, how nice it would
be if -.she were to make a cushion fol'
him.
"It's perfectly easy to get larger
hats," he said. "Thank you very
much. What sort of wonders do you
mean?", . -
How- well she knew the simple
formula, of concentrating a man's
whole interest by leading him into a
discussion about himself.
"Well, in --this case, your undram-
atic steadiness kept us from slipping
into hysterics. You were less the
retired sea captain with lris heed full
of portside memories and more the
man who is trying to make 'up : his
mind to throw in his lot With his
wife than ever before. It was good.:'
It was then that Farquhar lit his
pipe. "When will you 'b'egin to un-
derstand," he said, "that I have, • de-
finitely, thrown in my lot with you?"
She had, as a matter of fact, gone
:zilch further than 'the beginning of
such an understanding. From every
well-known sign she knew that he
had cast his anchor at home -or, ra-
ther, wherever she happened to be.
It had become easy for her to see
that Piot only had his .long respect
been deepened and strengthened by
her attitude during their domestic
trouble but that he liked her now.
She chuckled over this word. Given
peace of mind, and the leisure in
which to develop her ,tactics, she
knew that, if she cared to do so, she
could turn it into love.
The point was, did she care? Was
she prepared, after having been left
a free. -lance so long, to give up her
independence and share her life with
a man who haid found his way home
so late? Had 'he any of the suffici-
ently attr 'tire qualities to make it
worth her while to forgive him for
his . philandering and neglect, and
swallow her pride?
Yes, he had proved to her that he
had. His behaviour both ways on
the Atlantic, in London and Paris, and
recently in New York, had made it
abundantly clear that he was a man
to cultivate.
Age -though she scoffed at his
ridiculous and morbid reiteration of
lieing old at fifty -five -]dad ripened
him. He had greatly ,improved. He
had rather miraculously grown out of
selfishness. He had succeeded, some-
how or other, in shedding intolerance'
and impatience, and he wasn't so
crlticaL His old contempt of other
people's hobbies and boibles had giv-
en place to a more kindly attitude.
He had stepped -down from the perch
of the spoiled, too -rich,, one -eyed man
who had walked through life with his
chin in the air, to average earth. .11•P
was a serious person who could be
taken seriously.. His eager desir ,to
shoulder his responsibilities de
him one for whom others;. Were lad
to be responsible. In givingsympathy
he obtained it,and there was some-
thing so fine in his hard -worn hum-
blene8s and so pitiable in his wish
to be given a place, that he won com-
passion and gained respect.
Se she said, bringing things to a
point although she was an artist in
tangents: "By which you mean that
even after Jean is married end our
worries are over, your intention Is to
be good?" It was not by accident
that ehe.used Ms word.
"Eltaotly that," be said.

"That's honest and nice," she said,
"We'll argue the matter, then?"
"Thanks. That's great."
He put 'down his pipe, let his in-
evitable stand with his; back to the
fire, drew up a chair and sat down.
It was easy to see from whom ,Jean
had, inherited her sometimes discon-
certing directness

good-looking person.
He leaned forward eagerly.
"I :find that I'm sick of cities," she
said. "Does that make any differ-
ence to you?" •
"I've always been sick of cities. I'd
never go near the damn things ex-

I'm coming to a mood for a house
with a garden -an oldhouse and an
old garden, , with clipped yews and
lavender beds, ancient trees, sweep-
ing lawns, and peace. Which must
,be, "therefore,, in England."
"Jolly good," he said "Somewhere
near a golf course and a:,trout stream:
with good rough shooting on • the
place. Say the word and we'll buy
one."
Her first 'shot had gone through the
bull. She had sighted it carefully.
"But,"she went on to say, "what if
I discover in the next few weeks -I
don't want 'to move again yet -that
what'•s coming over me',is the Wan-
derlust -the, sortof.. tithesis `of
home sickness, the urge to get away
from people and chatter and func-
tions, dressing and• being a slave?"
"I don't care," he said. "It's all the
same to me."
