CHAPTER Xl-(ContlnuecI).
v. Htandlah wns studious In her
tvoldance of lilm without nppenrnnce of
open slight His nature nml Lyttleton's
r essentially antagonistic. Sally's nnl-
roui had been well defined from the
very beginning, when she hnd resented
hli bslng both physically and tempera
mentally so completely out of the picture
of that existence to which she aspired.
But reconnaissance up that dark alley
demonstrated It an Indisputable Impns.ie
and Sally gave It up, reservln the griev
ance for tender nursing (she hnd a very
human weakness for selected wrongs) and
turned her attention to the puzzle Involv
ing Littleton's business on the beach at
it m. and the signals exchnnged by the
jatht ana tne winnow.
Nor did sne maKe inucn nuauwuy .n
this quarter. Instinct indicated a deli
cate harmony betweon those events and
tha formless shadow to which Sally hid
all along been sensitive, of something
equivocal In the pretensions of Mrs.
iStandlsh. Hut that cluo played wlll-o'-
the-nlsp with ner rancy, leaaing it ever
farther astray In a bottomless bog of
Hack bewilderment.
None the less, she had Just succeeded
In establishing to her own satisfaction
the probability that her sponsor had
ibeen. If not active In, at least acquainted
tlth, the business of the signals reason-
la shrewdly upon that lady's hlgh-hanu-
Btd treatment of Sally's Insinuation as
Inconsequential when Mr. Trego elected
t appear for breakfast.
That unhappy young man had been
more wise If he hnd not taken It for
i ranted that 9 o'clock would be too earlv
r Sally as well as for everybody else
ho didn't mako breakfast In bed a
jolt, and a moro diplomatic person
ould have been at pains to prepare
himself against that Inevitable rencontre
nth a young woman of exacerbated sen-
ilbllltlesA Nothing could have been more
surely predestined to ghastly failure than
his cheerful assumption of a complete
understanding, with the hint implicit
that, having done Sally a signal service,
he was willing to let bygones be bygones
tpd take as tacit a sense of obligation
tot easy for her to express.
i "Hello!" he saluted tho charming vision
of her with undisguised pleasure and sur
prise. "You down already! AVhy, I mada
lure I had at least two hours' lead of
the Held,"
"Yes," Sally agreed quietly; "I am
early, I presume."
"Want to be careful," Trego cautioned;
"It'i hardly the thing, this early rising
ypu know; it's not really 'clawss'; St
Isn't done."
My 'aald nothing. It was safer ti3t
to. And cheerfully unaware of hor self
restraint, Trego armed himself with a
Plate and foraged at the side-table, with
in array of silver-hooded hot-water
dishes.

a.thrlll of coarse creature satisfaction in

with a resigned temper, and for want of a
better lead contented herself with a con'

in an encouraging tone.

Maybe not. I'm a slow thinker when
It comes to puzzles."
Up filled a cup with coffee from the
shining urn and resumed his chair.
mi see-" Some Intimation of his
Rftticheric made him stumble. "Of
course." he went on, semlapoloaetlc, "ou
understand that I'm going on the nssumn
lion that you're as human as I am."
"Thank you," said Sally, sweetly.
Human enough." he explained, "not
to think I m n savage because I've re
minded you of last night."
"I sec no reason-" sho began with
dignity.

from home to talk to you."
"Hut the puzzle-" she reminded him
with more pntlence than he knew.
"Oh. ves I was going to say when I

"Isn't it?" he agreed. "Now what do
you make ot It?"
"Nothing," she replied truthfully, for
she was entirely at a loss to fit this new
development into the ndventures ot Lyt
tleton nnd the lighted window and make
sense of It. "I can't Imagine 'V
"What I want tit know Is this," TrpRo
propounded cunningly: "had Lyttleton
an.vthlii(c to do with It?"
She hnd prepared for that question, had
settled her answer beforehand: even with
nny real reason to suspect l.yttleton of
complicity In something underhand, she
would not have betrnyed him lo this man
If to anybody.
"I'm quro I can't sa."
"Well It's funny, nnhov Guess we
better not sny anything about It. After
all, it's no concern of ours."
She couldn't refrain from the question:
"Hut why should you think he "
"Well, hat wns he doing all that
time "
He checked nnd stammered with em
barrassment. "I beg your pardon!"
"You needn't. He wasn't with me
nil that time."
The sltuntlon grown Intolerable, Sally
got up suddenly nnd without a word of
excuse, took her scnrlet cheeks nut of the
dining room and back to hrr bedchamber.
On the dot nf their standing appoint
ment she found Mrs. CJosnold unconscious
ly, perhaps, but none the less strikingly
posed, In tho golden glow of her boudoir
window, for the portrait of n Imlv of

him out on tho prowl like that. And
when I had wondered myself wide awake
I got up and dressed thought I'd take
a walk, too, since the night was so line.
I honestly had no .Idea of following him
that was all an accident, my butting In
the way I did."
Sudden perception of a footing upon
ground properly taboo even to angels
caused the man to flush bilck-red. His
eyes sought Sally's In honest consterna
tion. "Hope you don't mind," he mumbled.
"Please go on," she said, conscious of
the heat In her own cheeks, and holding
him in nn esteem proportionately more
poisonous.
"Well. About this morning: As I say,
I went down to the beach for a dip. You
know how that beach is about a 12
foot breadth of sand from the bottom of
tho cliff when the tide's high, with about
20 feet more when It's low. So foot
prints show until the weather rubs them
out takes a tolerable storm, as a rule.
Below high-water mark It's different; the
sand Is covered up and smoothed out
twice a day. Well, then, just below high
water mark that Is about flvo feet be
low It, or at quarter-tide mark I noticed
the print of a rowboat's bows on the
sand. It had landed there and waited a
while drawn up only part way out of
the water about 3 o'clock this morning.
Two men had got out; one waited with
tho boat, the other went up toward the
foot of the steps and mixed his footprints
up with nil tha others. I don't know what
for nnd can't Imagine; but that's what
happened, nnd presently he turned round
and went back to the boat, and tho two
of them shoved her off again trusting, I
guess, to the tide to cover up the signs
of their landing,
"Why they should want to be secret
about It, Ood only knows; but If they
didn't, why 3 o'clock? It's all private
beach along here, and whereas I believe
there are no property rights below high
water mark, and anybody has a right to
land anywhere in an emergency where
was tho emergency? There was no gale
last night, and If there had been, you'd
think distressed mariners would have
sense enough to come nshore farther
along, toward the village, where they
could find shelter and all that. The
more I think about It, the funnier It looks
to me."
He finished his breakfast nnd his state
ment nt the same time, pushed back his
chair, and produced a cigarette case.
"You don't mind? Thanks. Now what
do you think?"
Sally shook her head and looked blank.
"Three o'clock; how can you be so posi
tive about that?" she Inquired obliquely.
"Because it's high tide twice a day
approximately every 12 hours. I looked
up a tide-table in the hall out there and
found it was high at 1:11 this morning and
low at 7:35 Just about an hour turned
when I had my swim, the water-line then
about 12 feet short ot the marks ot the
boat. It'll be high again about 1:48 this
afternoon at least noon before water be
gins to wash over those marks,"
He puffed voluminously. "If there was
any shenanigan afoot last night, a couple
of thlck-heads footed it that Is, If they
cared whether they left any clues or not,"
Constrained to fill In his expectant
pause, she made shift with a "How very
morning notes on the other side and the
portable writing case on her knees.
Acknowledging Sally's appeninncc with
a pleasant, If sllghtlv abstracted, smile,
sho murmured: "Oh, I It you, Miss Slnn
warlng' Sit down, please. Half a min
ute "
On the qui vlve for any Indication that
Mrs Standlsh hnd been false to her word
or Mrs. Gosnold Informed through any
other channel of the secret history of thnt
night, and consequently inclined to hold
her secretary In distrust, Sally detected
nothing in the other's manner to add to
her uneasiness. To the contrnrs. in fact.
She sat and watched in admiration, and
thought that she had never known a
woman better poised, more serenely mis
tress of herself nnd of the technique of
life. If Mrs. Gosnold nursed a secret
sorrow, anxiety, or grievance, tho world
would never learn of It through any flaw
In the armor of her self-possession.
She wrought busily with a fountain pen
for little longer than tho stipulated period
of delay, then addressed nnd sealed a
note and looked up again with her amia
ble, shrewd smile.
"Good morning'" she laughed, quite as
If she had not till then recognized Sally's
presence. "You've slept well, I trust?"
Sally did not hesltnte perceptibly; the
honest Impulse prevailed. Secretly sho
was determined to tell nn more major
lies; though the heavens fell only such
minor fibs ns are necessary to lubtlcate
the machinery of society. She would do
her best, of course, to preserve the hate
ful truth that had been so cunningly
covered up by the lies of Mrs. Standlsh's
first Invention; but she would do that
best. If possible, more by keeping silence
than by coining and uttering fresh false
hoods. "Not so well last night," she confessed.
"I don't know what wns the matter with
me, but somehow I didn't seem even to
want to sleep."
"I know," Mrs. Gosnold nodded wisely.
"I'm not yet old enough to have forgot
ten these midsummer moonlight nights
of ours. When X was a girl nnd being
courted, from this very house, I know, I
used to wait until everybody had gone
to bed nnd creep out and wander for
hours "
Iter pause Invited confidences. And mo
mentarily Sally's heart thumped like ft
trip-hammer. Bid she, then, either know
or guess?
"t did that last nlghl," she respondedi
"but f hadn't your excuse."
"You mean, you're not being courted?
Don't be Impatient. Once lo every wom
antoo often to most. And It's as well to
take one's time these dnys. Perhaps It's
n sign of age, nnd I shouldn't own It, but
It does seem to me that the oung men
of today are nn Uncommonly godless
crew. I should be sorry to have you
make a mistake "
Bhe contented herself with that much
warning nnd no more; but Sally knew
their thoughts were one, focused upon a
singular though by no means strange ex
ample of the young men ot the present
day.
"1 think." her rmployei pursued, with
a look excusing tho transient keenness of
her scrutiny, "our Island air ngrees with
you. If you have hnd one poor night, nil
the same you're quite another girl than
the one who came here. Wns It only
four days ngo? 1 hope you're quite com
fortable?" "Oh, yes. Indeed "
"And would you care lo stay on?"
"With all my heart!"
"I see no reason why you shouldn't, t
like !.ou very well; you're quick and will
ing and sou humor my weakness for the
tespect of my nssoclates. I don't nsk for
their dependence. If ou like, we'll sny
your engagement begins today, the first
of the week "
"You are verv kind."
"I'm very selfish, t like Intelligence,
prettlness, nnd youth must have them
nt nny cost! So that's understood. Of
course, thete nie certain questions to be
settled, nrinngemcnts to be made. For ex
ample, I assume responsibility for your
losses nt bridge, because playing when 1
wish oil to Is one of your duties. But
these matters adjust themselves ns they
come up from time to time."
"Thnlik you," said Sally in a tone that,
though little more than a whisper, wns
more eloquent of her gintltude tlinn the
mere phrase could possibly have been.
"So now I shall stop cnlllng you Miss
Mnmvaiing."
"Please do "
"It's much too formal, considering I'm
old enough to be your mother "
"Oh. no." Sally protested involuntarily.
"That Isn't possible."
"I'll not see fifty-five ngnln," Mrs. Gos
nold nnnounccd. "nut that's n boudoir
secret "
"I'll nover "
"And n secret of Pollphlnelle besides."
the other laughed; "everybody I know or
caio a snap for knows It. At the snme
time, no woman cares to have her age
discussed, even If It Is public property and
she quite old enough to be beyond such
vanity. No matter; I'm going to call you
Sara. If you've no objection."
"Why not Sally?" the girl suggested
tentntlvcl. "Thnt's my name t mean,
what I'm accustomed to."
"Thank you; 1 llko It even better."
Mrs. Gosnold nlllrmed. "I'm conservative
enough to favor old-time names. My
own. for Instance, Abignll, pleases me Im
mensely, though I seldom meet a young
woman nowadays who can hear It with
out looking cither Incredulous or as
though sho doubted the sanity of my
sponsors In baptism."
She stayed the obvious reply with an
Indulgent toss of n linnd still fair.
"Now to business I've mapped out n
busy morning for ou. To begin with,
here are a dozen or so notes to deliver.
You may tnke the dog-cart no, to save
time, one of the motors. We must give
these good people as much time ns pos
sible, considering It's a spur-of-tho-mo-ment
affair. That Is why, you under
stand, there are so few Invitations be
cause I'd no time to write nnd post a
number. But each of these Is n bid to
some friend with a houseful of people
to come and bring all her guests.
"Oh!" she laughed, catching the look
of puzzlement on the glrl'B face, "I
haven't told you what It Is. "Well, my
dear, It's nn old woman's whim. Every
so often I break loose this way and keep
my memory nreen, as one who. In her
day, never entertained but In some unique
fashion. 1 was once famous tor that sort

the amusements most people offer us.
"For some time I've hnd this In 'mind,
nnd everything; prepared; you may, If you
like, rail It a spontaneous masquerade by
moonlight, tlnlf the fun of such affairs
comes of tho last-moment, makeshift
costumes; If you give people much time
to think them up It Is nlwnys a Btlff and
frigid function. Moreover, It demands a

"As I say, nil prep.uatlons had been
made, weather permitting: I had merely
to telephone the caterers, electricians, and
musicians, nnd scribble these Invitation.
I'd advle oti to nrtnnge your day to In
clude a good long nap before dinner, for
you'll he up till nil hours very likely. I
fancy I can promise otl some fun"
Mrs. Gosnold rensed upon a note of mis
chievous enjoyment In anticipation that
would hnve suited a girl of sixteen, then
annlyzed the trouble behind Sally's per
turbed countenance.
"As for your costume, ou'ro not to
give It a thought. I have arranged for It
to be brought to your room at half past
nine, nnd I pledge you my word you'll
find It becoming. I have only two requests
to make of ;iou: Hint you refrain from
unmasking or admitting your Identity
until 1 o'clock, nnd that If you recognize
me, you hold your tongue. Is It n bar
gain?" "You're so Rood to inc." said Sally
simply. "I can't think how to thank you "
"Leave that, too, to me. It's quite pos
sible I may suggest a way." Mis Gos
nold smiled curiously, ns nt n thought
reserved. "Now run along order the rnr
and put on your prettiest hat But n
moment!"
She Illustrated the process of taklns

finger. "Let me see. Have I lemembeied
everybody?" She conned, hnlf aloud, n
list of names. "But no! What nn over
sight! I should never have forgiven m
sclf or have been forgiven. And my
fountain pen needs refilling. No" ns
Sally offered to tnkon the pen "sit there

will sign It."
