"It's like we used to have at school, nnd I'm hungry." Sho looked up at him with dariclng oyrs : sho had quite forgotten her sorrow of tho morning.

' Christine said shn could see face In tlio red coals; sho pointed them out to Kettering. He had to stoop forward to see what sue indicated; icr a moment meir ncaaa were very cioso together; it was uiiris tlno who drew back sharply, "Oughtn't wo to be solng homo?" she asked with sudden nervousness. She roso to her feet nnd went over to tho window ; tho sunshlno had gone, and tho country road was gray and shadowy, Kettering's big car stood at tha curb. After a moment ho followed her to th window; he was a little pale, his oyes seemed to avoid lier.i. "1 am qulto ready when you arc, ' ho said Sho was fastening her ell ovdr her hnt ; hr fingers shook a llttlo es she tied tho bow. Kettering had gone to pay for the tea; sho stood looking after him with dawn ing apprehension In her oyes. He was a fine. enough man; thero wan something nbout him that cavo one such a feeling of safety Of security. Shu could not Imagine that ho would ever de liberately set'himnelf to hurt a woman. as ab Jimmy had. She went out to the car ond Mood waiting for him. 'All that tea for one nnd threepence'." ho said, laughing, when he joined her. "Wonderful. Isn't It?" Sho lauehed. too Sho cot In hcsldo bin; nnd tucked tho rug round her wnrmiy. "How Itng will It tnko to get home?" shn naked Sho fceomed all at once con sclous of the growing dusk, conscious. too, .or anxiety to get nacic to uiaciys.

Chrlstlno began to feel sleepy. Ket. terlng did not talk much, nnd tho fresh (-veiling olr otr her face was soothing and plensnnt. She closed her eyes. rrcently when Kettering spoke to he.' he. got no answer: ho turned a little In hlx sent nnd looked down nt her, but her head wai drooping forward nnu no couia not see her face. "Chrlstlnr." He spoko her name sharp ly, then suddenly ho smiled; she was nslep. . He moved so that her head rested against his arm; ho slowed tho cat down a little. , , Kettering was not a young man. his fortieth birthday had been soveral yeara a thing of tho past, but all his life af terward he looked back on that drive home to Upton Housq as the happiest hour he had ever known, with Christines llttlo head resting on hlB arm and the gray twilight all about them. When they were half a mlla from home he roused her gently. Sho sat up with a start, rubbing Bleepy eyes. ...... "Oh! where are we?" He laid 'his hand on hers for a moment. "You've been asleep. Wo're nearly home." Ho turned In at the drive of Upton House. Ho lot her got out of tho car unassisted: Gladys was at the door; her cyea were anxious. "I thought you must have had nn accident." she said. Shp caught .Chris tine's hand. "You'ro fearfully late." "Wc had tea at Heston,-' Christine said. She ran Into the house. ' Kettering looked at the elder girl. "You would not come," he said. "Don't you caro for motoring?" "No." Sho camo down tho steps and stood beside him. "Mr. Kettcrlnr, may I say something?" Ho looked faintly surprised. "May you ! Why. of course !" "You will bo angrvr-vou will be very angry, I am afrnlil?1 she said. "But but I can't help.lt." "Angry!" What do you mean?" There was a moment's silence, then: "Well," said Kettering; rather curtly. She flushed, but her eyes did not fall. "Mr. Kettering. If you are a gentle man, nnd I know you nre, you will nev er come here again," sho cald urgently. A little wave of crimson surged un der Kettering's brown skin, but his eyes did not fall; there was a short silence, then ho laughed rather mirth lessly. "And If I am not the gentleman you so very kindly seem to bellee me," he said constrainedly. Gladys Lelghton came a little closer to him : sho laid her hand on his nrm. "You don't mean that; you'ie only saying it uecauso oecausa lane broke off with an Impatient gesture. "Oh !" sho said, exasperated!)', "what's tho use ot loving a person If you do not want them to bo happy it you cannot sacrifice a llttlo for them?" Kettering looked at her curiously. Its had never taken much notice of her be fore ; he had thought her a very ordinary typo; he was struck by (he, sudden en crgv and passion In her voice. "She Is not happy now, at all events," he said grimly. Ho turned away, and fidgeted with the wheel of the car. "Sho could not very well be more un happy than sho Is now," he said again bitterly. "Sho would be more unhappy If she knew sho had done something to be ashamed ot something sho had got to hide." He raised his oyes. "Are you holding a brief for Challoner?" ho asked. Sho frowned a little. "You know I am not ; I never thought ho was good enough for her. Even'yeaxs ago as a boy he was utterly selfish ; but but Chrlstlno loved him then ; sho thought there was nobody In all the world like him; she adored him." Ho winced. "And now," he asked shortly. Sho did not nnswer for a moment ; sho stood looking away from him. "Thero was a letter this morning," she said tonelessly. "Jimmy Is III, and they asked her to go to him." "Well?" "Sho would not go. She told me she was going to Heston with you Instead." Tho silence fell ngaln. Kettering's eyes were shining; there was a sort of shamed triumph about his big person. Gladys turnod to him Impatiently.' ."Are you looking glad? Oh, I think I should, kill you If I saw you looking glad!" she said quickly. "I only told you that so that you might see how much sho 1b under your Influence al ready: bo that you can save her from herself. she's so little and weak and now that she Is unhappy, It's Just the time when die might do some thing sho would he sorry for all her life when she might ' , ' "What arc you two, talking about?" Christine demanded from the doorway. She came down the steps and stood be tween them; sho looked at Kettering. "I thought you had gone," she said, aur prlaed. "No! I MIfs I.elshtnn nnd T i.v fbfen discussing the higher ethlca," he ia uryiy, no neia nis nana to Gladys "Well, gopd-by," ho said: there was a little emphasis on tho last word. She just touched his Angers. "Good-by." She put her arm around Christine; there was something defen elo In her whole attitude. Kettering got Into the car: he did not look at Chrlstlno ngaln. He started the engine; presently no was driving slowly away. , , "Have you two been auarrellnr?" Christine nsked. There was a touch of exauon in ner -voice; ner eyea were straining tnrougn tne darkness toward the gate. Gladys laughed "Quarreling! Why AVAf. nhnllM T Villfirr,.! .nll Hf. Y.... tng? I've hardly spoken half a doien words to him In all my life." "You seemed to have a great deal to say to htm, all the same," Chrlatlne pro tested rather shortly. They went back to tho house together. It was during dinner that night that Gladys deliberately led the conversation round to Jimmy again. They had nearly flnlahed the unpre trntlous little meal: It "had pasaed al most Bllently, Christine looked pale and preoccupied. Gladys was worried and anxloua.
