.unduly familiar with him, even In her
thoughts.
Sho could cat no tea; the long eve
ning stretched before her unlnvltlngly.
Sho felt strangely excited: sho tidied
tho room nnd snt down on Don's empty
cbuch by tho window.
What would Don think If ho knew?
sho wondered. Mr. Sturgcss would have
been a kind friend to Don, sho knew
thnt; ho would not Iinvo been ashamed
of hnvlng n orlnnlcd brother-in'lnw:
not impatient with his irritable temper
nnd sharp tongue; ho would have done
nit nc could to make the boy's bard lite
more happy.
Tcnrs welled to her eyes; oh, if only
sho could hnvo Don back again I It
seemed so hard thnt now, when riches
nnd nil tho good things of life were
lying within her reach, the one for
whom sho hnd most desired them was
no longer with hcr.v
If it hnd comrvn month sooner Don's
life might have been saved; they might
hnvo tried all the wonderful cures of
which sho had longingly heard and
read; Don might have been rondo suf
ficiently well to enjoy tho life that had
so often been only a torment to him.
Then sho thought of Tallentyre, and
the, tears dried as if by magic on her
checks.
Ho had never told her that ho was
engaged to Lady Elrica Hewing; she
remembered thnt they had spoken of
her thnt first day when ho took her out
to tea, but ho hnd never even allowed
her to guess that thcro was anything
but the most ordinary friendship bo
tween them.
And nil tho time they had been en
gaged a burning blush stung
her checks. In his heart Tallcntyro, too,
looked upon her ns Illllyard did ; sho
was outside the magic circle of tho lives
of both men: It was no business of
hers what tiicy did no interest to
them to tell her.
Slio rose and began pacing up and
down tho room ; it was a warm eve
nine, very still and breathless; the
house seemed to stillc her, and she put
on her lint and went out acain.
When she reached tho corner of the
street beyond the green railings, n taxi
camo slowly along tho road toward her ;
the man glanced nt her interrogatively ;
Jill grew reeklcss ,
Soon if she married Mr. Sturgcss
she could ride in u taxlcab all day long
if she chose. Sho hailed the driver; she
got in nnd told him to drive her to
llcgent's Park.
Dnffodils and primroses were there
in full bloom, she knew; tho gray
brcathlcRsness of the spring evening
made her think of them with sudden
longing. ,
Hlm lenned back with a senso of de
limit- Inriirv. Thern wns nobody to care
how she spent her money, so what did it
mntter If she threw away ono of her
few half-crowns on a ten minutes
iilpnsiir?
Soon ado would do ns ncn us ivatny
soon sho would bo able to show Kathy
and her husband that theirs was not
thu monopoly of tho good things of life.
A llttlo bitter laugh escaped her.
At last she would meet Tallentyre on
his own level ; ns Henry Sturgcss' wife
ho would have to treat her as he treated
all the other women of his set; it would
no longer bo u condescension for him
to take her out to tea; she would bo
able to invite hlm to her house to en
tertain his wife the thought was
n stab. Sho hit her lip as she thought
of I.ndy Elrica Hewing, her beauty, her
clothes no wonder Tallentyre wnnted
to marry her; sho was a woman of
whom such n man ns he would be proud ;
sho was n woman who would be a litting
ornament for his house.
Sho glanced down nt her own hands
in their cheup gloves; she remembered
the lirst tiny he hnd taken her out to
teu, and tho hole in her glove that had
euiibed her such ngonics; of course, ho
had been it, even though he had pre
tended not to ; of course, he hnd always
thought of her as some ono infinitely
beneath him. Tears of rago and morti
fication roso to her eyes and were
brushed angrily away. When sho was
married to Mr. Sturgcss she would show
Talluntyro what sho could bo and do:
sho would let him see that sho could
dress as well as Lady Elrica ; her eager
mind leaped ahead into n future when
ut Inst sho would have left tho harbor
of llfu for the bea, and tho winds of
thn world that blow there. Already she
seemed to feel' them stinging her face
nlready she seemed to bo drawing tne
freedom of luxury nnd riches deep, deep
intn her luncs. Henry Sturgesa was
only a menns to an end ; ho mndo u sub
stantial toundation lor tuo miiiuiiig oi
her dream castle nothing more; she
forgot that to reach that castle sho had
first to exchange ono form of bondage
for another. . . .
Poverty nnd duty had bound ana xet
terixl her nil hnr life r in the joy that
at last sho was casting her fetters aside
sho forgot that sho was about to rivet
fresh chains on her wrists.
Sho paid tho driver of the taxi gen
crouslv before she dismissed him; she
went on untl into the park.
The sun was setting boliinci tne trees ;
birds were twittering confidentially to
one nnother in their nests under tho
new green leaves j a bed of nodding daf
fodils looked like n pool of purest gold
in the sunset light.
Jill walked on. dreaming still; the ono
four lii her heart was that sllO might
wake up and find thnt nothing of all this
day's wonder mid reaiiy iinpiieucu. one
longed for tomorrow, when she could go
to the office nnd meet Mr. Sturgesj nmt
,.,.Un,. iwin.lf nil over ncnin that he
hnd really usked her to marry him, J
really nbkcd to bo allowed to mm mo
key in tho door of the world and let
her through. ,...,.
Some ono was coming along the pnth
toward her, and she glanced up with
vaguely disinterested eyes; then she
stood suddenly still, nearly choked by
her own tempestuous henrtocnts, for the
man Into whoio face she looked was
Cyrus Tallentj re.
CHAPTER XIII
neloMTl. nre th ter I "hed for thta
I.nmi tlmn whllo rosea lliruwn for ' niJMty
That ihiiH you tramplo them beneath your
feot?"
Jill's wonderful dream castle faded
away into nothingness as she looked
into Tnllcntyro's eyes ; the feverish sort
of happiness the thought of it had given
her n moment beforo was but a rush
light now in comparison with tho wild
jov that suddenly thrilled her being.
She felt ns if sho bail been walking
in u grny, sunless btreot and hud come
out with sudden unexpectedness into
biillinnt sunrfiino.
Tallentyru was holding her hand.
"I only criino back to London today.
I was on my way to sco you
How aro you?"
Jill tried to answer, but no words
would come. Sho wuntctl to cry, wanted
to cr.v desperntely, badly. She had to
blto her lip hard to control herself
sho could npt look at him.
Presently they -wcro walking on to
gether; sho did not know whether be
suggested it, or if they had just moved
by mutual consent.
She had never felt so happy in her
life, or so miserable; sho had forgot
ten nil about the future and Henry
Sturgcss sho could only think of Lndy
Elrica Hewing. She found herself
wondering if Tallentyre hnd seen her
binco his return If he had kissed her
If oh, n thousand llttlo "ifs" that
tore her heart with a thousand jcal'
ouulvs.
