Hirt te a sneer gown ei iruj duusic.
: ,Tbi room was closely haded from the

A pouring steadily through the enetlnn
iihtdes, It was almost cool. The old
dean heavy chintz curtains, looped
sack, were lavender In tint, as were the
draperies of the enormous four-posted
' bed. the covering of the lounge, and
tie cushions of the stiff mahogany chair.
The rugs were purplish blue. In the
Urge 'mirrors, of which there were
Mreral In the room, this dim grny-
' iurple space with its tall occupant made
fianr mysterious, ghostly reflections.
UiS'Selda, with her dark-gray hair,
it ateny-gray face, and her mist-
gray dress, seemea rar less beiiu man
tie huge bureaus and wardrobes, She
nam about as a flith swims dimly In a
grotto among large rocks.
Having completed her toilet, she pat
down before the smaller of the two
bureaus and fastened a bracelet en her
narrow wrist. The torteUe-shell clock
that matched her brushes nnd boxes nnil
trays signaled te her with Hlender hands
that it was five o'clock. She was tired.
The enrly part of the afternoon had
been (pent at a directors' meeting down
at the Mills, where Miss Helrta had
been hard put te it in the defense of
Dr. Sales. The pretests ngalnst his
mismanagement of the Mills Hospital
kid, it seemed, suddenly taken upon
tkenuelves a new and startling life nnd
vigor. They had bad weight and per
ilttency. Net since the lawyer huu had
earned in his defense Severn! years
before bad se effectively cleared the
phjtlcJan had there been any such
soariieeus attack against him. Shu
vu new told of proven mistakes, negli
pace that could net be duplicated nor
overlooked. The workmen had sent In
a formal demand for his removal, for a
thorough investigation of hOHpitnl con
ditions. Such a removal would be, for
anything she might de, a death-blew te
Me practice in Sluypenkill. Ne in
fluence the Grinscoembery might bring
U bear could save Dr. Sales, once his
.Ignorance nnd indolence had, been ad
mitted by the directors nnd the beard.
Ufa Selda had said what she dared in
Sales' defense, net tee much, net
enough, probably, te prevent unpleas

a forceful letter te Mr. Grnhnm. She
malt, of course, de something. The
eld lash of her necessity stung her
ffmd spirit dully. She looked up from
Ike fastening of her bracelet nnd met
the mirror her own staring gray
ejej. That secret timidity of theirs re
tltd itself, nnd her heart missed Its
but.
"It's the face of a cewnrd," Miss
Bewa made comment, and wondered for
.minute if, after thirty-nine long
years of going softly, it might net be

household is at strong as ever, isn't It?"
-.i I.'l!epe, J0". fihe ,,rew UP her
velvet-banded neck and William smiled
his easiest smlle.
"Selda, I don't Ilka Q. And I want
te warn you that I can't countenance
his association with Helelse."
Very faintly her grayncss dyed Itself.
Yeu can t countenance?" she said,
each syllnble a stepping-stone across a
very slough of deep disgust.
"Quite toy I can't and I won't. The
young man must be put quite where he
belongs, which Is emphatically net In
the position ,of a favored; aulter of
Helelse. (What de you knew about
him, Selda ?'
"Knew 'about Q? But why should
anything be known about such a per
son?" Sales nodded ever his Angers, new
sliding about his chin.
"I see. Yeu simply let him by be
cause you think he doesn't sufficiently
matter Is that it? But, Selda, I want
te tcW you that In justice te your dig
nity, you can't allow him the freedom
of your heuse. He la making a laughing-stock
of the Maner all Sluypenkill
is amused by this Ignorant young ad
venturer, who is trying te seduce a
hotel waitress and at the same time
trying te win Miss Helelse Grins Grins Grins
coembo for his wife."
"What are you saying, Wllllnm?,f
"The trutlc I hnve kept an eye en
Q. T. Klnwydden think of his name I
and an ear open concerning him, tee.
He Is neither a very safe nor a very nice
young man. Take my word for It,
Selda. He is playing fast and loose
with any woman silly enough te be
romantic ever n handsome cowboy. I
don't want Helelse nnd you te become
a laughing-stock well, mere than
that ; It Isn't' safe te go about with
him. She hns encouraged his conceit.
When the time comes, as of course
it's bound te come, for her te admin
ister n snubbing, she'll get a shock.
That sort of experience with n man
who is net a gentleman, whose women
hnve been the girls of dancing-halls

"Whn,t de you want me te de, Wil
liam?" Her voice was like a trembling
blade. "Of course I don't accept a
word of this!"
"Call him in here and send him te
the right-about. He has given Helelse
one fright some people met her driv
ing with him, and they tell me she
looked like an angry ghost."
"But, William, you expect me te act
upon an opinion which is emphatically
net my own. Yeu don't knew the con
fidence I have felt In him, the the "
"I don't want te knew anything
except just that I am going te get my
way in this matter. , Yeu may net be
able te support my interests .nt the
hospital, ( but I de feel, at leaM, thai
here, where I nm working only for
your Interests, I de deserve the con cen
slderatiqn of being believed nud yielded
te. Heloise is being talked about as
Q's alternative plensure with n town
waitress, nnd he Is quite cnpable of
boasting in the comer saloon at such
exploits." s
"Yeu say 'call him ln'7"
"He's in your garden at present
with Heloise. Can't 'he be sent for?
Fadden is there, tee."
Miss Selda's hands pressed each
ether. "Fcrdlnnnd Fadden?"
The doctor's bright, determined little
eyes pricked her. Ne, he had never
spoken his threat; but new his hand
slipped, as though in absent-mindedness,
into pockets, nnd brought out n
flat, thin pocket-book. He poked his
Angers here and there as though in
stinctively they sought for old faded
papers. He returned It te his coat as
Miss Seldn, gruy-whlte, walked ever te
a bell.
"Please tell Mr. Klnwydden, Ilebert,
that I want te see him in the drawing
room.' You'll And him in the garden."
She hcstltated. "And tell Miss Helelse
I want te see her, tee; thnt she will
have te excuse herself from Mr. Fndden.
And new, Wlllinm, since you dictate
this necessity, what am I te say?"
I'm Net Sure I don't Leve Him"
'All, I suppose I can partly leave
that te you, Selda. I am net disturbing
mjsclf en thnt account."
"Yeu hnve brought no definite nccu-
Mitiens. I have received this young
man. He hns alwnys conducted him
self quite beautifully. I like him."
She smiled curiously. "I'm net sure
that I don't love him."
"What nonsense, Selda! Yeu arc
te forbid blm the beuse and Helelse!"
"Suppose she defies me."
"She will hardly de that."
'Come, William, you must really
give me some plausible excuse for being
brutnl te a guest:"
"Tell htm that, as a dutiful guardian,
rnti have Investigated him, and don't
like the results."
"In ether words, I nm te insult him
with a lie."
"Yeu were ii biting for help " he
protested sullenly.
"I believe I can de better with
out It."
They were silent. Miss Selda's face
uhnrncned into its rcsemblance te n
guillotined aristocrat. Presently Heloise
came in, toiiewea uy vj. jiirs sema,
gripping the arms of her chair, looked
up at them both with blank sturlng
f.v..R Rhi lmd net the suard en waver
ing nnd self-betrayal, but she could net
command her bleed, which hnd left her
set mouth. Dr. Hales pinyeu wttb Ills
watch-chnln, moved te the window,
hummed softly.
"Q." said Miss selda steadily, as
one recites a lessen, "I nm sorry te be
driven te a most uncomfortable neces
sity." She paused. Heloise, who had
dropped Inte a chair, stirred quickly,
glancing, nt 14. lie steed wtenj miss
Scldn. gently nnd shyly, n color In his
cheeks. His face didn't chnnge, but he
looked slowly across the room at JJr.
Sales' back, then slowly again at Miss
Seldn, nnd his eyes hardened.
"Yeu re ngeln' te tell me tlint you
Iiiim' hcerd something against me."
"Ne," she said, "I have heard
nothing ngalnst you. , It is only that,
after n great deal of difficult thinking,
I have get some ndvlce, and I hnve
come te u conclusion. It might, after
all, be easier for us both, if Helelse
Went out " 1
At this Helelse rose quickly. "I'll
go bark te Ferdy," she said, and
passed out of the room, yltchlike and
swift. Q looked after her,, then back
at MIbs Selda. NJw they wcre both
pale.
"Did you call in doc because you
thought mebbe what you was ngeln'
te hand te me would be tee much for

"Dr. Sules Is my adviser," she
answered quickly nnd proudly.
She hnd new, helped by his scoring,
