Ferdy's voice was usually soft, either

Incisiveness, the tone of some ene 'who

In a sort of vigil preparing for a final

Iihe would be marble inside and ice

'te bed nt sundown. New Dcrrek lcked
up nnd went up te his own room. He
slept immediately above the stnnll company.
Helelse was charmed with her sur
roundings. It was all nualnt and smelt
sweetly of roses nnd old cleanliness and
care. The fleer was pleasantly uneven,
n tiny Arc snapped In the grate, for this
room nau reen tiamp, nnd up In the
hills after sunset, the night lind n faint.
Insinuating chill In Us suddenly rnnlr.il
sultriness.
Ferdy was a persuasive host. Ther
drank te their adventure in the cock
tails lie mixed. Helelse. tnlkpil nmlnhlv
ever their soup nnd their cutlets, their
het biscuit nhd sweet corn, their ice
cream and apple pie. They lingered
interminably ever cedec and cheese nnd
crackers. Ferdinand was an excellent
listener that evening, only he seemed 'te
be listening te the inn and te the night
as closely as te her.
I admit VOlir nerve." hp enlil. nn
she left the table te sin from Iipi- mnll
cup before the fire and the high, narrow
meniei sneu. "Haven't you ever really
heard of Felly Inn?"
He wandered nreund the tnMe. nnw
cleared, stepping for n second at the
deer before lie joined her and steed be
side her across the uneven brick hearth.
The room was almost tee warm with Its
closed shutters nnd Its lire. The mirror
told Helelse that she wns brilliantly
flushed; red nnd white and geld. She
had taken off her hat and were the
sheer block dress she had chespn for Its
graceful dignity. It made her skin a
substance of electric fairness.
Ferdinand looked nt her delicate bare
forearm resting along the mantel.
"Ne," she said, "I never heard It
mentioned."
"It was once quite a famous little
place. Seme of the rarest, choicest
Hudsen River scandals haVe been
hatched here."
"Scandals!" Her coffee-cup rattled
as she set It down. "Why, 'you said It
was the sort of place where there'd be
a Bible."
"As a matter of fact there Is one,
ever tin that table. Ue you went te
held It in your hands, Lcle?"
"Oh, no I don't feel the need of
Bible support. You've never cooed se
mildly, Ferdy." She nffectcd n deli
cate yawn. "You've been almost bor
ing for once in your life.''
Ills Expression Changed
"My wife tells me that for a large
strong man, I'm fnirly ineffectual." He
was still looking down et the arm and
Lele wns aware of the unchanged direc
tion of his leek nnd the slowly changing
expression of his fnce, from which a
curtain like the curtain of a stage was
lifting gradually.
"She does say rather nasty things
te you, doesn't she? Peer Ferdy !"
"Yes. After you didn't come back
te the garden, I went home in a bad
humor. It was d d rude of you,
Lele, te leave me there, nnd I had an
unholy row with Lucy. She told me she
was at least mere successful in her
affairs than I seemed te be in mine.
She told me thnt you were making me
leek like a great feel and act like
one."
"Dees she consider me one of your
affairs, Ferdinand?"
Lele examined her fingers te be cer
tain that they were entirely steady and
net cold.
"Don't you?"
"Ne."
"Just no like that?"
"Just no like that!"
"I saw you en Saturday round the
corner of that hedge. Yeu came back
and looked me ever and went away and
left me te sit there nnd cool my heels,
didn't you? Yen thought me the kind
of puppy-deg thnt puts up with that
sort of kicking didn't you?"
Heloise had a swift nnd revealing
memory. "Seems like she entertains
the notion that a man is n safe little
pet animal like some kind of n lnpdeg.
I'm net a quarter se safe. Seme day
that lady is agein' te get the lessen of
her life If she don't quit temptin' me "
It wasn't possible, perhaps that she,
Heleihc (Jrinscoenibe, had, in Q's ter
ribly candid phrnrfp, been "tempting"
Ferdy for the begullciueiit of her bitter,
disappointed tedium? Was it a danger
ous game? Could It be that a man
was really net, when it came te the
finnl development, n snfe plaj thing?
Was this sipping at passion the proper
medicine for the restless craving of an
unsatisfied desire? Ferity's physical
strength, the het lntcmpvrance of his
bleed, his obvious desire for her, had
been a stimulant, a distrnctfen. Per
hnps she mine te the decision sud
denly nnd completely she had better
go home.
"It's been charming, Ferdy,'' she
smiled mid moved around the table
languidly.
"You're net going home yet?" he
asked politely, standing, however, still
where lie was.
"W-well, It must bp very late. Wp
ate like epicures nnd I've talked my
head off. Aunt Sclda will be getting
very nervous about me."
He laughed shortly and inexplicably
aH she reached the deer.
"I can't open it," she said.
"Queer!"
"See if you can, Ferdy."
Up tried obligingly nml failed.
"There's something the matter with
the catch."
"Urn-hum."
"Call the waiter.''
"Oh. he gees bnck te his own wife
and family after hours.
"The proprietor, men.
"He's ln bed. I heard him turn In
about nn hour age. He's snoring sound
asleep by new."
"Well, then, break open the deer."
"Net en your life," said Ferdy
roughly, and then she turned and looked
him ever carefully.
"Yeu are going." he said heavily, "te
be punlbhed se eu'll never forget-it."
Heloise crimsoned.
"Punished? Fer what, please?"
"Fer making feel of me, denr."
"If you are a feel, Ferdinand, It wns
never of my making. '
"Are you afraid of me? ' he asked.
He seemed te be swelling before her
eyes. He looked very handsome, rather
pale, ills e('s thunderous and bright.
"Net In the least. I nm amused."
"(loed ! Then come back and sit
down before the fire. I want te talk
te you."
, "Certainly."
She did sit down nnd stretched out
her slenderly slippered feet te tha smnll
glow. She rested her calm hands en the
painted wooden arms of her chair and
looked, if)t at Ferdinand, but down at
the fire. Yeu must never show these
fierce pets thnt you are afraid of them.
If Aunt Selda had known her where
abouts, she would have been telephoning
by nnw. Ferdinand sat down, tee, and
folded his hnnds together.
"Yeu see, Helelse, I knew you didn't
really love uip a let. Yeu did find me
rather well exciting, didn't jeu?"
"Sometimes. I nlwajs thought you
were a geed sort : that Is, I always
knew you were, Ferdy." In spite of
herself u little note of pleading had
crept Inte her cool, young, steady
voice.
"Oh, I nm a geed sort, all right.
And a geed sport. What did jeu think
I wns after?"
"Yeu were after?"
"Yes. I don't waste my time, gen
erally speaking."
"I thought thnt was the main busi
ness of your life, Ferdy1. Honestly I
did." . (
