He grieved for Lucy, but he knew that the parting was net for long, and,thnt from what ever high place she looked down she reuld knew that. He was satlofied. He looked en bis work and found it geed. There was no trace et wcaaness or ei vacillation In the man who sat across from his at the table, or slammed in and but of the house after his old fnshlen. But he was net content. At first It was enough te have Dick there, te step in the doorway of his room and see lilin Within, occupied with the prosaic buM Iicbs of gctttoarihte his clothes or out it them, new and then te put a band bn bis shoulder, te bear him fussing in the laboratory again, and te be cal':d te" exnmine divers and sundry smears le which Dick attached lmnresslve im- Iiertance and mere impressive names, lut behind Dick's surface chccrfulncrs ie knew that he was eating his heirt And there was nothing te be done.

And he l.ud done another thing secretly, loe; he did net tell Dick when her ring tame back. Annie hud brought the box Without n letter, and the lucredib'c crue'ty of the thing made David furious. II stumped into his effic: and locked t- in a drawer, with the definite inten tlen of saving TDick that one addltlennl pnng ut n tlnte when he already had tneugh te bear. Fer things were going very badly. Die fight was en. It was a battle without action. Each tide was dug in and entrenched, an'1 Waiting. It was an engagement whe-e Hie principal? met occasionally en tin neutral ground of the streets, bowed te tach ether and passed en. The town was sorry for David and ntlll fend of him, but It resented hl Htlff-necked attitude. It said, in ef fect, that when he ceased te make Dlck'e enemies his it was willing te be friends. But It said bImi, te each eth. itnd behind its hands, that Dick's ab sence was discreditable or it would b? explained, and that he had behaved nbemlnably te Elizabeth. It would be. hanged if it would be friends with him. It looked away, but It watched. Dick fcnew that when h.e passed by en the streets It peered at him from behind lt. curtains, and whispered behind his back. New and then he saw. en his evening walks, the line of cars drawn up before houses' he had known and fre quented which indicated a party, but he was never asked. He never told David. It wns only when the taboo touched David that Dick was resentful, and then he was Inclined te question the wisdom of his return. It hurt him. for instance, te see Dnvid give up his church, and reading morning prayer alone at home en Sunday mornings, and te see his grim Mlcnce when some of Lis old Mends were mentioned Yet en the surface things were much as they hud been. David rose early, and as he Improved In health, read hi mernins pnper In his office while he waited for breakfast. Dr. Reynolds had gene, and the desk In Dick's efBce wns back where It belonged. In the morn ings Mike oiled the car in the stable nnd washed It. his old pipe clutched In his teeth, while from the kitchen came the rounds of pans nnd dlnhes, and the odor of frying sausages. And Dick t-plushcd in the shower, und shaved by the mir ror with the cracked g'ass In the bath room. But be did net sing. The house was very quiet. New and then the front deer opened, and a patient came In, but there was no longer the ciewded waiting room, the Inces sant jangle of the telephone, the odor tf pungent drugs and antiseptics. When. Hhertly before Christinas, Dick locked at the books containing .the last luaiter's accounts, he began te wonder hew long they could fight their leiug battle. He did net mind for himself, but it wad unthlnfceule that David eueuld de without, one by one, the small luxuries of bis old age, bis cigars, his loet: and new crraudless rauib.es behind Nettie. He began then te think of his prop erty, Lis for thu dainiinj;, nnd te ques tion whether he had net bought his peace ut tee greut a cost te David. He knew by that time that It was net fear, but pride, which had sent him back (Apty -handed, the pride of mak ing A own way. And new and then, tee Ae felt a perfectly human desire teit Ilassett publish the story ns his vdlcatlen and then snatch David awaj Irem them all, te some luxurious haven where that was the point at which he always stepped where David could Pine away In homesickness for them! , There was an irony in it that made nim laugh hepe'essly. He occupied himself then with ways an" means, and sold the car. Reynolds, ubent te be married and busily furnish ing a city office, bought It, bad it re painted a bright blue, and signified te the world at large that he was at the iles-lter house every nkht by leaving it at the curb, Hemetlraes, en long country tramps, Dick saw it outside a larmheuse, and knew that the boycott was net limited te the tetfn.

But Mike refused te be dls Later en, but mere gently, he In troduced the subject of Elizabeth. "Yeu can't get away fre.u uiU, Mrs. Wheeler. 8e long as she stands off, and you behind her, the town is going te take her aide. Bhe doesn't knew it, but that's hew It stands. It all bangs en her.

"I'll talk te Mr. Wheeler. I don't knew. I'll say this. Mr. Bassett. 1 won't make her unhappy. Bhe has borne a great deal, and sometimes I think her life Is spel'ed. She la very different." "If she is Buffering, isn't It possible she cares for him?" But Margaret did net think se. She was very calm. Bhe was se calm that sometimes it was alarming. "He gave her a ring, and the ether day I found it, tossed into a drawer full of odds and ends. I haven't seen it lately; she may bave sent it back."

Alike said netning and went out, but the next morning he was scrub bing the sidewu k as usual,, and after that they gave it up. New and then Dick and Elizabeth met en the street, and she bowed te him and went en. At these times it seemed incredible that ence he bad held Iter in his arms, and that she had looked up at him with loving, faithful eyes. He suffered se from lue.-se occasional meet ings that he took te watching for her, se as te avoid her. Sometimes he wished she would marry Wallace' quiealy, se he would be obliged te accept what he new knew he hud net accepted at all. He had occasional spells of violent anger at her, and of resentment, bm they died when he checked up. one nfter another, the inevitable series of events that had led te the catastrophe. But it was all nonsense te say that love never died. She had loved him, and there was never anything se dead as that love of hers. He had been saved one thing, how ever ; he had never seen her with Wallle Snyre. Then one day In the country while he trudged afoot te make one of his rare professional visits, they went past together in Wnllie's bright road ster. The sheer shock of it sent bin) against a fence, staring after them with an anger that shook him. Late in November 'Elizabeth went away for a visit, und It gee-hlni a breathing spell. But the strain wns tell ing en him, and Bassett, stepping en nis way 10 eiuncr at me wneeiers , tei him se bluntly. "Yeu leek pretty rotten," he said. "It s no time te co te nie es no , uiie you've put up your fight and wen It." "I'm all riaht. I haven't been sleep ing. That's all." "Hew about the business? People coming te their senses?" "Net very fast," Dick admitted. "Of course It's a little seen." After dinner at the Wheelers', when Walter Wheeler had gene te a vestry meeting, Bassett delivered himself te Manraret of n highly Indignant harangue en the situation in general. "That's hew 1 see It," he finished. "He's done a fine thing. A finer thing by a damned sight than I'd 'de, or any of this town. He's given up enough nmney te pay the national debt or nearly. If he'd come back with it na Judsen Clark, they weu'dn't have cared a hang ter the past. They'd have licked his beets. It makes me sick." He turned en her. "Yeu tee. I think. Mrs. Wheeler. I'm net attacking you en that score; it's numan nature, nut it's the truth.". "Perhaps, I don't knew." "They'll drive him te delnir it v. He came back te make a place for him telf again, like a man.

She hadn't been se keen about It, at nrst, but Leslie wns like a madman. He was se pleased that he, was ordering her thnt snb'e cape she had wanted be. He wjas like a different man.
