TAKE "THE VALLEY^—EN AND NEW YORK GEORGE AQNE^SfeERLAIN CQPYXZTOJfT J3Y THE CEN7VJ3Y" CO. SYNOPSIS Their eyes met.

CHAPTER T1 —Captain Wayne tells Alan of the failing of the Waynes. Clem drinks Alan's health on his birthday. CHAPTER J!1 —Judge Healey buys' a picture for Alix Lansing. The judge defends Alan in his, business with his employers. CHAPTER IV—Alan and Alix meet at sea. homeward bound, and start a flirtation, which becomes serious. CHAPTER V—At home. Xapce Ster ling asks Alan to go away from Alix. Alix is taken to task by Gerry, her husband, for her conduct with Alan and defies him. CHAPTER Vl—-Gerry, as he thinks, sees Alix and Alan eloping, drops e* —"thing, and goes to Pernambuco. CHAPTEP. ViJ—Alix leaves Alan on the train and goes home to tlnd that Ger ry has disappeared. Individualists were rare and unwel come. Boys stonfed Chinamen because they were different; they followed a turbaned Asiatic, strayed to an un friendly shore, with jeers: an astound ed Briton, faultlessly dressed, found his spats the sensation of a street. Each of these incidents Gerry had wit nessed with amusement and dismissed without a thought. Now they became so many weather-vanes all pointing the same way. How was it Alan had summed up the history of America? "Men, machinery, machines!" With the thought of Alan his brow puckered. Here he felt no impulse to Indulgence. Some day he would meet Alan and when be did he would break him. The scorn he had expressed to Alix for Alan and Alan's nature was ■without understanding hut it was gen uine. He knew there were such men and he ascribed all their acts to a de basement beyond regeneration and none to temperament. From moral laxity there was no appeal beyond the sin Itself. The landfall of Pernauibuco> awoke him from reveries and introspection. He did not look upon this palm-strewn coast as a land of new beginnings—lie sought merely a Lethean shore. The ship crawled in from an oily sea to the long strip of harbor behind the reef. Above, the sun blazed from a bowl of unbroken blue; on land, the multicolored houses spread like a rainbow under a dark cloud of brown tiled roofs. Giant plane trees cast hlotg of shade on the cobbled esplanade of the boat quay. In their shelter a negress squatted behind her basin of cous-cous and another before a tray of fried flsh. Around them lounged a ragged crew, boatmen, stevedores and riffraff, black, brown and white. Beyond the trees was a line of high stuccoed houses, each painted a dif ferent color, all weather-stained, and some with rusted balconies that threat ened to topple on to the passer-by. One bore the legend, "Hotel d 'Europe." There Gerry installed himself. Between the hour of writing her note to Alan and the moment when she stepped on the train Alix had had no time to think. She was still driven by the Impulse of anger that Gerry's words had aroused. She did not reflect that the wound was only to her pride. Alan held open the door of the draw ing room. She passed In and he closed it AUx threw back her veil and looked at him. With a quick stride for ward he caught her to him and kissed her mouth until she gasped for breath. With a flnsh she remembered his own words, "If I ever kiss you I shali bring your soul out between your lips." To Alix' amazement she did not feel an answering fire. The kiss had Drought her soul out between her lips. Her soul stood naked before her and one's naked soul is an ugly thing. The kiss disrobed her, too. and from that last bourne of shame Alix suddenly re volted. Qasplng, she oushed Alan from her. hers were frightened. She moved slow- | 1 ly backward to the door and with her j hand behind her opened the latch, j Alan did uot move. He knew that if I he could not hold ber with his eyes he | could not hold her at all. The train j started. Alix passed through the door ] and rushed to the platform. The por ter was about to drop the trap on the | steps. Alix slipped by him. With all her force she pushed open the door j and jumped. The train was moving very slowly but Alix reeled and would have fallen had it not been for a pass- 1 ing baggageman. He caught her and, still in his arms, Alix looked back. | Alan's white face wits at the window. | He looked steadily at her. "Ye almost wint with him. Miss." said the baggageman, with a full brogue and a twinkling eye. "How did you know?" said Alir, dazed. At the strange question the baggage man's longer upper lip drew down to gravity. "Where d'ye think I was whin ye stipt off the thrain into me arms?" he asked solemnly. "That's right." said AUx as she fol lowed his lend to a cab. She got in and then shook hands with her escort. He looked at the dollar bill ber grasp left behind. "That wasn't called for, Miss. It was enough for me to have saved ye from a fall." "You didn't save me," said Alix with a bewildering smile. "I saved my self." She left him scratching his head over this fresh enigma. Alix was tired and hungry when she got back home but excitement kept her up. She felt that she stood on the threshold of new effort and a new life, j After all. she thought, it was r-.he that had made her dear old Gerry into a time-server. She could have made him i into anything else if she had tried. ! She longed to tell him so. Perhaps he ; would catch her and crush her in his arms as Alan had done. She laughed at herself for wauling him to. She rang for the butler. "Where's your master, John?" "I don't know, ma'am. Mr. Gerry basn't come back since he went out this morning." To John, .Mr. Lansing was a person who had been dead for some time. His present overlords were Mr. and Mrs. Gerry and Mrs. Lansing "when she was in town. "Telephone to the club and if he is ( there tell him I want to see him," 1 said Alix and turned to her welcome tea. The sandwiches seemed unusual ly small to her ravenous appetite. Gerry was not at the club. Alix • dressed rcsplcndently for dinner. : Never had she dressed for any other man with the care that she dressed for Gerry that night. But Gerry did not come. At half-past nine Alix or dered the table cleared. "I'll not dine j tonight," she said to John. "When your master comes, show him in here." She sat on in the library listening for Gerry's step in the hall. From time to time John came into the room to replenish the tire. On one of these occasions A!ix told him he might go to bed but an hour later he returned and stood in the door. Alix looked very small, curled up in a great leathern chair by the Are. "It's after one o'clock, ma'am," said ! John. "Mr. Gei;ry won't be coming in tonight." Alix made no answer. John held his ground. "It's time for you to go to bed, ma'am. Shall I call the maid?" It was a long time since John had taken any apparent interest in his mis tress. Alix had avoided him. She had felt that the old servant disap proved of her. More than once she had thought of discharging him but I he had never given her grounds that would justify her before Gerry. Now ] he was ordering her to bed and in stead of being angry she was soothed. | She wondered how she could ever have thought of discharging him. He seemed strong and restful, more like part of the old house than a servant. Alix got up. "No. don't call the maid. 1 ! won't need her." she said. Then she : i I HERE THEY ARE!

John held wide the door and bowed with a deference that was a touch more sincere than usual. He answered, "Good-night," as if he meant it. All* was exhausted but it was long before she fell asleep. She cried soft ly. She wanted to be comforted. She had dressed so beautifully—she had been so beautiful—and Gerry had not come home. As she cried, her disap pointment grew into a great trouble. She awoke early from a feverish sleep. Immediately a sense of weight assailed her. She rang and learned that Gerry had not yet comtj home. Then his words of yesterday suddenly came to her. "If I dropped out of the world today—" Alix stared wide eyed at the ceiling. Why had she re membered those words? She lay for a long time thinking. Her breakfast was brought to her but she did not touch tt. It was almost noon in the cloudy Sunday morning when she roused herself from apathy. She sprang from the ;>ed. She summoned Judge Healey with a note and Mrs. Lansing with a telegram. The tele gram was carefully worded, "Please come and stay for a while. Gerry is away." The judge found Alix radiating the freshness of a beautiful woman care fnl of her person, but it was the fresh ness of a pale flower. Alix was grave and her gravity had a sweetness tTlat made the judge's heart bound. He felt an awakening in her that he had long watched for. She told him all the story of the day before in a steady monotone that omitted nothing and gave the facts only their own weight. When she finished the judge patted her band. "You would make a splen- did -witness, my dear," he said. "Now, i what you want is for me to find Gerry ' and bring him back, Isn't it? Are you sure Gerry knew nothing of your—er ! —excursion to the station?" All* shook her head. "From the time he left my room and the house he has not been back." "Has he been to the club?" Alix colored faintly. "I see," satd j the Judge quickly. "I'll ask there. ! I'll go now." He went off and all that day he sought in vain for a trace of Gerr.v. He went to all his haunts In the city—he had telephoned to those outside. At night he returned to Allx but It was Mrs. Lansing that received I him in the library. The judge was tired and hia buoy ancy had deserted him. He told her of his failure. Mrs. Lansing was thoughtful but not greatly troubled. "Gerry," she said, "has a level head. He can take care of himself." She went to tell Allx that there was no news. When she came back the judge turned to her. "Well," he asked, "what did she say?" "Nothing, except that she wanted to lenow if you had tried the bank." The judge struck his fist into his left hand. "Never thought of it," he said. "That child has a head!" He went to the telephone. From the presi dent of the bank he traced the man ager, from the manager, the cashier. Yes, Gerry had been at the bank on Saturday. The cashier remembered it because Mr. Lansing had drawn a cer tain account in full. He would not say how much, liu IJO continued.)
