"No-yes-' hesitated Mrs. Peyton !:

Very we'll, leave his character in your
hands; only don't prejudice her into
romantic fancy for him." And Judge Pey-
ton lounged siniiingly away.
Then two little tears forced themselves
from Mrs. Peyton's eyes. Again she saw
that prospect of uninterrupted companion
ship with Susy upon which each success
sive year she had built SO many maternal
hopes and condolences fade away be-
fore her. She dreaded the COM
ing of Susy's old friend, who
shared her daughters present thoughts
and intimacy, although she had herself
invited her in a more desperate dread OF
the child's distracted, disconnected eyes
she dreaded the advent of the boy who
shared Susy's early life before she knew
her; she dreaded the ordeal of breaking
the news and perhaps seeing the pretty
animation spring into her eyes, which she
had begun to believe no solicltude or ten
derness of her own ever again awakened
and yet she dreaded still more that her
husband should see it, too. For the love
of this recreated woman, although not en-
tirely materialized with her changed fibre,
had nevertheless become a coarser selfish
ness, fostered by her ionliness and limited
experience. The maternal yearnlng left
unsatisiied by the loss of her tirst-born had
never been filled by Susy's thoughtless &C
ceptance of it; she had been led astray by
the chIld's easy transference of depend
ence and the forgetfulness of youth, and
was only now dimiy conscious of finding
herself face to face with an alien nature.
She started to her feet and followed the
direction that Susy. had taken. For a
moment she had to front the afternoon
trade wind, which chilled her as it swept
the plain beyond the gateway, but was
stopped by the adobe wall above whose
shelter the stunted tree tops slanted as II
trimmed by gigantic shears-through
years of exposure At first, looking down
the venerable alley of fantastic, knotted
shapes she saw no trace of Susy. Blu,
half way down the CLEAN of white skirt
against thicket of dark olives showed
her the young gill sitting on bench in q
neglected arbor. In the midst of this for
mai and faded pageantry she looked
charmingly fresh, youthful and pretty
and yet the unfortunate woman thought
that her attitude and expression at thai

moment suggested more than her fifteen
years of girlhood. Her golden hair still
hung unfettered over her straight boylike
back and shoulders; her short skirts still
showed her childish feet and ankles; yet
there seemed to be some underlined matur-
lty or vague womanllness about her that
stung Mrs. Peyton's heart The child
was growing away from her. too!

The young girl raised her head quickly;
her deep violet eyes seemed also to leap

mechanical, secretive movement, that

the leaves of her book. Yet the next mo-

at her mother, she Withdrew the paper
quietly. tore it up into small pieces and
threw them on the ground.
But Mrs. Peyton was too preoccupied
with her news to notice the circumstance.
and too nervous in her haste to be taste
full. "Susy, your father has invited that
boy, Clarence Brant-you know that
creature We picked up and assisted on the
plains, when you were mere baby-to
come down here and make us a visit"
Her heart seemed to stop beating as she
gazed breathlessly at the girl. But Susy's
face, unchanged except for the alert ques-
tioning eyes, remained fixed for a moment;
then childish smile of wonder opened
her small red mouth, expanded it slightly
as she said simply:
"Lor, Mar! He hasn't really"
Inexpressibly, yet unreasonably freas-
sured. Mrs. Peyton hurriedly recounted
her husbands story of Clarence's fortune
and was even joytully surprised into some
fairness of statement. But you don't re-
member him much-do You. dear2 1t was

The open mouth was still fixed: the
