together in this grand order. Some

get back; our strength has been greatly
increased by the new order of things,

CHAPTER XIV.
Picking Un the Pieces.

The calamity at the Courtlands'
struck on all their acquaintance like a
nip of icy wind, sending q shudder
through them, making them, as it were,
huddle closer about them the protecting
vesture of any hope or any happiness
that they had. The outrage on the
child stood out horrible in the light Of
the mothers death: the death of the
mother found an appalling explanation
in the child's plight. Whether the
death were by a whiting or an unwit-
ting act seemed a small matter; dark
ness and blindness had fallen on the
unhappy woman before the last hours.
and somehow in the darkness she had
passed away. There was not lacking
the last high touch of tragedy; the
catastrophe which shocked and awed
was welcome too. 1t was the best
thing that could have happened. Any
end was better than no end. To such
point of hopelessness had matters
come, in such a fashion Harriet Court
land had used her life. The men and
women who had known her, her kin

mentality and self-delusion trivial
to vulgarity, which he had carried
away from his encounter with Walter
Blake. To all this there seemed one
clue; through it all one thread ran.
he felt this in the recesses of his mind,
and his fingers groped after the guild
ing line. That must be found, lest,
treading blindly through the labyrinth,
he and his too should fall into the pit
whence there WAS no upward way.
They had been half over the brink
once; preternatural effort-so it
might properly be called-had pulled
them back; but they were still on the
treacherous incline.
Out of his somber and puzzled re-
fiections there sprang-suddenly as it
seemed, and in answer to his cry for
guidance-an enlightening pity-pity
for his boy, lest he also should bear
on his brow the scar of hatred, almost
as plain to see as the visible mark
which was to- stamp little Sophy's fer
eVermore-and pity for Sibylla, because
her empty heart had opened to so poor
a tenant; in very hunger she had turn
ed to Blake. He no longer rejected the
hope Of communion with the immature
infantile mind of his son; he ceased to
laugh scornfully at a love dedicated
to such a man as Waiter Blake. A
new sympathy with his boy-even such
as he had felt for Tom Courtland's lit
tie girls-spurred him to fresh efforts
to understand. Contempt for his wife's
impulsive affections gave way to COM
passion as his mind dwelt not on what
she had done, but on what had driven
her to do it-as he threw back his
thoughts from the unworthy satisfac-
ton her heart had sought to the straits
of starvation which had made any sat

look, in the end, at himself, and to the
task of studying himself he was now
thrust back. If he could not do that,
and do ii to purpose, desolation and
pitiableness such as he had witnessed
and shuddered at stood designated as
the unalterable future of his own home.
Then, at last he was Impatient; his
slow persevering campaign was too
irksome, and success delayed seemed
to spell failure. The time comes when
no man can work. The darkness might
fall on his task still unperformed. He
became afraid and therefore impatient
He could not wait for Sibylla to come
to him. He must meet her-in some
thing more than civility, in something
more than a formal concession of her
demands, more than an acquiescence
which had been not untouched by irony
and by the wish to put her in the
wrong. He must forget his claims and
think OF his needs. His needs came
home to him now; his claims could
wait. And as his needs cried out there
dawned in him a glow of anticipation.
What would IT not mean If the needs
could be satisfied?
He stayed in London for Harriet
Courtland's funeral and in the evening
went down to Milldean. sharper edge

him at the station and was his COM

deeply, toe, but touched her to bitter
ness-if indeed her outward bearing
could be taken as a true index Of her
mind. She bore herself aggressively
toward fate and it's lessons; an in
creased acidity of manner condemned
the follies of her friends; she dropped
no tears over their punishment. Still
there was very likely something else
beneath; she had not heard from John
since she came down to Milldean.
How have you been getting on?
Grantley asked as he took the reins
and settled himself beside her.
We've done excellently since you
went away. OF course, we've been upset
about this horrible business. but"
Otherwise you've done very well?"
he smiled.
"Oh, yes, veryl"
"Since 1 went away?"
Yes, since you went away" Christine
repeated
Perhaps it's not very good thing
for me TO come back?"

The concession was grudging. Grant

brought her eyes sharply round to his
face.

Yes, Sibylla, too. as merry as pos

Grantley laughed again. Christine
