CHAPTER XXXVI.

1t was understood between Mr.. and
Mrs. Parsons that the young people
should be left to themselves directly
after dinner, and if the host had not
forgotten this arrangement, Mrs. Par
sons withdrawal would have been a
masterful social maneuver. AS it
was, she returned to the dining room,
rescued Kennard from an impending
all-night discussion over the cigars,
and surrendered the guests to her
daughter with commendable tact and
skill. Carroll was an able lieutenant,
whose talent for dividing a dinner
company into the proper groups was
only second to her mothers genius for
gathering the right people together,
ana the large rambling country house
gave her powers full play. Indeed SO
well did she manage that though Mr.
John Kennard and Miss Leslie Harlan
continued to avoid each other after
dinner with the same persistence they
had displayed all the evening, it was
not long before they found themselves
deserted in the library.
The clock on the mantlepiece empha-
sized the stiffness. Every swing Of
its pendulum seemed to shake the
room. 1t was impossible to think
against the incessant, insistent vibra-
tons! Tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tick!
1t was maddening. People used to
maintain that thinking was an impos-
sibility at the factory. He had always
regarded them as supersensitive. They
would have his sympathy hereafter
If only he could manage to stop
that noise! He slowly raised his hand
and CROPPED cautiously for the restless
pendulum.
But Leslie, seated in the low arm
chair, took no notice of his movement
She was wondering what she could
say to this man or what he could say
to her. By this time he must know
every detail of her fathers actions.
McMannis' public disclosures had been
prevented, Mr.. Harlan had told her.
but what seal could be effective for
those venomed lips? What had John
kennard been told? Probably that she
had aided in her fathers schemes and
been a party to all his secret pur-
poses. A decoy!-that was the term
McMannis had employed. There could
be no softening of the shameful cpl
tibet and all it implied. 1t meant more
than trickery, it was worse than
treachery--it was mocking, humiiat-
ing treachery which touched self-re-
spect and left it exposed and quiver-
ing. There could be no atonement for
its degradation, no contempt complete
enough for its instrument. But sup
pose McMannis had gone further and
hinted that the decoy had been caught
at her own game! Suppose he had sup
piled romantic" explanations for her
attitude in regard to the company's af.
fairs? That would add the final touch
to her humiliation.
Many time during the past weeks
the rush of these thoughts had mon
