little jagged, but Eve did not appear
to notice. Unlike Greening, she took
the new manner without surprise. She
had known Chilcote for six years.

she said. "Mr. Fraide sent you a mes

Unconsciously Loder smiled. There
was humOr in the thought of a mes

hide his amusement he wheeled one Of
the big lounge chairs forward.
"Indeed," he said. wont you sit
DOWN."
They were near together now, and
he saw her face more fully. Again he
was taken aback. Chilcote had spoken
of her as successful and intelligent
but never as beautiful. Yet her beauty
was a rare and uncommon fact. Her
hair was black-not glossy black, but
the dusky black that is softer than any
brown-her eyes were large and of
peculiarly pure blue, and her eyelashes
were black, beautifully curved and of
remarkable thickness.

cutting short his thoughts with some
confusion.
''Thank YOU" She gravely accepted
the profered chair. But he saw that
without any ostentation she drew her
skirts aside as she passed him. The
action displeased him unaccountably.
"Well," he said shortly, what had
Fraide to say?" He walked to the
mantelpiece with his customary move
ment and stood watching her. The in
stinct toward hiding his face had left
him. Her instant and uninterested &C.
ceptance Of him almost nettled him.
His own half contemptuous impression
Of Chilcote came to him unpleasantly
and with it the first desire to assert his
own individuality. Stung by the con-
ficting emotions, he felt in Chilcote's
pockets for something to smoke.
Eve saw and interpreted the action.

her, and as it passed from one to the
other he saw her glance at his rings.
The glance was momentary. Her lips
parted to express question or surprise,
then closed again without comment.
More than any spoken words the Incl
dent showed him the gulf that sepa-
rated husband and wife.

"Well," he said again, what about
Fraide?'
At his words she sat straighter and
looked at him more directly, as if brac-
ing herself to task.
"Mr. Fraide isis as interested as
ever in you," she began.
"Or in your Loder made the inter-
ruption precisely as he felt Chilcote
would have made it. Then instantly he
wished the words back.
Ewes warm skin colored more deep

showed in her eyes, then she sank
back into corner of the chair.
"Why do you make such point of
sneering at my friends?' she asked
quietly. Il overlook it when you are

word. "But you are not nervous to-

Loder, to his great humiliation, red

charwoman, he had not merited a wo-

said.
For the first time Eve showed a per-

puzzled way. IF your apology was

open he laid it quietly across her arm.

repeated.
Again she glanced at him as if sus-

despise your opportunities, and sup

said. '"That's the way with men and

faint smile she passed out into the cor

Loder waited until he heard the outer
door close, then he crossed the room
thoughtfully and dropped into the
chair she had vacated. He sat for
time looking at the hand her fingers
had touched. Then he lifted his head
