After all. 1t was better this way. She would ex- plain to him quietly, dispassionately, | her point of view. and ;ie would have to accept the inevitable, and leave her at l Sbamokiu, or one of the stations be- | tween homo and Kingston. She tried to answSr him impersonally and calmly.
 why did you come after me? How did you known
 T knew because heard you when | you left the house. And I came after you. well, because I considered I had | a right to come after you. You had agreed to marry me, you know, at 10:30, | and 1t looked very much as though | you intended changing your mind. A man might be pardoned certain de- gree of curiosity under the circum- 1 stances

You | are not opportune or considerate in | your reversed decisions, Fay. She felt rather than saw the amuse- ment in his gray eyes, and suddenly NelPs written words flashed across her. Doesn't he make you feel as If you were a very young, nice little girl perched up on a pedestal. while he looked at you through opera glasses and the small lenses at that" 'T know that you are laughing at l me-" she said quickly. You simply can't understand why did 1t. why, all | at once, it was impossible for me to l marry you. The mere fact that l had | reversed my decision, as you put 1t, | should be sufficient reason why there could be no wedding, don't you seer" Granger watched aer. his strong, clean -shaven face settling into deeper, harder lines about the mouth and chin. and his eye never wavered from their scrutiny of the young, emotional girl face opposite him.
