she still cares for me-"
She has told you that?"
De Land smiled and shrugged
his shoulders; but he made no
answer.
Garriott now had risen and
was eying his guest curiously,
an ominous glitter in the shad-
ow of his heavy brows.
Perhaps you're right, De
Land. We never could under
stand each other. You belong
to a different breed of men
from anything I've ever been
used to. You've got plenty of
nerve. It's a pity you don't
apply it to a more useful pur-
pose than the pursuit of mis-
mated wives. I'm not going to

Garriott leaned against the

soberly at the floor. De Land

examining it in silence.

He stretched himself at full
length and frowned in futile
fashion at his boots. There
seemed no further necessity to
disguise the fact that he had
fallen in love with his wife. He
could not for his life have told
why it was he loved her. He
had had an old fashioned idea
that the course of love was like
the juncture of two meandering
meadow streams which, follow
ing natural conformations, come
together at last and 60 onward
to the sea without a ripple to
mark their confluence. His
relations with his wife filled
none of these conditions; but
that made no difference in his
state of mind. He loved her
for thousand things.-her =
rogance and temper. her grace.
beauty. and the very extrava-
gances he had been trained 10
distrust. He could not forget
the touch of her lips, the silky
softness of her dainty draperies.
They haunted him by day in
the dusty blue haze of his work
shop. and by night in the silence
of his lonely quarters in town.
In spirit she visited him there,
always angry, proud, and tyran-
nical.
He could understand now
why Oliver Judson had loved
to provoke her to rage. There
was a splendor in the red flash
of her anger only half suggested
in the petulance of her sulky
beauty. The periods of gentle
ness in which he had known her.
brief as they were, had served
only to bring her possibilities
for passion into higher relief.
She hated him cordially, ard
had so far missed no opportu-
nifty to make him aware of it.
Was all this a part of Oliver
Judson's plan? 1t seemed that
the shadow of the old man hung
over their fates, and Garriott
could almost summon into life
his sardonic grin as he watched
the slow development of the
drama. Garriott had never been
a sentimental young man.
There had been no time in his
Flooding, workaday life for TO-
nance. The only poetry he had
known was the epics of steam
and speed and the steel shod
wheel. The greatest things in
the world to him were the cru
chile and the forge. They
seemed the complete expression
of the dynamic possibilities of
mans intelligence. Success was
his god, and there had been no
goddesses. Work was his orly
passion, and it alarmed him
to realize that this strange new
idol had brought something
