For the first time Clara smiled. 1t
crept out upon her face. as 1t were
involuntarily, but she sat there smil-
ing in contemplation for quite ten
seconds. At last. You want me to
suppress my information? My dear
Flora. don't you think you want me
to do more than is honest?"
''Honest!" Flora cried. The words
sounded hideous to her on Clara's
tongue; and yet what right had she,
she thought with shame. to Judge Of
Clara's honesty when she herself was
leagued with a thief? Clara" she
said humbly. before this upholder Of
the right, II can't pretend I'm not
suppressing things. I've only asked
you to see me before you do anything
more. Now. you've come. Will you
tell me one thing-did you bring the
picture with you?"
Clara weighed 1t. well. II did"
This was the considering Clara. and

She let the word fall into the 81

Clara might detect its sneer. But

frowned.

a bird-like lifting Of the head she gave
a sidelong interrogative glance.
Flora, for a moment, steadily re-
turned the look. 1t was coming over
her what Clara meant; a meaning so
simple 1t was absurd she had not
thought Of 1t before-so hateful that
1t was all she could do to face 1t. She
felt tightness in her throat that was
not tears. Shame and anger commended
in her. Oh, for the power to have re.
fused that shameful bargain-to have
scorned It! She turned away. She
closed her eyes. In her mind she
saw the figure Of Kerr moving quietly
about the winding walks with Mrs.

wrapped in filmy bit Of paper.
Out Of the chaos of her feeling rose
the solitary thought-the picture
which she had bought that morning,
the picture Of Farrell Wand. She
watched it drawing near her with
wonder. She sat up trembling. She
had great longing and horror to
tear away the filmy paper and see
Kerr at last brutally revealed. She
could not have told afterward whether
Clara spoke to her She was con-
scious of her pausing; conscious Of
the faint rustic of her skirt passing:
conscious. finally, that the small
swathed square was In her hand.
She tore the tissue paper through.
She held photograph, mounted ko-

passionate earnestness. She did not
