CHAPTER VI.
Black Ma qic.

The memory of Clara's incredulous
glance remained with her as some
thing curious, and she was not unpre-
pared to be challenged when, the next
morning, she hurried down the hall,
drawing on her gloves. Clara's door
did open, but the lady herself, yawn-
ing lightly on the threshold, had this
time no questions for her. 'Romem-
Der the luncheon" she advised, "and
by the way, Ella wants us to sit in
their box tonight. Don't forget to tell

Flora threw back gay "All right
but she was in danger Of forgetting
even the object of their errand, once
she and Harry were out in the bright
glare of the street. The wind, keen
and resinous from the wet Presidio
woods, blew at their back down the
short block of pavement, and buffeted
them broadsde as they waited on the
corner for the slow-crawling little car.

she fastened, half afraid lest Harry
should change his mind, ito see If we
can possibly find one that will be diff

She kept this little feeling of explo-
ration close about her, as they left the

the plaza, and entered one of the mar
row streets, that was not even q cross

Flora a start, peered at them from
across the street. 1t made her shrink
little behind Harry's broad shoulder
and take hold of his arm. The mere
touch of that arm was security. His
big presence, moving agilely beside
her, seemed to fill the street with its
strength, as If, by merely flinging out
his arms, Samson-like, he could burst
the dark walls asunder.

On Guard.

On Guard.
He had so disturbed her, his pres
ence had so obliterated other pres
ences and annihilated time, that 1t took
an encounter with Clara to remind her
Of her arrangement for the evening.
The dance? No, she had given that up.
She had promised Harry to be at
home. Clara wanted to know rather
austerely what she intended to do
about the dinner. This was dreadful!
Flora had forgotten it completely.
Nothing to be done but go, and leave
message for Harry-apology and
assurance that she would be home
early. She wondered if she were los
ing her memory.
She appeared to be changing alto
gether, for the dinner-a merry one
bored her. What she wanted was
to get away from 1t as soon as pos
sible for that interesting evening.
When she had made the appointment
with Harry she had been excited by
the thought that he might tell her

about Kerr-whether Harry had real

ly, why did not Harry want her to
mention that embassy ball?
Primed with these questions, she
left Immediately after coffee, arriving
at her own red stone portal at ten.
But coming in, all a-flutter with the
idea of having kept him waiting when
she had so much to ask, she found her

spaces before she heard the fine snarl
of the electric bell.
She restrained an impulse to dart
into the hall, and stood impatient in
the middle of the room.
He came in hastily. his lips all

side the doorway, still wrapped in
her cloak. But there was none of the
impetus of arrested motion in her at

might have waited not to interrupt
them.

away half an hour ago. But it is SO

Flora couldn't tell whether he was

it was the latter.

Flowers by the Way.

TiOWCTo tlC way
Flora liked this funny little dining
room with walls as frail as boX-boards,
low-celed and flooded with sun. 1t
recalled surroundings she had known
later than the mining camp, but long
before the great red house. 1t seemed
to her that she fitted here better than
the Purdies. She looked across at
Kerr, sitting opposite to see If per-
haps he fitted too But he was for
eign, decidedly. He kept about him
still the hint of delicate masquerade
that she had noticed the night before.
Out of doors, alone with her, he had
lost it. For a moment he had been
absolutely off his guard.
She rose from the table with the
feeling that in an hour all three Of
them had become quite old friends Of
his, though without knowing anything
further about him.
I'VE must do this again." Mrs. Pur-
die said, as they parted from her in
the garden.
Surely we WILL" Kerr answered
her.
But Flora had the feeling that they
never, never would For him it had
been chance touching on a strange
shore.
But at least they were going away
together. They would walk together
as far as the little car, whose terminal
was the edge of the parade-ground.
But just outside of the gate he
stopped.

He waved with his cane. There is

that he had suggested the longer way.
The narrow path that they had
chosen branched out upon the main
path, broad and yellow, which dipped
downward into the hollow. From there
came the murmur of water. Green
showed through the white grass of
last summer. Sauntering between
plantations of young eucalyptus, they
came to the arched stone bridge. They

AS soon as silence feel between
them she saw that wave of preoccupa
tion which had submerged him during
their walk from the parade-ground tc
the Purdies' rising over him again
and floating him away from her. He
no longer even looked at her. His
eyes were on the grt md, and 1t was
not until they had crossed the open
expanse of the shallow valley and
were climbing toward the avenue OF
cypress that she found courage to put
her question.
Have you and Mr.. Cressy met be-
fore?"
He raised his head with jerk and
looked at her moment In astonish'
ment.
"Do you mind II answer your ques'

other?" he said presently. What

have met before?"

her inquiringly, as if he expected her
to help him.
"Oh, Harry's been in England" she
said quickly; and then, with a fash
ing thought, came to her the one
scene Harry had mentioned In his
English experience. Was 1t at ball?
The question came to her lips, but
she checked 1t there. She remembered
how Harry had stopped her the night
before with nod, with look, from
mentioning that very thing.
so you're not going to tell me?"
Kerr remarked, and she came back
to sudden consciousness Of how her
face must have reflected her thought.
"No-not this time!" she said, smil-
ing, though somewhat flushed
He knitted his brows at her. They
had reached the arched gate, and the
car that would carry her home was
approaching.
"Ah, then, am afraid 1t will be
never" he said.
Was 1t possible this was their last
meeting? Did he mean he was going
away? The question formed in her
mind, but there was no time for words.
He had stopped the car with flick
of his agile cane, and handed her in
as If he had handed her into a car
riage; and not word as to whether
they would see each other again,
though she hoped and hesitated to the
last moment.
