CHAPTER vi.

Margaret took Van Torp with her
to the performance the next day, after
impressng upon him that he was not
to speak, not to whisper, not to ap-
|plaud, not to make any sound, from
the moment he entered the theater
till he left it for the dinner interval.
He was far too happy with her to
question anything she said, and
obeyed her most scrupulously. TWEEN
ty-four hours earlier she would have
laughed at the idea that his presence
beside her at such time could be not
only bearable, but sympathetic, yet
that seemed natural now The diva
and the ex-cowboy, the accomplished
musician and the Californian miner,
the sensitive, gifted, capricious wom-
an and the iron-jawed money-wolf had
found that they had something in
common. Wagner's last music affected
them in the same way.
Such things are not to be explained,
and could not be believed if they did
not happen again and again before
the eyes of those who know how to
see, which is quite different thing
from merely seeing. Margarets sud
den liking for the man she had once
80 thoroughly disliked had begun
when he had whistled to her. 1t grew
while he sat beside her in the dark
ened theater. She was absorbed by
the music, the action, and the scene,
and at this second hearing she could
follow the noble poem itself; but she
was subconscious of what her neigh
= Dor felt He was not so motionless
merely because she had told him that
he must sit still; he was not so in
tent on what he heard and saw, mere

self and that was approximately

itself and that was approximately
true
I'm sorry you have told me all
this. We might have spent these next
two days very pleasantly together.
Oh, I'm not pretending what / don't
feel! It's impossible for woman
like me, who can still be free, not to
be fattered when such man as you
cares for her in earnest, and says
the things you have. But, on the 9TH
er hand, I'm engaged to be married to
another man, and 1t would not be
loyal of me to let you make love to
me-"
Il don't mean to-" said Van Torp
stoutly. 1T won't be necessary. If /
never spoke again you wouldn't for
get what I've told you-ever! Why
should | say it again? l don't want
to, until you can say as much to me.
If it's time to go, hitch the lead to my
collar and take me home! I'll follow
you as quietly as spaniel any
where!"
"And what would happen If ! told
you not to follow me, but to go home
and lie down in your kennel?" She
laughed low as she moved away from
the gate.
I'm not sure" answered Van Torp.
Don't"
The last word was not spoken at
all with an accent of warning, but 1t
was not said in begging tone either.
Margaret's short laugh followed in
stantly.
you said just now that you would
not say over again any of those
things you have told me tonight. Do
you mean that?"
Eyes, mean il"
"Then please promise that you
won't. That's all 1 ask if you are go
ing to spend the next two days here,
and if am to let you see me-"
81 PROMISE" Van Torp answered,
without hesitation.
She allowed herself the Illusion that
she had both done the right thing
and also taken the position of COM
mand; and he, standing beside her,
allowed himself to smile at the fulfill
ty of what she was requiring of him
with so much earnestness, for little
as he knew of women's ways he was
more than sure that the words he
had spoken that night would come
back to her again and again; and more
than that he could not hope at pres
ent. But she could not see his face
clearly.
Thank you," she said. THAT shall
be our compact"
To his surprise, she held out her
hand. He took it with wonderful calm
ness, considering what the touch
meant to him, and he returned dis
creetly what was meant for friendly
pressure. She was so well satisfied
now that she did not think it neces-
sary to telegraph to Logotheti that
he might start at once, though even
if she had done so Immediately he
could hardly have reached Bayreuth
till the afternoon of the next day but
one, when the last performance of
"Parsifal" would be already going on;
and she herself intended to leave on
the morning after that.

curiosity. The spell was upon him
| he was entranced, and Margaret
knew it.
Even when they left the theater AND
drove back to the hotel, he was silent
and she was the first to speak. Mar
garet hated the noise and confusion
of the restaurant near the Festival
theater.
you have enjoyed it," she said
I'm glad l brought you"
I've felt something 1 don't under
stand" Van Torp answered gravely.
She liked the reply for its simplici
ty. She had perhaps expected that
he would summon up his most pic
turesque language to tell her how
much pleasure the music had given
him, or that he would perhaps laugh
at himself for having been moved ;
but instead, he only told her that he
did not understand what he had felt
and they walked on without another
word.
said when they reached the hotel,
"and I'll meet you here in half an
hour. 1 don't care to talk either"
He only nodded, and lifted his hat
as she went up the steps; but instead
of going to eat, he sat down on a
bench outside, and waited for her
there, rejecting on the nature of his
new experience.
Like most successful men, he looked
on all theories as trash, good enough
be taken into consideration in real
life. He never asked about the prin-
ciple on which any invention was
founded; his first and only question
was: will it work."
Considering himself as the raw ma
terial and the theater he had just
left as the mill, he was forced to ad-
nit that "Parsifal" worked"
Presently Margaret came out of the
hotel, expecting to find him waiting
for her within the hall, and prepared
to be annoyed with him for taking so
long over a meal. She stood on the
step and looked about, and saw him
sitting on the bench at little dis
lance. He raised his eyes as she came
towards him and then rose quickly.
SIS it time?" he asked.
yes, "she said. did you get any
thing decent to eat?"
YES" he answered vaguely. "That
is, now / think of it, l forgot about
dinner. 1t doesn't matter"
She looked at his hard face curious
ly and saw a dead blank, the blank
that had sometimes frightened her by
its possibilities, when the eyes alone
came suddenly to life.
won't you go in and get biscuit,
or sandwich" she asked after a
moment.
ooh, no, thanks. I'm used to skip
ping meals when I'm interested in
things. Let's go, if you're ready"
Il believe you are one of natures,
Wagnerites," Margaret said, as they
drove up the hill again, and she
smiled at the idea.
WELL" he answered slowly,
