chuckled. HE always did. Reported

Harry wanted to ask He wanted
and yet he hesitated, as if he did not
quite dare touch it. He laughed and
filled the glasses. He had dropped
his question, and there was no one at
the table who seemed ready to put

And yet there were questions there,
in all the eyes, but some impossible
barrier seemed to have come between
these eager people, and what, for in
calculable reasons, they so much

own timidity that withheld them from
touching this subject which at every
turn produced upon some one of the
eager three some fresh startling effect

were restless; Clara notably, even
under her calm.
Flora knew she was not giving up
the quest of Farrell Wand, but only
setting it aside with her unfailing
thrift, which saved everything. But
why, in this case? And Harry, who had
been so merry with the mystery at
dinner-why had he suddenly tried to
suppress her, to want to ignore the
whole business; why had he hesitated
over his question, and finally let it
fall? And why, above all, was Kerr

prototype of her own struggle to I'M

Often enough in the crowds she
moved among she had felt herself
lonely and not wondered at it. But
now and here, sitting among her close,

lover, it seemed like horrible obses-

it had been shown her in revelation
she saw herself absolutely alone.

CHAPTER Ill.
Encounters on Parade.


Flora, before the mirror, gay1y stab
bling in her long hat-pins, confessed to
herself that last night had been queer,
as queer as queer could be; but this
morning, luckily, was real again. Her
fancy last night had-yes, she was
afraid it really had-run away with
her. And she turned and held the
hand-mirror high, to be sure of the
line of her tilted hat, gave a touch to
the turn of her wide, close belt, firt
to the frills of her bodice.
The wind was lightly ruff1ing and
putting out the muslin curtains of the
windows, and from the garden below
came the long silvery clash of euca-
lyptus leaves. She leaned on the
high window-ledge to look downward
over red roofs, over terraced green,
over steep streets running abruptly
to the broken blue of the bay. She
tried to fancy how Kerr would look
in this morning sun. He seemed to
belong only beneath the high arti-
fetal lights, in the thicker atmosphere
of evening. Would he return again,
with renewed potency, with the same
singular, almost sinister charm, as a
wizard who works his will only by
moonlight? When she should see him
again, what, she wondered, would be
his extraordinary mood?
1t was Clara, standing at the foot of
the stairs, who belonged to the morn

she appeared. She held book in her
hand The door, open for her imme-
date departure, showed, beyond the
descent of marble steps, the landau

vehicle to put in an appearance so
early.

Flora smiled at the thought of how
many persons would be having err

chief. Harry, I believe you're out
here about the Crew Idol, tool"
He shook his head at her, smiling.
'I wouldn't talk too much about that,
Flora. 1t ficks poor Purdie on the
raw every time that" His sentence
trailed off into something else, for
Mrs. Purdie and Clara had come up.
The book had changed hands, to-
gether, evidently, with several expla-
nations, and Mrs. Purdie, with her
foot on the carriage step, was ready
to make one of these over again.
"The major'll be so sorry. He's
gone in town. It's so unusual for him
to get off at this hour, but he said he
had to catch a man AS Mrs Britton
and I were saying, he's likely to be
very busy until this dreadful affair is
Strengthened out. If you can only
wait little longer, Mr.. Cressy," she
went on, 'I am expecting him every
moment"
ooh, it's of no Importance" said
Harry, but he looked at his watch
with a fold between his brows, and
then at the car that was coming in.
well, at least, you'll have tiSne to
see the parade" said Mrs. Purdie. Il
though most of the women get tired
of it,"
Clara's face showed that she be-
longed to the latter class; but Flora,
too keenly attuned to sounds and
sights not to be swayed by outward
circumstances, was content for the
time to watch, in the cloud of dust,
the wheeling platoons and rhythmic
columns.
Yet through all-even when she was
not looking at him-she was aware of
Harry's restlessness, of his impa-
thence; and as the last company
swung barrackward, and the cloud
began to settle over the empty field,
he snapped his watchcase smartly,
and remarked, "Still no major"
'Why, there he is now!" Mrs. Pur-
die screamed, pointing across the pa
rade ground.
Flora looked Halfway down on
the adjoining side CT the PARALLEL
gram, back toward her, the redoubt-
able Kerr was standing. She recog-
nized him on the instant, as if he
were the most familiar figure in her
life. Yet she was more surprised to
see him here than she had been to see
Harry. She felt inclined to rub her
eyes, 1t took a moment for her to
realize that his companion was indeed
Maj. Purdie.
The major had recognized his wife's
signaling umbrella. Now he turned
toward it, but Kerr, with quick mo-
ton of hand toward hat, turned in the
opposite direction. In her mind Flora
was with the major who ran after
him. The two men stood for a little,
expostulating. Then both walked to-
brella.
The carriage group waited, watch
ing with tagging conversation, which
finally fell into silence. But the two
approaching strolled easily and talked.
Even in cold daylight Kerr still gave
Flora the impression that the open
was not big enough to hold him, but
she saw a difference in his mood, a
graver eye, colder mouth, and when
he finally greeted them, manner that
was brusk. It showed uncivil beside
the majors urbanity.
The major was glad, very glad, to
see them ALL He was evidently also a
little furried. He seemed to know
they had all met Kerr before. Had it

was expressed by antiquarians and
artists throughout the country at the

threatened danger had been averted.

dankly on their heads, and hung out
cobwebs pearled with dew. She was
sure, even under their drippings, that
the "damnable dust" was alive.
Down the broad slopes that were
swept by the drive all was green to
the waters edge. The long line OF
barracks, the officers quarters, the
great parade-ground, set in the fiat
land between hills and bay, looked
like child's toy, pretty and little
They heard the note of bugle, thin
and silver clear, and they could see
the tiny figures mastering; but in her
preoccupation it did not occur to
Flora that they were arriving just in
time for parade. But when the car
riage had crossed the viaduct, and
swung them past the acacias, and
around the last white curve into the
white dust of the parade ground, Clara
turned, as if with a fresh idea.
Wouldn't you like to stop and
watch it?"
"Why, yes" Flora assented. The
brilliance of light and color, the pre-
cision of movement, the sound of the
brasses under the open sky were an
intermezzo in harmony with her spir-
tied mood.
The carriage stopped under the
scanty shadow of trees that bordered
the walk to the officers quarters
Clara, book in hand, alertly rose.
'I'll just run up to the Purdies' and
leave this" she said
"Then she really did want to be rid
of me-" Flora unused, as she watched
the brisk back moving away; land
how beautifully she has done it!''
Her eyes followed Clara's little figure
retreating up the neat and narrow
board walk, to where it disappeared
in overarching depths of eucalyptus
trees. Further on, beyond the trees,
two figures, smaller than Clara's in
their greater distance, were coming
down. Flora almost grinned as she
recognized the large linen umbrella
that Mrs. Purdie invariably carried
when abroad in the reservation, and
presently the trim and bounding fig
ure of Mrs. Purdie herself, under it.
The Purdies were coming down to
parade-at least Mrs. Purdie was. But
the tall figure beside her-that was
not the major. She took up her lorgnon
1t was-no it could not be-yet surely
it was Harry! Lazy Harry, up and
out, and squirting Mrs. Purdie to the
review at half-past ten in the morn
ing! care we all mad?" Flora
thought.
The three little figures, the one go
ing up, the two coming down, touched
opposite fringes of the grove-disap-
peared within it. On which side
would they come out together? Flora
wondered. They emerged on her side
with Harry little in advance. He
came swingingly down the walk
straight toward her, and across the
road to the carriage, his hat lifted, his
hand out.
"WeI, Flora" he said, "this is
luck!"
What in the world has got you out
so early?" she rallied him.
Game out to see Purdie on bust
ness, and here you are all ready to
drive me back"
That's your reward"
He brushed his handkerchief over
his damp forehead. We'll, there's one
coming to me, for l haven't found
Purdie."
