CHAPTER XII.

The summer swooped down on New
York in the latter days of June with
a rush, as is its wont. The walls of
the new house on Riverside drive
were up to the heavy cornices, and
the roof was closed in, for Eunice had
given orders that the work was not
to be stopped nor the original plans
one whit altered.
Nearly every afternoon she and old
John would drive up there after the
heat of the day, for, having made the
seductive acquaintance of the Clare
mont, the old man developed a per-
feet mania for dining on its covered
piazza, and so there was usually re-
served for the young beauty and her
rough and rugged escort his favorite
corner-seat, whence they could see the
noble river losing itself in the haze
northward.
On one of these trips, as they drove
slowly past the new mansion, Eunice
was sure she saw, Wilfrid walking
away with hasty strides, his back
towards them.
Poor fellow!" she sighed. How
he must miss it all! What dreadful
change for him to go back to the life
he always hated SOL"
For by dint of careful inquiries she
had found out that Stennis had ap-
piled to his old firm, and was again
doing desk work drudgery from nine
to five at $18 week.
Perhaps-for who may fathom the
heart of a maid?-it was the knowl-
edge of this that kept her in town all
that summer. She often talked of 60
ing away somewhere, discussing the
merits of several places of which she
heard-the Berkshires, the Hamptons,
and even Newport-but John Trevecca
seemed very hard to move Just then.
"Bide bit, lassie," he would say
There's mort o. time ahead O. ZEE,
Who'll see ia tn iron-work round tn
new hoose II I'm away"
Eunice laughed good-humoredly
"oh, WELL" she agreed, "if you are
quite comfortable am content to stay
in town, dear. There Is plenty OF
leisure before US, as you say. We
must go somewhere this winter
though, or shall be having you or
my hands again with that dreadful
asthma. What do you say TO going tc

cold?"
