Ardsley BIT his lip to keep from ut
tering the words of forgiveness he
fain would beg but he felt IL his duty
to give Cynthia an idea Of how her
recently acquired notions affected her
friends. 1t was hard hut he had de-
terrnined to do H. He heItaxas he
understood women and he felt this IN
be his duty plainly laid down
After that there was little sais he
tween them and when hs. left her ~ har
/ fathers gate II was with a diatnnt
curt word of farewell from her as ebe
FASTENED up the rose path and disan-
peared from view
That night he thought ONLY OF Gym :
thia and the more he review ed his own
attitude and recalled HIS own arc,,sa-
lions the more he hated himself What
right had he to sit thus in Judgment
Of her? He had been brutally fran,e-
cruel overland she had tried al nrst
to take him In Jest He had accns@o
her OF being not only t,nwornanlv hut
/ hypocritical,
The next day he met Cyntbia'a bro
Their at the club at lunch. The two
men had always been friends bat,
took the seat opposite Ardsley at the
| small table, the latter felt strangely
III at ease. How could he look into
the eyes of a man whose sister he
had treated so badly?
Luncheon was well under way when
Danvers looked up at Ardslev.
Rem. old man, you've always been
q friend Of the family haven't von %.
Ardsley nodded q pans " shsr.
darting through his whole being .pf
course he said.
We're pretty proud. Won know Rem
as a family, but sometimes think itrs
false pride and-wei, Cynthia is sur
fering from 1t ALL
Il "CynthiAf" repeated ArGsiey, In n
low tone. How SOL
The pater as you we'll know, mar
ried woman we did not care for
not that any woman living could have
taken the place OF our own mother
out Sis and | decided that, for Dads
sake, wed make the best of IL, Anr-
