He offered his arm, and they follow
ID Mrs. Presson. Who had already
started FOR the carriage He rode with
| them to the station, flushed and silent,
and the girl studied his face covertly
ana with some curiosity.
On the train In the first of their
tetsa-tete she sounded him cautious
| ", trying to discover II his feelings
toward Linton were inspired wholly
| by political differences. She seemed
| to suspect there was something more
| behind it, even at the risk of flatter-
ing herself. But she had detected
certain suggestive symptoms in the
demeanor OF Harlan at the breakfast
table that morning. He did not be
tray himself under her dcft question
ing. But he promptly grew amiable,
and before the end Of their railroad
ride that day she had proved to her
own satisfaction that her ability to in
terest young men had not been thrown
away upon him. The light in his eyes
and the Zest of his chatter with her
told their own story. He left her at
her home with a regret that he did not
hide from her.
And yet when he was at last in his
room at the hotel that night he wrote
to Glare Kavanagh the longest letter
Of all those he had written to her
since he left Fort Canibas.
1t might have been because he had
30 much to write about 1t might have
been because a strange feeling of COM
junction bothered him. But Harlan
did not have the courage to examine
his sentiments too closely. Only after
be had sealed the letter and inscribed
It - lay back In his chair awhile, and
then, having reflected that after three
weeks he would no longer be his own
man. he decided that he'd better run
up to Fort Canibas and attend to his
business interests.
And he departed hastily the next
morning in spite Of the dukes puzzled
and rather indignant protests that
business wasn't suffering beyond what
the telephone and mails could cure.
There are some men who are strong
enough to run away from weakness.
Not that Harlan Thornton admitted
that he was weak in the presence of
Madeleine Presson, but he felt a sud
den hunger for the big hills, the wide
woods, the serene silences. He wanted
to get his mental footing again. He
had been swept OF in flood Of new
experiences. Just now he found him
self in 4 state Of mind that he did not
understand.
"I'll go back and let the old woods
talk to me-" he whispered to himself
Then he tore up the letter he had writ

her SO much better.
So when he came to Fort Canibas in
the evening of the second day he
mounted his horse and rode across the

QEU he was to say to Dennis
Kavanagh. They had not parted in a
manner that invited further intimacy.
Kavanagh and his grandfather had
brutally violated an innocent friend
ship. They had put into insulting
words what neither he nor Glare had
dreamed of. He hastily assured him
self that they were not lovers. More
than ever before he now felt infinite
tenderness toward her-compa ssion,
sympathy-an overpowering impulse to
seek her. He had much to tell her.
He could not think of any one in all
the world who would listen as she
would listen. He rode on past the tall
cross Of the churchyard. A voice out
| Of the silence startled him. A white
figure stood in the shadow of the
church porch.

not ghost. I'm only Glare. I've
been waiting for you.'
He left his horse and hurried to her.

been thinking about me-"
II haven't many things to do these
days except Think she returned wist-
fully. "WeIl sit here in peace and
Quietness, and you shall tell me oil
about it"
He began his story eagerly, volubly.
Once in awhile he looked up at her,
and she gave wise little mods to show
she understood. In relating the early
episodes Of his journey be ventured to
leave out details. But she insisted that
he give them.

And he humored her whim. for he
had always understood her child's
ways. The woods had trained him to
note the details Of all he saw. His e1
pcriences had been fresh and stirring
and he told his story witt Zest.

They plainly had not expected that.
His attitude toward them, his assoc1a.

the usual "let it alone" program. They
applauded.
