next Sunday and We can talk 1t over
thoroughly then and reach some sort
of a conclusion. Out in the hills is
the place where you can talk some
thing besides business. I guess you've
seen enough of me to know I'm pretty

der. and the hand that rested on the
desk blotter was visibly trembling.
He strove to pull himself together.

ever In my life before. Ill can't
explain myself. but | do, that's all.
VIII you-Just next Sunday? To
morrow"
Nor did he dream that her low &C
quiescence was due. as much as any
thing else. to the beads of sweat on
his forehead. his trembling hand and
his all too-evident general distress
"Of course, there's no way of tell
ing what anybody wants from what
they say" Daylight rubbed Bob's re-
bellious ear with his quirt and pom
dered with dissatisfaction the words
he had just uttered. They did not
say what he had meant them to say.
What I'm driving at is that you say

CHAPTER XIV.

Life at the office went on much the
way ii had always gone.
In spite of their high resolve, there
was a very measurable degree of the
furtive in their meetings. In essence.
these meetings were stolen. They did
not ride out brazenly together in the
face of the world. On the contrary.
they met always unobserved. she rid
ing across the many gated backroad
from Berkeley to meet him halfway.
Nor did they ride on any save unfre-
quented roads, preferring to cross the
second range of hills and travel among
a church going farmer folk who would
scarcely have recognized even Day
light from his newspaper photographs.
He found Dede a good horsewoman-
good not merely in riding. but in en-
durance. There were days when they
covered sixty. seventy. and even
eighty miles: nor did Dede ever claim
any day too long. nor-another strong
recommendation to Daylight-did the

His lifelong fear of woman had ORG

any understanding Dede on horsn-
back. Dede gathering peoples on \
summer hillside. Dede taking down
dictation In her swift shorthand
strokes-all this was comprehensive
to him. But he did not know the
Dede who so quickly changed from
mood to mood. the Dede who refused
steadfastly to ride with him and then
suddenly consented. the Dede in
whose eyes the golden glow foreTer

hints and messages that were DOT for
his ears. In all such things he saw
