CHAPTER X.
An Interval,


1t was on the second day after his
arrival in New York that Stanton
called upon Jessica Floyd. This time
he went more confidently up the stairs
of the quiet apartment house, sure of
his right
AS before, the little old Irishwoman
clad in black silk was waiting to ad-
init him; as before, he could have
cried out in the wonder of seeing this
girl who turned Floyd's candid face
to him and smiled with Floyd's gray
eyes. Only, this afternoon Jessicia
did not rise from the piano seat to
greet him, but from a chair near q
window
"Jes is away again." she regretted,
giving him her hand
Il came to see you, by his permits
sion" Stanton returned.
The rich color flushed under her
marvellous skin, that was like no other
woman's he had ever SEEN Floyd diff
fered there, man from girl, his COM
p!exion being much darker and less
translucent.
1T is too early to give you tea and
cake" she told him. with playfulness
partly shy. "But If you will talk to
sae for half an hour. it will be after

CHAPTER lX-(Continued).

"Jessica has the right to a chance"
with things beyond my understandin'
An I'd rather have her your wife than
have anything else in the world. Only
you've seen her just once-you can't
tell if you want her, yet"
Stanton shot him one straight, ex-
pressive glance.
"She is like you," slipped from him
involuntarily; then, furious at his be-
trayal of sentiment, he dropped the
others hand. 1--WE had better go, or
We'll miss the train," he bruskly re-
minded.
ooh, she is like me-" confirmed
Floyd he turned to look again at the
factory 1--WE are pretty close chums.
Yes, you an had better be gettin' to
the train"
They walked back to the nearest
trolley line, both silent.
The subject was not touched again,
until the following morning, when they
left the train in New York.
when shall see you?" Stanton
questioned, as they exchanged fare
wells in the noisy depot. "To-mor-
row."
I'm going to be out Of town for the
next two weeks, Mr. Green tells me-"
Floyd replied They want me at the
Mercury factory, and there are some
other trips, too, 1 believe. Jessica is
going to be rather deserted; If you
happen to look her up, no doubt she
would be glad to speak to some one
besides her nurse"
THANK you," accepted Stanton, as
carelessly. Take care of yourself"
He had not reached the exit when
Floyd overlook him.
Here are the entries for the Cup
race" he painted, thrusting folded
newspaper into Stanton's hand. There
are two ATLANTA cars to run against
US. It's you who need to take care
of yourself, until afterward."
Floyd, wait! What do you mean?
do you really think
But his mechanician evaded the
question.
'Some people are hoodoos," he
laughed. Keep away from them,
please. GooG-5y."
He had not spoken Valerie Carlisle's
name, yet Stanton knew against whom
he warned. And the melodramatic
absurdity of the idea did not prevent
al odd thrill of discomfort and inse-
curity, from which he took his usual
refuge in roughness.
I'm not in the habit of hiding from
people, hoodoos or not. Good-by."
ooh, very Well" acquiesced Floyd
oddly But if you won't take care of
yourself, Stanton"
well what?"
Never mind"

asked them for nothing. What per-
sonal trinkets belonged to me, l sold,
for the first needs; then set to work.
My father had wished me to be a
mechanical engineer, and meant to
fulfil his plan. Perfect health did
have-for six years regularly worked
twenty hours out of each twenty-four,
until was graduated from college.
For six years was always tired, oc-
casionally hungry, and took just one
recreation: every night | walked
through the avenue where my former
home stood, and looked at it. saw
the people who had robbed me go
handsomely clad and sleek, l saw
their carriages and servants pass and
repass. l watched, and l concluded
that there was just one thing in life
worth while
