was now--that later might be too late.
He left the boy with bowed head
still resting on wide-fung arms. He
left his boy to his fate-and Kitty May.
Kitty stood alone in the middle of
the room, slowly tearing her handker-
chief to pieces. She looked weak-des
by her own success.
Suddenly a muffled sob from Kenneth
penetrated her consciousness. She
turned her eyes to the boy. They were
inscrutable pools OF cobalt blue no
sunlight no ripple marked their smooth
surface. Suddenly they darkened-and
u little forked tongue of hatred lifted
its head.
She looked at the soft mass of torn
linen in her hand~she clenched that
hand over the hlmy cobweb that had
been whole before her fingers began
their devastation She cast the white
ball before her and set nor cruel little
heel on it. She writhed about mo-
ment, digging the sharp leather into
the soft mass at her feet. Then a cruel
smile began to tremhel out and lift the
corners airily and then gabe them q
little staggering shake.
Her eyes turned TO the figure at the
table. They frightened to points of light.
She was smiling very sweetly now
After all there was Kenneth. And
she was not done with him yet
Kitty stood watching the boy with
little smile of calculation on her face.
He was not thinking Of her-no one
was thinking of her She began to be
very sorry for herself. OF course. she
had TO think OF herseif-who would
protect her il she did not she wondered.
Her lips began to tremble. She sank

down on the couch and buried her face
in her hands. Ken was still oblivious
of all but his own horror of himself.
Kitty began to sniffle dolcfully.
"Have-have--you a hand-ker-
chief?" she walled at last
She sounded very young and forlorn.
She looked very small and helpless
Ken. Ken, I'm so frightened" she
sobbed.
The boy looked up--his eyes were
still glazed and dull. He wanted to be
left alone with his dead pride
Kitty managed to peek through her
lnterlaced fingers, She began to sob
with intaken breath-with long. weary
eXhaations like a little lost child.
The boy heard her. A woman was
suffering because of him. He had
caused one human being anguish to-
day--hs father His father! He list
ened to the girls sobs. This was what
he and his father had done between
them! The men of the Nelson family
had hurt a woman-one of those men
would shoulder his responsibility
prove himself a man-and then.
Further than that the boy did not dare
look.
He stood up rather wearily-and tried
to shake off the vision of all he had
been through. He felt dizzy, weak, his
head whiried. He moistened his dry
lips and tried to speak.

monotonous voice from far away.

The boy staggered to his feet-stood
swaying for a moment in weakness, like
that OF delirium and then CROPPED his
way to the great armchair by the
table.
He was like a swimmer spent by a
struggle for life in stormy sea. from
whose eugulfng waters he had dragged
himself with life pickering feebly.
Many waters can not quench love-
but they can drown youth and hope and
happiness.
Kenneth stood in dazed wonder by
the great table Uttered with the
souvenirs Of youth and folly. There
were cigarettes in case of silver-his
fathers gift, There were gloves and
a scarf of English wesve-bought from
the allowance his father had given him
and pipes and silver key ring. and
