safety might be expected. Once in the
station, they might hope to pass the
hour of waiting in obscurity, since that
was the last place that search would
be made.
After the first intense moment Of ex-
altation, both began to fear o possible
search. Grace apparently dreaded dis
covery as shrinkingly as If her con-
science were not clear, and Gregory,
found it homogeneous that she who was
always right, wanted to hide. AS they
breasted the pillows Of jollity which in
it's vocal stress became almost mater
ialized, there grew up within him a
feeling uneasily akin to the shame Of
Lis past. Old days seemed rising from
their graves to chill him with their
CHASTITY show Of skeletons. Of dead
delights.
But Grace's hand was upon his arm
and the crowd pressed them close to.
gether-and she was always beautiful
and divinely formed. The prospect OF
complete possession filled him with
ecstasy, while Grace herself yielded
to the love that had outgrown all
other principles of conduct.
Grace could deceive herself about
this love, could reassure her con.
science with specious logic. but she
never lost her GOODNESS Of Judgment
concerning Hamilton Gregory. His
laps from conventionality did not
come from deliberate choice. and she
realized the danger Of letting his fever
ish impulse grow cold. Even the pros
pect Of waiting an hour at the station
frightened her. She must save him
from that Fran who, it appeared, was
his daughter-and from the worldly
woman who was not his wife-and he
must be saved at once, or the happi
ness of their lives would suffer ship
wreck.
They gained the street before the
courthouse which by courtesy passed
under the name of "the city square,
Grace's hand grew tense on Gregory's
arm-"Look!"
Her whisper was lost in the wind
but Gregory followed her frightened
glance, saw Robert Clinton elbowing
his way through the crowd, forcing
his progress bluntly, or jovially, &C
cording to the nature OF obstruction
He did not see them and, by lodging
they escaped.
