A CRISIS

That same afternoon Maud Allan
had a somewhat casual visitor, an
occurrence that might have had
strange results If Destiny had not at
once begun to move IN the great tun-
mel drama with inconceivable sud
denness.
The visitor was Ethel Lloyd. There
was no reason why she should not
have called on Mrs. Allan at Tun-
mel City, excepting that she had NOT
done so for several years. Also. there
was no reason why she should have
two several and distinct excuses.
And Furthermore, there was no oc-
casiop for her to blush when she
gave either one of them-but she did
all of these things.
Mrs Allan was somewhat mustered
at first herself when the caller was
announced, but she received the girl
with sweet cordially. She had just
been talking to her husband over the
telephone and possibly that had some
thing to do with 1t. He told her
Rives was on his way down to Tun-
mel City and that he, Allan, mad been
called TO Montreal.
ut has been a long time since I
have seen you.'' she said. as she
pressed the girls hand and looked
into the lovely face.
Yes" said Miss Lloyd. Il have
never been so busy. Papa gives me
more and more to do all the time, and
it seems to me 1 have hardly breathed
for year."
"Mr. Allan tells me he sees you
occasion ally"
Their chances f1ickered and crossed
for an instant and Maud felt a long
formed subconscious suspicion leap
into a conscious certainty.
Yes" the girl was saying calmly.
papa has given me most Of the detail
of the tunnel work to handle. But
she smiled like child. Il didn't come
to talk about my work; want to see
yours"
Miner" Mrs. Allan smile da little
vaguely.
Yes I have heard so much about
your model hospital and kindergarten
and all the rest of 1t for the working
people here. You know, I'm greatly
Interested in that sort Of work, too,
in my leisure time"
PECULIAR TONE
Mrs. Allan felt that the tone some-
what belittled the great humanitarian

mel City. and resented 1t; but she

smiled as little Edith trotted out on to
II can give 1t only my leisure time,
too. she said This Is my real
work"
Miss LLOYD cooed over the child in
the most approved fashion and then
suggested that she would love to see
the hospital and recreation building
If Mrs. Allan could spare the time to
guide her. This was safe ground, and
the two women passed an Interesting
hour on an inspection tour, In the
course of which Miss Lloyd insisted
that she be allowed to complete the
somewhat Inadequate library.
"Mr Allan is not here?' she In
auired, with just faint suggestion OF
an effort to be natural. They had re-
turned to the house and she was pre-
pairing to make her adieu.
NO, unfortunately" replied, Mrs.
Allan. with regret. He telephoned
he had been suddenly called TO Mon
treal. I was expecting him this even
ing"
That's too badr exclaimed Miss
Lloyd, sympathetically. How Is her
Very we'll. I think, but badly over
worked Sometimes he is unable to
come home for even a few hours for
weeks together. My only fear Is that
he will break down under It.. He
has kept this up for years, but he
thinks that the work will be lighter
from now on
Miss Lloyd shook her head as one
who longs to be optimistic. but can
not conscientiously. Her wonderful
eyes were filled with concern and
Mrs. Allan resented this, too.

said the girl.
Mrs. Allan eyed her questioning.
IT mean the financial one. You
know, 1t was understood that we
would not try to raise the second

pentine tunneling at Bermuda ate up
such an awful lot more than was
expected that II won't be possible to
finish more than q quarter OF the
entire work on the first subscription
and Mr.. Allan Is trying to figure out
how he can make the showing az
good as possible. But of course, you
know about it." she broke on
ANOTHER LIE
II knew something OF it." lied Mrs.
Allan. and she was angry because she
knew that Miss Lloyd could tell she
was lying.
There was no reason for her resent
j ment, she told herself, on this partic-
| uiar count when her visitor was gone
1t was natural that Mac should talh
over many business things with
Lloyd's daughter. matters that he had
no time for In the few softer momentt
of his visit home. But while the In.
timacy between her husband and Miss
Lloyd might have been. and might
still be, all business on his side. Maud
Allan knew that there was something

besides business in Miss Lloyd's atti-
tude toward her husband.
Was this also true OF him?
She asked the question with q
calmness that startled her. Was this
the reason that he did not find or
make time for more frequent trips to
Tunnel City? Something gripped her
tight-something at her heart--when
the thought came; but she was
shocked to find that 1t did not bring
the desolation she would have been
sure would have followed. She had
leaped to arms instinctively when she

her husband--but how much of her
readiness to do battle was prompted
by pride and the right of possession?

Was 1t true that he had grown away
from her and toward this wonderful
and masterful young woman I'm these
years? And, more amaxing, was 1t
possible that she had ceased to re-
gard him as the mainspring of her
life?
Possibly 1t was. In all that long
afternoon in which she struggled with
new and strange thoughts she did not
once consciously recall to herself the
fact that Mac was the father OF Edith.
and when Rives came up the steps in
the twilight she greeted him in a sud
den warmth Of feeling she had never
known before.
1t had not been a very pleasant
afternoon for Rives. He had hurried
to his office, where he had sat for an
hour gazing at the piles of work be-
fore him, and his thoughts were far
away from 1t. His thoughts were not
altogether unpleasant, but he, too, was
undergoing crosn examination at the
hands OF himself. He came out of II
we'll, he told himself. but conscience
still kept step with him. He had a
sternly repressed feeling OF Joy, a
feeling that man forbids himself to
recognize. 1t arises from the knowl-
edge that what we have secretly de-
sired to happen Is happening. though
we have striven our hardest in our
duty to prevent 1t.

said. as he came up the steps.
