and loyalty to her mother, and she
said this over and over to herself in
varying phrases:
You can't! No matter how much
you love him, you can't! His father

to love him-you can't help that But
you can help marrying him. You
would hate yourself You can never
kiss him again, or feel his arms around
you. You can't touch his hand. You
mustn't even see him. Not IL It breaks
your heart-as your mothers heart
was broken!"
She had turned into an unbeaten
way that ambled from the road
through a track of tall oaks and pines,
scarce more than bridle-path. wind
ing aimlessly through bracken-strewn
depths so dense that even the wild
roses had not found them. In her
childish hurts she had always fed to
the companionship Of the trees. She
had known them every one-the black
gum and pale dogwood and gnarled
hickory, the prickly-balled button
wood" the lowly mulberry and the
majestic red oak and walnut. They
had seemed friendly and plying coun-
selors, standing about her with arms
intertwined. Now, with the rain weep

hard for us? Millions Of other people
love each other and nothing separates
them like this!"
Shirley's warm breath made a little
fog against the star-eyed moss. She
was scarcely conscious of her wet and
clinging clothing, and the soaked
strands Of her hair. She was sc
wrapped in her desolation that she no
longer heard the sound of the perse-
vering rain and the wet swishing OF
the bushes-parting now to hurried
step that fell almost without sound on
the spongy forest soil. She started
up suddenly to see Valiant before her.
He was In a somewhat battered
walking suit of brown khaki, with
leather belt and felt hat whose brim,
stiff with the wet. was curved down
visor-w1se over his brow. In an In
slant he had drawn her upright, and

CHAPTER Xxx
In the Rain.


Shirley stood looking out at the
rain. II was falling in no steady
downpour which held forth promise
OF ending. but with gentle constancy
that gave the hills look of sudden
discomfort and made disconsolate
miry pools by the roadside. The
clouds were not too thick, however, to
let through a dismal gray brightness
that shone on the foliage and touched
with glistening lines of high-light the
draggled tufts of the soaked blue
grass. Now and then, across the drip
ping fields, fraying skeins of mist wan
dered, to lie curdled in the flooded
hollows where, here and there. cattle
stood lowing at intervals in a mourn
full key.
The indoors had become impossible
TO her. She was sick Of trying to
read, sick of the endless pacings and
purposeIess invention OF needless
tasks. She wanted movement, the
cobwebby mist about her knees, the
wet rain in her face. She ran upstairs
and came down clad in a close scarlet

hat.
Emmaline saw her thus accoutered
with disapproval. "Lawdy-mercy,
chile!" she urged; you amt goin'
out? It's rainin' cats en- dawgs!"

line" responded Shirley listlessly,
dragging on her rain-coat "and the
walk will do me good"
On the sopping lawn she glanced
up at her mothers window. Since the
night of the ball her own panging self
consciousness had overlaid the fine
and sensitive association between
them. She had been full of horrible
| feeling that her face must betray her
and the cause of her loss of spirits
be guessed.
Her mother. had, in fact, been
troubled by this, but was far from
guessing the truth. A somewhat long
indisposition had followed her first
sight of Valiant, and she had not
witnessed the tournament. She had
hung upon Shirley's description of 1t,
however. with an excited interest that
the other was later to translate in
the light Of her own discovery. If the
thought had fitted to her that fate
might hold something deeper than
friendship In Shirley's acquaintance
with Valiant, 1t had been OF the

Of hers which had saved his life.
There was in her mind more OBJ
vious explanation of Shirley's altered
demeanor. Perhaps It's Chilly Lusk,"
she had said to herself. Have they
had foolish quarrel, wonder? All,
we'll, in her own time she will tell
me-"
There was some relief to Shir1ey's
overcharged feelings in the very dis
comfort of the drenched weather: the
sucking pull of the wet clay on her
boots and the fiirt of the drops on her
cheeks and hair. She thrust her dog
skin gloves into her pocket and held
her arms outstretched to let the wind
blow through her fingers. The mois-
