Haskell did not abuse his rights. Way
thorn had felt miserably sure that he
would not. But the governess was dis
missed and from time 10 time the
little man demanded an interview with
Alice. After the first outburst she ac-
cepted the situation with her usual
adaptability. Haskell had once re-
minded Waythorn Of the piano tuner
and Mrs. Waythorn after month or
two appeared to c.ass him with that
domestic familiar.
Mr.. Sellers was sent To Europe To re-
cover from his govt and NariCk's az
fairs hung on Waythurn's hands. The
negotiations were prolonged and com
plicated: they necessitatcd frequent con-
ferences between the two men.
NariCk appeared well in the transact
ton. In moments Of relaxation his
coarse streak appeared and waythorn
dreaded his geniality. but in the Office
he was concise and clear headed. with
a hattering Difference to Waythorn's
judgment. Their business relations
being so affably established 1t would
have been absurd for the two men to
ignore each other in society.
The first time they met in a drawing
room Varick took up their intercourse
in the same easy key and his hostess's
grateful glance obliged Waythorn TO re-
spond to 1t. After that they ran across
each other frequently and one evening
at n hall Waythorn. wandering through
the remoter rooms, came upon Narick
seated beside his wife. She colored a
little and faltered in what she was say
ing, but Narick nodded to Waythorn
without rising and the latter strolled
on.
In the carriage on the way home he
broke out nervously: II didn't know
you spoke to Narick."
Her voice trembled a little TITS the
first time-he happened to he standing
near me; didn't know what to do. It's
so awkward. meeting everywhere-and
he said YOU had been very kind about
some business"
That's different" said Waythorn.
She paused moment. I'm do just
as YOU wish" she returned plainly. Il

able business In Utica and accepted a
modest clerkship in a New York manu-
featuring house. He boarded in a shabby
street and had few acquaintance. His
passion for Lily filled his life.
The mere fact that Haskell retained
a right over his daughter implied an
unsupported compromise. Waythorn was
an ideallst. He always refused 10 rec
ognize unpleasant contingencies till he
found himself confronted with them.
and then he saw them followed by a
special train Of consequences. His next
days We're thus haunted. and he de-
termined To try To lay the ghost by con-
jurng them up in his wfe's presence.

The word grated on Waythorn. THAT

She murmured: IT'S not as II

Waythorn flushed. This was even less
To his taste. THE question is he
repeated, what authority has he over

She looked downward twisting herself
a little In her seat. Il am willing Ia

faltered.
In a flash he understood that she knew
the extent of Haskett's claims. Per
haps II was not the first time she had
resisted them.

It," he said coldly; IF Haskell has a

She hurst into tears and he saw that
she expected him to regard her as a
victim.

French governess of Lily's."
Haskell, subdued and apologize, stood
before Waythorn in the library. revolv-
ing his shabby hat in his hand
Waythorn. surprised in his armchair
over the evening paper, stared hack
perplexedly at his visitor.

Haskell continued, but this Is my
last visit. and thought IL could have

Waythorn rose uneasily. He did not

that was irrelevant.

Waythorn made no answer. He re-
membered distinctly that after that first
visit he had asked his wife If she had

but she had respected his wishes since
ana the incident cast curious light on
her character. He was sure she would
not have seen Haskell on that first day
If she had OWNED that Waythorn would
object, and the fact that she did not

the latter as the discovery that she had

wrought havoc among her young llu-
sions. 1t was a pity for Way
thorn's peace of mind that Haskett's
very inoffensiveness shed a new light ON
the nature of those illusions. A man
would rather think that his wife has
been brutalized by her first husband
than that the process has been re-
versed.

thought 1t would he less awkward to
speak of him when we meet"
Her pliancy was beginning to sicken
him. Had she really no will of her own
no theory about her relation to these
men? She had accepted Haskett--did
she mean to accept Narick? 1t was
less awkward" as she had said and
her instinct was to evade difficulties or
To circumvent them. With sudden vivid
ness Waythorn saw how the instinct
had developed. She was 'as easy as an
old shoe'-a shoe that too many feet
had worn. Her elasticity was the re-
suit of tension in too many different
directions. Alice Haskett-Alice Narick
Alice Waythorn-she had been each In
turn. and had left hanging to each
name little of her privacy, little OF
her personality, a little Of the inmost
self where the unknown god abides.
"Yes-it's better to speak to Narlck,"
said Waythorn YEARLY.
V.
The winter wore on and society took
advantage of the Waythorns' accept
ance of Narlck. Harassed hostesscs
were grateful to them for bridging over
a social difficulty, and Mrs. Waythorn
was held up as a miracle Of good taste.
Some experimental spirits could not re-
sist the diversion Of throwing Varick
and his former wife together and there
were those who thought he found a
zest in the propinqulty. But Mrs. Way
thorn's conduct remained irr. proach-
able. She neither avoided Narick nor
sought him out. Even Waythorn could
not hut admit that she had discovered
the solution of the newest social problem.
He had married her without giving
much thought To that problem. He had
fancied that woman can shed her pa st
like man. But now he saw that Alice
was bound to hers both by the circum-
stance which forced her into continued
relations with 1t and by the traces 1t
had left on her nature. With grim
irony Waythorn compared himself To
member of a syndicate. He held So
many shares in his wife's personality
and his predecessors were his partners
in the business.

Calista was too intent upon going her
own way in thought to continue 1t
perforce, for silence fell between
them.
And It was into this silence that
the telephone tore vehemently

And before Margaret could utter
word of protest she had the receiver.

grown-upness she attended to the ar
fair in hand.

Meanwhile a white face waited at
Calista's side From it great tear
washed eyes stared incredulously.
Here" Calista was oblivious to
the insistent tide of human emotion
surging about her, as she held the
receiver toward Margaret. He says
to tell you he was in the wrong and
he's ready to go down on his knees
to ask you to forgive him. And he
says to emphasize the down on your

Margaret put out hand. 1t was
wild yearning gesture with which she
bent to hear that voice. And Callsta,

sudden light that flew to her face
Incredibly transformed she was from
