true that IL has thrown him sop by
placing his implements and such

he will have TO sell his products at

quickly with a handful which she put
in his grasp.
"There!" she whispered, and slipped
back through the perfumed dark.
An hour later she stood in the
coy stiffness of her bedroom.
She threw of her gown, slipped into
a soft loose robe Of 1naize-colored silk
and stood before the small glass. She
pulled out the amber pins and drew
her wonderful hair on either side Of
her face. looking out at her reflection
like a mermaid from between the rip
ping waves of moon-golden sea.
At last she turned, and seating haSl
self at the desk, took from it q diary.
She scanned the pages at random, her
eyes catching lines here and there.
"A good run today. Betty and Judge
Chalmers and the Pendleton boys. My
fourth brush this season" A frown
drew itself across her brows, and she
turned the page. "One of the hounds
broke his leg. and I gave him to
Hickey" Chilly Lusk to

ing Rapid
She bit her lip, turned abruptly to
the new page and took up her pen.
This morning a twelve-mile run to
Damory Court" she wrote. This
afternoon went for cape jessamines. !"
There she paused. The happenings
and sensations of that day would not
be recorded. They were unwritable.
She laid down her pen and put her
forehead on her clasped hands. How
empty and inane these entries seemed
beside this rich and eventful twenty
four hours just passed! What had
she been doing year ago today? she
wondered. The lower drawer of the
desk held a number of slim diaries
like the one before her. She pulled it
out, took up the last-year's volume
and opened 1t.
Why" she said in surprise, Il got
jessamine for mother this very same
day last year," she pondered frown-
ing. then reached for a third and q
fourth. From these she looked up,
startled. That date In her mother
calendar called for cape jessam1nes.
What was the fourteenth Of May to
her?
She bent slow troubled gaze about
her. The room had been hers as a
child. She seemed suddenly back In
that childhood, with her mother bend
ing over her pillow and fondling her
rebellious hair. When the wind cried
for loneliness OF. in the dark she had
sung old songs to her. Sad songs!
