CHAPTER X.

Early that year, the touch OF autumn
came to the air. Often, returning at
shutdown from the afternoon life class,
Samson felt the lure of its melancholy
sweetness. and paused on one of the
Washington Square benches, with
many vague things stirring In his
mind He felt with stronger throb
the surety of young, but quickening.
abilities within himself. Partly, it was
the charm of Indian summer partly
a sense of growing with the days, but,
also, though he had not as yet realized
that, 1t was the new friendship into
which Adrienne had admitted him,
and the new experience of frank cam
araderie with woman not as a mem.
Der of an inferior sex, but as an equal
companion of brain and soul. He had
seen her often, and usually alone, be-
cause he stunned meetings with
strangers. Until his education had ad.
vanced further, he wished to avoid
social embarrassments. He knew
that she liked him. and realized that
1t was because he was new and virile
type, and for that reason a diversion
sort OF human novelty. She liked
him, too, because II was TsEo Tor "a
man to offer her friendship without
making love, and she was certain he
would not make love. He liked her
for the same reasons that every one
else did-because she was herself. OF
late, too. he had met a number of
men at Lescotts club. He was mod
estly surprised to find that, though
his attitude on these occasions was
always that of one sitting in the back.
ground, the men seemed to like him,
and, when they said. See you again."
at parting, 1t was with the convincing
manner OF real friendliness.
One wonderful afternoon in Ooto-
Der. when the distances were mist
hung, and the skies very clear, Sam.
son sat across the table from Adrienne
Lescott at a road house on the Sound.
The sun had set through great cloud
battalions massed against the west,
and the horizon was fading into dark
ness through haze Ike ash of roses.
She had picked him up on the Ave
nue, and taken him into her car for
short spin. but the afternoon had
beguiled them, Turing them on little
farther, and still a little farther When
they were score of miles from Man
haitian, the car had suddenly broken
. down. 1t would, the chauffeur told
them. be the matter of an hour to
effect repairs, so the girl, explaining
TO the boy that this event gave the
affair the aspect OF adventure, turned
and led the way, on foot, to the near

The man shook his head
Certainly not. But the fact that
you did care to go with him indicates
an influence over you which is new.

she said, because none are needed
He is a stranger in New York, who
knows nothing, and cares nothing
about the conventionalities If I chose
to waive them, think it was my right

Horton said nothing, and, in a mo-
ment Adrienne Lescotts manner
changed. She spoke more gently:
"Wilfred, I'm sorry you choose to
take this prejudice against the boy

announced.

the girl She threw off her fur coat,

Samson wanted to look at her. and
was afraid that this would be impolite.
He realized that he had seen no

now he had the opportunity.

eyes that twinkled.
"Mr. South" she said, Il know all

about hundred real things that

Samson's face lighted with the rev.

bring only to features customarily
