freedom from restraint She was still
laughing as she left the house and
came back to her own distressing re-
sponsibilitfes.
So engrossed in fact, she did not
turn back and see Alica slipping lightly
down the street in the opposite direc-
ton. Even her innocent mind WOULD
have suspected that the young girl was
about to do something which, to put
it mildly, might have been termed in
discreet.
For Alica knights very back bris-
tied with defiance, her pretty chin was
uplifted and her eyes looked out a bit
insolently upon pedestrians as though
defying them Now and then she
would halt dubiously, biting her lips
thoughtfully, a little fearfully, then
quickly resume her journey.
1t was the hour Immediately before
twilight that Captain Judd looked up
sharply at a hail from the dock.
While he waited at top of the land

nightly as Alica Knight lightly
climbed beside him. What in the

rest he sought out here upon the

out here, to get away from the tor

Esther and yet so remote from her.
That the same sounds he heard might
reach her ears. that the same sights he
saw might be in her eyes at the same
moment and that she was still thou

the good 1t did-that was what tor
tured him beyond endurance.
Halstead's failing strength, the
precariousness of his clutch upon life
Esther's obedience to him were
In Lynn's thoughts-he was forced
to admit, when calmness soothed
his harrassed brain, that the
! qualities that kept Esther away
were the self same qualities
that caused him so to idolize her.
And still he rebelled against the
harsh dictum OF fate; still he ~aged
at her; still he tortured himself with
