 Thompson wife, it seemed, was capable of nursing of rud1mentary type. I found the woman Willing to come, and sent for her.
 That night Daphne, as we watched, passed from the state of dull oblivion to wild delirium. Her voice, in a monotonous undertone. murmured un- ceasingly. Chiefly she spoke of the garden.
 It was a doorway, she said-a dreaded yet irresistible entrance into a wider garden, one exquisite beyond all human explanation, limitless ex- panse of beauty. And each time she had travelled nearer and nearer to the entrance, and each time it was I who had drawn her back
 "Back-to this!" she moaned, and stretched forth groping. yearning hands.
 We could do nothing, neither I nor the doctor, nor the good, slow-witted soul who had taken on her strange responsibilities So willingly.
 Toward the end of the second nev- er-ending day they insisted unon nv resting. O'Keefe had given Daphne a sleeping-draught, and she lay silent and still. l was physically at the end of my tether.

 It must have been little after four when awoke. shuddering. A shaft of silver brillance crossed my pillow. I sprang up to switch on the light and the loose board creaked noisily under nay slippered feet.

 But at the end of the third day of Merkins labors she appeared, shrill- voiced and flushed, and demanded her money.
 f'For I ain't a-comin' ere no more, " she said.
 Her works practically finished. isn't it?"
 Yes, said Daphne.
 There was a pause.
 You're still glad that we've taken the house?''
 "Of course" said Daphne, with tre- mendous emphasis.
 I'll arrange for the furniture to be moved in on Thursday I said.
 Our new home was a sufficient inn provement on the old one to atone for good deal of incidental Weariness
 At the end of the garden was an oak fence, with trees, bearing red- gold fruit that seemed neither to rip en nor to decay, standing sentinel at each corner and in the center. Beyond stretched a private park of some 20 acres, beyond that, coppice
 We acquired a sto1id and unemo- tional, but useful, maid from one of the villages near. She left us during the second week She gave no reason. She merely repackd the tin box with which she arrived and went. I en- gagged other help, but none of them stayed more than a day or so
 Il shall begin to wonder soon," said desperately, at last, whether we were wise in moving.
 T wish we hadn't, said Daphne, with sudden passion. And yet-!"
 The gardeni" I reminded her.
 If we were to leave that should die" she said in voice so low that scarcely caught the words.
 I didn't understand her. But her mood changed and she seemed glad of my campanionship. Evening after evening we walked side by side down the narrow, box bordered pathway an aisle of scented sweetness.
 The earlier fruits had ripened and gone the way of all fruits, but the three trees by the oak fence were still heavy with their red-gold EasrSen.

 You get me his pictur, Smithers," " he kept sayin, land will do the rist-- and thim."
 Not hard task, be the way, for Clayton Runciman had been away long enough for his picture to be dili- gated to the limbo of forgotten things. Hince, the fust night found it in the garret, out of it's frame, and tucked between broken tlestove and baby's preambulator.

 "The fust steer was the best" ar- gued. Let Us put it up to the old man. Accuse him of having got the fake bonds to puppytrate base fraud, and bleed him good as the price of our silence. Feeble, half-blind and near ly in his dotage, he won't have the nerve to resist us even if he is vide of the offence"
 Which he is, retorted large, with a shake of his embroidered locks. "I believe that Rudolph Runciman is a square man.
 Besides, have learned that he was i1lin bed at the time when these bonds must have been picked up. On the udder hand, mistrust this young woman, who pops up from nowhere to marry man old enough to be her grandpap.
