Alan had often fatted himself to re-.
ceive the prodigal. and he was not now
at loss to account for the sudden
lassitude, the deadened palate and the
truant sense of smell that had come
upon him. He turned to Mrs. ]. Y.

Alix made a little gesture of despair
with her two hands. "l-I don't know
she repeated. Then, quite quietly, she
began to cry.
Collingeford caught her hands and
drew her to her feet He put his arms
around her. She laid her head against
his shoulder and sobbed. Collinge-
ford's heart was beating furiously.
His arms trembled. He longed to
strain her to him, but he only held her
firmly and patted her back. Some in
stinct told him that this was not the
moment Of possession.
When Alix could talk he knew that
his instinct was true. "Oh," she said,
what little beast I am! Unfair to
you, unfair to myself"
She disengaged herself and sat
down. With tiny square of cambria
she dabbed at, her eyes.
"Here," said Collingeford. and held
out big, fresh handkerchief.
Alix took it and used it solemnly.
Then its bulk struck sudden note
Of humor. She laughed and Collinge-
ford smiled. AS he gave back the hand

hand. II have been a little beast. -

'you have been unspeakably lovable. -
1T would have been that If loved
you. But I don't. That's why I've
been beast. To make you think
Collingeford interrupted her. "You
made me think nothing. Somehow

running over from a full heart"
Alix nodded. "How wonderful of
you to understand" she said. "Lone-
~. Yes. I've been terribly lonely.
Never before so lonely"
"You shall not be lonely any more, -
said Collingeford. "Every day I'll
come and talk to you, take you out
anything. I'm yours"
Alix shook her head from side to
side. Her eyes refused him.
"Alix," cried Collingeford, hurt,
"don't you want me even for a friend ~
"Don't mistake what I'm going to
say, will your" said Alix.
Collingeford shook his head.
"Gerry is coming back" went on
Alix, "but-I don't know what he is
bringing back. Perhaps it is some
thing he can't share with me; perhaps
1t is something do not want. When
you went away had only faith; now
have only doubt. Such big doubt.
That's why I said to you. 4 don't

not have you even for friend" Alix
flushed and fixed her eyes on Collinge-
ford's face. do you understands
Collingeford's eyes were glowing.
Eyes," he said, 81 think I do. You
mean that perhaps-later on-you will
send for me-"
"Perhaps-only perhaps" whispered
Alix.
Collingeford picked up his hat and
stick. He took Alix' hand and held it
long. She would not look up. He
stopped and kissed her fingers.
II shall be waiting" he said.

Clem's was not the only troubled
heart on the Hill. At The Firs Mrs.
Lansing moved restlessly from room
to room and stopped often to read and
re-read a crumpled note-Gerry's note
to Alix.
Alfx was still in town. Mrs. Ian
sing had written to her and then wired

that she wished to be alone. For hours
at time Mrs. Lansing replaced the
nurse at Gerry, juniors. side. He
helped her. She felt that he could help
Alix.
She was almost glad when he devel-
oped some trifling ailment becoming
to his years. She wired again and this
time Alix came, frightened. Alix was
like a wilted flower, but she braced
herself until Gerry, Junior, recovered
into his healthy self. Then she dropped
once more and refused to be COM
forted.
If it had not been for Alan, Alix'
trouble would have cast gloom over
the rest of Red Hill. but it was known
that Alan had sought out Mrs. Ian
sing and told her that not even he
knew just how Gcrry's battle stood,
but that he did know that there was
battle and that Gerry would surely
come back as soon as he had fought
his way clear.
So the Hill in general went almost
untroubled on its way trying to forget
that it was still awaiting fulfillment
and even Alix began to CLEAN little
comfort from the thought that hope
was but deferred. Her heart was sick
her faith weak, but hope still lived

Gerry, Junior, and waited.
At Maple House the beating of
young hearts amounted to din, but
it was suddenly stilled by a day of
drenching rain. After the very tame
excitement of seeing J. Y. and the
judge off for the city. gloom settled
in the faces of the children. Cousin
Tom, in rubber boots and coat, came
down the road from Elm House to
find company for misery. The barn
was requisitioned and became the
scene Of subdued frolic, but it af.
forded meager diversion. The hay
was not in yet, the empty lofts were
dreary. In the afternoon Mrs. ]. Y.
was besieged to surrender the house
and finally did. Alan had gone to his
room and closed the door. The captain
was plunged in invulncrable slumber.
Somebody raped at Alan's door and
he called, Come in" The door opened
and revealed Nance, junior. Behind
her was giggling, whispering throng.
The spirit Of fun danced in Nance's
eyes. Her cheeks were flushed and
her golden head was in disarray. "Oh.
Cousin Alan" she cried, "grandma's
given US leave for hide and seek and
we're all going to play except mother
and grandma and the captain. Please
come. too, Cousin Alan"
From behind her came a modified
echo. "Pleath do, Couthin Alan" Alan
smiled and laid down his book. "All
