Bodsky. You said yesterday that Bod
sky used naked language. You were
right. Bodsky undressed things. Just
as some people see red and some blue,
Bodsky saw things naked. He could
look through a black robe of rumor
spangled with lies and see truth naked.
He was naked himself-naked and I'M
ashamed. It's hard for me to make
you see because you did not know him.
BodSky was one of those men who
could have accomplished anything
only he didn't. He sifted life through
a big mesh. All the nonessentials-
the trivialities-fell through. An act
with Bodsky was volition, measured,
weighed, and then hurled. That's why
if you knew him you knew that in his
hands a crime was not a crime. That's
why know that he is dead. He new
er used stale cartridge-his gun new
er missed fire."
Alix unused. II can't see him-I
can't quite see him. A man who can
accomplish anything and doesn't seems
wrong-a waste"

because you are facing my point of
view. You must turn around. Bod
sky used to say that all humanity had
soul, but 1t took tragedy to make
man. His tragedy was that life cut
him out from the herd. He wasn't a
creator, he was creation. Genera

left him standing like a SCARED crag.

The calm which had settled on Alix'
life puzzled her. She wondered If she
was beginning to miss Gerry less. She
was still debating the point when Col

arrival he called on Mrs. i. Y. and
then on Nance and then, Of course, on

AS Alix and Collingeford left the
dining room she said, 'They weren't
all butterflies after all. l saw a man
and a woman"
mot really" said Collingeford.
"WhoY'
ALLAN Wayne and Dora Tennel."
At Alan's name Collingeford's face
lit up with interest. "Ten Percent
Wayne, Ell? Yes, you're right. He's
man. And Dora Tennel, ex-Lady
Braeme. Yes, she's woman too-in
a way"
HAS she a furnished reputation"
Collingeford stopped short in his
stride and looked keenly at Alix. "My
dear lady," he said, "that is a ques-
ton one does not put to man. How
ever, 1t doesn't embarrass me to an
swer it in this case. She has not.
What on earth put it into your head p
II don't know" said Alix. "Oh, yes
l do. / remember. Someone told me
once that Alan surrounded himself
with furnished regulations"
Each followed the train Of his own
thoughts until they reached the pier.
Alix did not get out of the cab She
leaned from the window and said
good-by. Collingeford held her hand
and her eyes long, then he turned
away and hurried into the elevator.
When ~Alix got home she sat down
and wrote note to Alan-just a line
to tell him that she was ready and
wished to see him. He came the fol-
lowing afternoon. AT first he was a
little awkward, straining just the least
too much not to betray his nervous
ness But the sight Of Alix put him
at his ease. She had become a true
woman--true in the sense of honor
and she was tempered as steel, but
soft with the softness of motherhood.
About her there was the peace Of an
inner shrine. She drew him into it un-
hesitatingly and he suddenly felt I'M
clean just as he had felt unworthy on
that other day when he had recoiled
from Nance's loving arms around his
neck.
You're not looking very well, Alan"
said Alix when he was seated.
"No, I'm not on the top Of the wave
just now" replied Alan. Touch of
river fever. It's like memory-a hard
thing to shake"
"Im not trying to shake NINE" said
Alix calmly. my memories have made
me-"
INC wonder you don't quarrel with
them," said Alan In frank admira-
tion.

is nothing, Bodsky was nothing"
They were silent. Presently Col
lingeford helped her out and together
they passed through the rich foyer, the
latticed palm room, and up the steps
into the latest cry in dining rooms. A
little table in the far corner had been
reserved for them. AS they crossed
the crowded room hush fell over the
tables. Some looked and were silent
because Aiix was beautiful and dam
tily gowned and Collingeford all that a
man should be, but those who knew
looked because Alix was AIix and Col
lingeford was Collingeford. These soon
fell to whispering, predicting match.
Alix bowed abstractedly here and
there as she followed the head waiter
to her seat.
They sat down, each half facing the
room. Alix caught her breath. whit

that in time these women will go back

you see, you understand, you are
prophetic" said Collingeford, smiling.
"But do not tower like your Bod
sky" said Alix and then bit her tongue
at the slip.
A shadow seemed to fall on them.
The rooms high, delicate paneling and
the painted oval of the ceiling seemed
to hover over a suddenly darkened
emptiness. The hum and chatter of
the throng became little and far away.
Collingeford and Alix felt as though
they sat alone and yet not alone. Col
lingeford nodded as though Alix had
spoken. "Yes," he said, "Bodsky has
come back to us. Don't regret it. /

strong, nervous hands on Alans shout
ders. She shook him and turned him

not laugh. There was fire in Alix'
eyes. you little thing" she said
tensely, mot to see that the bars are

He turned under her hands and she
let him go. He stood looking out Of
the window at the bare trees. Alix
watched him. ALLAN, you can come to
the Hill tonight. They-we-are all
going to be together here. It's Clem's
birthday. If you can feel the pale,
that's enough for me. I want you to
