have never had the full story from Betty.
There are things women won't tell. But,
looking at her face now, one can guess at
the tragedy of those awful first lean years.
When Betty came back to us for the first
time last year, her eyes had that look, in
delble, unforgettable-the look of men,
Dry. But there was something else, too,
in her face, that made one glad to see it,
and that was-victory.
Victory" Mavis said slowly, a dull
fire in her agate-colored eyes. "Over
WHAT"
Some latent astonishment was mani
test in Isabels face. "You, as Kanes
wife, ought to know what life there means
at the first.
ooh, / know" Mavis laughed sud-
denly. With an impatient gesture, she
took up rose Isabel had laid upon the
table and began tearing it apart petal
by petal. 81 know" she said again.
There was silence, broken by neither
Mrs. Ryburn leaned back in her chair,
her glance playing lightly, smilingly, from
one to the other. Isabel leaned forward.
"Do you women of the plains never
look back on us here-and pity us? Or
guess how some of us envy you the bar
gain life's made with your"
"Bargain!" Mavis said. "Do you ever
consider the price ece pay?"
ave pay, too" Isabel said gently.
"But at the end your days, your hands,
are full. And ours are empty. That is
the difference"
When her aunt and Isabel had gone
out again, Mavis went down alone
to the shore, where long, low line of
cliffs sprang up from the sands She
flung herself down on the bracken, and
lay staring out at the purple waters.
There was no reason why her thoughts
should revert so persistently to Kane.
Her manner of leaving him, his bitter,
contemptuous arraignment of her. had
snapped asunder any lost links of love
the old years had forged for them. The
word with which he had branded her,
that false rd-"quitter"! Had she not
the right to choose her own way and life,
as Kane had?
And still the vision of Kane's tagged
face and haggard eyes swan before her.
Even the sea held the color of his eyes
dark purple, with the tawny under-color,
those wistful, entreating eyes of Kane!
In an upflash of rage at her own vacil-
lation and useless retrospection, Mavis
fled back to the house and called up
Tommy Eversley.
TOMMY came down promptly. After
dinner he and Mavis motored I'D to
town to the theater and supper afterward.
And on the homeward way, being bit
dazed by her high spirits (and perhaps
by other spirits as bubblng and much
more confusing to a small-caliber brain
like Tommy's) he tried to kiss her, and
White and shaking with rage and loath-
ing, Mavis descended from the car and
ran up to her room. She switched on
the lights-and confronted her aunt, sit
ting beside the window and evidently
waiting for her

you there are safer men than Tommy

wanted to hear. From the door Mrs.
Ryburn looked back at her niece.

She closed the door, to open it again
almost Immediately.
al don't know whether it will interest
you, but Kane has been having trouble
with some Mexican squatters, and they
burned some barns and shot him in the
shoulder. Nothing serious, however,"
Tho night was very still, with no sound
from the sea except now and then tho
shrek of a tug or the long, far-otf blast
of steamer. Over tho plains, Mavis
thought, the stars were gold in sky of
brilliant blackncss, and about the stone
house behind the pepper and eucalyptus
trees the wind was whrlng and rising and
falling all night long.
and Knn3 muS there atone.
Presently the cycle of her thoughts
swung round to the squattcr. 1t must
have been Martinez. 1t was he who had
stolen the sheep in the lower ranch, and,
when Malloy and his men were hot on the
trail, had forsaken his spoil and fled to
tho foothills. There had been no abso-
lutte proof, but suspicion had clearly
pointed to Martinez. II he had declared
vendetta on Kane
And Isabel was going out to the South
west country--lsabcI, who had wanted
Kane!
And oven Tommy Evcrslcy hated
gutter.
IF Mrs. Ryburn was aware of UNDER
currents in Mavis's newly ordered en-
istencc, her placid air gave no hint of such
suspicious. She managed this outing
and that; she ordered clothes, and more
clothes. She looked on with her sure
smile as the tan and roughncss vanished
from Mavis's hair. She bchcld Mavis

the full flower of womanhood-

July had gone and the August tides
We're tlinging the scawced on the sands.
Mavis, coming in one afternoon with her
skirts and loose blouse damp with tho
smell of the sea, found her aunt dressed
for going out and impaticntly waiting.
"Had you forgotten the matin6c?'
"No," Mavis said. "I'm not going

refined in his lathered horse. A cry broke
from Mavis's lips:
"Kane!"
He looked up at her from under the
brim of his hat, his eyes fierce and bright
in his dark face. But he spoke no word,
sitting there silent, grim figure on his
painting horse. She wondered why he had
come, since he did not speak even her
name nor good-by.
Suddenly she leaned out of the window.
"Good-by, Kane" she said.
He lifted his hat then and bowed, an
ironical smile twitching his lips. Was he
thinking, as she was, how she had come
a bride to the station ten years before?
She had chung to him, and the promise of
all protection lay in his strong young arm.
And, thus remembering, the world of
sunset was blurred out, and with it the
silent, still figure of Malloy. And, UNI
needed by her, the train began to move
with rattle and clank and roll.
She sprang up in sort of wild surprise
and alarm, and ran the length of the car
to the door. The conductor, swinging it
shut, looked at her in disapproval.
"Pve-Pve forgotten something" she
stammered. am sorry, but I've got to
go back.

have to wait till you get to the next
station"
She went back to her place, and leaned
out as far as she dared from the window.
But the train was flying east now, and
Corwin was dim spot on the plains
center. She sat down and began pulling

dts too late she thought duly. dts
too late!"
THE orchestra was playing in the palm
room, and the wild Hungarian air
translated itself into supreme loneliness
and sorrow to Mavis's ears. She sat with
Tommy Eversey at a table in a secluded
corner. Down the aisle she could glimpse
now and then her Aunt Jula's bare white
shoulders, or catch the fash of the jewel
in her hair as she nodded smilingly to some
newcomer. Mavis sat listening, her hands
lying tense in her lap. The blood beat
in her throat in sort of ecstasy.
She became aware of Tommy's eyes
staring at her from between his puffy lids
"Gad, how you must have missed it
all, Mavis! Your face looks like Ellen
Terry's in--what? Ophelia?"
Mavis, reused from her dream, laughed
TREMENDOUSLY.
"Oh, you can't know-you couldn't
guess! There's the music now"
Tommy's brows went up. He turned
an Indifferent glance upon the musicians

Tell me about Kane" he demanded.
"Good old Kane! l bear him grudge for
taking you away from me, but tell me.
We have been hearing how he's made the
desert blossom, y know. Cad, how |

"You?" Mavis said.
The faint intonation of sarcastic surprise
stung the color into Tommy's cheeks
II guess we do look pretty rotten to
you after ten years out there where they

here; but little Tommy's a lily of the
field who can't even buy bond without
it turning out gold brick. l know how
