Alan did not draw rein until he
reached the top of the bluff dividing
the valley from West lake. Then for
a moment he sat and stared down the
long slope. There was a smell of mois-
ture in the air. The valley, the whole
world. was expecting, waiting for rain.
and even as he stared the rain came in
a fne, veillike mist that steadied the
tones OF earth and sky to one even
shade of endless gray. Out Of the gray
came the click of iron on pebble. Alan
recognized the quick. springy tread
Of a climbing horse. He turned and
faced Glen. He felt the slow color
rising in his cheeks and his hands
trembled.
They did not smile at each other;
they even forgot to say good morning.
Alan licked his thin lips. They were
as dry as ever they had been with
fever. where's your hat?" he asked
A flicker of amusement showed in
Clem's eyes. She was quite calm and
she could see that Alan was not, that
he was biting his tongue at the feeble
words he had saddled on a heavy mo-
ment. Hats are for sunny days." she
said. 81 like rain on my head. Have
you anything special to do? Don't let
me bother you"
NO" stammered Alan, nothing
that can't be put on"
"Do you remember" Glenn went on
years ago I asked you to take me
for a ride. and you said not then but
sometime? I've never had my ride
with you. I want II now"
Her eyes were fixed on his and held
him. 81 am ready" he said through
| dry lips.
She turned her horse and he fol
lowed. They rode In silence at a walk
and then at trot. Glen turned into
wood-road. Her horse broke into a
gallop. She fiicked him with her whip
and his gathered limbs suddenly
stretched out for free run. The 60
ing was soft. Alan had fallen behind
Clots of messy loan struck him in the
face. Swaying branches showered
drops Of water on him. He lost his
hat. Then his lips frightened. his eyes
flashed and he began to ride. He was
himself again.
He urged his horse forward, but he
could not get on even terms; Glen held
the middle Of the morrow truck. Sud.
denly they burst Into the broad Low
road. With terrific clatter of flying
stones and slipping. scrambling hoofs
they made the turn. Alan rode at last
| on Ciem's quarter. "Clem." he cried
stop! 1t Isn't fair to the horsas.r

When Glen and Alan reached. home
long after the lunch hour they found
the Hill athrill with news. AK had
received a cable and had left at once
Tor town. She had gone alone. That
could mean but one thing-Gerry was
at last coming back.
1t was from Barbados that Gerry
had cabled. Ever since he had written
MS short note to Alix. through long
doubling weeks at Piranhas and longer

board the slow freighter that was

scurried across an ancient clearing
pushed through brush and branches
and burst out on to the long. bald back
Of East mountain. Then came another
clear run over crisp sod dangerously
interspersed with wet, slippery stones
and hindering powders.
At the highest point in all the coun-
tryside Glen suddenly drew rein and
slipped from her horse before Alan
could reach her. She stood with one
arm across the saddle-horn and waited
for him.
Alan threw himself from his horse
and rushed up to her. His hands were
itching to grip her shoulders and shake
her, but he held them at his side.
What did you do 1t for?" he asked
with blazing eyes.
Glen looked him over coolly. Ever
run after anyone before. AlanT
"Whatr suffered Alan. He felt
foundations slipping from under him.
Here was a person who could look Ten
Percent Wayne at his best in the eye
and never turn a mental hair.
How do you like IL" continued
Glen in an even, firm voice. Then she
turned her square back to the saddle
and faced him fairly. "I'll tell you
what did It for. All my life I've been
running after you. Last night heard
you packing. I knew what you were
doing-you were getting ready to 60
away. Before you went wanted you
to run after me-just once. sort
Of consolation prize to pride"
| Alan's face hardened. "Stop, Glenn.
You can't talk like that to me and you
can't talk like that to yourself" he
looked at Glen and the blood surged
into his neck and face. At that mo-
ment Glen was beautiful to him be-
yond the widest dreams Of fair
women.
Her right arm was still hooked
over the double horn of her saddle
and her left hand holding a slim rid
ing whip hung ut her side. To the vel
vet lapels of her coat chung little drops
Of rain. Her hair was braided and
firmly tied in double fold at the back
| Of her neck, but short strands had
escaped from durance and played
about her head. Her head, like the
velvet lapels, was busted with little
silvery drops of water and little drops
OF water perched on her long. upturned
lashes. Her cheeks were flushed, her
bosom agitated, her lips tremulous.
Only her eyes were steady.
Alan took off his coat and threw II
over n rock. "Will you please sit down
l must talk to you"
Glen strobe to another rock and sat
down. you are absurd. Your coat
Is as wet as the stones. Put 1t on"
Alan hesitated. Put your coat on"
Alan obeyed; then he sat down be.
fore her. but turned his eyes away and
gazed rather vacantly over the whole
wet world. "If ever two people have
known each other without words,
Glen, it's you and me. Never mind
the grammar. Even unshackled words
are a dribbling outlet for full heart,
and my hearts as full today with
things I've never said to you as the
clouds are with rain.
