Barbara Allison recrossed the lawn
very slowly that night. She retraced
her steps with head bent, the fall Of
her slippered feet muffied by the car
pet of thick, unfrosted grass. Vaguely
troubled, vaguely disturbed at herself,
she was within arms length Of
dark figure in the hedge gap through
which she had just come before she
was aware of its presence. Stephen
O'Mara, weather beaten hat in hand,
was standing there in her path, peer
ing steadily at the stucco and timber
lodge alight from end to end like
huge and sprawling glowworm.
An insistent desire again to meet the
Honorable Archibald Wickersham had
led him to request Fat Joe to hook up
the team that day at noon for the long
drive down the river. With Steve him
self handling the reins they had rolled
the thirty miles at a speed which might
have mildly surprised Fat Joe had he
not been accustomed to putting two
and two together to make six or eight
or more. And Fat Joe's thin tenor was

lessly forward and put hand, feather

Again she felt the swift tenslng of
the flesh beneath; she fell back step
before the startling abruptness with
which Steve whirled. She even threw
up one small hand, as If to shield her
face. And then. the cloak falling open
at her throat. a slender, swaylng fig
ure in blue and shimmering white, she
stood and flunga little laugh at him-a
laugh a little unsteady, bit tinged
with mockery and as untroubled as the
spirit Of youth itself.
"Is that the way you always prepare
to greet your friends?' she asked.
The man just stood and stared at
her-stared much as If he mistrusted
his own ears and eyes

drawled at last, but even the words
were tinged with doubt. Not all my
