Alix and Alan were in the grip OF
fever that is hard to break save
through safety and ruin. They were
still held apart by generations of sound
tradition but against this bulwark the
fuI flood of modern life as they lived
it was directed.
1t was only year ago that the table
talk one night had turned on what was
society's religion and Alan had said
Society has no religion nowadays;
II has given up religion for corrosive
philosophy of nonethics." He had seen
clearly then but not clearly enough TO
save himself He had played with the
corrosive philosophy until he had dl-
yorced flesh from the soul and now it
was playing with him. He found him.

for Alix.
With her. things had not gone so far.
From the security of the interrupted
she had watched her chosen world play
wifi fire and only now when tempta-
ton assailed her, did she realize the
weakness that lies in every woman
once her outposts have fallen and her
bare heart becomes engaged in the bit
tie. Not many days had passed after
their return when Alan's constant at
tendance upon Gerry's wife became
the absorbing center of interest TO their
mart of town life. People said little
enough. Their eyes were too wide

wards catastrophe.

very quietly, but it was the quiet of
suppressed passion at white heat.

quivering and her face twitched in a
way that was terrifying to Gerry. He
hurried out repeating to himself over
and over, you have made Alix cry.
You have made Alix cry"
Alix toyed with the silver on her
dressing-table until he had gone and
then she swept across the room to
her little writing-desk and wrote the
note that Alan had found half an hour
later in his rooms.

Gerry bit his lips and turned from
her. And alan. of all men," he went
on. At the words the current of her
thoughts was changed She found her
self suddenly on the defensive do

has played with and betrayed?" Ger
rvs lip was curved to sheer. "A

himself with furnished regulations"
A dull glow came into Alix' cheeks.
''Philanderers are of many breeds"
she said. There are those who have
the wit to philander with woman and
those who can only rise to whisky or
a golf club. Whatever else Alan may
be he is not a time-server."
Once aroused Alix had taken up the
gauntlet with no uncertain hand. Her
first words carried the war into the
enemy's camp and they were barbed.
'What do you mean?' said Gerry
duly. He had not anticipated a &c

CHAPTER IV-Continued.

Towards the end of the voyage Alix
faced, wide-eyed, the revelation that
the stakes of the game she and Alan
had played were body and soul.
Alan" she said one night with droop-
ing head, I've had enough l don't
want to play any more. 1 want to
quit" She lifted tear-filled eyes to
him. The foil of artificiality had been
Knocked from her hand. She was all
woman and defenseless.
Alan felt a trembling in all his
limbs. Il want to quit. too, Alix," he
said in his low vibrating voice, "but
I'm afraid we can't. You see, I'm
beaten. too. While 1 was just in love
with your body we were safe enough,
but now I'm in love with you. It's
the kind of love a man can pray for
in vain. No head in it; nothing but
heart. Honor and dishonor become
mere names. Nothing matters to me
but you
Tears crawled slowly down Alix'
cheeks. She stood with her elbows
on the rail and faced the ocean so no
one might see. Her hands were locked.
In her mind her own thoughts were
running Somehow she could under
stand Alan without listening. If only
Gerry had done this thing to her, she
was thinking, the pitileSs wracking
misery would have been joy at white
heat She was unmasked at last-but
Gerry had not unmasked her. Not
once since the day of their engage
ment had Gerry unmasked, himself.
Alan was standing with his side to
the rail. his eyes leaving her face only
to keep track of the promenaders so
that no officious friend should take her
by surprise. He went on talking. "Our
Judgment is calling to us to quit but
1T is calling from days ago." he said.
S'We wouldn't listen then and it's only
the echo we hear now. We can try
to quit if you like. but when l am
alone / shall call for you, and when
you are alone you will call for me.
We will always be alone except when
we are near each other. We can't
break the tension, Alix. 1t will break
us in the end"
The slow tears were still crawling
down Alix' cheeks. In all her life
she had never suffered so before. She
felt that each tear paid the price Of all
her levity.
"Alan," she said with quick glance
at him, did you know when we began
that it was going to be like this?"
"No." he answered. have trifed

Alan and when he did he would break
Alix for Alan and Alan's nature was
without understanding but it was gen
uine He knew there were such men
and he ascribed all their acts to de-
basement beyond regeneration and
none to temperament. From moral
laxity there was no appeal beyond the
sin itself.
The landfall of Pernambuco awoke
him from reveries and introspection.
He did not lock upon this palm-strewn
coast as a land of new beginnings-he
sought merely a Lethean shore.
The ship crawled in from an oily
sea to the long strip of harbor behind
the reef. Above, the sun blaZed from
a bowl of unbroken blue; on land.
the multicolored houses spread like a
rainbow under a dark cloud of brown
tiled roofs. Giant plane trees cast blots
of shade on the cobbled esplanade
of the boat quay In their shelter a
negress squatted behind her basin of
CONSCIOUS and another before a tray
of fried fish Around them lounged
a ragged crew, boatmen, stevedores
and riffraff, black, brown and white.
Beyond the trees was a line of high
succeed houses, each painted a diff
ferent color, all weather stained, and
some with rusted balconies that threat
ened to topple on to the passer-by.
One bore the legend, Hotel d'Europe."
There Gerry installed himself.

Between the hour of writing her
note to Alan and the moment when
she stepped on the train Alix had had
no time to think. She was still driven
by the impulse of anger that Gerry's
words had aroused. She did not reflect
that the wound was only to her pride.
Alan held open the door Of the draw
ing room. She passed in and he closed
it. Alix threw back her veil and
looked at him. With a quick stride for
ward he caught her to him and kissed
her mouth until she gasped for breath.
With fash she remembered his own
words, "If 1 ever kiss you l shall bring
your soul out between your lips" To
Alix' amazement she did not feel an
answering fire. The kiss had brought
her soul out between her lips. Her
soul stood naked before her and ones
naked soul is an ugly thing. The kiss
disrobed her, too, and from that last
bourne of shame Alix suddenly re-
VOTED.
Gasping. she pushed Alan from her,
Their eyes met His were burning,
hers were frightened. She moved slow
ly backward to the door and with her
hand behind her opened the latch.
Alan did not move. He knew that IL
he could not hold her with his eyes he
could not hold her at all. The train
started. Alix passed through the door
and rushed to the platform. The pOr-
ter was about to drop the trap on the
steps. Alix slipped by him. With all
her force she pushed open the door
and jumped. The train was moving
very slowly but Alix reeled and would
have fallen had it not been for pass
ing baggageman. He caught her and,
still in his arms, Alix looked back
Alans white face was at the window.
He looked steadily at her.
"Ye almost whit with him, Miss"
said the baggageman, with a full
brogue and a twinkling eye.
How did you known said Alix,
dazed.
At the strange question the baggage
mans longer upper lip drew down to
gravity. Where dye think was
whin We stipt Off the thrain into nae

CHAPTER


Gerry stood in the hall outside Alix'
room for a moment hoping to hear a
sob, cry, anything for an excuse TO
go back. Instead he heard the scratch
of pen but he was too troubled 10
deduce anything from that He went
slowly down the stairs and OUT into
the street. The biting winter air
hraced him. He started to walk rapid
ly. At the end of IN hour he found
himself standing on a deserted pier.
He took off his hat and let the wind
cool his head Il have made a woman

slowly back to the avenue and into his
club but he still felt uneasy, A waiter
