was besieged to surrender the house
and finally did. Alan had gone to his
room and closed the door. The captain
was plunged in invulnerable slumber.
Somebody raped at Alan's door and
he called, "Come in" The door opened
and revealed Nance, junior. Behind
her was giggling, whispering throng.
The spirit of fun danced in Nance's
eyes. Her cheeks were flushed and
her golden head was in disarray. "Oh.
Cousin Alan," she cried, "grandma's
given us leave for hide and seek and
we're all going to play except mother
and grandma and the captain. Please
come, too, Cousin Alan"
From behind her came modified
echo, "Pleath do, Couthin Alan" Alan
smiled and laid down his book. "All
right" he laughed.

Glenn was unaffected, even tender, with
Alan as long as he was weak, but as
his strength returned to him she with
drew, one by one and gently. the inti-
mate attentions woman accords to
babes and the related helpless. But
there was nothing absolute in her with
drawal; it was more temptation than
q denial, born Of woman's innate de

merely convalescent it contained sup

chievous, but when his full strength
came back and he failed to pursue, the
gayety arrested itself. turned into a
questioning wistfulness and ended in
the secret shame and bushes Of the
repulsed and undesired.
Glenn saw Alan build barrier
against her, a barrier of little things,
each insignificant in itself but each
lending and borrowing the strength of
accumulation. Alan spent hours with
the old captain, walked, rode and
talked with J. Z. and the judge. Be
tween them, ]. Y. and the Judge had
dxed up Lieber's affair and Alan had
cabled.
In the midst of women Alan seemed
to be able to forget woman-t0 forget
her Intentionally. There was nothing
pointed In his avoidance He kept his
distance from Alix and Nance and
Jane Elton in the same measure as
from Glenn. There was thus none of
the single avoidance Of the shy swain
who lavishes attentions on all but her
whom he would most dearly sue. Clem,
beast vain of beautiful women, sat long
hours before her glass. Never before
had the charms it revealed been ques-
toned, never had she been forced to
close in the ranks and call up the re-
serves, and now she felt at a loss, un-
accustomed to the ready moves of the
coquette. Clem dropped her face in
her hands and cried.
