CHAPTER
& { AAAfGG2z & T

Gerry stood in the hall outside Alix'
room for moment hoping to hear
sob, cry, anything for an excuse to
go back. Instead he heard the scratch
of pen but he was too troubled TO
deduce anything from that. He went
slowly down the stairs and out into
the street. The biting winter air
braced him. He started to walk rapid
ly. At the end of an hour he found
himself standing on deserted pier
He took off his hat and let the wind
cool his head. Il have made a woman
cry-Alix!" He turned and walked
slowly back to the avenue and into his
club but he still felt uneasy. A waiter
brought whisky and soda and put 1t
at his elbow. Gerry turned on him.
who told you to bring that?" Then
he felt ashamed of bis petulance. Its
all right, George" he said. more geni-
ally than he had spoken for many
day, "but don't want it. Take 1t
away"
He sat for long time and at last
came to a resolution. Alix loved roses.
He would send her enough to bank her
room and he would follow them home.
He went up the avenue to his florists
and stood outside trying to decide
whether it should he one mass OF blood
red or a color scheme. Suddenly the
plate glass caught a reflection and
threw it in his face. Gerry turned.
A four-wheeier was passing. He
could not see the occupant but on top
was a large familiar trunk marked
with yellow girdle. On the trunk
was a familiar label. He stared at
finally danced before his mazed eyes
as the cab disappeared into the traffic.
Gerry stood for long while,
stunned. He saw lady bow to him
from a carriage and afterwards he re-
membered that he had not bowed back.
Somebody ran into him. He looked
back at the flowers massed in the
window, remembered that he did not
need them now, and drew slowly
away. Two men hailed him from the
other side of the street Gerry braced
himself, nodded to them and hailed a
passing hanson. From the direction
Alix' cab had taken he knew the sta
ton she was bound for. As he arrived
on the platform they were giving the
last call for the Montreal Express.
He caught sight of Alix hurrying
through the gates and followed. AS
she reached the first Pullman, some
body raped on the window of the
drawing room. Gerry saw Alan's face
pressed against the pane He watched
Alix stop, turn and climb the steps

is in great? What have you ever done

Spected you once for what you were

Gerry stood, breathing hard, a great
dependency in his heart. Alix went
on pihlesSly. "What have you be-

worker reaches the prize that you can
not attain! The trouble with you is
that you have built your life altogether

1t is q tradition that you can do no
wrong, so you need not exert yourself
to doing anything at all! You are play
ing with ghosts, Gerry. Your party
was over a generation ago"
Alix had calmed down. There was
still time for Gerry to choke her to
good effect. The hour could yet be
his. But he did not know it. Smart
ing under the lash of Alix' tongue he
made final and disastrous false step.
"You try to humiliate me by plac-
ing me back TO back with Alan:' he
said. with his newborn sneer. Alix
appraised it with calm eyes and found
it rather attractive. "Well, let me
tell you that Alan is so small a man
that IL I dropped out of the world to-
day. he'd sail for Africa tomorrow and
think for the rest of his life Of his
escape from you as a close shave"
Alix sprang to her feet. She was
trembling. Gerry felt throb of ex-
ultation. 1t was his turn TO wound.
What do you mean:" said Alix
very quietly, but it was the quiet of
suppressed passion at white heat.
Il mean that Alan is the kind of
man who finds other mems wives an
economy. He would take everything
you have that's worth taking, but not

Alix' eyes blazed at him from her
white face. please go away" she
said. He started to speak. please

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 Aix 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.
