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

tense.

Is in great? What have you ever done

Gerry stood, breathing hard, great
dependency in his heart Alx went
on pitilessly. "What have YOU he
come? A monumental timc-servcr on

worker reaches the prize that you can
not attain! The trouble with YOU is

Alix had Gained down. There was
still time for Gerry to choke her to
good effect. The hour could vet be
his. But he did not know it. Smart.
ing under the lash Of Alix' tongue he
made a final and disastrous false step.
'You try to humiliate me by plac.

said. with his newborn sheer. Alix
appraised it with calm eyes and found
1t rather attractive. well, let ME
tell you that Alan is so small man

day, he'd sail for Africa tomorrow and
think for the rest of his life of his
escape from you as 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.
II 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 moi
you"
Allx' eyes blazed at him from hel
white face. "Please go away" she
said. He started to speak. "Please
60 away" she repeated. Her lips were
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 hel
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.

whole being was in revolt against the
situation I'm which he found himself.
1t was after sleepless night-a most
unheard Of thing with him-that he
decided he could let things go no long
er. He went to Alix' room knocked
and entered.
Alix was up, though the hour was
early for her. Fresh from her bath she
sat In sheen Of blue dressing gown
before the mirror doing her own hair.
Gerry glanced around him and into
the bathroom looking for the maid.
"Good-morning," said Alix. "SheS
not here. Did you want to see herr"
He was standing beside an open
window. He could feel the cold air on
his hands. He felt like putting his
head out into it. His head was hot.
"Alix," he said suddenly without look
ing at her, Il want you to drop Alan"
But I don't want to drop Alan,"
replied Alix lightly.
Gerry whirled around at her tone.
His nostrils were quivering. To his
amazement his hands fairly itched to
clutch her beautiful throat. He could
hardly control his voice. "stop play
ing, Alix," he gulped There's never
been divorce among the Lansings
nor wifebeater and one is as near
this room as the other right now"
Gerry regretted the words as soon
as he had said them but Alix was not
angry. She looked at him through mar
rowed eyes. She speculated on the
sensation Of being roughly handled by
this rock of man. There was some.
thing tremendous and impressive in
his anger and struggle for control.
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
you think you are the first woman he
has played with and betrayed?" Ger
rvs lip was curved to a sneer. "A
philanderer. A man who surrounds
himself with furnished regulations"
A dull glow came into Alix' cheeks.
"Philanderers are Of many breeds,'
abe said. "There are those who have
the wit to philander with woman and
those who can only rise to a whisky or
q golf club. Whatever else Alan may
be he Is not t1me-server."
Once aroused ak had taken up the
gauntlet with no uncertain hand. Her
drst words carried. the. war into the
enemy's camp and they were barbed.

Gerry stood in the hall outside Alix'
room for moment hoping to hear a
sob, a cry. anything for an excuse to
60 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
~. 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. 81 have made 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 it
at his elbow. Gerry turned on him.
"Who told you to bring thatY" Then
he felt ashamed Of his petulance. Its
all right, George" he said, more GEM
/; ally than he had spoken for many a
day. "but l don't want it. Take 1t
away"
He sat for long time and at last
came to resolution. Ali4 loved roses.
He would send her enough to bank her
room and he would follow them home.
He went up the avenue to his florist g
and stood outside trying to decide
whether it should lae one mass of blood
red or color scheme. Suddenly the
plate glass caught reflection and
threw it in his face. Gerry turned.
"A four-wheeler was passing. He
could not see the OCCUPANT but on top
was a large, familiar trunk marked
with yellow girdle. On the trunk
was familiar label. He stared at
1t and the label stared balk at him and
finally danced before his mazed eyes
as the cab disappeared into the traffic.
Gerry stood for long while,
stunned. He saw a lady bow to him
from 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 q
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
AK stop, turn and climb the steps
of the car and then he wheeled and
hurried from the station.
Where could he 80? Not to his club
and Alan's. His face would betray
the scandal with which the club would
be buzzing tomorrow. Not to bis big
comfortable house. 1t would be too
gloomy. Even in dsaccord, Alix had
impaired to its somber oak and deep
shadows the glow Of buoyant life.
When she was there one felt as though
there were flowers in the house. Gerry
was seized with great desire to hide
from his world, his mother, himself.
He pictured the scare-heads in the pa
pers. That the name Of Lansing should
be found in that galley! It was too
much. He could not face 1t.
He bought a morning paper full Of
shipping news and, getting into a taxi,
gave the address of bis bank. On the
way he studied the sailinRs' column

Alix and Alan were in the grip of q
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
full flood of modern life as they lived
1t 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;
1t 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 d.
vorced flesh from the soul and now it
was playing with him. He found him.

for AK.
With her, things had not gone so far.
From the security Of the interrupted
she had watched her chosen world play
with fire and only now when tempta-
ton assailed her, did she realize tho
weakness that lies in every woman
once her outposts have fallen and her
bare heart becomes engaged in the bat
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
part of town life People said little
enough. Their eyes were too wide
open watching the headlong rush to-
wards catastrophe.
One early morning Nance sent for
Alan. He found her alone. She had
been crying. He came to her where
she stood by the fire and she turned
and put her arms around his neck. She
tried to smile but her lips twitched.
"Alan." she said, Il want you to go
away"
Alan was touched. He caught her
wrists and took her arms from around
his neck. "You mustn't do that sort Of
thing to me, Nance. I'm not At for it."
He made her sit down on a great sofa
before the fire and sat down beside
her. "You remind me today of the
most beautiful thing ever heard said
Of you-by spiteful friend"
what was it?" said Nance, turning
her troubled eyes to him.
'She said, She is only beautiful in
her own home l never understood
1t before. It's q great thing to be
beautiful in ones own home"
"Oh, Alan" said Nance, catching his
hand and holding 1t against her breast,
1T is a great thing. It's the greatest
thing in life. That's why I sent for
you-because you are wrecking for
ever your chance of being beautiful in
your own home. And worse than that,
.you are wrecking Alix' chances. You

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, Ibid you know when we began
