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 I'm and he closed
1t. Alix threw back her veil and
looked at him. With quick stride for
ward he caught her to him and kissed
her mouth until she gasped for breath.
With a fash she remembered his own
words, ''If ever kiss you 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

and rushed to the platform. The por-
ter was about to drop the trap on the

Alix and Alan were In the grip Of a
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 food of modern life as they lived
1T was directed.
It was only a 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 a 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.

CHAPTER iV-continued,

Towards the end of the voyage Alix
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. don't
want to play any more. l 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, shut
I'm afraid we can't. You see, I'm
beaten, too. While I 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. II 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 sc
that no officious friend should take hel
by surprise. He went on talking. "Oul
Judgment is calling to us to quit but
1t is calling from days ago." he said
ave wouldn't listen then and it's only
the echo we hear now. We can try
to quit if you like, but when l an
alone l shall call for you, and wher
you are alone you will call for me
We will always be alone except whel
we are near each other. We can
break the tension, Alix. 1t will breal

The slow tears were still crawlin,
down Alix' cheeks. In all her lif
she had never suffered so before. Sh
felt that each tear paid the price Of al
her levity.

him. The scorn he had expressed 70
Aiix for Alan and Aian's nature was
without understanding but 1t was gen.
uine. He knew there were such men
and he ascribed all their acts to de-

none to temperament From moral
laxity there was no appeal beyond the
SIN itself.
The landfall OF Pernambuco awoke
him from reveries and introspectien.
He did not look upon this palm-strewn

difference between the suit filed on
Wednesday and the one begun by
the Federal league against organiz-

one for damages only. while the first
one was an injunction 10 restrain

act If it proves this and RECEIVERS
