Alan; I've been a father I've tried
to win you, but you were not to be
won. I've tried to hold you, but it
takes more than a Wayne to hold
Wayne. You have taken the bit with
a vengeance. You have left such
wreckage behind you that we can
trace your life back to the cradle by
your failures, all the greater for your
many successes. You're the first
Wayne that ever missed his college
degree. | never asked what they ex-
PEELED you for, and / don't want to

the old school is lenient, and proud
of men that stand as high as you stood
in your classes and on the field.
Money! won't talk of money, for you
thought it was your own"
For the first time Alan spoke. "What
do you mean, sir?' With the words
his slight form Strengthened, his ewes
blazed, there was a slight Quvering
of the thin nostrils and his features
came out clear and strong.
J. Y. dropped his eyes. Il may have
been wrong, Alan" he said slowly,
'but I've been your banker without
telling you. Your father didn't leave
much. 1t saw you through junior year"
Alan placed his hands on the desk
between them and leaned forward.
How much have l spent since then
in the last three years."
]. Y. kept his eyes down. "You
know, more or less, Alan. We won't
talk about that. I was trying to hold
you. But today I give it up. I've
got one more thing to tell you, though,
and there are mighty few people that
know it. The Hills battles have never

high on both sides of the water. I'm
not happy man, as you know for all
that. You see, though 1 brought the
name back in the end, l never saw
your grandfather again and he never
knew.
Here are five hundred dollars. It's
the last money you'll ever have from
me, but whatever you do, whatever
happens, remember this: Red Hill does
not belong to a Lansing nor TO
Wayne nor to an Elton. It is the eter-
nal mother of us all. Broken or mend
ed, Lansings and Waynes have come
back to the Hill through generations.
City of refuge or harbor of peace, it's
all one to the Hill. Remember that"
He laid the crisp notes on the desk.
Alan half turned toward the door but
stepped back again. His eyes and face
were dull once more. He picked up
the bills and slowly counted them. Il

ing around. The job cost ten per cent
less than Walton's estimate. IL he'd
come back we'd have hauled him over
the Goals for the blunder. There was
the usual reserve for work in mac
cessible regions and then the people
we did the job for paid ten days

The judge unused. "Was the job
satisfactory to the people out there?"
he asked.
Yes, 1t was" said McDale bluntly.
Most satisfactory. But there was a
funny thing there too They wrote
that while they did not approve of
Mr.. Wayne's time-saving methods, the
finished work had their absolute &C
ceptance."
The judge was silent for a moment.
You want my advice?"
Eyes, not for our own sake but for
Wayne's."
Well" said the judge, I'm going TO
give it to you for your sake. When
you stumble across boy than can cut
ten per cent off the working and time
estimates of an old hand like Walton,
you bind him to you with a long con-
tract at any salary he wants. And
just one thing more: when Alan
Wayne steals cent from you or fifty
thousand dollars you come to me and
I'll pay it."
McDale's eyes narrowed and he
pulled nervously at his cigar. He got
up to take his leave. Judge" he said.
your head is on right and your hearts
in the right place, as we'll l begin
to see that widow business Wayne
sized Us up for a hard-headed firm
when it comes to paying out what we
don't have to and we are. It wasn't

had disappeared. Where, nobody knew.
She might be bird s-nesting in the
swamp or crying over the "Idylls of
the King" in the barn loft. Certainly
she was not in the house. J. Y. Wayne
had seen to that. Stern and rugged of
face, he sat in the library alone and
waited for Alan. He heard distant
screen door open and slam. Steps
echoed through the lonely house,
Alan came and stood before him.
Alan was a man Without being tall
he looked tall His shoulders were not
broad till you noticed the slimness of
his hips. His neck looked too thin
till you saw the strong set of his small
head. In a word; he had the perfect
proportion that looks frail and is
strong. AS he stood before his uncle
his eyes grew dull. They were slightly
bloodshOt in the corners and with
their dullness the clear-cut lines of his
face seemed to take on a perceptible
blur.
J. Y. began to speak. He spoke for
a long quarter of an hour and then
summed up all he had said in a few

Gerry had dignity beyond mere bulk.
He had all the powers of resistance,
none of articulation. Where a pin
prick would start an OK it took an up
heaval to move Gerry. An upheaval
was On the way, but Gerry did not
know it. It was yet afar off.
To the Lansings marriage had al
ways been one of the regular func-
lions Of regulated Iife-part Of the
general scheme of things. Gerry was
slowly realizing that his marriage with
Alix was far from a mere function, had
little to do with q regular life and was
foreign TO what he had always consid-
cred the general scheme of things
Altx had developed, quite naturally,
into a social butterfly. Gerry did not
picture her as chain lightning playing
on a rock. as Alan would have done,
but ne did, IN a vague way, feel that
bits of his impassive self were being
cApped away.
Red Hill bored Alix and she showed
1t. The first summer after the mar
rage they had spent abroad Now
Alix thoughts and talk turned con-
stantly toward Europe. She even sug-
gested a flying trip for the fall, but
Gerry refused to be dragged so far
from golf and his club. He stuck dog
gedly to Red Hill till the leaves began
to turn, and then consented to move
back to town.
On their last night at the Firs Mrs.
Lansing, who was corlpIacently Aunt
Jane to Waynes and Eltons, enter
tanned Red Hill as q whole to dinner.
With the arrival of dessert, to Alix'
surprise, Nance said, Port all around,
please, Aunt Jane"
Lansings, Waynes and Eltons were
heavy drinkers in town, but it was q
tradition, as Alix knew, that on Red
Hill they dropped it-all but the old
captain. It was as though, amid the
scenes of. their childhood, they be-
came children and just as a French
man of the old school will not light a
cigarette in the presence of his father
so they would not take a drink for
drinks sake on Red Hill.
So AliX looked on interestedly as the
old butler set glasses and started the
port. When it had gone the round
Nance stood up, and with her hands
on the tables edge, leaned toward

fair. AS they looked at her the color

stir the clustering tendTils of her hair.
Her eyes were grave and bright with
moisture. Her lips were tremulous.

She sat down. They all raised their
glasses. Little Glen had no wine.
She put thin hand on Gerry's arm.

As Judge Healey, gray-haired but
erect, walked up the avenue his keen
glance fell on Gerry Lansing standing
across the street before an art deal
ers window. Gerry's eyes We're fas-
tened on a picture that he had long
had in mind for a certain nook in the
library of the town house.
It was the secoad anniversary of his
wedding, and though it was already
late in the afternoon Gerry had not
yet chosen his gift for Alix. He
turned from the picture with a last
long look and a shrug and passed on
to palatial jewelers. farther up the
street
For many years Judge HeaIey had
been fOster-father to Red Hill in gen.
eral and to Gerry in particular. With
almost Womanly intuition he read
what was in Gerrys mind before the
picture and acting on impulse the
judge crossed the street and bought it.
While the judge was still in the pic
ture shop Gerry came out Of the Jew
eler's and started briskly for home.
He had purchased a pendant of bril-
hants, eXtravagant for his purse but
yet saved to good taste by a simple
originality in design.
He waited until the dinner hour and
then slipped his gift into Alix' hand
as they walked down the stairs to-
gether. She stopped beneath the hall
light. Il can't wait, dear, | simply
can't" She snapped open the case
"Ohn' she gasped. How dear! How
perfectly dear! You old sweetkeartm
She threw her arms around his neck
and kissed him twica Then she flew
away to the drawing room in search
of Mrs. Lansing and the judge, the
sole guests to the little anniversary
dinner. Gerry Strengthened his tie
and followed.
Al1X' tongue was rippling-her whole
body was ripping excitement
and pleasure. She dangled her treas
ure before their eyes. She laid it
against her warm neck and ran to a
mirror. The light in her eyes matched
the light in the stones The Judge
took the jewel and laid it in the palm

thing, Gerry" he said, "and we'll cho-

while the dew was still on the grass"
After dinner the four gathered in
the library, but they We're hardly seat
ed when Alix sprang up. Her glance
had followed Gerry's startled gaze
He was staring at the coveted picture
he had been looking at in the gallery
that afternoon. It hung in the niche
in which lis thoughts had placed it.
Alix took Ler stand before it. She
glanced inquiringly at the Others Mrs
Lansing nodded at the judge. Alix
turned back to the picture and gravity
stole into her face Then she faced
the judge with a smile.

Alan half shook her as he drew her
thin body close to him. "CleA," he
said, you mustn't. Do you hear? You
mustn't. Do You think 1 want to go

Glen stifed her sobs and looked up
at him with a sudden gravity in her
elfsh face. She threw her bare arms
