crossing the disk OF the disappearing
sun. Alix felt n thrill at his touch.
"Its a sweet little picture, isn't itT
she said. "But you mustn't touch me,
Alan. 1t can't be good for u.s."
$50 you feel It too" said Alan, and
took his hand from her arm.
During the voyage they were much
together, not in dark corners but wag-
ing their battle in the open-two swim
mers that fought each other, forgetting
to fight the tide that was bearing them
out to sea. Alan was not philander-
er to snatch an unrequited kiss. To
him a kiss was the seal on surrender.
But to Alix the game was its own
goal. AS she had always played 1t,
nobody had ever really won anything.
However, it did not take her long to
appreciate that in Alan she had an
opponent who was constantly getting
under her guard and making her feel
things-things that were alarming In
themselves like the jump of ones heart
into the throat or the intoxication that
goes with hot. racing blood.
Alan's power over women was in
voice and words. II he had been hid
eous it would have been the same.
With his tongue he carried Alix away
and gave her that sense of isolation
which lulls a woman into laxity. One
night as they sat side by side, a single
great rug across their knees, Alan laid
his hand under cover on hers. A culver
went through Alix' body. Her closed
hand stirred nervously but she did not
really draw it away. "Alan," she said,
'I've told you not to! Please don't
It's common-this sort of thing"
Alan frightened his grip. You say

never thought it out. Lightning was
common till somebody thought it out.
l sit beside you without touching you
and we are in two worlds. grip your
hand-like this-and the abyss be-
tween us is closed. While / hold you

Alix' hand opened and settled into
his. For a while they sat silent, then
Alix recovered herself. "After ALL"
she said, we're not on a desert island
but on a ship with eyes in every cor
ner."
Alan leaned toward her. "But If
we were, Allx! If we were on a desert
island-you and L"
For a moment Alix looked into his
burning eyes. She felt that there was
fire in her own eyes, too-a fire she
could not altogether control. She dis
engaged herself and sprang up. Alan
rose slowly and stood beside her. He
did not look at her parted lips and hot
cheeks; he had suddenly become Ian
guild. '"That's it." he drawled, "eyes
in every corner. wonder how many
morals would stand without other peo-
ple's eyes to prop them up?"

With the arrival of dessert, to Alix'

Lansings, Waynes and Eltons were
heavy drinkers in town, but it was a
tradition, as Alix knew, that on Red
Hill they dropped it-all but the old
captain. 1t was as though, amid the
scenes of their childhood, they be-
came children and just as n French
man of the old school will not light
cigarette in the presence of his father,
so they would not take q drink for

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
er's window. Gerry's eyes were fas-
tened on a picture that he had long
had in mind for a certain nook in the
library of the town house.
1t was the second anniversary of his
wedding, and though 1t 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 shrug and passed on
to a palatial jewelers. farther up the
street.
For many years Judge Healey had
been foster-father to Red Hill in gen.
eral and to Gerry in particular. With
almost womanly intuition he read
what was in Gerry's mind before the
picture and acting on impulse the
judge crossed the street and bought 1t.
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 pendant of bril-
liants, 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 Allx' hand
as they walked down the stairs to-
gether. She stopped beneath the hall
light. 81 can't wait, dear, l simply
can't" She snapped open the case.
"Ohv' she gasped. Glow dear! How
perfectly dearI You old sweetheartT'
She threw her arms around his neck
and kissed him twice. Then she few
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.
Alix' tongue was rippllng-her whole
body was rippling-wtth excitement
and pleasure. She dangled her treas
ure before their eyes. She laid II
against her warm neck and ran to q
mirror. The light In her eyes matched
the light In the stones. The Judge
took the jewel and laid 1t In the palm
of his strong hand. 1t looked in dan
ger of being crushed. "a beautiful
thing, Gerry" he said, "and we'll cho
sen. Some poet jeweler dreamed thai
twining design and set the stones

"Most satisfactory. But there was a
funny thing there too. They wrote
that while they did not approve OF

finished work had their absolute ac-

"You want my advice?"

Wayne's."

give it to you for your sake. When

you bind him to you with a long con-
tract at any salary he wants. And

The judges face cleared. "Dldn't he

''Not a word. Said he'd explain ac-

of thing takes a lot OF explaining"

and it seems a small thing aud then
it catches your eye and holds it and
you see that it is q little door that
opens on q wide world. 1t has slipped
into the room and become a part of
life."
A strange stiffness followed on Alix'
words. TO the judge and to Gerry 1t
was as though the picture had opened
a window to her mind. Then she
closed the window. "Come, Gerry"
she said, turning. "Make your bow
to the Judge and bark"
Gerry was excited, though he did
not show 1t. "You have dressed my
thoughts in words l can't equal" he
said and strolled out on to the little
veranda at the back Of the house. He
wanted to be alone for a moment and
think over this flash of light that had
followed a dark day. For the first time
In q long while Alix had revealed her
self. He did not begrudge the Judge
his triumph. He knew instinctively
that coming from him instead of from
the judge the picture would not have
struck that intimate spark.
The next day Gerry gave his consent
to Alix' plan for a flying trip abroad,
but with a reservation. The reserva-
ton was that she should join some
party and leave him behind.
Judge Healey heard of this arrange
ment only when it was on the point
of being put into effect. In fact he
was only just in time at the steamer
to wave good-by to Alix. Leaning
over the rail, with her high color, moist
red lips and big excited eyes making
play under golden crown Of hair and
over a huge armful of roses, /Alix

But during the weeks that followed

Gerry had less and less time for golf
and more and more for whiskys and

felt a sort of relief when from far
