The curb rein, that last refuge Of
poor horseman, hung loose and forgot
ten. Alan himself was dressed in
well-worn whipcord breeches, short
coat, soft hat, and close-fitting boots
adorned with rowelless spurs. For
his health Red Hill had deEe wonders.
His body was trim, supple and as vi
brant as the young horse under it.
But Alan's thoughts were far from
saddles and saddle gear as he walked
the FESTIVE animal down the dipping
slope Of Long lane and with his riding
crop steadily discouraged the early
morning flies, intent on settling down
to the business Of life on his mounts
arched neck and quivering quarters.
He was thinking of Glenn. Where could
he go to get away from Glenn? Not
tomorrow, not sometime, but today.
Where could he go today? Once the
world had seemed to him fenceless
pasture where it was good to wander,
where every undiscovered glade prom
Used fresh morsels to an unwearied
palate, but now in his mind the whole
world had shrunk to the proportions
of Red Hill. Where Glenn was, there
was the whole world. Already he felt
the yearning with which his heart
must henceforth turn to its sole desire.
He crossed the valley, and, as his
horse breasted the opposing hill, he
thought he heard an echoing hoofbeat
behind him. He turned and with one
hand resting on the horses quarter
gazed back through the gray light, but
Long lane was yelled from view by
overhanging trees. AS he lifted his
hand, its impress, clearly defined as
an image, caught his eye. How strange!
He had ridden a thousand times and
he had never noted such a thing be-
FORE 1t was simple when reduced to
physical terms. The horse was warm
and moist, the hair cool and dry. His
hand pressed the hair down into the
moisture. But when he had reasoned
out the why and wherefore and tick
eted the phenomenon, the impress still
stared back at him. To his mood 1t
seemed an emblem Of isolation, thing
cut off, discarded, useless. With a
smile of rebuke at his fancies he
touched the horse with his crop and
gave him his head. The horse sprang
forward, cleared the top of the hill,
and the rhythmic clatter Of his hoofs
as he dashed along the pebble-strewn
road seemed to cleave the still morning
in two.

whose eyes hold the shadows Of unfor-
gotten SINS"
"Well?" said Glen.
Alan sighed. Between the lines Of
my words you must read for yourself.
My smile is dead killed it long ago.
Yours is alive-alive. You have kept
it pure, guarded its flame and you
shall hold it high like a beacon. You
are ready to give all and you have all
to give. have nothing but the empty
shell. I have kept nothing. 1 have
gained the whole world-and lost it.
The little strength left to the pinions
of my soul could carry me up to clutch
your beacon and drag it down, but
CIem-dearest Of all women-I love
you too much for that. You've got TO
trust me. The things know that you
do not know shove the duty of denial
on to my shoulders. l could give you
an empty shell, but I won't"
Alan had not looked at Glen. He
had talked like one rehearsing a les
son, with his eyes far away in the gray
world. He dropped the bit of bush,
and his hands, locked about his knees,
gripped each other till the knuckles
and fingers showed white against the
tan of his thin wrists. When he
stopped speaking Glen turned curious
eyes upon him. rs that all?" she
asked.
Alan sprang up and faced her. "All?
All?'' he cried. Isn't it enough?'
Glen rose to her feet. In her uplift-
ed right hand she held her agate
headed riding whip. Alan's eyes fas-
tened on it as she meant them to do.
Then, with full, free swing, she flung
it from her. The whip. weighted by
the agate head, described a long curve
through the air and plunged into the
brush far down the mountain side.
That" Glenn cried, her eyes flashing
into his, "for the beacon. / kept it for
you. 1t was too good for you; you
would not take 1t, so there 1t goes"
Her lips trembled and she snapped her
fingers. cit is not worth that to me"
Glenn cried Alan, protesting
Don't speak" said Glenn; you have
said what you had to say. Now listen
to me. You are blind, Alan, or worse
than that, asleep. I'm not a thin
legged elf with skirts bobbing above
my knees any more. You can't make
me swallow my protests today with.
elem, you mustn't this and you
mustn't that There's one thing you've
closed your eyes on long enough. I'm
a woman, Alan, bone, spirit and a
great deal OF flesh. / love you, and
you say you love me-"
Alan started forward, but Glenn held |
him of with a gesture. What do you

But Glenn only laughed. Her slim
body swayed to the bends OF the road;
her shoulders were braced; she leaned
slightly back, steadying her horse with
taut rein. Alan tried to draw even,
but every time he urged his horse into
a squirt Clem's spurted too. Alan grew
angry. He watched Clem's whip, but
1t never moved. He settled into the
saddle and rode blindly. His horse
must catch up or he would kill him.
He was gaining. A moment more at
the same pace and he could reach
Clems reins below her horses neck.
Then Glenn swerved again into a half
hidden wood-road and Alan's horse
plunged through the brush, broke out,
and followed, a poor second.
Alan's face and hands were badly
scratched, but he rode on doggedly. 1t
never occurred to him to give up the
chase. In the end he would catch up;
he knew that, but what puzzled him
was what he should do to Glenn when
he caught her. Anyone else, man or
woman, he would give taste of their
own riding whip for their own good,
but not Glenn. Alan suddenly knew
that there was something in Glen
that a man could not break.
The wood-road made gradual
ascent that the willing horses took at
a steady, hard gallop. They left the

Alan did not draw rein until he
reached the top of the bluff dividing
the valley from West lake. Then for
a moment he sat and stared down the
long slope. There was smell Of mois-
ture in the air The valley, the whole
world, was expecting waiting for rain,
and even as he stared the rain came In
a fine, veillike mist that steadied the
tones of earth and sky to one even
shade of endless gray. Out Of the gray
came the click of iron on pebble. Alan
recognized the quick, springy tread
of climbing horse. He turned and
faced Glen. He felt the slow color
rising in his cheeks and his hands
trembled.
They did not smile at each other;
they even forgot to say good morning.
Alan licked his thin lips. They were
as dry as ever they had been with
fever. "Where's your hatT he asked.
A flicker of amusement showed in
Clem's eyes She was quite calm and
she could see'that Alan was not, that
he was biting his tongue at the feeble
words he had saddled on a heavy mo-
ment. Hats are for sunny days." she
said. al like rain on my head. Have
you anything special to do? Don't let
me bother you"
"No," stammered Alan, nothing
that can't be put off,"
do you remember" Glenn went on,
years ago l asked you to take me
for a ride, and you said not then but
sometime? I've never had my ride
with you. want 1t now"
Her eyes were fixed on his and held
him. II am ready" he said through
dry lips.
She turned her horse and he fol-
lowed They rode in silence at walk
and then at rrot. Glenn turned into
wood-road. Her horse broke into a
gallop. She fiicked him with her whip
and his gathered limbs suddenly
stretched out for free run. The go
ing was soft. Alan had fallen behind.
Clots of moss loan struck him in the
face. Swaying branches showered
drops of water on him. He lost his
hat. Then his lips frightened, his eyes
flashed and he began TO ride. He was
himself again.
He urged his horse forward, but he
could not get on even terms; Glenn held
the middle of the narrow track. Sud
denly they burst into the broad Low
road. With a terrific chatter of flying
stones and slipping, scrambling hoofs,
they made the turn. Alan rode at last
on Clem's quarter "Clem," he cried,
stop. 1t isn't fair to the horses"

When Glenn and Alan reached home
long after the lunch hour they found
the Hill athrill with news. Alix had
received a cable and had left at once
for town. She had gone alone. That
could mean but one thing-Gerry was
at last coming back.
1t was from Barbados that Gerry
had cabed. Ever since he had written
his short note TO Alix, through long
doubling weeks at Piranhas and longer
days of questioning and hesitation on
board the slow freighter that was
bearing him home, Gerry had been
fighting himself. Only Lieber's sudden
death and his burial, to which Gerry
had ridden post-haste, had come in be-
tween as a solemn truce.
On the freighter he had had time
enough and to spare to think. He had
spent hours going over the same
ground time and time again. For days
he sat in his chair on the short bridge
deck, staring out to sea, making over
and over the circle Of his life from the
time he had left home. He remem-
bered sitting thus on the way out He
remembered the turmoil his mind had
been in and the apathy that had fol-
lowed, the long rest at Pernambuco,
the trip down the coast and up the
river, the glorious, misty morning at
Piranhas, Margarita, catastrophe,
awakening. What did that awakening
stand for? Again he thought, If he
could choose-would he wish to be
back as he was before-as he was on
the way out? A voice within him said

"Yes, Alan" said Glenn as he paused.
She was no longer imperious, only at
tentive, with chin in hands and elbows
on knees.
"You know me-" went on Alan, "but
there are things about me that you do
not know-things below you that you
have no understanding for, thank God.

Eyes. Alan" said Glen softly.
Alan picked a bit of huckleberry
bush and twisted it nervously in his
hands. First of all I've got to tell
you what l thought you knew. that
what there is of me is yours over and
over again, and then I've got to tell
you why you can't have it," A light

tell you that they have never pandered
to a ribald jest or added cruelty to de-
NAL. They are live smiles and they
are rare among women and rarel
among men. For one such you'll find
thousand living faces with dead
smiles-smiles that have scattered
their essence like rain on the just and
the unjust, that have rolled in filth and
| wasted their substance on the second

tree-line of the valley below them,
scurried across an ancient clearing,
pushed through brush and branches,
and burst out on to the long, bald back
Of East mountain. Then came another
clear run over crisp sod dangerously
interspersed with wet, slippery stones
and hindering powders.
At the highest point in all the coun-
tryside Glenn suddenly drew rein and
slipped from her horse before Alan
could reach her. She stood with one
arm across the saddle-horn and waited
for him.
Alan threw himself from his horse
and rushed up to her. His hands were
itching to grip her shoulders and shake
her, but he held them at his side.
What did you do it -for?" he asked
with blazing eyes.
Glenn looked him over coolly. ever
run after anyone before, AlanW
"What?" suffered Alan. He felt
foundations slipping from under him.
Here was person who could look Ten
Percent Wayne at his best in the eye
and never turn a mental hair.
"How do you like it?" continued
Glen in an even, firm voice. Then she
turned her square back to the saddle
and faced him fairly. "I'll tell you
what I did it for. All my life I've been
running after you. Last night I heard
you packing. 1 knew what you were
doing-you were getting ready to go
away. Before you went | wanted you
to run after me-just once. A sort
of consolation prize to pride"
Alan's face hardened. "Stop, Glenn.
You can't talk like that to me and you
can't talk like that to yourself" He
looked at Glenn and the blood surged
into his neck and face. At that mo-
ment Glenn was beautiful to him be-
yond the widest dreams Of fair
women.
Her right arm was still hooked
over the double horn of her saddle
and her left hand holding a slim rid
ing whip hung at her side. To the vel
vet lapels of her coat chung little drops
of rain. Her hair was braided and
firmly tied in a double fold at the back
of her neck, but short strands had
escaped from durance and played
about her head. Her head, like the
velvet lapels, was busted with little
silvery drops of water and little drops
of water perched on her long, upturned
lashes. Her cheeks were flushed. her
bosom agitated, her lips tremulous.
Only her eyes were steady.
Alan took off his coat and threw 1t
over a rock. "WiIl you please sit down?
I must talk to you"
Glenn strobe to another rock and sat
down. you are absurd. Your coat
Is as wet as the stones. Put 1t on"
Alan hesitated. PUT your coat on"
Alan obeyed: then he sat down be-
fore her, but turned his eyes away and
gazed rather vacantly over the whole
wet world. eff ever two people have
known each other without words,
Glen, it's you and me. Never mind
the grammar. Even unshackled words
are a dribbling outlet for full heart.
