CHAPTER xxvlII-continued.

The SUFFICIENTLY of a sick man dis
arms woman: she knows she is safe
and abandons her weapons of attack
and defense as long as the invalid is
taken up with the state of his insides.
Glen was unaffected, even tender, with
Alan as long as he was weak, but as
his strength returned to him she with
drew, one by one and gently. the init
mate attentions woman accords to
babes and the related helpless. But
there was nothing absolute in her with
drawal; it was more a temptation than
a denial, born of woman's innate de-
sire to be pursued. While Alan was
merely convalescent 1t contained a sup
pressed gayety. half demure. half mis-
chievous, but when his full strength
came back and he failed to pursue. the
gayety arrested itself, turned into a
questioning usefulness and ended in
the secret shame and bushes of the
repulsed and undesired.
Glen saw Alan build a barrier
against her, a barrier of little things,
each insignificant in itself but each
lending and borrowing the strength of
accumulation. Alan spent hours with
the old captain, walked, rode and
talked with j. Y. and the judge. Be
tween them, j. Y. and the Judge had
fixed up Liebers affair and Alan had
cabled.
In the midst of women Alan seemed
to be able to forget woman-to forget
her Intentionally. There was nothing
pointed in his avoidance. He kept his
distance from Alix and Nance and
Jane Elton in the same measure as
from Glen. There was thus none of
the single avoidance of the shy swain
who lavishes attentions on all but her
whom he would most dearly sue. Glen,
least vain of beautiful women, sat long
hours before her glass. Never before
had the charms it revealed been ques-
toned, never had she been forced to
close in the ranks and call up the re-
serves, and now she felt at a loss, I'M
accustomed to the ready moves of the
coquette. Glen dropped her face in
her hands and cried.

dreary. In the afternoon Mrs. j. Y.
was besieged to surrender the house
and finally did. Alan had gone to his
room and closed the door. The captain
was plunged in invulnerable slumber.
Somebody raped at Alan's door and
he called, "Come In" The door opened
and revealed Nance, junior. Behind
her was giggling. whispering throng
The spirit of fun danced in Nance's
eyes. Her cheeks were flushed and
her golden head was in disarray ooh,
Cousin Alan" she cried, "grandma's
given us leave for hide and seek and
we're all going to play except mother
and grandma and the captain. Please
come, too, Cousin Alan"
From behind her came a modified
echo, sPleath do, Couthin Alan" Alan
smiled and laid down his book. "All
right" he laughed.
Maple House was a rambling abode
that had grown and spread like the
giant naples that sheltered it. In what
age the captain had demanded a wing
or some bygone Nance a nursery for
her children was chronicled in the an
nails of the house itself, to be revealed
only to the searching. architectural
eye. The key to the rambling struc-
ture lay in the thick-walled dining
room, the parlor, one bedroom and the
kitchen.
From the nucleus of these four
rooms Maple House had grown, i'm
posed and superimposed, until it over
flowed the arbitrary bourne of kitch-
ems and front doors and like some
mounded vine rippled off on all sides,
in vast living room, sunny nurseries
and a broken fringe of broad verandas.

One day in midsummer Alan, to his
disgust, was summoned peremptorily
by McDale & McDale. Half an hours
consultation was all they required and
Alan was pleased to find as he left
their offices that he still had plenty
of time to catch the early train back to
Red Hill. There were only two after
noon trains for that difficult goal.
AS he strolled up the avenue he was
arrested by the sight of tall figure
standing on the curb watching the
swirl Of the traffic The figure was
dressed in heavy whipcord suit and
a Stetson hat uncomprofnisingly
domed in the very form in which it
had been blocked by the makers. A
street gamin yelled, Eli! 1ellers, look
what's got away from Buffalo Bill"
Kemp gazed sad-eyed but unmoved
over his dropping mustaches, doubt
less mourning the passing of the shoot
ing iron and the consequent unanswer-
able affronts of fostered civilization.
Alan elbowed his way across the
stream Of pedestrians and clutched him
by the arm. Kemp whirled around as
If to meet attack, but smiled when he
saw Alan's face. II was jest calcu-
latin on roundup you up" he drawled.
Where did you come from? Where
are you off tor cried Alan, and without
waiting for an answer he hailed a cab,
hustled Kemp into it and ordered 1t
to mis- club. He forgot his early train.
In the club lobby Kemp surrendered
his hat reluctantly to the ready attend
ant and followed Alan across soft car
pets to quiet corner where two enor-
nous chairs seemed to be making con-
fidences to each other. One could
imagine them aggTieved at being inter-
rupted and sat upon.

There were hooks mat were satisfied
and held back from further encroach-
ment and there were outstanding cor
ners that jutted boldly out over the
sloping lawns and threatened further
raid.
Inside, the paths of daily life ran
clearly enough through the maze, but
on their TANKS hung many somber
den for ambush or retreat. Cavernous
closets, shadowy corners, numbered at
tics and half-forgotten interstices Of
discarded space opened dark gorges to
the intrepid, and threatened the nerv-
Gus and unwary with what they might
bring forth. The gods Of childhood's
games themselves could not have
builded better scene for that most
FACILITATING Of sports, hide and seek
on rainy day.
Alan soon entered into the spirit Of
the game. He found himself recollect-
ing things about Maple House that he
had more than half forgotten; strange
byways under the roof; vacant cham

Through this dreamland Of hum
dred children fitted the brood of the
day, marshaled rather breathlessly by
Glen and Alan. Anxious whispers,
the scurrying of lightly shod feet, then
a sudden silence but for the fiutelike
counting of some juvenile 1t, were fol-
lowed by sudden screams and wild
race for the goal. Maple House had
never countenanced the effete and d.
luted sport Of Spy; it was all for
hide and seek, where you had to hold
your man when found or beat him
to the goal.

Clem's was not the only troubled
heart on the Hill. At The Firs Mrs.
Lansing moved restlessly from room
to room and stopped often to read and
re~read crumpled note-Gerry's note
to AliX.
Alix was still in town. Mrs. Lam
sing had written to her and then wired.
Alix replied telling her not to come,
that she wished to be alone. For hours
at time Mrs. Lansing replaced the
nurse at Gerry, juniors, side. He
helped her. She felt that be could help
Alix.
She was almost glad when he devel-
oped some trifiing ailment becoming
to his years. She wired again and this
time Alix came, frightened. Alix was
like wilted flower, but she braced
herself until Gerry, Junior, recovered
into his healthy self. Then she dropped
once more and refused to be COM
forted.
II 1t had not been for Alan, Alix'
trouble would have cast a gloom over
the rest of Red Hill, but 1t was known
that Alan had sought out Mrs. Ian
sing and told her that not even he
knew just how Gerrys battle stood,
but that he did know that there was a
battle and that Gerry would surely
come back as soon as he had fought
his way clear.
So the Hill in general went almost
untroubled on its way trying to forget
that it was still awaiting fulfillment,
and even Alix began to CLEAN little
comfort from the thought that hope
was but deferred. Her heart was sick,
her faith weak, but hope still lived.
She chung through the long days to
Gerry, Junior, and waited.
At Maple House the beating of
young hearts amounted to a din, but
1t was suddenly stilled by a day of
drenching rain. After the very tame
excitement of seeing J. Y. and the
Judge off for the city, gloom settled
In the faces of the children. Cousin
Tom, in rubber boots and coat, came
down the road from Elm House to
hnd company for misery. The barn
was requisitioned and became the
scene of a subdued frolic, but it az

brought glow Of achievement to his
perspiring face. Alan was placed at
the newell at the foot of the great stair
case and duly admonished in treble
voices not to look. The treble voices
rained excited instructions on him, car
ried away by youths confidence in its
ability to teach its grandmother how
to suck eggs. Alan started to count
slowly in sonorous tones. With last
shrek and the patter of many feet the
trebles faded away Into silence.
Alan crept stealthily up the stairs.
Out of the corner Of his eye he caught
sight of the twitching jumpers of the
littlest, who was too fat to quite fit the
retreat he had chosen. But Alan did
not quite see until 1t was too late. The
littlest exploded the vast breath he
had been holding in and plunged head
the newell he stuck out sturdy arm
and held fast. He shouted a pean Of
victory and once more palpitating ST.
lence fell on the house.
Alan wondered If he could find the
way to the little attic. He hurried
along the twisted halls, up tiny fight
of steps, turned, dived through a low,
narrow tunnel and threw open the
long forgotten door. 1t was as though
he had suddenly opened portal on his
own childhood. A great, pensioned

held it. Ancient garments hung from
pegs on the walls and from hooks on
the rafters. A box or two and more
disabled furniture Uttered the floor.
The whole was family lit up by the
light from a little dormer window.
Nothing stirred. Alan drew long
breath. He was not disappointed. No
one had thought to come here but him.
self.
Suddenly bit of the pendent ward
robe was flung aside and an apparition
dashed for the door. Alan sprang in
front of it, threw his arms around it,
held it tight. 1t struggled, laughed,
ceased to struggle, and looked I'D as
Alan looked down.. Clem's face was
very near to his. Her body, still throb-
hing with excitement, was In his arms.
Alan felt such a rioting surge in his
blood as he had never known before.
He wanted to kiss Glen. He felt that
he must kiss her, that there was not
strength enough left in him to do any
thing else. Then his eyes met hers
and he forgot himself and remembered
Glenn His soul cried, "Sacrilege," and
he dropped his arms from about her
and stepped back.
Glen stood before him, dazed. She
was in her stockinged feet. In each
hand she held a little slipper Her
eyes were big and full of the soft re-
proach Of the mortally wounded. Alan
felt ashamed and looked away. He
had to break the silence. "WeIl, you're
caught" he said lamely.
Glen dropped one slipper, threw up
her hand and brushed the disordered
hair from her forehead. Eyes, I'm
caught" she said, and her lip trembled
on the words.
