more and more difficult to turn his

year before had held him back from def

Il was only year ago that the table
talk one night had turned on what was
tocletys religion and he had said, go
tety has no religion nowadays; il has
given up religion for a corrosive philoso-
ply Of nonethics."
He had seen clearly then but not clearly
enough to save himself. He had played
With the corrosive philosophy until he had

with Dublin Castle and the Boy Scouts
went out to guard the men on the return

Countess added proudly.
" The Kings own Scottish Bordorers

X ERRY stood in the hall outside AliX's
VI room for a moment hoping to hear a
sob. a cry, anything for an excuse to go
back Instead he heard the scratch of n
pen but he was too troubled to deduce
anything from that. He went slowly
down the stairs and out into the street.
The biting winter air braccd him. He
started to walk rapidly. At the end of an
hour he found himself standing on de-
serted pler. He took off his hat and let
the wind cool his head II have been

walked slowly back to the avenue and
into his club but he still felt uneasy. y

him. "Who told you to bring that?" Then
he felt ashamed of his petulanCe. Its
all right George" he said, more genially
than he had spoken for many day,
"but l don't want it, Take II away"
He sat for long time and at last
came to a resolution. Alix loved roses.
He would send her enough to bank her
room and he would follow them home.
He went up the avenue to his florists and
stood outside trying TO decide whether 1t
should be one mass of blood red or color
scheme. Suddenly the plate glass caught

Gerry turned. A four-wheeler was pass
ing. He could not see the occupant but
on top was large. familiar trunk marked
with yellow girdle. on the trunk was
a familiar label. He stared at II and the
label stared back at him and finally
danced before his mazed eyes as the cab
disappeared into the traffic.
Gerry stood for a long while, stunned,
He saw a lady bow to him from a car
riage and afterwards he remembered that
he had not bowed back. Somebody ran
into him. He looked back at the flowers
massed I'm the window, remembered that
he did not need them now, and drew slow
ly away Two men hailed him from the
other side of the street, Gerry braced
himself. nodded to them and hailed a
passing hanson. From the direction
AliX's cab had taken he knew the station
she was bound for. AS he arrived on the
platform they were giving the last call for
the Montreal express. He caught sight
of AllX hurryng through the gates and
followed AS she reached the first Pull
man, somebody raped on the window of
the drawing room. Gerry saw Alan's face
pressed against the pane. He watched
Alix stop. turn and climb the steps of
the car and then he wheeled and hurried
from the station
