rain fishing somewhere downstream.

She stood by the open fire in the cen
ter of the hallway, holding her shapely
hands out toward the blaze, while her
maid relieved her of the wet rain-coat.
Splice what, Colonel HyssOp, if you
please:" she inquired, smiling.
Splice our rods, madam-no creaky
joints and ferrules for old hands like
Major Brent and me, ma'am. Do you
throw a fly?"
"Oh, no." she said, with faint smile.
II do nothing
Except to remain the handsomest
woman in the five boroughsl' said the
Major, with a futile attempt to bend at
the waist-utterly unsuccessful, yet i'm
pressive.
She dropped him courtesy, then took
the glass of sherry that the steward
brought and slipped it, meditative eyes
on the blazing logs. Presently she held
out the empty wine-glass; the steward
took it on his heavy silver salver; she
raised her eyes. A haIfIength portrait
OF her husband stared at her from over
the mantel, lighted an internal red in
the fire-glOw-
catch in her throat, a mOmentary
txitch of the lips, then she gazed calmly
up into the familiar face.
Under the frame of the picture was
written his full hyphenated name; fol-
lowing that she read:

she said, after moment; '>he never told
me that"
'sThose who knew him best understood

''He was not only president and

barrassed, fearful Of posing as Lady
Bountiful before anybody. She added,

MAG AZINE SECTION

They mounted the steps of her house;
she turned and swept the dim avenue
with casual glance.
so you, too, are going north?" she
asked, pleasantly.
''Yes-tOnight"
She gave him her hand. She felt the
pressure of his hand of her gloved fingers
after he had gone, although their hands
had scarcely touched at all.
And so she went into the dimIy lighted
house, through the drawing-room, which
was quite dark, into the mushroom be
yOnd; and there she sat down upon
chair by the piano-a little gilded chair
that revolved as she pushed herself idly,
now to the right, now to the left.
Yes, . after all, she would go; =.
she would make that pilgrimage to the
spot on earth her husband loved best
of alI-the sweet waters of the Saga
more, where his beloved club lodge stood,
and whittier. for a month every year, he
had repaired with some old friends to
renew a bachelors love for angling.
She had never accompanied him on
these trips; she instinctively OWNED
mans desire for a ramble among old
haunts with old friends, freed for
brief space from the happy burdens of
domesticity.
The lodge on the Sycamore was now
her shrine; there she would rest and
think of him, follow his footsteps to his
h
ers where he had wandered, dream by
the streams where he had dreamed.
She had married her husband out of
awe, sheer awe for his wonderful per
sonality. And he was wonderful; fault
less in rything-thOugh not SO fault
less as to be in bad taste, she often told
herself. His encourage also was fault
less; and the general faultlessness of
everything had made her married life
very perfect.
As she sat thinking in the darkened
MUSHROOM, something stirred in the
hallway outside. She raised her eyes;
the white bull-terrier stood in the lighted
doorway, looking in at her.
A perfectly incomprehensible and re
sistless rush of loneliness swept her to
her feet; in a moment she was down on
the floor again, on her silzen knees, her
arms around the dog, her head pressed
tightly to his head
"Oh," she said, choking, 81 must go
tomorrow must-I must. And
here are the viOlets; -. viii tie them
to your collar. Hold still =. He
loves you; =. but you shall not have
them-do you hear? No, no for

odor; =. and, anyway, am going
away"

The next day she began her pilgrim
age; and His FIighness went with her;
and a maid from the British Isles.
She had teIegraphed to the SagamorC
Club for rooms, to make sure, but that
was unnecessary because there were al

march! No, not that; for while she
stood, coldly transfixed in centred self
absorption, she seemed to see a shape
less mass of wreaths piled in the twi-
light of an altar-the dreadful pomp and
panoply and circumstance of death
She raised her eyes to the man beside
her; her whole being vibrated with the
menace of a dirge, and in the roar of
traffic around her she OWNED the i'm
prisoned thunder of the organ pealing for
her dead.
She turned her head sharply toward
the west.
What is it?'' he asked, in the voice of
man who needs no answer to his ques-
ton
She kept her head steadily turned
Through Fifteenth Street the sun poured
a red light that deepened as the mist
rose from the docks. She heard the river
whistles blowing; an electric light broke
out through the bay haze.
It was true she was thinking OF her
husband thinking of him almost des-
perately, distressed that already he
should have become to her nothing more
vital than a memory.
Unconscious of the man beside her, she

that receded and seemed to dwindle TO a
point of utter vacancy
Then her husbands face grew out of
vacancy, SO real SO living, that she
started-to find herself walking slowly
past the fountain with Langham at her
side.
After a moment she said: "Now we
have walked all around the square. Now
I am going to walk home; and
was probably as wholesome a perform
ance as 1 could have INDUCED in-and
quite unconventional enough, even for
you"
They faced about and traversed the
square, crossed Broadway in silence,
passed through the kindling shadows of
the long cross-street, and turned into
Fifth Avenue.
"You are very silent" she said, sorry
at once that she had said If, uncertain as
to the trend his speech might follow, and
withal curious.
st was only about that dog" he said
She wondered if II was exactly that
and decided it was not. 1t was not. He
was thinking of her husband as he had
known hin-only by sight and by re-
port. He remembered the florid gentle
man perfectly; he had often seen him
tooling his four; he had seen him at the
traps in Monte Carlo, dividing with the
best shot in Italy; he had seen him rid
ing to hounds few days before that
fatal run of the Shadowbrook Hunt
where he had taken his last fence. Once
too, he had seen him at the Sagamort
Angling Club up state.
'When are you goings" he said, sud
denly.

The next day she began her pilgrim
age; and His Highness went with her;
and maid from the British Isles.
She had teIegraphed to the Sycamore
Club for rooms, to make sure, but that
was unnecessary, because there were at
the moment only three members OF the
club at the lodge
Now although she herself could scarce
" be considered a member Of the Saga
more Angling Club, she still controlled
her husbands shares in the concern, and
she was duly and impressiveIy welcomed
