more and more she realized that 1t
would be difficult. His mood was reck-
less, masterful. Instead of laughing
when she drew back from a proffered
caress, he turned surly. Obstinate
lines that shsl remembered appeared
from his nostIils to the corners Of his
mouth. She was uneasy.
Finally she hit on plan to make
him stop somewhere in her nelghbor-
hood and let her get out Of the car.
She would not come back after that.
There was another car going toward
the city. Now it passed them, and as
often they passed it. It became con-
test of wits. Palmer's car lost on the
hills, but gained on the level stretches.

ice.
II wish you'd let them get ahead,
Palmer. It's silly and it's reckless"

He turned q little glance at her.
What the deuce was the matter with
women, anyhow? Were none Of them
cheerful any more? Here ives Grace
as sober as Christine. He felt OUT
ragged, defrauded.
His light car skidded and struck the
big car heavily. On smooth road per-
haps nothing more serious than broken
mudguards would have been the re-
suit. But ON the Ice the small car
slowed around and slid over the edge
Of the bank. At the bottom Of the de-
clivity it turned over.
Grace was flung clear of the wreck
age. Howe freed himself and stood
erect, with one arm hanging at his side.
There was no sound at all from the
boy under the tonneau.
The big car had stopped. Down the
bank plunged a heavy, gorillalike fig
ure, long arms pushing aside the frozen
branches OF trees. When he reached
the car, O'Hara found Grace sitting
unhurt on the ground. In the wreck of
the car the lamps had not been extin-
guished, and by thar light he made out

"The chauffeur. He's dead, think.
He doesn't answer"
The other members of O'Hara's party
had crawled down the bank by that
time With the aid Of jack, they got
the car up. Johnny Resented lay dou-
bled on his face underneath. When he
came to and opened his eyes, Grace al
most shrieked her relief.

pain twisted his face. II guess I'll get

CHAPTER XIV.

By Christmas day Sidney was back
In the hospital, q little wan, but vail
antly determined to keep her life to it's
mark OF service. She had talk with
X. the night before she left. Katie
was out, and Sidney had put the dining
room in order. X. sat by the table and
watched her as she moved about the
room.
The past few weeks had been very
wonderful to him: to help her up and
down the stairs, to read to her in the
evenings as she lay on the couch in the
sewing room; later, as she improved,
to bring small dainties home for her
tray, and, having stood over Katie
while she cooked them, to bear them In
triumph to that upper room--he had
not been so happy In years.
And now it was over. He drew a
long breath.
II hope you don't feel as it you must
stay on" she said anxicdsly. mot that
we don't want you-you know better
than that"
There is no place else in the whole
world that / want to go to-" he said
simply.
II seem to be always relying on
somebody's kindness TOTO keep things
together. First, for years and years,
it was Aunt Harriet; now it is you"
Don't you realize that, instead of
your being grateful to me, 1t is | who
am undeniably grateful to you? This
is home now. I have lived around

As much as was possible, the hos

the afternoon, services were held in

from the others! What zest for liv-

Sidney half dozen gifts. K. sent her

Under all his gayety he was curious

speeches he would have made to Car

hurt.

friends?'

The temptation was very strong. She
had been working hard all day. The

fresh outdoors called her. And, be-
