| ment to Harriet's practically. There
had been a wild day of supplement-
ing, of course, when it was discovered
that there we're two babies instead of
one.
The room, when they escorted Rose
into it, was terribly impressive
place. The spirit of barren, sterile
efficiency brooded everywhere. And
this appearance of baroness obtained
despite the presence of an enormous
number of articles-a pair of scales,
perfect battery of electric heaters
Of various sorts; rows of vacuum jars
for keeping things cold or hot; a small
sterilizing oven; instruments and ap-
planes that Rose couldn't guess the
uses or the names of. Mrs. Ruston,
of course, was master of them all,
and Doris flew about TO do her bid
ding, under a watchful eye.
Rose surveyed this scene, just as
she would have surveyed laboratory,
or a factory where they make some
thing complicated, like watches.
That's what 1t was, really. Those two
pink little objects, in their two severe
ly sanitary baskets, were factory prod
ucts. At precise and unalterable in
tervals, highly scientific compound
of fats and proteids was put into
them. They were inspected, weighed,
submitted to routine of other proc
esses. And in all the routine, there
was nothing that their mother, now
they were fairly born, was wanted for.
Rose kept those ideas to herself
and kept an eye on young Doris, lis
tened to the orders she got, and stud
led alertly what she did in the execu-
ton of them.
Rodney had a lovely time watching
the twins bathed. He stood about in
everybody's way, made what he con-

CHAPTER XIV.
The Only Remedy.

She was in the grip Of an appalling
realization. This moment-this actu-
ally present moment that was going
to last only until she should speak for
the next time-was the critical mo-
ment of her life.
"Roddy :" she said.
He was slumped down in big easy
chair at the other side Of the table,
swinging a restless foot; drumming
now and then with his fingers. Some

dy. The only way to make it free
is to have friendship growing along
side 1t. So when l can be your part
ner and your friend, I'll be your wife
too. But not-not, Roddy, till I can
find way. I'll have to find 1t for
myself. I'll have to go off :"
She broke down over word she
couldn't at first say. buried her face
in her arms, and let deep, racking
sob or two have their way with her.
But presently she sat erect again
and, with supreme effort Of will,
forced her voice to utter the word:
"Ive got to 60 off alOne-away from
you, and stay until find it. If ever
do, and you want me, I'll come back"
The struggle between them lasted a
week-a CHASTITY week, during which,
so far as the surface of things showed,
their life flowed along in its accus-
toned channels. But at all sorts of
times, and in all sorts of places, when
they were alone together, the great
battle was renewed.
The hardest thing about it all for
Rose-the thing that came nearest to
breaking down her courage-was to
see how slowly Rodney came to realize
1t at all. He was like a trapped ami
NAL pacing the four sides of his cage,
confident that in a moment or two he
would find the way out, and then, in
credulOusly, dazedly, coming to the sur
mise that there was no way out. She
really meant to go away and leave him
leave the babies; go somewhere
where his care and protection could
not reach her! She was actually plan
ming the details of doing it! BY the
end Of one Of their long talks, 1t would
seem to her that he had grasped this
monstrous intention and accepted 1t.
But before the beginning of the next
one, he seemed to manage, somehow,
to dismiss the thing as nightmare.
Somehow or other, during the calmer
moments toward the end, practical de-
tails managed to get talked about
settled after a fashion, without the adj
mission really being made on his part
that the thing was going to happen at
all.
"rd do everything could, of course,
to make 1t easier" she said. "We could
have story for people that I'd gone
to California to make mother q long
visit. We could bring Harriet home
from Washington to keep house while
l was gone. I'd take my trunks, you
see, and really go. People would sus-
pect, Of course, after a while, but
they'll always pretend to believe any
thing that's comfortable"
"Where would you 60, really?" he
demanded. "Have you any plan at

But she didn't offer to go on and tell
him what It was, and, after little ST.
lence, he commented bitterly upon this
omission.
