Tho Walk Home.

Claudia Marshall sat at the head Of
her stately table in the Palmyra, mute
as statue but for the burning eyes
which followed her Tod. To Innes,
her guest, 1t was tragic presence, Of
brooding solicitude.
Late hours. excitement, might
abridge the life she SO passionately
policed; but she would not demand

Marshall's cigar followed the coffee.
Tony, the white-capped Italian cook OF
the Palmyra, was removing the cups.
1nnes was carrying her double inter-
est, listening to Tod Marshalps broad
sweep, getting new viewpoint as he
minimized the local scheme-feeling
that silent presence at the head of the
table.
Then something drove Claudia from
her mind. What Mr.. Marshall had said
swept a disturbing calcium on Tom.
What If, truly, the river fiasco could
be traced to that overzealous hand? To
Tom, this undertaking blotted out the
rest of related big endeavor; but that

to smite her, wherever she was. Was

simple ostrich? Her brother-assume

A flush of miserable shame came to
her. How they had all been trying to

impulsively, to ask Tod Marshall if he
thought, could he think it probable
that they would fail, when a step that
sent the blood to her face took the
cars stairs at two leaps. Now, in.
