CHAPTER XVII.
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. -i - n
Late hours, excitement, might
-abridge the life she so passionately
policed; but she would not demand
the sacrifice Of his cigar.
Marshall's cigar followed the coffee.
Tony, the white-capped Italian cook Of
the Palmyra, was removing the cups.
Innes was carrying her double inter-
est, listening to Tod Marshal's 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 il, truly, the river fiasco could
be traced to that over1ealous hand? To
Tom, this undertaking blotted out the
rest of related big endeavor; but that
was not the, way her host was looking
al it, He was too courteous to give
her discomfort; he had not said it di-
rectly. But always it met her, rose up
to smite her, wherever she was. Was
1t not egotism, personal pride, that was
making her cover her eyes, like any
simple ostrich? Her brother-assume

levee-nO isolated accidents those.
Hardin's luck!
A flush of miserable shame came to
her. How they had all been trying to
spare her-Eduardo, these kindly Mar
shalls-MacLean! She was turning,
impulsively, to ask Tod Marshall Il he
thought, could he think it probable
that they would fail, when step that
sent the blood to her face took the
cars stairs at two leaps. Now, in
deed, the dinner was spoiled.
That's Rickard. 1 forgot to tell you
that asked him to dinner. He couldn't
get away. He said he'd run in for cof.
fee. Hello, Rickard. Thought you'd
forgotten us!"
She hadn't thought Of that contin-
gency! She found herself shaking
hands with him. Could he not hear her
mind, ticking away at the Maldonado
episode?
OF course he would insist on seeing
her to her tent. Punctillous, always.
Well. she just wouldn't. Perhaps she
could slip out some way. She would
watch Ter chance.

for her lack of self-control. She did
not like the color Of scandal; she
hated smudge. Gerty had said the
whole camp knew: it; knew why the
Mexican woman was In camp! She
did not trust Gerty in anything else;
why should she trust her in that? She
would forget Gerty's gossip.
