CHAPTER ~,

She had always been, when he last
saw her, the outstanding beauty of
Syracuse. but he was astounded to be-
hold what the interval of two years
had done for her. She had taken I'D
on herself a new maturity; her figure,
exceptionally graceful, was still slen-
der; but suggestive Of more woman
ly. more inclusive charm.
He was being presented to her
He, who had kissed her a thousand
times. was undergoing the ritual of
presentation land she was smiling at
him with those grave, sweet eyes Of
hers. and calling him by his adopted
name! His mask of protection had
never seemed so slight. so insufficient;

caused by this. threatened his bal
ance and set his nerves on edge; for
tunately. the routine of the conven-
lions interviewed to save him from his
inartlculateness. For one thing. there
was the rite OF introduction to Arm
strong, and after that there was
dash Of promiscuous conversation,
with not little weather philosophy in
It. Then came the memorable hush
caused by the presence of a stranger
whose fads and fancies are still a mat
ter Of conjecture. and out of that hush,
a question, and billiard was suddenly
visited by species of self-hypnosis.
II he had been moved at all by the
sight OF Angela, whom he had loved
as younger sister. he was. by COM
parison. shaken as by whlrlwind by
the sight OF Carol Durant. whom he
had loved as woman. Not on the
he witnessed Angela's severe grief,
had he remotely conceived that this
instant would be so difficult to sur
mount. What In New York had SEEM
ed regeneration. and earlier on this
same evening had appeared very
dubious deception, was rapidly taking
upon itself the color of irremediabe
wrong. His Imagination was aroused
beyond belief; and as he stared in
dumb suspense at Carol. recalling a
thousand episodes and thousand
privileges of the long ago. he was
preyed upon by slow-stealing grim
ness OF despair which left him sick
with misery
She was waiting for an answer
and the others were waiting. too. and
watching him. He felt that guilt was

the tale Of DIcky Morgan. he was
greatly engulfed by the surge Of Dicky

his energy; he was defendant, and
a witness and Judge for Dicky Nor
