his office, thinking about the chld
and the fortune which threatened
her.
Weeks, adhering to one another
became months; months totalled
years-several of them, recorded
so suddenly that John Cleland
could not believe it.
/ He had arrived at that epoch
in the life of man when the years
stood still with him; when he Meth
er left himself changing nor ap-
peared to grow older, though all
around him he was constantly
aware of other changing. Yet, being
always with Stephanie, he could
not notice her rapid development,
as he noted the astonishing growth
of his son when the boy came
home after brief absences at
school.
Stephanie, still child, was
becoming something else very ra-
pidly. But stiM she remained
childlike enough to idolize Jim
Cleland and to show it, without
reserve. And though he really
found her excellent company,
amusing and diyerting, her some
what persistent and dog-like dew
otion embarrassed and bored him
sometimes. He was at that age.
Young Grismer, in Jim's hear
ing. commenting upon a similar
devotion inflicted on himself by
a girl, characterized her as too
damn pleasant brutal yet
graphic summary.
And for a while the offensive
phrase stuck in Jim's memory
though always chivalrously repu-
dated as applying to Steuhanie-
Yet, the poor girl certainly bored
him at times. so blind her dew
otion, so pitiful her desire to
please, so eager her heart of a
child for the comradeship deniec
her in the dreadful years of soli-
tude and fear.
For n year or two the affair lay
that way between these two; tho
school boys interest in the little
girl was the interest of polite res
possibility; consideration for mis-
fortune, liberation for her sex
with added allowance for her ex
treme youth. This was the boy'
attitude,
Had not boarding school pnC

might nave terminated.
But he saw her so infrequentl,
and for such short periods; ant
even during the summer vacation
