turned, and with laughter and eager.
interrupted talking went back 10 the
house.
Cherry, Peter saw at once, was DIFF
ferent In every way. Cherry was full
of softness, of ready response TO any
appeal, of sympathy and comprehen-
sion. She had been misunderstood,
unhappy, neglected; she had devel.
oped through suffering certain timfd-
ity that was almost shrinkipg, a
certain shy cllnglng to what wab kfnd
and good.
Her happiness here was 40 hourly
delight to both Alix and himself. She
seemed TO flower softly; every day
OF the simple forest life brought her
new interest, new energy, new bloom.
She and Alix washed their hair again,
damned the creek again, tranpsd and
sang duets again. Sometimes thsyl
cooked, often they went into the cid
senseless spasms Of laughter at moth
Ing, or almost nothing.
One evening, when in the sitting
room there was no other light than
that Of the fire that damp July eve
ming made pleasant, about q week
after her arrival, Cherry spoke fer
the first time of Martin. She had
had long letter from him that day,
ten pages written In flowing hand
on ten pages of the lined paper OF a
cheap hotel, with little cut Of the
building standing boldly against a
mackerel sky at the top Of each page.
He was well, he had some OF his din
ners at the hotel, but lived at home
he had been playing little poker and
was luckier than ever. He was look
ing into a proposition In Durango,
Mexico, and would let her know hsw
it panned out.
Peter had been playing the piano
lazily when the letter was tossed to
Cherry by Alix, who usually drove
into the village every morning after
breakfast for marketing and the mall.
He had seen Cherry glance through
1t, seen the little dlstastefui move
ment of the muscles about her nose,
and seen her put it carelessly under
a candlestlck on the mantel for later
consideration. At luncheon she had
referred to 1t, and now II evidently
had caused her to be thoughtful and
little troubled.
Mart may go to Mexicol" she said,
presently, with a sigh.
TO stayI" Peter asked, quickly.
Cherry shrugged.
"As much as he stays anywherel"'
she answered, drily.
"Hml Does that mean youf" Aiix
asked.
II suppose that's the plan," Cherry
said, lifelessly. "He says he'll want
me to join him about the middle Of
August"
