She frowned. She had missed the
nine O'Clock train; she must wait for
the train at h%alf-past two. Wait
where? Well, she could only wait
here. Very well, she would wait here.
She would not get Martin any lunch,
and when he ragged she would explain.
She finished her packing and put the
house in order. Then, in unaccustomed
mid-morning leisure, she sank into a
deep rocker and began to read. Quiet
and shade and order reigned in the
little house.
Steps came bounding up to Cherry's
door her heart began to beat a knock
sounded. She got to her feet, puzzled
Martin did not knock.
1t was Joe Robinson. his closest
friend at the mine.

get home to dinner" said Joe. He

"Oh, I hate to 60 away this time
I mind 1t more even than the first

Peter, edging smoothly about q widt
blue puddle, nodded sympathetically
but did not answer.
II envy Alix-'' Cherry said in idle
mischief. She knew that the subject
was not a safe one, but was ~irresist
IDLY impelled to pursue it.
"Alix?' said Peter, after a silence
long enough to make her feel ashamed
of herself.
Eyes. Her young man lives in Mill
Valley, right near home !" elucidated
Cherry.
"Am I Alix's young man?' he asked,
amused.
well, aren't you?'
81 don't know. I've never been any
ones young man." said Peter.
"Whoever the woman who treated
you meanly isl hate her." Cherry
began again. "Unless,' she added,
unless she was very young, and you
never told her!"
He did not answer, and they spun
along in utter silence. But when they
were nearing S~ausalito, Cherry said
almost timidly:
II think perhaps it would make
her happy-and proud, to know that
you admired her, Peter. | don't know
who she is, of course, but almost any
woman would feel that. I shall often
think of that talk we had a week ago,
and-think of you, too. N-n-next time
you fall in love l hope you will be
luckier! 7"
Silence. But he gave her his quick,
friendly smile. Cherry dared not
speak again.
Last stop-all out!" Alix X
claimed. "You get tickets, Peter.
Hurray, there's Martin J"
Unexpectedly Martins big figure
came toward them from the ferry
gate. Some ore from the mine had to
be assayed in San Francisco, and he
had volunteered to make the trip so
that he might meet his wife and bring
her back with him to Red Greek.
Time hanging on his hands in h
city, he had crossed the bay for the
pleasure of the return trip with Cher
nv. He met them b%eamingly. There
was a little confusion of greeting and
geod-bys. Alix and Peter watched
the others at the railing until the
ferryboat turned. Martin smiled over
Anne's head; Cherry, both little
white-gloved hands on the rail, blue
eyes and a CLINT of bright hair show
ing under the daisies on her hat, her
small figure %enveloped in a big loose
coat, looked as if she would like to
cry again.

CHAPTER VIII.

Martins work was in the Contra
Costa valley, and he and Cherry had
a small house in Red Creek, the only
town of any size near the mine. Red
Creek was in g fruit-farming and
dairy region and looked its prettiest
on the spring evening when Cherry
saw it first.
Her little house was a cottage with
a porch running across the front,
where windows looked out from the
sitting room and the front bedroom.
Back of these rooms were a dark lit

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER with his two daughters,
Alix and Cherry, the latter just eighteen
years old, and his niece, Anne, Doctor
Strickland, retired, is living at Mil Val
His closest friend Is Peter Joyce, some
thing of a recluse. Visiting in the VII
entity, Martin Lloyd. mining engineer,
falls in love with and secretly becomes
engaged to Cherry.
CHAPTER TI-While the family is
specializing as to Lloyd's intentions. Cher
ny brings him to supper, practically an
nouncinS her engagement to him.
CHAPTER uI.-Doctor Strickland feels
Cherry is too young to marry and urges
her to wait at least a year, but the girl
coaxes him into agreeing to an immediate
wedding and the ceremony takes place,
the couple leaving at once for Ell Nido,
where Martin Is employed.
CHAPTER IV.-The honeymoon days
over, Cherry begins to feel a vague dis
satisfaction with Martin and the monot-
ony of her daily life.
CHAPTER Vat Mill Valley, Justin
Little, lawyer, becomes engaged to Anne,
the wedding being set for September,
some months distant. Alix visits Cherry
at Ell Nido and the two girls coax Mar
tin into allowing Cherry to go home for
Anne's wedding.
CHAPTER Win her fathers house
Cherry contrasts the peaceful, happy life
there with her rather sordid existence at
81 Nido and realizes that her marriage
has been something of a failure. Doctor
Strickland, feeling that Cherry is not be-
ing fair TO Martin, in that she is unduly
prolonging her visit after Anne's we'd
ding, urges her to return to her husband,
She makes preparations for her departure.
CHAPTER VII.-Peter Joyce tells Cher
ry he has had one grand passion" in his
life, but the woman was not for him. He
does not reveal her name. Cherry rejoins
her husband.
They came downstairs together the
next day in midafternoon, both hated
and wrapped for the trip, for Peter
was to take Cherry as far as Sausalito
in the car, and Martin by a fortunate
chance was to meet them there at the
~ferryboat for San Francisco. Mill
Valley was not more than an hours
ride from the ferry. Alix was to drive
down and return with Peter. Cherry
said good-by to her father on the
porch; she seemed more of a puzzled
child than ever.
i've had a wonderful visit, Dad"
she began bravely. Suddenly the tears
came. She buried her face against
her fathers shabby old office coat and

so troubled in their gaze that a thrill
went through Cherry from head to
foot. He instantly averted his look,
turned to the car, fumbled with the
gears; they were off.
Cherry, tied trinity into a hat that
was all big daisies, was silent for a
while. But when Alix and Anne com
menced an interested conversation in
the back seat, she suddenly said re
