| furous-he thinks that there is no one
like Cherry"
The words she had said came back
to her, and she said them again, half
aloud, with look of pain and almost
of fear suddenly coming into her
eyes.
peter adores Cherry"
And then she knew. Even while
the sick suspicion formed itself,
vague and menacing and horrible, in
her heart, she knew the truth Of it.
And though for hours she was to
weigh it and measure it, to remember
and question and compare all the
days and hours that she and Peter and
Cherry had been together from the
moment the thought was born she
knew that it was to be with her an
accepted fact for all time to come.
For few seconds Alix felt ill,
dazed, and shocked almost beyond en-
during. She sat immoyable her eyes
fixed, her body held rigid, as a body
might be in the second before it fell
after bullet had tieanly pierced the
heart.
Then she put her hand to her throat,
and looked with a sort of terror at
the silent figure Of Cherry. Nobody
must know-that was Alix's first clear
thought She was breathing hard, her
breast rising and falling painfully,
and the blood in her temples began to
pound; her mouth was dry.
With a blind instinct for solitude
she went quickly and silently from the
sleeping porch, and into the warm sit
ting room. For few minutes Alix
stood. with one foot on the chain that
linked the old brass fire dogs her ell
bow on the mantel, and her cheek
resting against her arm.
"No," she whispered, almost audi

CHAPTER XVII.

When Cherry came out to break
fast, few hours later, she found Alix
already at the porch table Alix looked
pale but fresh and trim; she had evil
IDENTIFY just tubbed, and she wore one
of the plain, wide-striped ginghams
that were extremely becoming to her
rather boyish type.
She looked up, and nodded at
Cherry composedly. Cherry always
kissed her sister in the morning, but
she did not today. She FELT troubled
,and ashamed, and instinctively avoid
ed the little caresS.
"NO men?" she asked, sharing her
grapefruit with her mail.
"Peter had to go to San Rafael
with Mr. Thomas in his car, to do some
thing about the case" Alix explained
81 drove them down, and at the last
minute Martin decided to go. So l
marketed, and got the mail, and came
back, and the understanding is that
we are to meet them at the st. Fran
els for dinner, at six, and go to the
Orpheum."

made some iRarticulate sound that
made Alix look at her in quick con-

Cherry, what is it?" she exclaimed.
For answer Cherry tossed her the
letter written on a thick sheet of Law
ender paper, which diffused a strong
odor of scent.
"RPad thati" she said, briefly.
Fearfully. Alix picked up the per.
fumed sheet and read, in a coarse and
yet Enthusiastically feminine
the following words:

Silence and darkness. But even In
that gloom Alix could tell the fog was
lifting, and a sudden sweep Of breeze,
like tired breath, went over the tops
of the redwoods.
Steadily came the change. The dark
ness, by imperceptible degrees, lifted.
Light" Alix whispered, awestruck.
And a few moments later she added,
Dawn !"
1t was dawn indeed that was creep
ing into the valley, and as it bright
ened and deepened and warmed mo-
mentarily, Alix felt some Of the peace
and glory of it swelling in her tired
heart. She was still sitting on the
log dreamily watching the expanding
beauty of the new day, when there
was a crashing in the underbrush be-

twigs and dried brown grasses on his
wet coat, Buck came bounding out of
the forest, and leaped upon her.

beside her, his quick tongue flashing
ecstatically, close to her face, every
splendid muscle Of his body wriggling

whispered suddenly. "Peter, who has
always been so good to me-so gen.
erous to me-and it was Cherry all
the time! Even those years ago,
when we used to tease him about the
lady with the crinolines and ringletS,
it was she. But why didn't he ask her
instead of me?' wondered Alx. and
with an aching head and a frowning
brow she began to piece it all to-
gether.
The terrible truth rose triumphant
from all her memories. Sometimes for
a second hope would food her with
truth shut down upon her again, and
hope died. and she realized afresh that
sorrow, stronger than before, was
waiting to seize her again.
"Weil-I can't stand it in here =!
AIiX said, suddenly. She crossed to
the door, and opened it, and slipped
noiselessly out into the night, catch
ing coat from the rack as she
passed.
The night was wrapped in an ocean

but the air was soft and warm. With
no goal in view, AliX climbed upward,
walking rapidly, breathing hard, and
frequently speaking aloud, as some
poignant thought smote her. or stand

unexpected rush of emotion, to move.

told herself, sitting down in the inky
dark, on log against which her wild
walk had suddenly brought her. for
We are all married people, and we all
love each other. But oh, am so sor-
ry! ! am 50 sorry, Peter" she whis-
p"red, as if she were speaking to him.
You couldn't help it, l know that.
She is so pretty and so sweet, Cherry
and she turns to you as if you were

She got to her feet and went on.
What am l thinking about--it's alb.

clear. Words, glances,

to her. Cherry's confusion of late,

with eager affection. did you miss
me, old>fellow? Did you come to find
me?"
She had not cried during the long
vigil of the night, when a storm had
ragged in her heart, and had left her
weak and sick with dread. But there
was peace now, and Alix locked her
arms about the dogs shoulders, and
laid her face against his satiny head,
and cried.

ING one hour of immediate departure,
| Ahd during the next of an apparently
termless visit; all these were sgnti-

hao SAID. And Immediately after that.

about Allx's rights and her eagerness

Perhaps" thought Alix, "he realized
that she was that sort of a nature, she
must love and be loved, or she cannot
live! But why did he let her marry
Martin, and why wasn't he here to
keep me from marrying Peter? What
a observation-disclosures wee made of it
all !"
AS she used the term, she realized
that Cherry had used 1t, too this same
evening, and fresh conviction was
added to the great weight of convic-
ton in her heart.
"Oh, Peter-Peter-Pet she
moaned, writhlng as the cry escaped
her. "Why couldn't 1T have been me,

she said softly, aloud, mo wife ever

when he had told her that she loved
him much as she loved Buck, and that

than healthy child. 81 may be a
'hild,' said AliE, feeling that a dry
flame was consuming her heart, "but
Il child can love! My dear-my dear
81 wish l could cry" she said sud-
denly finding herself sitting on log
where low oaks met the forest and the
open meadows. But now we must
face this thing sensbly. What is to
be done? They must not know that l
know, and in some way we must get
out of this tangle. Even If Peter were
free, Cherry would not be free" she
decided land so the only thing to do
is to help them, until it dies away"
No suspicion of the truth stabbed
her, although she remembered Martin
and his strange tale of a message and
wondered about it a little in her
thoughts. To whom had Cherry been
sending that telegram if not to Peter?
And if to Peter, why had she not |
simply telephoned? Because she had
known that Peter was not in his of |
fee, because she had been going to |
meet him somewhere. But where? |
Well, at the boat. Martin had heard |
her tell the boy that he must eaten |
the boat.
Alix did not guess the truth. But |
she guessed enough to make her feel |
frightened and sick. She could not |
suppose that Cherry and Peter had |
planned to go away on that boat to-

would have grasped the idea of one or
