CHAPTER xv--contlnued.)

Ever since the day when she had
seen Dyck Calhoun at Spanish Town
she had been disturbed in mind. Dyck
had shown a reserve which she felt
was not wholly due to his having been
imprisoned for manslaughter. In one
vay ne looked little older. His ply
siaue was as good or better than when
she first saw him on the hills OF Play
more. It was athletic, strenuous. elias
tic. Yet there was about 1t the abandon
ment OF despair-at least OF reckless
ness. That much was to be said for
him, that he had not sought to infiu-
ence her to his own advantage. She
was SO surrounded In America by men
who knew her wealth and priced her
beatty, she was SO much a figure IN
syirginia, that any reserve with regard
to herself was noticeable. She was
enough feminine to have pleasure In
the fact that she was thought desirable
BY men; yet 1t played an insignificant
part in her life. 1t did not give her
conceit.. It was only. like frill on
the skirts Of life. 1t did not play any
part In her character. Certainly Dyck
Calhoun had not flattered her.
That one to whom she had written,
a. she had done, gshould remove him
self from the place Of the deserving
friend, one whom she had not deserted
while he was In jail as criminal
that he should treat her so, gave every
nerve thrill Of protest. At the lodg-
ings in Spanish Town. after Dyck CAL
houn had left. her mother had briefly
said that she had told Dyck he could
not expect the conditions of the Play
more friendship should be renewed;
that, In effect, she had warned him
on. To this Sheila had said that the
killing of a man whose life was bad
might be punishable. In any case,
that thing was In another land, under
abnormal conditions; and. with utter
lack Of logic she saw no reason why
he should be socially punished in ia
maica for what he had been legally
punished for In Ireland. As for the
mutiny, he had done what any honest
man Of spirit would do; also, he had
by great bravery and skill brought
victory to the kings neet in West In
dian waters.
Then Il was she told her mother
how she had always disobeyed her
commands where Dyck was concerned !;
that she had written to him while he
was in jail; that she had come to
jamaica more TO see him than to re-
form Salem; that she had the old Gel
tic spirit Of brotherhood, and she
would not be driven from It. In sud
den burst Of anger her mother had
charged her With deceit; but the giri
said she had followed her conscience,

by well-known varnish-maker. I
put it on as per directions, and for

The only thing I can suggest is
that you apply another coat OF var

to the fact that you applied one

I do not believe the trouble was
caused by poor varnish.
