want to ask you something. There's
never been nything-anything to tell
you-or your father, If he was here"
Peter said, flushed and trille awk-
ward. "I'm not that kind of a man.
But there has been that one thing
that one woman"
Flushed, too, she was looking at
him with bright, intelligent eyes.
But I thought she never even
knew"
mo, she never didW
AliX looked back at the gulls.
"Oh, well, then" she said, indf-
ferently.
"Alix, would you like to know about
her?' Peter said bravely. Her name
and everythingT
"Oh, no, please, I'd much rather
not !! she intercepted him hastily, and
after pause she added, "Our mar
riage isn't the usual marriage, in that
way. | mean I'm not jealous, and I'm
not going to cry my eyes out because
there was another wOman-is another
woman, who meant more to you, or

my eyes open, Peter. / know you love
me, and l love you, and we both like
the same things, and that's enough"
Three weeks later he remembered
the moment, AID asked her again.
They were in the valley house now,
and a bitter storm was whirling over
the mountain. Peters little cabin
rocked to the gale, but they were warm
and comfortable beside the fire; the
room was lamp-lighted,, scented by
Alix's sweet single violets, white and
purple, spilling themselves from a
glass bowl, and by Peters pipe, and
by the good scent of green bay burn
ing. The Joyces had had a happy
day, had climbed the hills under
lowering sky, had come home to dry
clothes and do cooking, for Row was
away, and had finally shared an cpl
curean meal beside the fire.
Peter was wrapped in deep content;
the companionship of this normal,
pretty woman, her quick words and
quick laugh her music her gIancing,
bright interest in anything and every
thing, was the richest experience Of
bis life. She had said that she would
change nothing in his home, but her
clever white fingers had changed
everything. There was order now,
there was charming fussing and dust

CHAPTER XII.

Cherry had fiat now in Red Creek
Park" 1t differed from an apart
ment because it had no elevator, no
jantor, no steam heat. These things
were neither known nor needed in the
crude mining town; the fiat building
itself was considered a rather ques-
tionable innovation. 1t was q wooden
building, three stories high, with bay
windows. Cherry had watched this
building going up, and had thought it
everything desirable. She liked the
clean kitchen, all fresh white wood
work, tiles, and nickelplate, and she
liked the big closets and the gas-log.
She had worried herself almost sick
with fear that she would not get this
wonderful place, and finally paid
twenty-five dollars for the first
months rent with a fast-beating
heart. She had the center floor.
But after the excitement of moving
in died away, she hated the place.
She had enough money to hire a maid
now. and she had a succession of slat-
ternly, independent young women in
her kitchen, but she found her freedom
strangely fiat.
Now and then play, straight from
"a triumphant year on Broadway"
came to town for one night; then
Martin took his wife, and they bowed
to half the men and women in the
house, lamenting as they streamed
out into the sharp night air that Red
Greek did not see more such produc-
tons
The effect of these plays was to
make Cherry long vaguely for the
stage; she really did not enjoy them
for themselves. But they helped her
to visualize Eastern cities, lighted
streets, restaurants full of lights and
music, beautiful women fifty gowned.
After one of these performances she
would not leave her fiat for several
days, but would sit dreaming over the
thought of herself in the heroine's
role.
One day she had letter from Alix;
it gave her a heartache, she hardly
own home, of the warm, sweet little
valley whose breezes were like wine,
Of Tamalpais wreathed in fog, and of
the ridges where buttercups and pop
pies powdered a child's shoes with
gold and silver dust. She began to
hunger for home. Nothing that Red
Creek could offer shook her yearning
'or the remembered sweetness and
beauty of the redwoods, and the
great shade of the mouhtain. She
wanted to spend whole summer with
Alix
She was athirst for home, for old
scenes and old friends and old emo
ionsl She had only to hint to Alix
o receive a love letter containing a
ervent invitation. So it was settled.
With sort of feverish brevity Cherry
completed her arrangements; Martin

down or the bench beside her and
putting his arm about her. She
dropped her head on his shoulder, and
so they sat, very still, for a long min
ute. AliX's hand went to her own
SHOULDER, and her fingers frightened on
his, and she breathed deep, contented
breaths, like a child.
Somebody ought to wire Mrs.
Grundy, coaect," she said, after
awhile.
1--WE will defy Mrs. Grundy, my
DEAR" Peter said, kissing the top of
a soft brown braid, "by trotting off
hand in hand tomorrow and getting
ourselves married. Why, Alix, he gave
US his consent years ago-don't you
remember?"
"He did wish it! she said, and
burst into tears
- y
Il seem to be doing things in a
slightly irregular MANNER" she said
to him the next day, when they had
gotten breakfast together, and were
basking in the sunlight Of the upper
deck of the ferryboat, on their way to
the city. 81 spend the night before
my marriage alone-in a small coun-
try house hidden in the woods-with
my betrothed, and propose to buy my
trousseau Immediately after the cere-
mony!'

she watched the gulls, wheeling in the

things to be thankful for" Allx added,
dashing the sudden tears from her
eyes, "and one Is that Dad never knew

But it's just Anne's odd little self

Hong go, and as soon as l can rent

answered, cheerfully. Cherry gets

do you want to go, Alix?" he said,
affectionately.
"Yes, think l do" she answered.
But her eyes watered. 81 do-in

course, it means that / give up every
thing else. l can't have home life, and

five anyway, I'll have to give all that

her frank pleasure.
'Rather l think Cherry's room
was made up fresh last Monday" she
told him.
She had risen, as if for good-nights,
and was now beside the old square
piano, where she had placed the lamp.

said, sadly, sitting on the stool, and
with her eyes still smiling on him,
putting back the hinged cover. And q

"Well. anyway" the girl resumed
hastily, "when it came to reading the

somehow. So Anne's father, my I'm
Gle Vincent, went into it with him to
the extent of about three thousand

"Three thousand I" Peter, who had
been leaning forward, earnestly at

THAT was all. Dad had about
three hundred. Dad did all the work,

"Well?" Peter prompted, as she hes
itated.
"Well. They had a written agree
ment then, giving Uncle Vincent a
third interest in the patent, should it
be sold or put on the market"
''Ha" Peter calculated, struck.
(which, of course, was only little
while before Uncle Vincent died." Alix
went on, with a grave nod. 1.-THE
