A HONEYMOON for Three---By Anthony Carlyle

turned her own away from them;
unexpectedly the memory Of Den

A sharp little pain that was almost

remorse that was almost tenderness.

grew at once soft and grave as they
watched her. Long limbed as ever,
and as carelessly garbed, Terry yet
seemed to have subtly altered. The
too-thin limbs were ever so slightly
rounder, her movements not so awk-
ward. Lee got up rather abruptly
and, following her as she moved
restIessly round the room, linked
hand in her arm.

She pirouetted cheerfully before

II don't know what Mr.. Smithers

the first week Lee was jumpy. ner.
vods and not quite herself. She had
endured q greater strain than she
had guessed; the effect was not easy
to shake of. She knew q tremor
every evening and morning that she
picked up a newspaper, but the Car.
SON affair was soon relegated to the
background and other interesting
events placed before It, SO that grad
ually she mentally relaxed.
In a little while she found II pos
sible Ito appreciate and enjoy her
new position. For the first time
since Tom Dorice's death she was
really free; for the first time in her
life every luxury that any woman
could desire was hers.
Resolutely she turned her face 70
the future and strove to forget the
past--that past in which Denham
Carson had played a part. But
there were moments when she knew
that she never could forget.
Perhaps because Of this and a
sense OF guilt that still fingered she
gave Jason Smithers . good deal
more Of her time and company than
otherwise she might have done. At
first he had appeared surprised,
then fattered and pleased. He
, reused himself to enter into her
moods and the spirit Of her desires
with an eagernsss which touched
and warmed her heart toward him.
There were nights, in the pink
glow of candles and freight. with

There we're mornings when he
watched her, with a wistfulness she
sensed, riding away on the red mare

when she and her father had taken

ness: as, curiously enough, he had
swept hers.
Only on occasions now did she
think OF the ties which bound her
with shrinking. For the most part
they lay lightly upon her; and at
all times Jason Smithers's affection
was unobtrusive. It was not diff.
cult to be happy under such cir
cumstances, and when, a week later
than had been expected, Terry came
to them for her visit, she found Lee
with brighter eyes and pinker
cheeks than she had ever known
her to have.
She regarded her for o few min.

gay voice, but it's good to see you
again-especially looking as you
are now! It strikes me that being
Mrs. Jason Smithers has done you

Lee colored Q little. but her eyes
smiled. Terry gave her Q little
ecstatic squeeze.

THERE was never time that

her. As a child, she had eagerly de-
youred every available BIT Of informa.
tion concerning the wedding journeys
Of the eutire village, and in time II
became q settled thing for each re-
turning bride to subject herself to the
ndmiring questions and worshipful
homage Of little Matilda Jones.
When It was that the idea Of her
own wedding trip first came to her,
she could not tell. but II grew with her
growth and strengthened with her
strength. until 1t became the best part
Of her life. The supposedly necessary
adjuncts Of man and a marriage
never occurred to her.
To be sure. as she grew older, a VII
iage youth would now and then sham

Sunday afternoon, or shyiy 'offer his

black alpaca dress. All this little pile
Of nickels and dimes she had earned
selling blackberries.
She made daily pilgrimages to the
shrine at the top Of the house, and
lovingly fingered her accumulated
treasures. She thought--she was al
most sure-she had enough now.

and regarded 1t with dubious sigh.
1t would have to do--she certainly
could not afford a new dress. But In
some trepidation she did invest In
white cotton cloth and embroidered
edging, and her cheeks grew pink with
the excitement Of making the un
wonted flnery.
Her evenings were especially de
lightful. She would 60 into the parloI

emily turn the pages until she came
to the map Of her own state. Thor'
her slim forefnger would find thu
black dot which stood for the LITTLE
