CHAPTER XIV.

T EE scarcely slept that night.
With her letters her maid
brought her message.
Terry's car had been found in the
village garage where, according to
the proprietor, Haines had left it
the previous evening. Nothing at
all had been seen of Terry.
Haines had taken drink in the
village inn, and had gone.
Lee rose listlessly, dressed, and
made her way to TereSa's room.
A maid informed her that Mrs.
Dorice could see no one, as she
was suffering from acute nervous
headache and quite PROSTATE. Lee
left the message, partOok of
scant and solitary breakfast, and
drifted afterward to her husbands
roomsA
Here Frost informed her that
Mr.. Smithers had not enjoyed
good night. He was sleeping still,
and did not wish to be disturbed
at all during the day.
Lee, with Toby at her heels,
went out. 1t was a clear morning
and mild, and she stayed until
luncheon time. The conviction
was growing upon her that Haines
was responsible for Terry's dis-
appearance, and, while she was
genuinely distressed and anxious
she felt curiously disinclined to do
anything further to take other
steps than she had already done.
In the early afternoon a
thumbed envelope, upon which her
name was scrawled illiterately,
was brought to her. The sight of
it brought her heart leaping to
her throat and the startled blood
to her cheeks.
She opened it reluctantly.
Teresa Dorice was with her, and
Lee knew that the pansy eyes,
little narrowed, very hard were
upon her.
The note was the same as a
former one. Just the one word,
"Come," but underlined this time.
Lee tore the paper into shreds
with fingers that shook, and rose.
81 have to 60 out" she said.
81 expect shall be back by tea
time, but don't wait for me-"
Mrs. Doricesmerely nodded. But
as Lee reached the door she said,
casually:

A HONEYMOON for Three---By Anthony Carlyle

taking your love--for giving you
mine!" The red famed in her
cheeks had died again. 81 could
not help that-loving you, and
being loved, mean. But I ought
to have been stronger ought
never to have yielded; ought to
have put you utterly out of my
life. Oh, I've been wrong-dis-
loyal--a traitor"
"Leev' Distressed, infinitely
gentle, his voice quieted the tor
rent of her words. She met his
eyes for a flickering moment
eyes remorseful, troubled-and
looked away in a binding rush Of
tears. "Lee! It has been my
fault-all of it. Oh, child-I've
scarcely thought what it must have
meant for you. I've remembered
only that l love you-that you
love me-that you are mine."
"No-now There was despera-
ton in Lees voice. With an inn
mense effort she steadied it, fac ,
ing him now, her hands against
her breast, very still. "We've got
to say 'good-by'-to-night. 1t
this-has been wrong from the be-
ginning. 1t can't 60 on-we're
neither of US strong enough"
She choked and stopped. Car
son took step nearer.
'Ts anything in life," he asked,
stronger than love?"
For a long moment she met his
eyes, piteously, yet steadfastly.
Then she flung her hands wide.
"Only-fidelity" she said. And
then: "Oh, don't you understand?
That old man-that poor, old
man! He loves me--in his way.
He believes in me. He gave his
honor into my hands-he trusts
me! Trusts me-oh, God"
Her voice broke on a storm of
tears. Carson caught her hands
and held them against his breast.
The light in his eyes was strange,
very wonderful.

"oh-my dear! It's not that l

She stopped. The man drew
her nearer. The look in his eyes
ealmed her suddenly.
T1l let you goa" he answered.
"But Ill never forget. l never
could forget, because-oh, Lee! l
love you more tonight than ever
before"
He released her and stepped
back. Blindly she turned to the
door. He did not move, and with
her hand on the latch she paused
and looked back.
"Good-byw she whispered.
Carson smiled. 1t was an oddly
radiant, very wonderful smile. But
he answered gravely:
God bless you"

and indignant, followed her. J.

catching sight Of Lees face, stop

partaken of in silence, but when
the servants were gone Teresa
looked suddenly, shrewdly across
into Lees eyes. ~,
"Do you know anything more
about this, Lee?" she demanded,
and knew, by the girls quick start,
her heightened color and startled
glance that the shot had struck
home. Nevertheless Lees voice
was quite steady, little con-
temptuous, when she answered:
"Only as much as you dop She
returned the others keen regard
eomposedly. "Why should you
think otherwise?"

was edged, her pansy eyes were
narrowed. "Only-it seems queer,
rather-Terry going off joy-riding

whom she can't tolerate. Besides,

Lee jerked back her chair and
rose. Her eyes were scornful.

ably be back In a few minutes,
now, half starved, and quite OBJ

But her voice lacked conviction.
Her eyes remained troubled, and
Haines's words Of q night or two
ago were still ringing in her ears.
The evening passed restlessly for
both women. By bed-ti' ,e Teresa
was on the verge of Mysteries.
"Terry must be quite madw she
walled. "These pranks were bad

be. there been an accident. Lee,
for heavens sake, can't you do

The shrill voice ceased before
the sudden flame of Lees eyes.
The girl said quietly after a mo-
ment:
''If inaction on my part would
bring about a break in that direc-
ton I would hot lift a fingerr'
She turned away as she spoke,
but Teresa caught fer wrist.

Lees expression remained un-
altered. She freed her wrist and
passed on into her own room. But,
once inside, she leaned for mo-

the door, her face very white, her
eyes dark with apprehension, Te-

cause almost any 2 men and women
viii disagree on sex questions.
AT least that's the sizc-up by Ed
win V. Mckenzie, prominent crimi-
nal lawyer on the Pacific coast.
DO you agree with Mckenzie?
The cases he refers to 'have all
been so-called sex-crimes. They
have involved moral issues of much
discussed nature. Few people in the
street have agreed 6n them. Only
recently, three Supreme court judges
in California were unable to agree
on the status of the enternal triangle
Mixed juries involve the situation
even more"
Woman generally is either very
liberal or very strict on sex and
morals On this subject she forms
very decided opinion, a personal
code that she sticks to through thick
ands thin.
Men usually are more tolerant,
more flexible in their viewpoint
about the deviations of sex from ac-
cepted normal.
1t is this flexibility, often indif-
ference, among men that has com
PEELED woman to formulate strict
code of opinion for her own protec-
ton.
SO reasons McKenzie-that, in a
sex trial, women jurors are harder
to sway from personal convictions,
men more open to argument It's an
interesting biological opinion.
In. these days of frank sex dis
cussion and 1sychoanalysis, argues
Mckenzie, jury is very apt to in
clude women of ultra-liberal view
point, also the conservative minded
lie points out, there have been no
such disagreements in California
t1ais.where there were no fine points
Vi sex morals.
The discussion emphasizes this diff
iIeulty of trial by jury--that Jurors
usually are inclined to give less
weight to law than to personal moral
views and self-created philosophy of
rules and regulations that should
| govern sex questions.
The very fact that women, by an
average superior moral character,
are inclined to disagree with male
jurors l. one of the best arguments
{ ever advanced for including women
m a jury that hears a triangle or
ether sex case.
