earlier that Spearman had telephoned

a conference that afternoon: and Alan
was certain now that In Spearman's
absence Sheriff. would do nothing
further with respect to his affairs.
Was there no ope whom Alan could
tell Of his encounter with Spearman
in Corvet's house, with probability Of
receiving belief? Alan had not been
thinking directly of Constance Sher-
rill, as he walked swiftly north to the
Drive; but she was, in a way, present
in all his thoughts. AS he approached

morning when Constance had taken

walk and rang the bell.
The servant who opened the door
knew him and seemed to accept his

drew back for Alan to enter. Alan
went into the hall and waited for the
servant to follow. "Is Miss Sheriff.
I'M" he asked.

Through the wide doorway to the
drawing room, Alan could see the
smaller, portiered entrance to the
room beyond-Sherrill's study. The
curtains parted, and Constance and
Spearman came into this inner door
way; they stood an instant there In
talk. As Constance started away,
Spearman suddenly drew her back to
him and kissed her. Alan's shoulders
spontaneously jerked back and his
hands clenched; he did not look away

him impulsively in her surprise.

Her color rose, and her pulse quick

except In the merest commonplaces,
about his relations with Uncle Benny !;
1t was matter in which, she had rec
ognized. they had been opposed; and
since the Quarrels between the old
friend whom she had loved from child
hood and he, who wished to become
now more than a mere friend to her,
had grown more violent, she had pur-
posely avoided mentioning Uncle Ben
