CHAPTER XVIII.

Saturday came, perfect day that
filed the little valley to the brim with
golden sunshine. Alix, driving alone
to the mountain cabin, stared in the
morning freshness at the blue over
head and said aloud, "Oh, what a day
of goldl !"
The dog, sitting beside her on the
to her voice, and she laughed at him.
But the laugh was quickly followed
by sharp sigh.

ry-my little sister there can be no
happiness for you therel And Peter
Peter is left behind to me, who can
not comfort him or still the ache that
Is tearing his heart My two loved
ones, and what can do to help them !"
She had come up to the cabin to do
the usual last little daily fussing
among the ducks and chickens and to
bring Peter, if Peter had not gone into
town, back with her to Cherry's house.
They had all dined in the old Strick-
land house the night before, and be-
cause of a sudden rainfall had decided
to spend the night there, too. The
Chinese boy who had been helping the
sisters with their housekeeping had
been persuaded to cook the dinner and
get breakfast, and the evening about
the old fireplace had been almost too
poignantly sweet
But suddenly, at about ten O'clock
Peter had surprised them all by get
ting to his feet. He was going up to
the cabin, he said-must go. in fact
He would rather walk, please, he told
Alix, when she offered to drive him
up in the car. Bewildered and little
apprehensive, she let him go. To Cher
ry, who Seemed to feel suddenly sad
and uneasy, Alix laughed about it, but
she was secretly worried herself, and
Immediately after breakfast the next
morning decided to run up to the cabin
In the car and assure herself that
everything was right there.
Cherry, who had not slept and who
was pale, had come out to the car
her distracted manner increasing Alix's
sense that something was gravely
amiss. She started on her trip with
a heavy heart, but the half-hour's run
scothed her in spite Of herself, and
now she reached the cabin in much
more cheerful mood.
Peter was nowhere about, and as
she plunged into the work of house
and farnyard she supposed, without
giving the matter conscious thought,
that he had gone to the city.

all that mattered. They spoke con-
fusedly, in brief monosyllables, and
were silent, their eyes meeting only
furtively and briefly.

dence in that hour, none in the dis
tressed hour at the Orpheum, and the
hour just past, when Cherry's rarely
displayed passion had wrenched from
him his last vestige of doubt.
But this was the eliminating unhap-
Alix's brave and gentle and generous
look as they parted, that Alix knew.
He had, in the wild rush and hurry
of his thoughts, no time now to analyZe
what their love must mean to her, but
it hurt him to see on her happy face
those lines of sternness and gravity
to see her bright and honest eyes
Swallowed with that new look of pain.
1t was too late now to undo it; he
and Cherry must carry their desperate
plan to a conclusion now, must dis
appear and forget. They had tried, all
this last dreadful week, they had both
tried, to eXtinguish the flames, and
they had failed. But to Peter there
was no comforting thought anywhere.
Wrong would be done to Martin, to
Alix, to Cherry--and more than even
these, wrong to himself, to the ideal
of himself that had been his for so
many years, to the real Peter Joyce.
listen, that's Buck!" said Cherry,
as the dogs loud and violent barking
reached them from beyond a turn In
the twisting road. HE didn't catch
them, then"
The next instant woman came up
the road, running and making a queer,
whimpering noise that Cherry never
forgot. She was a stranger to them,
but she ran toward them, making the
odd, gasping noise with much dry
mounting, and with wild eyes.
Horror was in her aspect, and hor-
ror WIS the emotion that the first
glimpse of her awakened vaguely in
their hearts, but as she saw them she
suddenly found voice for so hideous
scream that Cherry's knees failed her,
and Peter sprang forward with u shout.
He gripped the woman's arm, and
her frantic eyes were turned to him.
"Oh, my God !" she cried in hoarse,
cawing voice. My God They're over
the bank-they're over the bank !"
"Who?' Peter shouted, his heart
turning to ashes.
"Oh, the car-the automobile ~ the
woman mouthed. "Oh, my God--I saw
it goi l saw it fall Oh. God, save
them-oh, GOD, take them; don't let
them suffer shat way!'
They were all running now, running
with desperate speed down the long
road, about the curves, on and on to-
ward the frantic noise of the dogs
barking, and toward another noise.
the sound of human voice twisted
and wild with agony.
The strange woman was crying out
wildly; Cherry was sobbing a prayer.
Peter, without knowing that he spoke
at all, was repeating over and over
again the words: Not Alix-my God
1T cannot be-she has never had an
accident before--not AliX!"

Cherry and Peter started after him.
"And now that we are alone togeth-
err" Cherry said. after a few minutes,
there seems to be nothing to say
We've said it ALL"
Nothing to sayp' Peter echoed.
"Alix knows" he said in his heart.
Whatever we do, it all seems So
wrong!" Cherry said with watering
eyes.
Whatever we do is wrong" he
agreed soberly.
"But we go?" she said on fiutter-
ing breath.

And again, like the ominous fall of a
heavy bell-tongue, the words formed
in his heart: "Alix knows. Alix

lie thought of the afternoon, only a
few weeks ago, when Cherry's beauty
had made so sudden and so irresist-
ible an appeal to him, and of the in
nocent delight of their luncheons to-
gether, when she had first confded in
him, and of the days of secret and
intense joy that her mere nearness
and the knowledge that he would see
her had afforded him. 1t had all
seemed SO fresh, SO natural, so entire
ly their own affair, until the tragic
day of Martins temperance and the
hour of agonized waiting at the boat

mo eat" the boy answered. He
indicated the direction of the creek,
and after a while Alix, with an icy
heart, went to the bridge and the pool
where Peter had first found Cherry
only few weeks ago.
He was standing, staring vaguely at
the low and lisping stream, and Alix
felt great pang of pity when she
saw him. He came to her smiling,
but as Cherry had smiled, with a wan
and CHASTITY face.
"Peter, you're not well?" Alix said.
Il think-I am a little upset." he
answered. They walked back to the
house together. Alix ordered him to
take d hot bath, and made him drink
some coffee, when, refreshed and
grateful, he came out to the porch
half an hour later They shared the
little meal that was her luncheon and
his breakfast
He followed her to the car and got
in the front seat beside her.
you're awfully good to me-" he
said, briefly, when they were going
down the long grade.
Alix did not answer Immediately and
he thought that she had not heard.
She ran the big machine through the
valley, stopped at the postoffice, and
still in silence began the climb toward
the old house. The roads were all
narrow here but she could have fol
lowed them in the dark, he knew, and
he understood that it was not her driv-
ing that made her face so thoughtful
and kept her eyes from meeting his.

she surprised him by saying suddenly

She ignored the invitation for a few
minutes, and for an instant of panic
he thought he saw her lip tremble
But when she turned to him, it was
with her usual smile.
''It's only that / would like to have
you-and-and Martin-and Cherry as
happy as | am !" she said quickly. And
a second later the mood was gone as
she turned the car in at the home gate
and exclaimed, There's Cherry now -

said as Peter Joined her, and Alix
stopped the car within conversational
range.
Alix remarking that she would turn
the car so that she might later start
on the grade, disappeared, and the
two were together again, after what a

the whole thing
Until Sunday! she whispered.
Until Sunday" Peter glanced at
Martin and Alix, who were talking to-
gethrr absorbedly in low tones. MY
little sweetheart, I'll make all this
misery up to you'll" he whispered. Her
little hand was locked in his for the
rest of the evening.
Morning came, a crystal autumn
morning, and life went on. IL there
was any change at the cabin it was a
change for the better. Alix, who had
been silent and troubled for a little
while, was more serene now, as usual
household, and as usual busy all day
long with her poultry and pigeons, her
Bookkeeping, stable, and dogs. Peter
was his courteous, gentle, interested
self, more like the old Peter, who had
always been occupied with his music
In
ately metamorphosed Peter who had
been so changed by love for Cherry.
Martin, satisfied with the general re-
spects and consideration with which
he found himself surrounded, accept
ed life placidly enough; perhaps he
had been disturbed by the advent of
the letter, perhaps he was willing to
let the question of an adjustment be-
tween Cherry and himself rest. 1t
amused him to help get the house
ready for a tenant and from the fact
that Cherry talked no more of living
there, and made no comment upon his
frequent reference to their departure
on Monday, he deduced that she had
come to her senses.
Cherry, too, was less unhappy than
she had been. By avoiding Peter, by
refraining even in words and looks
from the companionship for which she
so hungered, by devoting herself to
Alix, she managed to hold her feelings
in leash. Even though Aix found
that the knowledge of the secret they
shared without ever mentioning stood
between them like a screen, the sis
ters, busy about the house, had won
derful hours together.
