times l think your marriage is as
as queer as my own"
Nothing more was said for several
days upon the subject of a possible
divorce. One afternoon Peter crossed
the porch, tired and hot. and found
everything apparently deserted. He
dropped into a chair. and was still
GREATNESS from the rapid climb up
hill, when stray notes from the plano
reached his ears; a chord, q carefully
played bit of bass then a chord again.
Then slowly, but with dainty accuracy
and eve feeling, Cherry began to play
a strange little study of Schumann.
Peter knew 1t was Cherry, because
Alix's touch was always Arm and sure
more than that, he himself had played
this same bit no longer ago than last
night. and he repembered now that
Cherry had asked him just what II
was.
He experienced a sudden and pleas
ing emotion he did not stop to anaIyze
it. But he had been ruffied in spirit
a moment before Alix had known he
was to come on this train and had not
met him with the car and while he
really did not mind the walk up, he
disliked the feeling that they had en-
tireiy forgotten him.
Presently there was silence; then
Cherry tried another little study and
finished It, and the hot summer still
ness reigned again.
With q sense that he had been doz-
ing. if only for a few minutes. Peter
opened his eyes. sFramed-in the cabin
doorway, poised like a butterfly against
the dark background of the room.
stood Cherry. He knew that she had
been standing so for some time, for a
full minute; perhaps more.
They looked at each other in a ST.
lence that grew more and more awk-
ward by great plunges. Peter had
time to wish that he had kept his eyes
shut: to wish that he had smiled when
he first saw her--he could not have
forced himself to smile now-to
der 10Y they were ever to speak
where they were rushing-rushing-
rushing-before she turned noiselessly
and vanished into the dim room.
Peter lay there. and his heart
pounded. A moment K he had been
a tired man, fretted because his wife
forgot to meet him; now there IA
something new in the world. And rap
idly all the world became only a back
ground, only a setting, for thi3 extra
ordinary sensation. The hills beyond
still swan in the hot sunlight, the
mountain rose INFO the blue, but the
light that changes all life lay over
them for Peter.
He said to himself that 1t was awk-.
ward-he did not know how he could
enter that door and talk to Cherry.
And yet he knew that that meeting
of Cherry. that the common exchange
of words and glances, that the daily
trifing with Cherry were
all poignantly significant now.
He felt no impulse toward hurry.
He might sit ON his porch another
hour. might saunter off toward the
creek. 1t mattered nothing; the hour
was steadily approaching when She
must reappear.
Aliz drove in, full Of animated apoI-
ogies. She managed the car far bet
ter than he. and no thought of an ac-
cident had troubled him.
The evening was warm. one of the
two or three warm evenings thai
marked the height OF summer even
in the high valley. There was moi
a breath of air in the garden roses

1t was here that Peter found Cher
ry. She came up to him, and he took
both her hands and, after a second Of
hesitation, kissed her. She freed one
hand TO put 1t on his shoulder and,
standing so. she seriously returned
his kiss. For a m his arm en-

and Peter smoked with his eyes on the
fire.

Something in the poignant sorrow of
