her seat as the old lady rustled slowly
away. Who's coming?" she asked in

laughed. Harriet's glorious eyes Wild
ened into smiling warning. His open
and boyish admiration was a sort of
joke between them. Yet in this sec

glimpse of the approaching guests, a
sudden thought was born in. her.
Honor had compelled her to a gen.
erous policy with Ward. She had held
his admiration firmly in check; she
had maintained a big-sister attitude
that was as wholesome for herself as
for him.
But here, she thought with sudden
satisfaction. might be the realization
Of her own ambition, after all. Ward
was but four years her Junior, and
Ward would be Richard Carter's heir.

"Whof"
Harriet did not know whether she
said 1t or screamed 1t. She lost all
consciousness of her surroundings and
her neighbors for a few terrible sec
onds; her mouth was dry, her throat
CONSTRUCTED. and a hideous weakness
a like nausea through. her entire
body. The hand with whiLh she
touched the sugar tongs was icy cold.
a pain split her forehead, and she felt
suddenly tired and broken.
Ward had gone across to greet the
Bellamys; Harriet fixed her eyes
with a sort of fascination upon the
man to whom she presently saw him
talking. Almost everyone else in the
group was looking at him, too; Royal
Blondin was used to it; one of his
favorite affectations was an apparent
Inconsistencies of being observed.
Well over six feet In height, he had
dropped his leonine head, with Its
thick locks of dark hair, a little on
N side; his mobile, thin lips were
set, and his piercing eyes searched the
boys face with a sort of passionate
attention.
Introductjons were in order, every
one wanted to meet the Bellamys'
friend, and Harriet saw that 1t pleased
him, for some ~inscrutable reason, to
continue his ridiculous conversation
with the fiattered Ward. and to accept
names and greetings absently, In an

A few seconds later Harriet Field
slipped from her place, crossed the
terrace with her heart beating sick
and fast with fright, and made her
escape.
She and Nina had a luxurious suite
on the second floor, shut of from the
rest of tile house by a single door. and
rather remotely placed in a wing that
commanded q superb view of the river.
Nina. h~alf-dressed, was sprawling
luxuriously on her bed when Harriet
came in. Glass doors were open upon
a square porch. and the sweet after
noon air stirred the crisp, transparent
curtains.
Harriet shut the door. and leaned
against 1t, and the world spun about
her. What now7 What now? What

odd, ibreathy whisper.
The terror began to flood her soul
and mind again. She went out to the
porch. and looked down into the clear
shade of the early twilight, under the
trees. The terrace was deserted;
every sign of the tea party had van
ished, not a crumb married the order
of the grass-grown bricks. The chairs
held formal attitudes, the table was
empty. All the motorcars were gone
from the drive. She turned back into
the room, breathing more easily.
At half-past seven she came up
