CHAPTER XII.

It was the gayest spring that Har-
rtet had ever known at Crownlands,
for even at her best, Isabelle had been
socially an individualist, devoting her
self to one man at time, and to no
body else, and the whole family had
necessarily accepted Isabelle's atti-
tude. Richard had been too busy to
notice or protest, the old lady help
less, and Nina a child.
But now there was a beautiful and
gracious woman In Isabelle's place.
and long before the world knew that
Harriet Field was really Harriet Car
ter, there was very decided change
in the social atmosphere. Richard be-
gan to bring his friends to the house /;
he was proud Of his smoothly running
establishment, and proud of the
charming woman who neither flirted
with nor ignored the men he brought
home.
Always beautiful and always busy,
constantly in demand on all sides, she
went about his house like a smiling
watched her. When she went home
to her sister for a day or two he
missed her strangely, and wandered
about the empty rooms with a desc
late sense Of loss.
She was presently back, and amused
the young people at the dinner table
with spirited account of her sisters
move into a new house-"really an
old house." that she and her family
had been watching for years.
Nina and Amy and Ward had rushed
from the dinner table to an early
dance at the club, and Richard, after
talk with his mother on the terrace,
had wandered about with a vague
hope Of finding Harriet somewhere
with her book. But she was not
downstairs.
He went back, and presently accom-
panied his mother to her door. The

gave me the material a year ago."
Harriet glanced down at herself and
smiled.
"YOu might wear pearls-or some
thing-with it." Richard said. ''Do you
like pearls?"
1t was astonishing to see the color
come up in her dusky skin; her eyes
met his almost pleadingly.
"Why-I never thought" she said,
in some confusion.
II suppose a man may ask his wife
If she likes pearls2" Richard said, Inn
PEELED by some feeling he did not de-
fine. He had leaned back in his chair,
and half-clOsed his eyes, as he studied
her.
"Oh-please Harriet said in an
agony. She gave a Mortified glance
about, but the library was closed and
silent. "Some one might hear you ~
she whispered. And a moment later
she rose to her feet, and eyed him
quietly. "Was that all, Mr.. Carter?"
she asked. 1t was Richards turn to
look trifle confused.
"That's all-my deari" he said,
obediently. The term made her flush
again. He was still smiling when she
closed the door.

answered. "My father was very anx-

There was a silence. Harriet, be-
ginning to be ashamed Of herself, did
not look at her companion.
"A girl of your age has great deal
Of confidence when she marries into a
family like mine," the old lady said,

presently, in tone that trembled a
little. my son is a rich mamie is
a prominent man. He has used his
own judgment, Of course. But / con-
fess that in your place I should not
carry myself with quite so much an
air Of triumph It seems to me-"
Harriet determinedly regained her
calm, and taking the chair next to the
enraged old lady, quietly interrupted
the flow Of her angry words.
'I hope / have shown no air Of
triumph, Madame Carter" Harriet
said. "YOu yourself-and most wisely
pointed out to us a few months ago
that the arrangement here was un-
conventional"
every one was talking, If you mind
that!" the old lady snapped. But she
was slightly Modified, none-the-less.
''But upon my word, you'd think mar
rying into the family was something
to be done every day-l'', she was be-
ginning again, when Harriet inter-
rupted again.
Mono" she said, soothingly, CON
ceding the last words an amused
smile that itself rather helped to pla-
cate her companion. "It is, of course,
the most serious step Of my lifel But
the secrecy-as of course you will ap-
preciate-was because there has been
so much terrible notoriety this yearl
Why, Mr.. Carter tells me that never
in the history of all the Carters-"
This fortunate lead was enough.
Madame Carter launched forth superb
ly upon description of the usual Car
ter weddings, the ceremony, the state.
In perhaps twenty minutes she was
blandly patronizing Harriet, giving
her encouraging little taps with her
eyeglasses warning her Of mistakes
that Isabelle had made with Richard.
Harriet knew that before three days
were over her terrible mOther-in-law
would be telling the world just how
wise, under the trying circumstances,
the whole thing was, and just how
clearly she had foreseen it. She was
still listening respectfully, If a trife
confusedly, when Ward bounded from
the house, and gave her an efuslve
embrace.
"HellO, Mamma l" Ward said. Har-
riet laughed, as she pushed away the
flial arm. Hardly knowing what she
said or did she made her way to the
house, and up to her own room.
But here. in Nina's room, were Nina
and Mrs. Tabor, and from their eyes.
as she came in, she knew that they
knew. Nina got up, and came for
ward with a sort of sull1y gracious
ness.
II hope you'll be very happy, Miss
Harriet suppose oughtnt to call
you Miss Harriet any more" Nina
said, with an effort to smile that Har-
riet thought quite CHASTITY. She gave
Harriet one Of her big hands, and hesi-
tated over kiss. But they did not
kiss each other.
At luncheon everything was exactly
as usual; Richard had gone to the
city, not to return for a night or two,
and several social engagements dis
tracted the young people from the con-
temptation Of their fathers affairs.
