man; saw the aliens face brighten as
Harriet was introduced A moment
! Iatef boy with q tennis racket
dashed up to them, and there was a
scattering in the direction of the
courts The girls surrounded the boy,
and streamed away chattering. The
matron in yellow came back to her
card table. And Harriet unfurling
her parasol, deep in conversation with
the captured soldier, sauntered slowly
after the tennis players. The after
noon sunshine sent clean shadows
across the clipped grass; the stretched
blue silk Of Harriet's parasol threw
mellow orange light upon her tawny
hair and saffron colored gown.
Richard had child's desperate
wish that he was dressed, and might
run after them.
But 1t was not at the tennis that he
looked, twenty minutes later, when he
reached the courts; although a bril-
liant play was being made and there
was scattering OF applause. His
eyes instantly found Harriets figure
she was still talking to the French
man. whose olive face was glowing
with interest and admiration, and not
more than eight inches, Richard
thought. from her own. Harret's own
face wore the shadow of a smile, her
laShes were dropped, and she was
gently pushing the point of her closed
parasol into the green turf The
chairs in which they sat had been
slightly turned from the court.
Richard engaged himself in CONVEX
Sation with two or three men and
women who were watching the young
sters game. and presently found him
self applauding his son for a brilliant
ace. But after perhaps five minutes
he walked quite without volition,
straight to Harriets neighborhood,
and she rose at once, introduced her
new friend, and with glance at her
wrist, announced that she must go.
Ward said he would drive me home
the instant it was over" said Harriet,
clapping heartily for the triumphant
finish of the set.
"I'll drive you home 7" Richard said,
instantly. 1--WE the small car"
FRIDAY night" Harriet smiled. For
Friday night was the night for mems
dinner and poker game at the country
club. and Richard usually liked to be
there.

suddenly caring more for this conces-
sion than anything else in the world.

Richard a voluble good-by, and when
the bowling officer disappeared turned
with a reminiscent smile
"And now what?"
"Where did you learn to chatter
French that way?" Richard said,
leading the way to the line of parked
motors.
ooh, we lived in Paris-old Mrs.

carelessly. And reaching the little
rise of ground that lay between the

stood still, looking off across the ex-

ready there, replacing pillows, straight
ening beds, untwisting curtains. The
girls, with reminiscent bubbles OF
laughter. began to help her.
After the last good-nlghts, Richard
and Harriet had no choice but to cross
the hall again, and they stood there
for moment, laughing at the recent
excitement.

Gently. you don't think she's hiding
anything?" she asked, anxiously.
"I-no, l hardly think So Richard
answered, confusedy. Their eyes met,
and he smiled vaguely. Then Harriet
slowly crossed the hall to the door of
the guest room, where she was spend
ing the night, and gave him an only
half-audible goodnight. Richard stood
watching the door for a moment or two
after it had closed upon the slender,
dimly seen figure. Then he went to-
his own room. and began briskly
enough to move about between the mir
rorS and dressing room, windows and
bed. But two or three times he
staring vacantly into space, all move
ment arrested, even thought arrested
for whole long minutes at a time.
Harriet, entering her room, closed
the door nolselessly, and remained for
a long time standing with her hands
resting against it behind her, her eyes
alert, her breath coming as if she had
been running There was only a night
light in the bedroom the covers were
still tumbled back from her sudden
flight toward the rioting youngsters in
the hall. She got back into her bed
and opened her book. But for a long
time she neither slept nor read; her
eyes widened at the faintest sound of
the summer night; her heart thumped
madly when the curtains whispered at
the window, or the wicker chairs gave
the faintest creak. 1t had not been
only for Richard that the midnight
hour Of responsibilityeand informality
shared had had its thrill
One o'clock. Harriet closed her book
and snapped off her light. But first
she went to the window and leaned out
into the sweet darkness. There was
shadow unbroken everywhere no light
in all the big house was burning as
late as Der own.

In 1901 st. Peter Damian wrote a
letter to Pope Alexander, bitterly COM

wasting his time playing chess instead
of attending to the affairs of the do

known in Europe before the year

to have been the first European ma
