or In. as you choose"
Martin ventured nm answer that
made Cherry's eyes CLINT angrily and
brought quick, embarrassed flush to
AlIx's face. AlIx did not enjoy a
certain type Of joking. and she did not
concede Martin even the ghost Of a
smile. He Immediately sobered and
remarked that be himself liked to be
indoors at night. His suitcase was
accordingly taken into the pleasant
little wood-smelIing room next to Pc
ter's. where the autumn sunlight,
scented with the dry sweetness Of
mountain shrubs, was streaming.
He began to play solitaire, on the
porch table, ut five. and Row had to
disturb him to set It for dinner at
seven. AK was watering the gar
den, Cherry was dressing. II was an
exquisite hour Of long shadows and
brilliant lights.
Kow had put q tureen Of soup on
the table. and Alix had returned with
damp, clean hands and trinity brushed
hair, for supper. when Peter came up
through the garden. Cherry had ram

CHAPTER XVI.

The evening dragged. Allx had sug.
gested bridge. but Martin did not play
bridge. So she went to the piano. and
began to ramble through various
songs.
Cherry and Peter, left at the table,
did not speak to each other: Peter
leaned back In his chair, with a ciga-
rette; Cherry dreamily pushed to and
fro the little anagram wooden block
letters,
But presently her heart gave great
plunge. and although she did not alter
her different attitude. or raise her
eyes, her white hand moved with d.
rected impulse, and Peters casual
glance fell upon the word "Alone."

he was answering her. Carelessly, and.

spelled back. She did not glance at

spelled quickly: "Will arrange sail

Then Cherry and Peter were unob-

Peter had reached for a magazine !;
he whlrled through the pages. and
yawned. Then he began to play with
the anngrams again.
"Can you get away without hlmr'

But the game was rather a languid
one, nevertheless, and when It was

Cherryw she ended, suddenly pitiful.
Cherry had stopped crying. dried
her eyes, and had reached resolutely
for the book that was waiting on the
little shelf above the porch bed.
You're bigger than am" she said,
quietly. "Or else I'm so made that
suffer more l wish could face the
music. But I can't do anything. I'm
sorry. One knows Of unhappy mar
riages, everywhere. without quite
fancying Just what horrible tragedy
an unhappy marriage Is! Don't mind
me, Alix."
Alix was conscious. as she went out
to speak to Kow about breakfast, and
to give a final glance at fires and
lights, that this was one of the times
when girls needed a wise mother. or a
father, who could decide, blame, and
advise.
Coming back from the kitchen, with
a pitcher Of hot water, she saw Mar

and with cautious glance toward the
bedroom doors he said:

him.

most exciting adventures"

"You know that the dogs that
bark the loudest are the least dan

Norton was already off, hunting for
his new-found friend to listen spell
bound to his tales.
He looked rather shame-faced
when he met Capn Weatherbee, for
the old sailor had taken a fancy to
Norton, and he had been hurt at
being neglected. Norton felt
obliged to stop to talk to him for a
few minutes, although he was anX-
ious to be off to his friend, the boat,
keeper.

"Oh, the Sally Ann" said Norton
quickly, looking out on the bay. "A
fellow was telling me about ship

1t got afire, and he and the captain
were the only ones that would go
down into the hold and fight the
fire, They worked without ceasing

they felt safe. Wasn't that excit-

scared and wanted to take to the
