Peter said to himself that now Cher
ry would go. too. but as the screen
door banged lightly after Alix, and the
dull glimmer of Cherry's striped gown
did not move in the soft shadow,
sudden reluctance and distaste seized
him. He had been subconsciously
aware of her all afternoon: he had
known delicious warmth and stir
at his heart that he had not analyzed,

suddenly he did not want the beauty
and gloom and charm Of that feeling

must stop the unavailing game now.
But he had not reckoned on Cherry.
She twisted in her chair, and he heard
child's long, happy sigh.
"Oh, SO am / tired, tool" she
breathed, reluctantly. II hate to
leave it-but I've been almost asleep

white figure fluttered toward the door.
Good night!' she said, dropping her
little head to choke yawn. A mo-
ment later he heard her laughing with

ter said to himself, and he felt an
emotion like shame, little real COM
junction that he could so utterly mis-
read her innocence. He felt 1t not
only wrong in him, but somehow stain
ing and hurtful to her.

how blue her eyes were, with Just a
flm of corn-colored hair loosened
above them, and what husky exquis-
1te, childish notes were in her voice.
"Cherry-this Is the incest thing
that has happened for a long. long
while!" he said.
You and Ali1 are angels to let
me come!" Cherry answered, as they
turned, and with laughter and eager,
interrupted talking went back to the
house.
Cherry, Peter saw at once, was DIFF
ferent In every way. Cherry was full
Of softness, Of ready response to any
appeal. Of sympathy and comprehen-
sion. She had been misunderstood,
unhappy, neglected; she had devel-
oped through suffering a certain timld-
fty that was almost shrinking, a
certain shy clingiug to what was kind
and good.
Her happiness here was an hourly
delight to both Alix and himself. She
seemed to flower softly; every day
OF the simple forest life brought her
new interest, new energy, new bloom.
She and Alix washed their hair again,
damned the creek again, tramped and
sang duets again. Sometimes they
cooked, often they went into the old
senseless spasms OF laughter at moth

One evening, when In the sitting
room there was no other light than

after her arrival. Cherry spoke for
the first time of Martin. She had

ners at the hotel, but lived at home
he had been playing a little poker and
was luckier than ever. He was look
ing into proposition in Durango,
Mexico, and would let her know how
1t panned out.
Peter had been playing the piano
lazily when the letter was tossed to
Cherry by Alix, who usually drove
into the village every morning after
breakfast for marketing and the mail.
He had seen Cherry glance through
1t, seen the little distasteful move
ment of the muscles about her nose,
and seen her put it carelessly under
candlestick on the mantel for later
consideration. At luncheon she had
referred to 1t, and now it evidently
had caused her to be thoughtful and
q little troubled.

presently, with a sigh.

Cherry shrugged.

times / think your marriage Is as
as queer as my own"
| days upon the subject of possible
divorce. One afternoon Peter crossed
the porch, tired and hot, and found
everything apparently deserted. He
dropped into chair, and was Sill
breathless from the rapid climb up
hill, when stray notes from the piano
reached his ears; chord, carefully
played bit of bass: then chord again.
Then slowly. but with dainty accuracy
and even feeling. Cherry began to play
a strange little study of Schumann.
Peter knew II was Cherry, because
Alix's touch was always firm and sure;
more than that, he himself had played
this same bit no longer ago than last
night, and he remembered now that
Cherry had asked him just what 1t
was.
He experienced sudden and pleas
ing emotion he did not stop to analyze
1t. But he had been rufiied in spirit
n 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
dlsllked the feeling that they had en-
tirely forgotten him.
Presently there was silence; then
Cherry tried another little study and
finished It. and the hot summer still
ness reigned again.
With n sense that he had been doz-
ing. If only for a few minutes Peter
opened his eyes. Framed in the cabin
doorway, poised like 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 n 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 won
der how 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 ago he had been
tired man, fretted because his wife
forgot to meet him; now there was
something new In the world. And rap
idly all the world became only back
ground, only setting, for this extra
ordinary sensation. The hills beyond
still swan In the hot sunlight, the
mountain rose into 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
trifling encounters with Cherry were
all poignantly significant now.
He felt no impulse toward hurry.
He might sit on bis porch another
hour. might saunter off toward the
creek. 1t mattered nothing; the hour
was steadily approaching when she
must reappear.
Alix drove in. full Of animated apol-
ogies. She managed the car far bet
ter than he. and no thought Of an &C.
cident had troubled him.
The evening was warm, one Of the
two or three warm evenings that
marked the height Of summer even

FINANCIAL


New York. May 14-Trading in
stocks today was very active at ir-
regular price changes. Dealings were
more comprehensive, although oils and
petroleums again bulked large in the
operations of pools. The day marked
the 25th consecutive full session in
which transactions ran over the million
share line, sales aggregating 1,400, 00C
shares.
The money market and general In
in the main. Call loans eased with the
progress of the session, opening at An
per cent, but dropping to 4 per cent at
midday. In private offerings, loans on
demand were made as low as 3H per
cent.
It was not until the final hour that
the selling assumed formidable dimen-
sions. Reactions of one to three points
then occurred on offerings of steels,
motors, equipments n some of the
oils.
Pressure was most clearly reflected in
Mexican Petroleum, Texas company
and Standard Oil of California, these
closing at net losses of large frac-
ions to 2h points.
On the other hand, Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, which featured the days lively
trading in local fractions. finished at
a net gain of 3A points II Kelly
Springfield, Standard Oil of New Jersey
and Houston Oil were materially higher.
Rails were in better demand than at
any time since the question of lower
freight rates became a debatable Ques-
ton. In that group, however, gains
were moro or less impaired by the late
reaction.
Passing of the so-called crisis at
Genoa was followed by yet another ad-
vance in sterling exchange and pro-
nounced recoveries throughout the con-
tinental list.
