And her thoughts went back to the
first few minutes she had. spent in
Richards office that day. They had
been alone, discussing the last details
of their astonishing plan, when she
had suddenly taken the plunge.
'Mr. Carter, there is just one thing
OF course" Harriet's cheeks had
famed, "of course, this marriage of
ours is not the usual marriage, and
yet, there is just one thing of which
would like to speak to you before we
we go up to Greenwich" And find

CHAPTER XII.
Sleep.

Morning found them half-buried In
bright dazzle of snow, the midwin-
ter miracle that sets the most jaded
heart singing and the weariest blood
to moving more quickly. Harriet was
through with her housekeeping and
her luncheon, and meditating a letter
to Linda, when Ida Tabor fluttered in.
Harriet heard the gay voice at the
foot of the stairs: "Oh,- sweetheart!
Where's my little girl?"
Mrs. Tabor looked a trifle dashed
when only Harriet responded, although

'rPve been a sort of big sister here"
she said, laughingly, "and, my Lord,

later the machinery would have

"NIr. Carter asked me to come
back" Harriet stated, simply. She
thought the truth her best weapon,
but Mrs. Tabor was ready for her.

were just resting and looking about"
she said, innocently, land Dick-gen-

Richard had telephoned Harriet
at three o'clock that the morning pa

he was coming home to tell his chill

But she must get rid of this woman
now, somehow. 1t would be fatal to
have ida Tarbor here when Richard
Carter returned.

lady!" said Mrs. Tabor, who had flung
off her furs, and beautified herself at
! her handbag mirror. She pressed her
lips together for the red coloring. 'Mr
Carter be here tonight?" she asked
casually.
Bottomley caused an interruption.
Harriet turned to him with relief. But
unfortunately he answered the very
question she was trying to evade.
"Mr. Carter had just telephoned m,

MRS. CARTER, NO. 2

Synopsis.-Harriet Field, twenty
eight years old, and beautiful, Is
the social secretary of the hirta-
tious Mrs. Isabel Carter, at
"Crownlands," Richard Carriers
home, and governess of seventeen
year-old Nina Carter. Ward, tWen-
ty-four years old and impression
able, fancies himself in love with
his mothers attractive secretary.
Mrs. Carter's latest affair Is with
young Anthony Pope, and the
youth is taking it very seriously
Presiding over the teacups this
summer afternoon, Harriet is pro-
foundly disturbed by the arrival of
a visitor, Royal Blondin. Next
day, at a tea party in the CITY,
Blondin makes himself agreeable
to Nina, and leaves a deep impress
sion on the unsophisticated girl.
Harriet's agitation over the appear
ance of Blondin at "Crownlands"
is explained by the fact that he
had been a disturbing element in
her life ten years before and she
fears him. The man is an avowed
adventurer, living on the gullibility
of the idle rich. He frankly an
nounces to Harriet his intention of
marrying Nina, and urges her to
aid him. She is in a sense in his
power, and after pleading with him
to abandon his scheme agrees to
follow a policy of neutrality.
Knowing the tender feeling she has
inspired in Ward Carter, Harriet
is tempted to marry him for the
position and wealth he can give
her, though realizing she does not
love him. Blondin has ingraSiated
himself with Madame Carter, Rich
ards mother, and she is whole
heartedly in favor of his marriage
with Nina. Ward urges Harriet to
marry him. She procrastinates.
Mrs. Carter elopes with Pope. Blon-
din threatens Harriet. She prays
to do what is right. Blondin and
Harriet agree to keep silent about
their past relations. Richard Car
ter proposes a marriage, entirely
businesslike, to take place as soon
as he is divorced. Harriet says
NO" and goes to visit her sister.
The elopement ends in Mrs. Car
ter's death. Harriet secretly mar
ries Richard Carter and returns to
Crownlands.
