 Harriet glanced at her wrist before she answered him. Her heart WAS sick within her. Close upon her radi- ant dream had come this shadow, far more a shadow now, when her respon- sibility had infinitely increased. and when she had had proof of the love and respect in which they held her here.
 T don't think sop she said, briefly. "Fll find Bottomley, and have lunch put ahead"
 You don't like him." Ward said, watching her closely.

 The boy followed her while she gave her order. Then they went out into the blazing day together.

 q would rather see Nina dead and buried !' The words burst from liar. riet against her will, against her prom ise to Royal. There was no help for 1t, her essential honesty would have its way.
 "Talk to him!" Ward, fortunately. was not inclined to take her too seri- Ously. You'll like him Gosh, he certainly has good effect on me-" added the youth, modestly. "He doesn't drink. and he talks to me you ought to hear him !-about char acter being fate, and all that! Say, listen, before we get out of the wOOdS-?"
 His sudden sense of her nearness and beauty belied the careless words. Harri found his arms tight about her. her face tipped up to the young, handsome face that was stirred now with trembling excitement. The quick movement Of his breast she could feel against her own, and the passion of his kisses almost frightened her; she was held, bound, half-lifted off her feet
 'Ward!' she gasped, freed at last. and with one hand to her disordered hair. while the other held him at. arm's-length. Dear! Please!"

 "This morning, I don't know how long," Harriet said, with a great light or darkness, breaking in upon her mind, "he was leaving when Nina and l came home"
 Do you know who took the tele- phone call from Mrs. Webb?r
 No, because nobody did. No per son named Webb called from Great Harrington, or anywhere else, today" said Williams, breaking in decidedly. his voice contrast to Richards hesi- tating tones. As matter of fact. Hansen didn't drive to Great Barring ton. Two miles from your gate here. Mrs. Carter gave him other direc- tiOIs"
 "What dlrections?' Harriet asked, antagonized by his manner, and feel ing her cheeks get red. The man evi- dently had small respect for woman hood.
 ''He drove to New London" Richard supplied. "Pope's yacht is there"
 His manner was very quiet, he spoke almost wearily, but Harriet felt as if cannon had exploded in the study.
 i've had New London on the wire" said Mir. Williams. "Mr. Pope had been getting ready for a cruise. The chances are that they have already weighed anchor"

 Harriet went back to the drawing room with her heart big with pride. He had mentioned Hansen and Ger maine, but he knew that he could trust her! The event was sensational enough. But back of the excitement lay the joy of being needed and being trusted

 About n week later they met for a few moments in this very side garden. It was early evening, and twilight and moonlight were mingled over the silent roses, and the trimmed turf, and the low brick walls.

CHAPTER VI.

A most Opportune Hull followed, when Harriet Field had time to collect her thoughts. and get a true perspec- tive upon the events of the past week. Nina was leaving for visit to Amy Hawkes., at the extremely dull and en- tirely safe Hawkes. mansion, where four unmarried daughters constituted a chaperonage beyond all criticism Isabelle Carter was giving and attend ing the usual luncheons and dinners her husband absorbed in an especially important business deal that kept him alternate nights in the city. The house was quiet, the domestic machinery sulphurOus and enervating
 She d;ned as usual alone, that eve ming, and was surprised at about eight o'clock, to receive the demure notifica- ton frCm Rosa that Mrs. Carter would ike to see her With hardly an in stants delay she went downstairs.
 On the terrace outside the drawing room windows they were at Il card ta- ble: Richard, looking tired and hot in iUmplcd white. Isabelle exquisite in silver lace, and young Anthony Pope Near by. Madame Carter majestically fingered some illustrated magazines.
 It appeared that they wanted bridge 1; it was too hot to eat, too hot to dance at the club. too hOt-said Isabelle pathetically-tO livei

 She turned card. took the deal. found Anthony Pope her partner, and entered into the game with spirit. Richards first words to her were reas- surfing; if there was constraint here, she was not involved in 1t.
 No trump-says little Miss Field. Well, that doesn't seem to frighten me Two spades"
 "l think we might try three dia- mnnds, Mss Field" AnothOny said, Gravely and pleasantly. and Harriet felt herself acquitted of any apprehen- sion in that direction as well. It only remained for Isabelle to show friend Illness.
 "Du hast diamOnten and perlen you two. l can see thati You're down. Harrlet," Mrs Carter said thoughtfully. Harriet began thorough ly to enjoy herself. If they were all furious, at least it was not with her She speculated, as she gathered in her tricks Was 1t conceivable that Richard did not enjoy the discovery of the tete-a-tete dinner? But Isabelle had often been equally indiscreet and he had never seemed to resent it be- fore Harriet knew that Isabelle was iil at ease; she suspected that Tony was furious. The old lady was ob- viously qulvering with battied inter- est and curiosity.
 After three rubbers the game ended suddenly; Richard said he had some letters to write, and was keeping Fox

That Isabelle'S madness would rui its full gamut did not occur to Harriet until the next day. Then, as the serene hours moved by, and there was no word and no sign from Richard, the possibilities began to suggest them selves. It seemed to her incredible that any woman would risk all that Isabelle had for the sake of a fiery boys first love, and yet, on the other hand, there was the memory of Isa- belle's suffering two nights ago, and here were the amazing facts to prove it.
 It was for few women to enjoy the popularity Isabelle had known. But any woman might run away with rich admirer. Harriet's admiration for the cleverness with which Isabelle con ducted this pretty playing with fire disappeared, and in its place came the sharp conviction that Old-faShiOned women like Linda had some justifica tiOn, after All; it was dangerous" il did lead to sin" it could indeed ''hap pen once too often."
 Harriet felt her own lapsing moral ity regaining it's standard Just now when Nina most needed her mother when Richard was struggling with diff ficult business conditions, when Ward was engaged
 She interrupted her thoughts here and tried to make herself feel like a woman engaged to be married. Some how the fact persisted in baffling her. There was an unreality about it that prevented her from tasting the full sweet. Engaged-to rich man, and q rich mans son. Well, perhaps when Ward came back, it would seem more believable.
 She had been standing at one of the hall windows, a window deep set in the brick wall, and commanding through elms and beeches the path to the tennis court. Hands pressed her eyes tight, she came back to the pres ent moment with a start. Ward Car ter was behind her. He laughed at her confusion, and they sat down on the window seat together. Yes, he was going back to the Bellamys', and so was Blondin, but they had both come in just for lunch and the drive.
 Instantly he brought reinsurance to her. Ward was such dearl Of course she loved him.

 You may not know it, but you never spoke truer word ,'' the girl said. His shout of laughter was pleasant to hear.
 Listen. Does Mother know it? About us, I mean?"
 "Oh, Ward-nobody knows it! Hush!' His mention of his mother brought back realization with rush, and she added uncOmfortably, Shes at Great Harrington"
 'Oh, darn! I wanted to see her! She wrote me, and told me she loved me, and that she didn't think she had been a very good mother to me!' He laughed, youthfully, with d bewildered widening of his eyes. Il thought she was sick. Well, maybe we can stop there going back"

MOCK SUNS IN THE ARCTIC
Phenomenon Explained az Caused by
the Refraeti1n and Reflection
From the Real Sun.


Mock suns are similar in point OF
origin to the mirages of the desert,
only they occur in the Arctic circle.
As the long winter night of the
polar region wanes, once every "a
hours slight glow is seen at some
point on the horizon. Often accom-
panying this glow is seen the phe-
nomenon of the mock suns. Up in
the heavens as many as five of these
spectral orbs have been seen at once.
Invariably they are all connected in
geometric figure. the suns SEEM
ingly being bound together with
circles and arcs Of light.
Often, when only one appears, it
is mistaken for the real sun, and
natives rejoice at the early end of
the long winter night, only to be dis
appointed as the image disappears.
The explanation Of the phenomenon
is given by physicists as refraction
and reflection of light from the real
sun below the horizon on the mists
in the upper atmosphere. New
