CHAPTER XIII.

Royal Blondin presently came to pay
his respects TO Harriet In her changed
position Nina had told her that he
had been forbidden the house in De-
cember; they had seen him only two or
three times since their return from
Bermuda, and then accidentally. Har-
riel was thankful 10 believe the affair
between him and Nina we'll over The
girl was growing up now, there were
other men In her world, and for the
list Of her eighteenth birthday party
SHE had merely mentioned his name
amVng others.
Three days before the garden party
that was to mark the girls anniversary
Royal drifted In with the assurance
that was quite Characteristic Of him.
He rarely accepted an invitation. or
waited for one. Perhaps he was clever
enough to know that half his acquaint-
ahces detested him theoretically, but
were glad to have him about. Nina
and Harriet came In from an after
noon at the club to find him playing
with languid hands at the piano, and
he lazily rose TO greet them. While
Nina was there, his attitude toward
both was pleasantly impersonal, but
his suggestion, which was more like a
command. that she run upstairs and
dress early, so that they might have
a talk before dinner, sent the girl fly
Ing and he and Harriet could speak
Ipore freely.

Unexpectedly, here between the fam-
lily dinner and the early going to bed,
on a June evening. crisis In her life
was confronting her. and she knew
that she must meet II.
Wards guest was only the young
Saunders boy, who had been with
them constantly last summer. and who
was of absolutely no significance In
their lives. And yet Harriet had been
Mrs. Carter"-there was no halfway,
in the eyes OF the world at least, In
this relationship Of hers with Richard.
and she must begin to take her place
In the family.
MRS. Carterp' Harriet loved that
distinction as If the title, the sigma
ture, and the dignity had never been
vouchsafed to womankind before. She
had marveled at her old self, that had
taken Miss" and Mrs" with cheer
full INDEPENDENTLY, there was
worldwide chasm between the two!
Just 20 have this silly Saunders boy
call her Mrs. Carter, as a matter Of
course, was to receive the accolade
that gave her all her longed-for
dreams In one. It was the name Of
the man she loved. and, even though
I'm a shadowy and unloved way, she
liked the title that made her his.
And now she owed him the truth,
the whole, painful, humiliating story.
If she had told him months ago. so
much the better and drawer woman
she! She had not done So; she had
been fighting Nina and his mother
then; she had been afraid. But she
was not afraid now; he could forgive
that long-ago girl of seventeen be-
cause her advocate was the woman Of
twenty-eight, the finished, cultivated,
capable woman who had served him
and his house, who must win his re-
spect back because she loved him with
every fiber Of her being.
The words In which she would tell
him came to her in a rush. Why-it
was nothingl 1t was less than moth
ing. In half an hour she would be
back here In her room again, with all
the past clean and straight at last
with the cloud gone, and with her
whole soul singing with hope Of the
glorious future. For a moment she
knelt by her bed, her face In her
hands.
She rose to her feet. There was a
tap at the door.
1t was Bottomley. "If you please,

library, m" Harriet gave herself

her hand on the library door. "Tve

thing too long I've imagined it into
an Importance that 1t really hasn't at
all !"
Richard was back at his desk, he
smiled and rose as she came in. There
was another man In the library, who
rose and faced her, too.
And when Harriet saw him she
knew that she was too late. 1t was
Royal Blondin.
A dizziness and sickness came over
her as she went slowly to the chair
opposite Richard. She touched the
desk for support as she sat down. and
felt that her fingers were cold and
wet.
"Mr. Blondln has come TO talk to
me about Nina" Richard said. Har.
riet somehow moved her dizzy eyes
toward Blondin, and she smiled me.
