Eaton, coming down rather late the
next morning. found the breakfast
room empty. He chose his breakfast
from the dishes on the sideb0ard, and
while the servant set them before him
and waited on him. he inquired after
the members Of the household. Miss
Santoine the servant said. had break.
tasted some time before and was now
with her father; Mr.. Avery also had
breakfasted; Mr.. Blatchford was not
yet down. AS Eaton fingered over his
breakfast, Miss Davis passed through
the hail, accompanied by maid. The
maid admitted her into the study and
closed the door; afterward, the maid
remained In the hall busy with some
morning duty, and her presence and
that OF the servant In the breakfast
room made 1t impossible for Eaton to
attempt to go to the study or to risk
speaking to Miss Davis. A few min.
utes later. he heard Harriet Santoine
descending the stairs; rising. he went
out into the hall to meet her.
II don't ask you to commit yourself
for longer than today. Miss Santolne,"
he said. when they had exchanged
greetings, "but-for today-what are
the limits Of my Ieash?"

could not tell; 1t was probably only
Irritation at having important work

1t was, he was not openly expressing

He stared angrily; then he shrugged

and began gathering up his scattered
papers. She stood indeclslvely watch

she saw that he had quite conquered
his irritation. or at least had concealed
1t; his concern now seemed to be only
over his relations with herself.
"We've not quarreled. Harry?" he
asked.
"Quarreled? Not at all. Dom" she
replied.
She moved toward the door; he fol.
