CHAPTER VIII

Zen thought over the events Of that
evening until they became a blur in
her memory. Her principal recollec-
ton was that she had been quite
swept Off her feet. Transley had In
terpreted her submission as assent,
and she had not corrected him in the
vital moment when they stood before
her father that night in the deep
shadow of the veraada.
"YD.," Transley had said, "yort
consent and your blessing! Zen ami
/ are to be married as soon as she can
be ready"
That was the moment at which she
should have spoken, but she did not.
She. who had prlded herself that she
would make a race of it-she who
had always been able to slip out Of
predlcament in the nick of time-stood
mutely by and let Transley and her
father interpret her silence as con-
sent. She was not sure that she was
sorry she was not sure but she would
have consented anyway; but Transley
had taken the matter quite out Of her
hands. And yet she could not bring
herself to feel resentment toward
him; that was the strangest part Of
Ii. II seemed that she had come I'M
der his domination; that she even
had to think as he would have her
think.
In the darkness she could not see
her fathers face, for which she was
sorry; and he could not see hers, for
which she was glad. There was
long moment Of tense silence before
she heard him say;
"Wel, we'll l had bunch It
might come to that, but didn't reckon
you youngsters would work so fast"
This was a stake worth working
fast for" Transley was saying, as be
shook YD's hand. II wouldn't trade
places with any man alive" And Zen
was sure he meant exactly what he
said.
"She's good girl, Transley," her
father commented; "a good girl, even
If Bit obstrep'rous at times. She's
got spirit. Transley. an you'll have to
handle her with sense. She's "a

YD. had reached his arms toward
his daughter, and at these words he
closed them about her. Zen had
never known her father to be emo
tional she had known him TO face mat
ters of life and death without the
CULVER of an eyelld. but as he held
her there in his arms that night she
felt his big frame tremble. Suddenly
she had a powerful desire to cry. She
broke from his embrace and ran up
stairs TO her room.
