CHAPTER XXXN


 N11yT MORNING at breakfast Joan was greatly surprised when Mrs. Love announced that she was leav- ing Hearts Desire. Turning to her brother-in-law she asked, What time does the fastest train leave Fair Valley"
 'aThe very best one goes at eight o'clock" he answered with smile, but there's another at three fifteen, which takes you only twenty minutes longer. You don't have to change from it, although you may have to wait at the junction"
 ''Then I'll go on that train. How about my baggage? she questioned as she buttered her toast.
 "when will your things be ready?" asked Rupert.
 About noon," she replied.
 "All right. Dick will take them in the truck and I'll drive you up my self.''
 Will you take me, too?" asked Sonny eagerly, and although Mrs. Loye's eyes shadowed in negation Ru- pert answered blithely, q guess you may come along. It will give Miss | Fairweather a chance to get little respite"
 Are you sure it won't be too much | for your fame armT questioned Mrs. Love as though she had just remember ed that Rupert had not yet regained his full strength.
 "Oh, my hands needing exercise he replied, although to himself he made the reservation that he would not drive at the rate he had driven when he brought his sister-in-law home.
 "yery we'll" said Mrs. Love, noting new wistful look in loans eyes and inwardly rejoicing that she had done her best to nip romance in the bud. After breakfast Joan turned her at tention to Sonny, but the prospect of the trip with his father had made him rather hilarious and his lessons didn't progress as we'll as usual, it was with sigh of relief that she finally sent him outdoors. For the first time since she lad come to Hearts Desire she felt impatient with the child. Fortunately she did not show it and as he was so excited about going with his father he did not notice any difference in his dear Miss Fairy. Yet even as Joan felc this impatience she knew that it was not Sonny who annoyed her. Some thing had happened. There was l change in the atmosphere. The friend ly spirit, nay more the lover-like at titude of Rupert, had given place to one of studied politeness. Joan at tended to her duties automatically, but ever and anon she would remember some little passage she had had with Rupert and in spite of his apparent coldness she felt that he had loved her. Things might be better once Mrs. Love left the house. She would wait and see. She had had a wonderful time, but maybe after all it was merely fools paradise in which she had lived. Per haps she should have accepted the Moberly's invitation. Then she would have escaped the humiliation she now felt, but she could not write and tell them that she had changed her mind. Her pride would not permit her. She would stick it out unless Rupert should suggest that the contract be ended be- l fore the six months were up.
 With every stitch she realized how

much she cared for Rupert. To make the house beautiful for him had been a delight. To train Sonny to be a credit to him had been her pride, and now-well, time would tell. For 'the present she must turn a brave face to the little world in which she moved. No one must learn her secret.
 Meanwhile as Rupert sat in his den his thoughts turned swiftly to Mrs. Love. Why was it that her visits were always harbingers of trouble? She was very kind to him and very thoughtful of his welfare, yet there was always unpleasantness in the home. Her news about Joan was decidedly alarming for he was deeply in love with her and he was sure she cared for him. Still as he analysed the situation it seemed strange that she had not at least made some inquiry about his condition on the night of the accident. Mrs. Love had been tenderness itself and had expressed amazement at Joan's callousness. Yet what care Joan had given him when the doctor sent for her ! Rupert's brow darkened Was Joan after all just like SC many women-playing up to the man on the spot. No, he felt there must be some mistake. Her blue eyes were honest Strange though that the doctor had called her Joan" Had she known him in other days? Why had she never referred to this? Thoroughly unhappy, the sound of loans voice in the hall no longer thrilled him but set thousand doubts about her whirling in his mind. If only-but the door opened and Sonny rushed into his fathers arms to announce that dinner was ready.
 As Mrs. Love took her departure Ru- pert glanced towards the doorway, where Joan stood.
 He felt touch of compunctiOn as he noted the wanness of her cheeks. Perhaps Maribers news was nothing more than malicious gossip and he cursed himself for listening to it. He might at least have spoken to Joan and discovered if there was anything to it.
 Driving along the winding road he paid scant attention to Mrs. Love, but she chattered necessarily. As they neared the station she said, Nov re member if you lose your wonderful housekeeper, I'm always willing to help you out for a bit"
 That's very good of you, but I don't think she'll go for some time yetr'

 But are you sure it's so," questioned Rupert.
 For a fleeting second Mrs. Loves eyes moved restlessly. Then raising her face to him in fascinating manner she said: "Oh you stupid boy A woman doesn't need to be told about things like that. She. knows
