Marion Fairfax, and finds it's basis

women who believes in the freedom
of her sex, She feels that she is
entitled to her own life, and while
she loves her husband, she informs
him and any one who cares to listen
that she will not tolerate his
debating to her. The story takes
/ dramatic turn when 1.-THE Takers"
unsophisticated young sister-in-law
follows her preachments and elopes
with a man who proves to be I'M
worthy. After series of events,
In which the sister returns homo
and marries her boyhpod sweetheart,
1.-THE Talker" and her husband, who
had separated, become reconciled,
and 'The Talker," thoroughly

nau seen So much conclusion that
would have been right if only it could
have been based upon the facts Peter
knew now, as if by sudden humili-
ating revelation, that he had been fool
ish to even attempt the method of the
great analysts, as they are called who
are always conveniently provided with
every vital fact beforehand; he knew
that what he must get was more evil
dence.
On his key ring he looked for the
key to Parmalee's house up the Hud-
son.
He had forgotten perhaps another
failing of some of his countrymen; as
Peter once said himself, they founded
beliefs upon the wish to believe; 1t
never was suggested to DeWolfe that,
in spite of it's extravaganza, any part
of the story told by Brena Selcoss
might not be true.
He loved her.

district of pretense and high rents,

not one for clear thinking, but Peter,

MS forehead stared into the chimney
back.
During the voyage he had failed to
think to result Of any kind, and the
reasons were two. He defined them
now readily enough: they were the in

Brena. There had been the spell of the

CHAPTER XII

Peter had spent eight days upon the
sea and had landed on his own soil
again before he came to the full reali-
zation that mere reasoning will not
solve battling problems such as that
upon the untangling of which he now
had so much at stake.
He had come into New York without
word to his acquaintances; only Colby
Pennington of Pennington, Gould &
Goodhue, who was the son Of the elder
DeWolfe's attorney, knew of Peters
return from his long absence. This
lean, Unconditional lawyer looked upon
his young client, put in hand by the
death of the elder Pennington, as he
would upon an old heirloom without
much intrinsic value. The law bust
ness did not pay much in spite of the
size Of the Devote estate and the
younger DeWolfe was considered bv
those who are conventional, regular
and of stock patterns, as a rather I'M
certain mixture of quantity and
quality.
Pennington had never expected Pc
ter to explode or disgrace himself. but
the lawyer belonged to type Of cor
rect and regular life which does not
fear departures from correctness and
regularity and stock patterns of hui
man beings as much because of known
hazards as because Of the unknown
hazards which those who always plav
safe imagine lie in ambush behind in
dependence and originality and imagi-
nation. For instance 1t would have
disturbed the chilly Colby to have
known that Peter was returning from
a record of hard action, wounds and
decoration, without a word to his
friends, and that instead of going to
his club, he went like q returning
ghost, to his old apartment where the
heat Of the summer had been locked
in and where for many months the Sc
we're portrait of the elder DeWolfe had
directed an unbliEking gaze at the
door waiting for the sons return. Such
a return was not cut according to ap-
proved fashion and if Pennington had
known of it's nature he would have felt
a vague anxiety.
Peter knowing this merely asked,
after greeting, whether any cables
had come for him; finding that there
were none he went for lonely dinner
and a night alone in his apartment
with his trunks standing around among
the linen-covered chairs like fat, solid
men whom Peter had called in for con-
ference.
The fact was that Peter had deter
mined to hold a conference with him
self. He had opened the musty apart
ment which had been his bachelor re-
treat for several years; there had en-
tered only the unstirring, hushed air
which, as if itself exhausted by the
days heat. hung in night haze over
the city below his high windows and
dimmed the blinking, winking lights
across the park. The muffied sound of

lean, sinewy figure, at the clearness
of his eyes, the curve at his temples,
the outdoor cleanliness of his skin.
There was a suggestion of possession
in this quick inspection Of hers,
suggestion that he was hers as much
as If she had created him. But as II,
now, she belonged to him, she did his
bidding.
When she had finished writing at
the little antique desk, she threw the
red feather Of the quill pen onto the
table.
Peter had been thinking.
"Once MORE" he said.
He took her into his arms, holding
her head close to his shoulder; he
turned her chin up with the palm of
his hand and pressed again his lips
upon hers. He could hear the watch
In his own pocket ticking away the
seconds. He could hear her heart beat
ing slower rhythm.
"A long draught," he said at last. i
could not go so thirsty-away."
You mustn't CO."
"brena, dear one" he said. There
is only one thing to do now and that
must be done. Let's set our faces
like flint. think after all"
She knew as if by magic that which
he was going to say.
That there is more love in going
than in staying-for both of u.s."
"Yes," said Peter touching her fore
! head again "Good-hv
He closed the door quietly.
"Peter!" she called from behind 1t.
He continued down the carpeted
stairs and out into the f1rst morning
sunlight that came tumbling down
over the chimney pots into the narrow
street.
"VanishedT" he said aloud. "What
pifael And yet"
He looked about him: the street was
empty except for one small child who
was sweeping the sidewalk with a
broom three times the youngsters own
height.
Good morning." said Peter.
"S'fne mornin'," the one In kits
said.
hACoL SNSI' SOu1 TCLuTuOu refer.
Il amt boy I'm girl, sir"
'Well, it's fine morning in any
case"
Peter walked on, thinking; he had a
lot of thinking to do.
1t added somewhat to his need Of
thinking when he found at the steam
ship dock in Liverpool a plain en-
velope addressed to him in which was
a scrap of torn paper. Upon It In
typewriter letters and unsigned were
the words:
BE warned before it is too late"
Peter raised the scrap of paper to
his nose; it was pungent with an odor
of some strong chemical.
He stood thinking for a moment,
blinking at the reds and grays and
browns of the shipping in Liverpool
harbor and the distant sky yelled with
smut and smoke of city and barred by
smokestacks and masts.
On them-whoever they are" he
said. '"This time they've got a fight
on their hands,"

CHAPTER XIII

Peter, who had presented Brena's
letter to the caretaker of the Parma
lee estate and had received few sui
len references to the fact that the
place was great bother and was said
by many persons in the village to be
house of evil influences, had been d.
rected up the long hill under an arch
way Of dripping trees and stood at
last at the very gate which Parmalee
in his alcoholic fury had shaken as he
invited his imaginary prosecutors to
attack him.
The change in the weather, brought
about by the sudden turning landward
of heavy Atlantic storm, had trans
formed midsummer into chill, wet
March. The cold, damp wind swept
across the top Of the hill, tossing the
arms OF the trees within the walled
inciosure to which the gate gave en-
trance, SO that these arms appeared to
| be sssaulting the French roof OF the
| square gloomy old house, as II that
| house had committed some crime
Weeds and rank growth had sprung
up along the wall and behind the gate
in the crevices of the fiagstones of
the walk; each stalk, bending with the
nights rain, shed drops Of water like
weeping mourner. Peter, having
glanced up at the windows behind
which Brena had heard the winds of
winter whine and complain and had
watched the pale moon throw uancing
shadows on the dank lawn, felt his own
skin shrink in response to the thought
of all that young girl must have sur
fered here. He would square the &C
count for herl
The squeak Of the caretaker's key
in the rusty lock Of the gate started up
dozen crows cawing madly as II
driven from some carrion feast. When
Peter had used Brena's key to unlock
the front door, hideous with its black
walnut carvings and its stained and
loaded glass, the odor Of dust and de-
cay filed his nose as with dry and
suffocating powder. Without volition
Of his own his ears strained to hear
some sound, some retreating foot
steps, some whispered voice In that
house, but none came; the place was
as still as a dry cave. In this still
ness, in the smell of the dead air,
there was the faint tremor of fear as
if fear once having taken abode In
this gloomy old residence, was not to
be evicted as If indeed it chung when
all other personalities had gone just
as the odor of dead smoke remains
long after the living fire has grown
cold.
J With a gesture of Impotence Peter
closed the door behind him and walked
toward the foot of the long, austere
flight Of black walnut stairs. He could
see from his position the gray light
coming through barred windows into
the dining room where on the table
beautiful Chippendale, strangely out
of place in the unpleasant, high stud.

saucer with spoon In it as If some
ghostly presence had just that moment
arisen from lonely bowl OF phantom
Cruel. The door nearer the front Of
the house. the entrance no doubt to
the library of Parmelee, was almost
closed; Peter glanced at it and as
cended the stairs.
