CHAPTER XIII.
The Arrival.

AS the train rolled into Shadow
Valley. Fay rose from her seat and
moved along the aisle. Through the
window she had caught a glimpse of
the station, painted red and nesting
in green shrubbery. There was a
cool mountain breeze. a freshness in
the air that was exhiliarating.
Cars were lined up on the gravel
drive, cars that We're evidently FOR
hire. for as Fay nodded a man came
forward and took her bags and also
asked her if she had check for
trunk.
She ws just settling herself in the
back seat of the car when, glancing
around, she saw the blond man she
had noticed in the train. Involuntary
she started, but as her eyes met his
for a brief instant, she gave no sign
Of recognition.
The driver piled her luggage beside
her and then jumped onto the front.
He was turning the car preparatory
to driving out of the station yard
when again Fay gave a start.
There was the dark man whose gray
eyes had so disturbed her. He also
had left the train at Shadow Valley,
so evidently it was not the last she
would see Of him. Even If he were
not staying at the Poppy Inn, Shadow
Valley could not be a very large place
She would doubtless meet him before
she left, and if she did she would show
an indifference to match his. On that
point she was determined.
AS they drove along Fay looked
around eagerly.
Shadow Valley was a typical New
England village. The houses We're
large and white and pillared, with
bright green blinds. In the distance
stretched the blue line of the Berk'
shire hills. To Fay, who had never
before been in this part of Massachu-
sets. the place was fascinating, with
its gigantic old trees and it's feeling
of tradition. She wriggled eXcitedly
and then, as the car made q sudden
sharp turn and drew up before a long
da zzingly white hotel, its verandaS
awninged in green, she knew that at
last she had arrived. The curtain was
about TO so up on the first act As
the heroine made her entrance on the
stage.
a porter ran down the shallow
white steps and took charge of her
bags. and then she was following him
up the steps and past a barraSe OF
eyes that seemed to come from all di-
rections, into the dim, cool lobby be-
yond.
There were several people at the
desk signing the register and being
assigned to rooms. and as Fay waited
there We're several more arrivals. The
tall blond man came into the lobby
but Fay gave no sign of having seer
him, even when he came up and stood
beside her and she knew that he was
scrutinizing her closely -
He was just behind her when she
stepped up to the register, so that

Be ready to grin and bear the worst
