husband had changed his tactics so
slightly that the difference could be
discerned only by woman's intuition
rather than by any exercise of her
logical powers. His later manner
seemed to suggest that her continued
aloofness was beginning to verge on
folly. She had read the proceedings
in the probate division as reported In
the newspapers. She knew well 1t was
Alistair's firmness which modified his
uncles fiery refusal OF any kind of
support to Johns claim for recog-
nition She had heard him reasoning

She was brought into the family
conclave because she alone possessed
any of Johns letters. Alistair did not
resent even that somewhat discon-
certing fact. Indeed. his attitude
throughout had been altogether fine.
She. was secretly afraid Of him. At
times she wondered whether she
really hated him or was herself the
slave of an absurd and untenable
prejudice.
So Alstair's plea for a fair under
standing had gone to London, and, If
John took the trouble to answer at
once, they could have heard from him
that day. But no letter came. The
post from Mallaig arrived round about
2 in the afternoon. and Alistair had
stayed at home purposely. After tea
he and the other men went on the
loch. The indisposition which kept
Lord Oban away from the probate
division seemed to have passed sud
a fly 80 yards with a heavy salmon
rod and had yielded to Eileen's
earnest wish that he should remain in
the North until the moors had been
shot over. In very truth, Mr.. Harvey.
X c., had toned down his lordship's
anger into illness. 1t was just as well.
Had father and son met in open court
there might have been an unpleasant.
an almost tragic scene.
Eileen was desperately distressed by
Johns failure to write. He might at
least have telegraphed that letter
was on the way. In the depths Of her
heart she had hoped. during the first
week or ten days after Johns return
from Canada, that he would COM
municate with her direct. But the
silence of years remained unbroken.
Had he really banished her from his
mind? Was there another girl per-
haps a wife? What a blow to her
pride, what a reward for her fidelity,

But Mrs. Alistair Panton-the Eileen

in no mood to appreciate the ever

in sunshine or storm. Her gaze was
interpretive because her troubled
thoughts were elsewhere. True, she
had gone out into the open with set
