qualified to map cut plan. Only
that way had ceased to work.
Therefore, obviously. it was the
wrong way. Eileen's was a severely
practical sort OF mind. limited in
many ways, inadequate to the
new demands that were beng
made upon it. But it was an es
sentially simple mind and 1t re-
jected without dispute any scheme
that didn't work.
What she didn't immediately al
low for-what she didn't, indeed,
see at all--was The devasting eff
feet upon her OF the realization
that John wasn't infallible. Shed
always acted upon the assumption
that he was. She wanted still to
think that he was. And yet. in the
days of thinking that followed
upon his autocratic purchase OF
the Long Island horse, she WAS
compelled to face the fact that he
wasn't. He had, she was convinced,
Numbered in this; he had blundered
almost as badly in the matter OF
their apartment. Each time he
had definitely crossed a line; had
invaded a domain in which she
had proved herself cal able and
sane.
And, she had to remember, he
had been appallingly close to dis
aster at home, before they had
come to New York Mt all. Except
for her and her savings. that store
OF ready money she hid had in re-
serve, he would have gone down
in a smash that would have wiped
out all the fruits OF his work,
made of no avail all the sacrifices
they had made together. And
he had not, he could not have, an
ticipated the danger from which
she had saved him. Sire knew him
too we'll to think he had, now that
she put her mind to work. So-ghe
faced the inevitable conclusion.
Even in business. even in his own
special field, John was not infall-
ible.
That realization, dismaying at
first, comforted her, too, in
way. For, If John were not in
fallible, and he was not-being,
after all, human-she might, per-
haps, do well to rely upon her
instinct. And her instinct warned
her still. as it had from the first,
against Johns disposition to trust
his new associates completely. 1t
never had seemed reasonable to
her that they should sincerely
welcome into their small, inner
circle. a newcomer whose en-
trance had been made by violence.
They might, they probably did,
recognize Johns ability, his
power, his special gifts. They
could and would make use of
them. But-they would do it to
further their own ends, not be-
cause OF any liking for him. The
more she thought along these
lines the more disturbed and CON

TT became necessary, as 1t seemed
i to her it now had. for her to
cross him in the matter that had
become of major Importance to
him. And yet, though she saw that,
though ,she was anxious to be
entirely fair to him, she could
not, she was very sure. yield to
him now.
It had been one thing. and a
thing quite bad enough, quite
serious enough in its potential eff
feet upon their marriage, to drift
along when she was totally I'M
aware of the rocks that lay ahead.
But it would be fatal to continue
TO do it now that her eyes we're
open, now that she was beginning
TO see how seriously at fault she
had been in the past.
Eileen was beginning to see her
self, and John. and their mar
rage, in far more realistic .colors
than she ever had before. She
had. hitherto. taken certain things
for granted; accepted them as
matters OF course. And she was
now being forced to see that that
can never safely be done; that in
no human relationship, and eS-
pecially not in marriage, can any
thing be taken for granted.
It wasn't surprising, she realized
now, that coming to New York
had created a whole new set of
problems for them. 1t wasn't
strange at all, as she had been
thinking it was. that John, here,
should be so different, so unlike
the younger man who had been
her lover and her husband. She
had to make allowance for the
new forces that were working
upon him. az well as upon her;
she had to begin, she could see,
to make q new and sterner ef-
fort to understand and ana1yze
those forces; she had to determine
the part she, herself, must pay.
But, even IL John was. right in
what ne wanted her to DO, si1e
could not do 1t simply and solely
because of his desire that she
should. Heretofore that had been
reason enough, always, for her;
that John wanted something.
Now it couldn't be; that was
clear. 1t wasn't an easy thing
10 decide; 1t wasn't, altogether, g.
pleasant thing for her TO face.
1t had been very simple. in the
past, to let John rule her: to let
him do all the thinking; never to
worry about any course of action
50 long as 1t was what John had
suggested.
1t was going to be hard to as
sumo now, after all these years,
the responsibility for ner own de-
cision. She was not accustomed
TO it. She was, by nature, diff
dent; she had always been ready

Of hills and terraces and distant
water, was now scene Of half
drowsy excitement. On one sofa
a young man slept, a hstless
hand trailing the floor. Near by,
stretched on two chairs and now
and then restlessly turning was
a girl of Is. But these poses were
no more noticed than the furni-
ture.
The excitement centered about a
group at the door. Three girls,
three fellows. A fourth girl en-
tering.
What a hell Of place to spend
the weekend" she murmered in
distinctly. I'm tired-wanta go to
sleep. Can't find a bed in the
house. Been everywhere"
She flung a long brown braid Of
hair over her shoulder and gave an
uncertain tug to her shoulder
strap. She was barefooted and in
her nightgown and now slumped
on a sofa between two OF the
youths who assisted her in re-
adjusting the shoulder strap.
"Oh, Lord" thought Jerry bit

She paused at the landing on the
second floor. There was a balcony
here just above the veranda. 1t,
too, overlooked the wide swinging
valleys, the inspired march Of dis

in the very shadow Of the light
house.
The days were warm, though
the nights were still chilly. Some
times she took 4 book and
packet 81 sandwiches and went to
lie on the beach. The sun-warmed
sands were soothing to her; there
was infinite peace and comfort in
the ageless, endless surging Of the
sea, the resistless advance. the

an amused exclamation, at the

Eileen sat UP and smiled.
''Why?" she said. It's not my

''Oh, OF course; but I nearly
stepped on you!"
Nearly doesn't count. |" she
said.
She didn't know when she had
felt az she did now, when she
had before, if indeed she ever
had. spoken freely. casually, TO 4
man she hadn't met. But about
this young mamie was young
younger than she, no older any
way--there was something engag-
ing and disarming. She had liked
his looks the moment she saw
him; she knew, instinctively, that
here was one attunted to her
spirit.
He stood above her. looking
down, smiling, with his eyes
though, not his lips, which was
what, somehow. made all the diff
ference. She hadn't known. until
this stranger looked at her so,
how hungry, how starved, she
had been, these many weary
weeks, for just that look in

friendly, interested.

An hour later she was winding
through the trees on a bank
above the grove. dangerous
August night-breathless except
for the drift Of perfume from
that vast bed Of stocks.
In the shadows couples were
seated. murmurs of their whis-

couples moved languidly. She
was used to all this--this open
petting; this surfeit OF caresses.
And she now very callously re-

AS they moved to the rail,
Jessie Reinach, a tall, spineless
girl full OF squeaks and squeals
and willing at any embarrassing
cost TO win masculine attention,
now came from the dance hall
swinging a brilliant Chinese shawl
tightly about her.
Someone pulled the fringe.

Swish went the shawl. Jessie

In moment two or three were

away at night Eileen went
ahead. And. as matters turned
out, Fielding's bark proved worse
than his bite. He made changes,
but he did, az a matter of fact,
succeed in preserving much of
the house that she had loved at
sight, and the additions were cum
ningly and skillfully contrived.
The house, as it finally began to
take its new form, greatly resem-
bled it's old self; its new bulk was
concealed; Eileen found herself
falling in love with 1t all over
again, almost in spite OF herself.
BY May part Of it was inhabit-

certain work was done. John was

could see, there was nothing,
however, that she could do. She
had not a friend in the world
to whom she could 90 for ad-
vice. Even the few intimate
friends she still had at home she
could not talk to; loyalty to John
forbade it.
And of the people she had met
in New York there was not one
to whom she was attracted; in
whom she had real confidence.
She was. she thought, the lone
Hest woman alive. And she faced,
and knew she faced, a future
full of menace and danger. A
blow was coming; every instinct
she had warned her of that.
