CHAPTER XVIII

z CAN'T break my engagement"
u Helen said stiff1y. Il only can
ask to be released"
Bob drew back from her, white
to the lips. Her attitude was incom-
prehenSible to him except from one
angle-she did not truly love him.
Argument, his naturally logical
brain told him, would be useless.
What could it mean to a girl who
either was not very deeply in love
or who was caught up in fallacies,
to be told that only fool would
keep to a mere engagement when
disaster threatened the outcome?
Bob wondered what Helen could
think of it, wondered that she could
not see, as he did. that the course
she was taking was sordid rather
than idealiStic.
A moment Of anger f1ared up in
his heart against her-the resent
ment of clean youth for evil COM
promise. 1t wiped from his mind
the question he wanted to ask her.
The name of the man she was going
to marry.
going to marry" The
words echoed in BobS mind as a
sentence to lifelong unhappiness.
No man would let her go. Rot! A
decent man but not while he
thought she might love him.
Bob felt himself slipping into a
maze of doubt and fear. But he
could not argue, could not plead his
own case further.
What appeared to be uncertainty
on her part drove him to cruelty
He would not recognize quixotism
as her prompter. he was too modern
for that, and he knew nothing of
| her sense of obligation. To him she
was insure of her heart, and he had
no tolerance for her.
Then" he said quietly, coldly,
you're a bit of a rotter."
All that he knew of needless. even
criminal, self-Sacriflce; all that he
knew of lives wasted for false pre-
cepts of honor; all that he realized
Of right and wrong was behind his
words.
What seemed her stupidity, that
denied her brain. her apparent lack
of courage to change her course
when, to any one but fool, the
danger signals all were set against it
these too had helped to call forth
his scathing remark
TIE had thought of her as brave
Il and fearleSs-never juggler
with the tender passion. Love, he
had believed, would come to her as
true and untrampled as it had come
to him. How it could involve two
men at the same time was an i'm
penetrable mystery 10 him

''You know in your heart that he
does" Bob retorted.
But I mean to tell him about
this" Helen appeased him, land

Bob looked deep into her eyes
before answering. you kissed me
good-by a moment ago." he said
quietly. eve both knew that, Helen.
Why do you try to deceive me with
false hopes noW?"
"Oh, I'm not, I'm not" Helen
cried. I'm telling you all the truth.
But I'm afraid. You have, in way
called all men beasts for you say
any man could seek to hold me
hold the girl he loved-Whether she
cared for him or not"
You knew you would have to re-
fuse me before I said that" Bob
answered.
Helen swayed against him and he
fought with himself to keep from
crushing her to his breast.

above Whisper. yes, knew that,
Bob"
How"
"I don't know. 1t was just a feel
ing, but I'm daring to hope that I
am wrong-that we will be allowed
to tatke our happiness"
That's up to you," Bob retorted
rather harshlv. "ThiS isn't tie daV
for foolish mistakes about love,
Helen. If you know that you do not
love this man-it is unforgivable of
you to marry him"
Helen tried to answer his honest
gaze with one as equally frank, but
she knew that the complexity of her
situation was worlds removed from
the direct path he pointed out to
her.
There was, for instance, the debt
she owed Leonard Brent.

! love to love itself was beyond his
understanding.
His youthful hardness, steeled by
the thought that she would go
through with a lovelesS match, was
a phase of masculinity that Helen
never had encountered before.
Brent had been cruel on occasion,
true, but his was the suave cruelty
of a hidden menace-the Sheathed
claw. that cut lightly on the surface
but bit deep into the heart.
The frankness of Bob's generation
was unknown to her.
She did not finch before the blow.
Perhaps she was too shocked to
show by so much as a flicker of her
eyelidS that it had struck her with
terrific force.
without another word Bob turned
and strobe out of the room. Mrs.
Wethering, uneasily waiting in the
library, saw him fling himself out
of the house, leaving the front door
open behind him, as though he were
pursued by a demon.
She hurried to the kitchen, but
Helen had fled up the rear stairs to
her room.
Mrs. Wethering gathered up the
things that we're to have gone into
the preparation of their midnight
supper and put them away. Later
she went to Helen'S door and lis
tened.
She thought she detected the
sound of muff1ed Sobs, but when she
tried the door and found it locked
she hesitated to demand admittance.
The sounds gradually grew fainter
and finally the housekeeper decided
that it would be better for Helen if
she left her alone.
The next morning the girl was
pale and worn, with Swallowed eyes
in which there was an unhealed
wound.
Mrs. Wethering was very gentle
and remained with Helen while she
breakfasted, or rather while she
went through the motions Of par
taking of her fruit and coffee. She
hoped Helen would confide in her
and went so far as to mention hav-
ing witnessed Mr.. Ennis hasty de-
parture the night before.
Still Helen said nothing, but
there was on her face set, cold
expression that warned Mrs. Weth-
ering that the incident, whatever 1t
was, had serious aspect.
Mars. WETHERING sighed over
NI her inability to administer
comfort and suggested t,?2t Helen
ought to get out into the open.
"You haven't driven your car very
much lately" she said. why don't
you let me fix out a picnic lunch
and you can telephone for some one
to go for a long drive with you?
The weather is lovely"
I'm going to New York" Helen
answered quietly.
Mrs. Wethering was disturbed
greatly, but she did not dare offer
any opposition. There was about
Helen an air of determination that
plainly indicated she was set upon
a course from which she could not
be swerved.

with pain. Love! She had called her
school girl infatuation for Brent by
that sacred name.
She felt herself shaking with
historical laughter. knew that In a
moment 1t would peal out hooking
" to betray her complete emotional
upset.
Bob's arms offered her a haven.
It was impossible to Stave of her
mounting hysteria and fight the
temptation 70 have him hold her
close at the same time.
And she wanted to be there, her
head on his shoulder. forgetting
her mistakes. Surrender was too
sweet to be resisted.
The instant she lost her battle
Bob's arms slipped about her. But
he did not kiss her now and she
lay passive until the soft, broken
sobs gave way to easier breathing
and the beating of her heart was
less the pounding of a trip-hammer.
Then she lifted her hands, placed
the palms against his cheeks and
raised her head to press her lips to
his. Bob needed no words from her
to interpret that kiss for him. 1t
sent the message of her love TO him
more convincingly than anything
else could have done.
And yet he knew that it was
farewell careSs. The bitter-sweet
anguish that filed Helen's heart
moved somehow into his own.
WHEN she drew away from him
Whe did not seek to hold her
The old knowledge that he could
not possess her had caught him in
its grip again and he was helpless
against the inevitableneSs Of their
parting.
II love you. I love you. I love
you" The words pounded over and
over against Helen'S quiverlng lips,
but she refused them utterance.
Bob would know it-would be
easier II she did not say it.
Helen" he pleaded in a rush Of
despair, you aren't going through
with 1t? You aren't going to marry
any one else?"

RAlen told him.
~Of course he viii want you'll But
can't you see what beast that

smile. Perhaps you misudge him, .

much as you think"
