CHAPTER FoRTY-FIvE Con

O'Clock. In spite Of all her resolu-
ton, Ellen was frightened. She felt
young and inexperienced and sat
close to Larry as the car sped
through whirling snow up Park
avenue. Above them lights twin
killed. against the early dusk.
They stopped at a towering
apartment, house, entered jewel
box Of an elevator, and we're lifted
upward.
Ellen drew a deep breath. Her
eyes we're like stars and her cheeks
were blazing. With Larry she en-
tered a richly furnished, warmly
lighted apartment. The curtains
we're drawn and there was a crack
ling fire in the CRATE.
MRS. HARROWGATE came to
1V1 meet them. She was a smart,
thin, skillfully made-up woman,
wearing a Paris gown.
She appeared hospitable and at
the same time vaguely formidable.
She seemed anxious to make
amends for the past, yet her man
ner was not quite convincing.
1t seemed impossible for Larry's
mother to make a generous sur
render. She did apologize casually
for her negligence, but it was with
an air Of expecting instant pardon.
Ellen smiled shyly in confusion
and inclined her head. She knew
she never would come to like Mrs.
HarroWgate, but she could get along
with her. The older woman dropped
a light kiss on the girls forehead,
linked arms with her and drew her
forward into the warm, flower
scented living room.
Ellen never was to forget the hour
that followed. There were tea
roses in blue bowl on the low
polished coffee table where Mrs.
Harrowgate stationed herself to
pour the tea.
Always ever afterward the sweet
neavy odor was to bring the scene
back to the girl. She would see that
room again in all it's luxurious and
infinite detail.
She would hear Mrs. Harrowgate's
throaty voice slipping along in con-
versation that was gracious, but not
from the heart. She would remem-

smile he flashed toward her fire.
quently.
An outsider would have observed
only a starry-eyed, flushed young
girl in a smoky velvet dress, sitting
at tea with man who obviously
adored her and an older woman who
adored them both.
But for two of them the meeting
meant much more than that. To
Larry and to Ellen this was the be-
ginning of true happiness. Nothing
now stood in the way of their mar
riage.
What Mrs. Harrowgate was think
ing and feeling would have been
hidden from an outsider as it was
hidden from Larry by his mothers
deft and accustomed worldliness.
The hour fled away. Ellen
glanced at Larry with the inter-
rogative glance that asked if he
were ready to leave. He stirred,
prepared to rise. Mrs. Harrowgate
caught the gesture.

CILENTLY they went through the
~ entrance way to the street that
was a crystal canyon of ice and
snow.
Ellen's gloves were crumpled in
her hands. Nervously she began to
draw them On and felt in the left
glove the crackle of paper. She re-
membered with throb of fear how
Fergus had avoided Larry's grasp
to drop the gloves in her lap.
Several times as they rode toward
the apartment she stole glanceS at
him, thinking he looked pale and
tired and wondering what was in
that left glove held so tightly in her
palm.
There was no opportunity to find
out until after Larry had left her,
The instant the door closed behind
him she turned the glove inside out.
A bit of paper fell into her hand.
Written upon it were the fol-
lowing words:
l. II oSC JOO dL JOuA l1OlAlC dI o.
The girl dropped the message to
the floor, stopped, picked it up and
crumpled it into a savage ball
which she hurled into the waste
basket.
Without troubling to remove her
coat, still adorned with Larry's vio-
lets, she began to walk up and down
the living room. The place was
bleakly cold and the whole apart
ment filled with brooding quiet.
When Ellen snapped on the lights,
she saw Molly had left note for
her on the library table. Molly
and Myra had gone to the movies.

he would be able to get about with

dropped on the cheek of the sleep
ing boy, but he did not waken.
Ellen returned to the living room,
lighted the gas in the CRATE and
lay down on the divan to stare at
the ceiling.
Suddenly it was September again.
