Joyce's voice broke, and Kitty drew
her into her arms.
Long and earnestly Kitty talked to
the tired and bewildered girl in the
days which followed, wearing down her
resistance.
Through sheer exhaustion Joyce finally
gave in. After all she was tired Of
travelling. More tired than she had
realized, weary to the soul. Maybe
Roger had seen this-maybe this was
his way of protecting her from adven-

Her broad hand gently stroked the girls

A quick little contraction of Joyce's
heart at that. How much did Kitty
know! Comfort in the thought that
she had run away from Jim Keith.
She had been true to her agree
ment with Roger. She was glad she
had nothing for which to reproach
herself.
They had made few acquaintances,
these three and no real friends, on
their wanderings. A few of the English
and American tourists came to offer
conventional sympathy. They had al
ways been skeptical Of this May and
December marriage, and they viewed
Joyce'S reserved grief with polite sus-
piCion.

warm Adriatic Perhaps he would have
wished it that way. Near TO flowers and
the sun, to youth and laughter. Far
away from the Riverton Paper Mil and
the cannery, from Main street and the
ugly brick house on the Crest.
A few days later Kitty hesitantly
produced letter, sealed and addressed
to Joyce in Roger Cameron's shaky
writing
He gave 1t to me about month ago
after that bad spell he had in Venice.
He felt it couldn't be long-an' l sup
pose he wanted to get it down while
he was able to write"
Kitty was watching the girl with
troubled eyes as she spoke. She hoped
old Roger had written something which
would comfort Joyce now. Had he
really known how genuinely fond of him
she had been?
A strange letter. A few brief
sentences of praise-"You have made
me very happy realized at the
time Of our marriage, what a risk we
were both taking and how slight the
margin for success. 1t has been
successful beyond my widest hopes
" 1t went on to state the terms
of his will, and instructed her to get in
touch with Lloyd Weaver, his attorney
in Riverton. His WILL said the letter
provided her with all of his fortune with
one exception and upon one condition.
She must return to Riverton for a pc
riod of five years, and live in the old
brick house in company with Mrs
Comeron and Natalie The exception
was smaller sum which went to Cora
Cameron so long as she, too, complied
with this curious condition.
There was one last sentence which
leaped at the startled girls eyes
perhaps and echo of that scene in the
bow of the ship which the old man
had secretly witnessed. Joyce must not
marry for the same period of time or
she would forfeit the money.
A chuckle from the grave for

mother to have Joyce in the same home

on a pilgrimage for color
Roger Cameron lay under the awning
soaking the sun into his old bones. He
loved to see Joyce and Kitty bathing
or strolling the beach as though he en-
joyed vicariOuSly their pleasure.
One day he watched his young wife
as she lay on the cot beside him under
the awning. Joyce had just come from
a swim. Her suit clung to her in damp
patches, the color Of wet amethyst.
Her hair was a tangle of dark red and
her skin dazzling white by contrast.

The old man put out veined hand

The white lids lifted and dark violet
eyes looked at him. She did not an

soft, full lips to that gentle old hand.
The quest for color was ended. Old
Rogers reprieve was done. There, at
the Lido-amid the gay awnings and
the little beach houses and the foolish
undressed cafe parties, he died.

gray hospital so long ago had been
reached.
Joyce had not thought it possible to
miss any one as she missed Roger.
Some warm and benign influence had
passed out of her life. She missed his
ugly, intelligent old face. Missed the
hour when she had sat beside HMM

FERRARA RET|RES
FROM CUBAN POST
Praises Work of Pan-Ameri-
can Union in Speech at
Farewell Luncheon.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Orestes Ferrara, the newly appointed
minister Of foreign affairs Of Cuba
was given a farewell luncheon yesterday
at the Pan-American Union on the
occasion of his retirement as Cuban
Ambassador to the United States.
His principal work here has been in
connection with bringing about bet
ret understanding between the two
Americas Secretary of State Henry
L. Stimson, who is also chairman OF
the governing board of the Pan-Amer-
ican Union, voiced regret in short
speech: Our qualification at the high
honor which has come to Mr.. Ferrara
is tinged with deep feeling of regret
that We are to be deprived of his coun-
sci and companionShip in the work OF
the Pan-American Union. As its vice
chairman he has never wavered In his
enthusiasm and devotion for the pur-
pose for which the union was founded.
The new foreign secretary of Cuba,
who is a keen student of history. and
especially of the diplomatic history Of
bygone days, replied:
Bans Secret Treaties.
Pan -Ainericanism is not merely a
continental institution, but a notable
step in the progress of ideas and in the
Improvement of our collective life. 1t
has eXiled from international pro-
ceGure secret agreements, by which a
well organized minority could over
whelm the majority in conferences and
congresses.
The collective labors of the Ameri-
cas- has placed international law in the
field of ethics, acknowledging that there
exists higher principle than sanctions.
1t was in Pan-American assemblies that
the recourse to war, formerly considered
the supreme expression of sovereignty
was first stricken by responsible pow
ers from the law of nations.
The policy of balance of power,
which colored international life during
the last and the beginning of the pres
ent century was never accepted in
America.
An international structure like the
Pan American Union does not neces-
sarily presuppoSe perfection. Conflicts
Of interest exist and will continue to
exist. but the results of such conflicts
are weakened. The solution is found
not in the threatening and arrogant
diplomacy of other times, nor in po-
htical or economic aggression, but on
the application of the principles of
justice.
In international affairs it must be
recognized that this part Of the world
has set history new course and open
ed new horizon tc law"

quered, they were driven out be-
fore the end of the season by
the little whips Of laughter.
The professor returned to his
Mid-Western university, Won
dering how much of a fool he
had made of himself, and,
exactly, why. He tried to for
get it-and Joyce-but his wife
made that difficult for him.
Aside from this the summer
was uneventful. Then one day
shortly before her return to
town Joyce took out the little
roadster that had been LouiSa'S
graduation gift-for country
Alse-"Tll not have you driving
IN city traffic, my dear,"-and
went for a long drive along
roads that wound lazily in and
out of the sweet, low hills. The
trees had not yet turned but
there was a blue autumnal
haze. and a clean, virile smell
of burning brush. On the way
home she stopped on a high,
windy place, drew her car to
the side of the road and sat
there, her hands in her lap,
dreaming a little, looking at the
horizon. There. bright as
drawn sword, was a flash of
silver water. far away, lovely.

briskly along, knickerbockered,
