Steve asked Sandra.
mo. I've given up reading them.
Every time I open a paper these days
something hops out and nips me-"
THE Courtlandts have announced
the engagement of Bubbles to Rene
le Fargo. Quite yarn about It,"
''Hooray!" Sandra cried. "Check
one off my worry list. I trust its
not to be long engagement"
According to the papers they are
to be married within the month and
spend the Summer with the baron's
parents at their castle in the south
of Belgium"
Great! I'll give Bubbles a port

Plumbing in broken-down castles is

Shed better take mad money with
her" the Queen cut in. ''These guys
wear SO well.
Bubbles doesn't expect him to
wear" Sandra said. Hes merely a
show piece for a season or two"
Steve was preoccupied, i'll at ease,
Sandra sensed. He had been in the
garden an hour. perhaps less, when
he managed to draw her into the
house on pretense of showing her a
situation in a manuscript on which
he was working and of getting her
opinion of it. He produced the man
uScript from q coat pocket to give
weight to the pretense.
Il told you to lay off rising young
authors, didn't I. Sandy?" the Queen
reminded. They always got hand
full of paper to pull on you, when
what you want is load of steak
and French frieds."
Inside, Steve turned to Sandra,
caught both her hands.
Il must be under way" he said.
II broke a date, or part of it, to
come on here. I don't want to go.
l don't want to leave you, Sandy. l

1t was on Sandra's tongue to say:
Then why not stay?" Mistake. No
urging No wheedling. She had been
urged and wheedled The result had
been to turn her in the opposite di-
rection. Steve must make his own
decisions. AS she had made hers.
1T is rather a hubby little gar

More than nubby. It's a little

had been so clear. so straight, so blue!

heart. They are Steye'S eyes. He may
look where he will.
The garden gate is always OPEN"
Sandra said. Drop in when you feel
like Paradising.'
Steve raised one of the hands he
imprisoned, pressed it against his
cheek.
Sandy, I wish" There he
stopped.
We can't be shot for wishing"
Sandra withdrew her hands. Better
step on it, Steve. It's bad form to
be more than an hour late for any
engagement" Why had she said that?
Pride. No, pride in reason was sound.
She was no nursemaid. Even if Steve
was a small boy. A small boy in the
land of make believe. Playing with
tops. Tops that spun and went on
spinning without being wound.

had to be made to stop coveting Steve.
As early as she could decently do so,
she would go to Chez Clement and see
Val. Meantime she must formulate
some plan of attack. Ruthless plan.
No quarter asked or given. Val was a
physical coward. Threat Of losing the
luxury she had won by marriage with
Gil would give her fright. Sandra
would tell Val that she was going to
get in touch with Gil and give him the
truth about Val's plan to trap him
into proposing-about her vamping

Steve's goodnight was SO reluctant
that Sandra felt guilty. She could
have held him there, safe in a garden.
Was he getting fed up with top
spinning, as he had said? Essentially,
Steve was sound, of this she felt GER

she said weakly:
He had her hand now and he led
her up the steps. Three times, al
ready he had asked her to marry
him, and the last time she had tried
to be rude to him, tried purposely,
to stop him. They both remem-
bered; she saw it in his face, but
he was nice about it; he did not
look into her eyes just then. He
took her into the library. 1t was
big and square and friendly, and
the books lined it richly. A log
had just been kindled on the brass
andirons; in a bowl on the table
were, some snowdrops and pussy
willows. A tight pain clutched at
Nancy's heart, like the closing of a
wise. She saw Page Roemer's face
as plainly as if he stood there,
speaking to her. Then she heard
Richards voice.
"Sit down, Nancy. Here's
mothers favorite chair. I'll let
you have it."
His mother had been one of the
rich Kentucky Weatherills; she had
brought her fortune to the little old
town and made it wonder over her
resources and DR.. Henry Morgan..s
luck. Her death two years ago
had left all the money to her only
son. DR.. Henry hadn't any to
leave, but he had left a practice
and a good name; Richard had
those, toe. 1t was called the Nor
gan luck.
Richard pushed his mothers big
winged armchair forward now for
Nancy. As he did it, the clock on
the mantle struck six.
Nancy started. "What can you
think of me? I know you haven't,
breakfasted-I had to come!" She
had not accepted the chair, she
stood by the fire, pulling at her
gloves. She was shaking from her
head to foot with an ague of fear.
II had to come, Richard!"
"Yes?" his voice was low, what
is it, Nancy?"
She did not answer; she averted
her face and he saw her delicate
chin trembling. A pang of bitter
ness shot through him.; he knew

THIRD INSTALLMENT

1t was still in the room. The
yellow light flared low in the lamp
on the table. There lay the news
paper as it had dropped the night
before, and her mothers work
basket was overturned by the
hearth. Roddy had knocked it
down when he sprang at his. father.
Roddy was going to Jail!
Nancy gasped. On the chair
were her furs, her hat and her
gloves, just as she had tossed them.
She drew a long breath, averting her
eyes from her fathers gray face and
went to the chair. Swiftly and
stealthily she put on her hat, her
furs, and her gloves. Then she
stole u into the hall, dropped the
chain-bolt, opened the front door,
and slipped silently out of the still
house.
1t was broad daylight outside
now; the morning air touched her
hot face gratefully like cold clear
water. 1t was February and the
pussy-willows swung over her
head. AT her feet some yellow
crocusses shot up, just opening lit
tie yellow eyes in the grass like the
yellow eyes of Roddy's siren,
Nancy stamped her foot on the

| ground, it was that woman who
had done it. She knew it with the
unerrlng jealous second sight of a
woman. 1t wasn't Wall Street, it
wasn't curb-brokers, it wasn't
gambling, it was hat woman with
the fascinating eyes; she wanted
money and she had made a boy steal
it for her!
Nancy opened the gate and walk
ed rapidly down the street never
looking back. Sunrise made the
flagstones white between the new
green of the grass; keen little blades
of it thrust up through the new
brown earth and cleaned in the sun
like metal. The red maple buds
were like a scarlet haze. There was
Major Lomax's house, the little one
standing back. Nancy walked
, faster; if she did not hurry she
would never do it. There was the
low, black iron gate-it was ajar,
waiting for her! She drew her
breath, opened it wider and went
in.
She went up the steps, lifted the
-! old brass knocker, let it fall with
a clang and starting, trembling, .tc
run away again. But she was only
just down the steps when the door
opened wide and Richard Morgan
stood there, looking at her.
He was not very tall but SC
loosely built and lean hat he looked
taller. There was a white band
on his forehead, above the tan of
his lean face, and his eyes held you.
Strange eyes, brown with green
lights glistening in still brown
pools.
Nancy put her hand out and laid
it on the tall stem of one of his
young trees.
Il came to see you Richard
He came,down the steps, holding
out his hand.

He became aware suddenly of

a thing of iron about her; she felt
as if they pressed into her heart,
and yet there wa a culver in them;
the thrill of his own heart-beats
shook them. But his eyes were

beat down on her like rain.

she faltered weakly, childishly, "but'
