to Larry that night.
The mans answering shout of mirth
was reflected in her own reluctant
smile.
They're Just ignorant" he assured
her earnestly. They don't mean a
thing! Why, you ought to know what
small towns are-and a small town
with a luscious morsel like you to
chew on-say! They can't get at the
Therrolds, you see, so it's natural for
'em to come and gnaw on you" His
infectious, boyish laughter sounded
again. Reminds me of the story of
the bull pup that ate the court Bible.
The judge couldn't make the witness
kiss the Bible-so he made him kiss
the bull pup instead"
It was easy to laugh with Larry.
Rose had almost forgotten how.

with wind-whipped banners and
strange yellow faces alien voices,
Not" Rose told herself grimly,
"that they were any more alien than
these of Harvey's home town!"
Even the little cottage by the river
had received its share Of surveillance.
Despite the grateful shade cast by
the horse-chestnut trees by the sag
| ging porch, Rose had come to avoid
using her small front yard, confining
herself to the wild tangle of garden
that sloped to the river at the rear.
She had been conscious from the first
of the watchful eyes on the porches
across the road-where old Mrs. Gus
tbs rocked necessarily in her window.
where Mrs. BaSsett loitered close to
her own front gate, under pretext of
reading her evening paper: where the

eye to the pickets In the fence.

Of their roof tops to keep of the

Therrold, whenever they met by
chance in the village, picking a care
full way around Rose on the sidewalk.
Only that morning, lost in her own
thoughts, Rose had stepped incau-
tiously from the curb near the rail-
way tracks, to be stopped short by
the sudden horn of an automobile.
The car had halted in the cloud of
dust raised by its own brakes-a scant
two feet from the frightened girl.
She had raised startled eyes and
found her gaze held by the angry
stare of jeffrey Therrold, driving to-
ward the mill entrance.
For a moment gray eyes and black
had held in a long, hard grip. Then
the man had shifted gears, the ma

oddly weak in the knees; breathless,
as though she had been running for
long time. Wild tumult racing
through her blood shaking her In
the storm Of emotion this man could
always raise Her heart pounding
with hot hatred OF course, she
hated him! Hatred had leaped be-
tween them at the first meeting. A
venofIous, positive hatred.
She walked unseeing I'D Main
street, thinking about him. She had
been resentful and indignant of his
treatment of Harvey, at his insolent
letters to herself. But the first sight
OF jeffrey Therrold had awakened
some devastating emotion in her heart,
Since the night of his visit to her
little house she had resolutely put
him out of her mind.

concentrated fury. She had felt that

peace she must ignore what his visit
had portended.
And now it had gone-the serenity
OF the Summers day-shattered once
more by a brief meeting with jeffrey

she commented innocently, what the
Rev. Blackwell's going to do with
them military brushes. And him with
out two hairs to rub together on his
head!"
With the advent of Rose, Lottie's
leisure hours had assumed a definite
program. She had two pastimes,
which she varied with impartial reg
ularity.
One was to settle herself under an
old student lamp in the dark and
odorous little room behind the store, In
trance-like concentration on a pack
of greasy playing cards-from which
she was wont to emerge, scattering
dark prophecies as spaniel coming
out OF a creek scatters water.
The other diversion which engrossed
her waking hours was a tireless and
systematic creaming Of her really fine
skin, into which she rubbed samples
Of every brand of face cream on
which she could lay her hands.

sweaters and straw hats and scatter
such as they did not fancy like chaff
before the wind.
True to Lotties canny prediction,
there had also been a quite definite
trickle Of business from the village
itself.
Il declare, didn't aim to make no
holiday of the Romans out of you,
Miz' Therrold," she confded gleefully,
but it sure done my heart good this
morning to see that Miz' Blackwell

at you! Couldn't think what it was
she wanted to buy, she was so ratified.
So I unloaded that set of military
brushes onto her-you know, the Gel
luloid set in the box?" Complacently,

She had a trick too, of removing
her shoe on warm afternoons, padding
about in the gloom behind the dress
racks, calling to Rose in a sibilant
whisper to "See who that was out
front, would she please?"
1t had not been easy for Rose. 1t
was not easy now, when the first fort
night had been lived through. Her
volatile, high-Spirited nature, accus-
toned to the casual indifferences Of
metropolitan existence. had found it
daily more difficult to appear cool
and unconcerned under the necessity
for parrying the curious, often in
Solent, questions of her neighbors; to
ignore the sidelong, calculating
glances she so hated and resented.
