looked down at his own trim figure; the
figure of man of forty-three who has
scrupulously kept himself physically fit. He
said, without looking at her. 80 you're going

But it wouldn't have been nearly so pic

thin face flushed, and his arctic eyes mar
rowed. We'll, 60 on! Get out! Be fool if you
insist I'll never stop you.'
She saw the bitter anger behind his eyes,
caught the dangerous tone which she had
learned to fear, glimpsed the mixture of hatred
and of cruel passion which had been her
emotional fare for two years. She saw that and
knew that she could not remain. and did not
wish to. She heard him saying, You'll find
the walk to Duck Island quite difficult"
She picked up the overnight bag she had
brought from upstairs. She looked younger
than her twenty-one years; with a firm,
slender figure, tiny features, big black eyes
and sensitive lips. She said, 'Goodby. Bruce.
I'm sorry it had to end this way"
He looked at her without expression. and
with no show of regret. He watched her as
she crossed the reception hall. She opened the

as the gale struck it full. Rain drove fercely
pedestal and smashed. Then the sky blazed
for moment, and in the vivid glare of light
ming she caught brief, frightening glimpse of
tossing, roaring ocean, of reed grass whipped
by the summer storm. And then there was
blackness She closed the door behind her. and
wondered whether she had heard or if she had
imagined his last words, Pleasant trip, my
dear -.
The darkness was almost as tangible as
the rain which beat against her and the wind
which ripped in from the ocean, 1t was the
blackness of black velvet. blackness which
was emphasized by the jagged lightning
which split it every few minutes.
Judith walked down the curving driveway
to the great stone gateway and thence to the
shell road which circled Palmetto Island, Civ
ing access to the dozen estates of wealthy
Northerners The good citizens of Seaville,
twenty two miles away on the mainland, were
fond of referring to the colony on Palmetto as
millionaire club.

a low. marsh -fringed sea island studded with
magnificent homes and peopled with men and
women who drove big, fast cars; who we're
fond of hunting, riding and fishing and
tennis and polo and golf. Palmetto Island
had its own championship tennis courts. its
own eighteen-hole golf links. its own yacht
basin, its own polo field. 1t was near the
mainland, but not of it. Only Judith, who
had been born and raised in Seaville, and
who had married Bruce Ramsay, was of that
colony.
She tried to think as she trudged through
the Storm tried to bring back the feelings of
her girlhood, when she had been Judith Mason
and when she had looked with awe and envy
on the hard-riding men and vivid women of
Palmetto Island. Thinking made her forget,
however briefly. the uncertain footing, the
water which soaked through her thin shoes; it
helped her to combat occasional terror as
bit of gray Spanish moss whipped loose by the
gale from the branches of a venerable oak.

j Ramsay stood by it, tall and slender
and angry, holding the receiver to her ear. She
spun the handle on the phone box sharply and
tried to shut out the sharp, sardonic voice of
her husband. He was saying Three longs
and short, Judith. Try him again.
She turned her back on the voice, and
pressed the receiver more tightly against her
ear. The huge white house trembled with the
fury of a summer gale which whipped in from
the Atlantic and shrieked through pine and
palmetto. She heard the angry booming of
the surf and the inoessant knitting of rain
against the long French windows She Won
dered whether the wires into Seaville were
down, and then. family, above whine of wind
and beat of rain, she heard mans voice
saying Hello"
Her own expression lost some of its tense
ness She asked, rs that you, Alan?" and
heard the faint answer - This is Alan
Keith. Talk louder please"
She hated the necessity for screaming into
the transmitter and resented the antiquated
telephone system which connected these
southern sea islands with the mainland. She
said, very loudly, This is Judith. Can you
hear me now"
Even with the poor connection, she could
detect the note of surprise in the voice of the
Young man at the other end. why yes,
Judith, can hear But even more dis
tinct was the biting voice Of her husband:
Every romantic, my dear. And quite interest
ing"
The girl at the telephone tried to con-
centrate on the young man at the other end
of the ancient telephone. She said, Listen,
Alan - carefully. I'm leaving"
Leaving what, Judith? don't under

I'm leaving Bruce"
What wrong?"
Il Just can't take it any more. I'm leaving
tonight"

in Alan Keiths voice. That's no way to talk.
Tell me what's wrong"
Il can't over the phone. Other folks are
probably listening in"
That's practically certainty. But
Judith -"
Its no use, Alan. I've tried for two years,
but tonight I've quit trying"
But you don't have to leave tonight -
in this storm. That doesn't make sense"
'None of it does But I'm leaving tonight,
Just the same"
"Aw, be yourself, honey. You can't do it."
Il can't do anything else"
well, suppose you've thought it all out.
Are you driving in to Seaville?"
That's why called you. I'm all packed
and intended driving, but Bruce has locked
the garage. can't get my car out.
Want me to fetch you?"
I'm walking as far as the hunting lodge
on Duck Island. Can you meet me there?"
"Of course But why not let me come all
the way and talk things over with Ramsay"
Better not, Alan"
Things pretty bad?'
Worse than that"
"And your mind is made up?"

"How will you get in? The place is de-

She put the receiver back on the hook and
turned away from the wall. She saw her hus-
bands long thin legs stretched out in front
of the wing chair; her eyes followed upward
and came to rest on his sharp-featWed face.

would slap against her face and cling for a
moment. damply.
This wasn't at all as Palmetto Island
appeared in the daytime. Only yesterday, for
instance, it had been beautiful despite the
scorching August heat She remembered the
vista of shell road lined with oak and cypress;
the broad, hard beach of white sand; the
alluring surf; the long lines of sentinel pines,
and the white colonial homes, so simple out
side and so lavish within. She remembered
the island too, in April when it was riot OF
color. when carefully tended gardens were gay
with wisteria, azaleas. yellow jasmine, spring
roses, violets, columbine and wood sorrel
And in the hunting season when the members
of the colony left their New York homes and
came down for hunting and fishing, tennis and
golf That was the period which was known as
the season" and for which the colony was
maintained. During those months the homes
on Palmetto Island blazed with light and
gayety. There were house parties and bril-
liant dances and sports tournaments.
Duck Island, almost thirty thousand acres,
lay between Palmetto Island and the MAIN
land 1t was owned in common by those who
owned homes on Palmetto. 1t was source
of neverending amazement and amusement
to the citizemy of the coast country. for it
was stocked with game and forbidden to
ordinary mortals.
Near the middle of the island, just off
the road leading from Seaville to Palmetto,
was the Lodge, staunchly constructed OF
cypress logs - and at the Lodge all through
