softer and more slippery than usual"
His tone changed suddenly. Denise,
pour Felicia some black coffee, and
brandy, if there is any on the tray"
Like an automaton, Denise poured
coffee, poured a liquer glass of cog
nae.
Keith moved quickly, took the glass
and cup from her, brought them to
Felicia. Felicia drank the coffee, set
the cup down, drank the brandy, set
the glass down, folded her hands and
looked at Keith.
"It leaves me rather on your hands,
doesn't it?"
His voice matched hers in matter
of-factness. 81 don't object"
Denise spoke furiously,, as Gilbert
had never heard her speak, except on
that night months past, when he had
prevented her sailing to those two.
"Stop it, Felicia. You too, Keith!
Stop pretending"
They looked at her then, and so did
her husband.
"Stop pretending that you are SC
modern you must be flippant ever
about death. Have the grace of tears
at least, though they're pretended too

l have loved you both. 1 have loved
you, Keith, so much that remem-
brances of laughter between US, and
dance music we shared and the feeling
of your arm about my waist, has seem
ed more to be cherished than my hus-
band, who's worth ten of you. I've
loved you, Felicia, enough to believe
that you were sure where I was un-
certain, wise where l was stupid, dar-
ing where was coward. Not any
more" She caught her breath.
Felicia said evenly: "You are being
a little hysterical. Aftereward you'll
feel rather silly. Don't you think that
you'd better go to your room or out
into the fresh air?"
But Denise rushed on as if she had
not heard her:
"a man who was named Eustace
Gardiner Dayne is dead. Eustacel
I was maid Of honor at your wedding
to him, though you thought I was
too young. Eustace said: Let the
child dress up, and march up the aisle
and stand in the receiving line. She'll
enjoy it so.'

He got Mr.. Windon on the tele-
phone by one o'clock which was nine
o'clock in the evening in England.
Always afterward Denise was to
remember that drawing-room, the
dresses of herself and Felicia, the
light on Felicia's hair her face utter
ly immobile, Gilbert's face grave
and a little puzzled, like the face of
one confronting an incredible and
stupid accident.
She remembered the order of the
things they did: That Felicia seated
herself first, on a low green sofa
by a coffee-table, and that she sat
very erect, her hands light against
the chair-arms, that the ruffled skirt
of her pale yellow organdy frock
spread like a fan.
That after a little hesitation and
glance at Gilbert, she, herself sat
down in a small chair facing Felicia
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-08-19

diagonally. That Gilbert strode uI
and down the room once. When she
looked up, she saw that Keith had
followed them, was standing in the
doorway, his SCARED handsome face
family ironic, as if there were some
thing entertaining in the fact that
they had forgotten him. Then the
butler came in with coffee.
Ever afterwards it was as if those
moments did not recede as other mo-
ments, but remained a small complete
interval frozen in time, between every
thing that had gone before in life and
everything that could happen after
A very short interval it was, between
the instant when Felicia sat down, and
the moment when the butler brought
in their coffee.
Gilbert spoke to Felicia.
"That telephone call was about Eus-
tace." He stopped.
She moved one of her long hands
slightly, forward and back, along the
chair arm. The fingers of that hano
frightened, loosened again. She said
in a shadow of her vivid voice:
"You want to tell me that Eustace
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-08-19

is dead"
Denise said, "No, no, mol" and was
silent, watching Gilbert's lips start
to frame words.
Eyes, Felicia"
"He killed himself" Felicia's voice
was shaking then.
"It is not at all certain. 1t is pos
sible. He and his horse plunged into
a canon from a high path on the
edge" He paused again.
But Felicia told him: go on. Tell
me all the rest"
Denise made some small sound OF
protest, leaned toward her sister, who
said, "Quite all right, thank you, De-
nise," in tone that stopped any ges-
ture of sympathy she might have
made. She said again but louder;
"Tell me the rest"
He told her. "The job he'd found
was about finished. His people never
communicated with him as far as any
one knows. The letter wrote him al
rived -afterward. He had taken that
path very often, and was familial
with it. On the other hand, there
had been a storm and the path was
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-08-19

From Felicia he had no word, nor
from his people. When grief for her
tore at him, and danger and despair,
he mounted and galloped cross-coun-
try, with the horse under him as wild
as himself. There was a curving
trail, halfway up a hillside, with a
vista of mountains and mountains pill
ed beyond, and below, sharp drop
to a canon always misty in the dawn
or in the gathering dark when he rode
there.
The slope upward was very easy.
Dark Lad whinnied with delight when
he raced up it? And sometimes Eus-
tace said to him: "Not bad, is it?
Travel it fast enough and you'll leave
behind all your possible regrets for
smooth green turf, and jockeys and
silks, and the crowds applauding."
AS when he rode fast enough he
could sometimes ride beyond men,
ory of her warm lips, her flaming
hair.
So one morning he rode in clear
dawn after brief desert storm, up
that path with the great mountains
beyond, and a mist in the canon be-
low him. Where the path curved, the
storm had loosened a foot or two of
bank, on the canon's edge. They
came fast, the tall blond man, the
great black horse, with the cool dawn
wind blowing against them stirring
the mists in the canon.
There was an instant when Dark
Lads hoofs clutched at moving earth.
An instant long enough, surely, for
man who had only loved one woman
in his life, to remember her face, per-
haps even to remember that some one,
far away had promised to take care
of her. Then man and horse went
over down through the mists.
The foreman found them, some
hours later. It was clear that they
had died instantly against the rocks

When he brought Eustace home, the
mail was arrived. There was let
ter, that said, Return to Gilbert Win
don," with a New York address. At
ter some hesitation, the foreman de-
cided to open it.
He read a great many Eastern
newspapers. He was quite familiar
with the story Of Eustace Dayne, his
wife Felicia, and man named Keith
Sheldie, though he had always been
too polite to tell Eustace that he
knew the story. And he even remem-
bered that Gilbert Windon was the
brother-in-law.
The letter offered Eustace work in
Vancouver and gave an address in
Sussex, England, (which of course,
you know, since Felicia's with u.s." as
the best place to write.
"I shall be here with Denise an
other month"
The foreman had never made
long-distance call in his life, much
less a transatlantic call. But he
knew there was a transatlantic tele-
phone. It seemed to him that Gil
bert Windon was the best person to
reach, to tell Mr.. Dayne's poor wife.
She would be grieved now for all her
folly.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1938-08-19
CHAPTER II

CHAPTER IL
It was my fault that Denise did not
meet you. I copied down the telegram
and told her that you were coming on
the Normarrie tomorrow"
Gilbert said, eyes, / quite under
stand" and no one else made any
comment.
Halfway through the dessertv Gil
bert was called to the telephone. "If
you'll excuse me, Denise. / didn't
suppose anyone knew I had arrived
yet"
When he went away, Felicia said
quickly, "Sorry, Denise" as if, strange
ly, she meant it."
"It doesn't matter"
Keith said nothing at all.
"Are you sure it doesn't matter?'
Felicia insisted.
Denise looked at her. Perfectly" !"
But she was not sure.
Gilbert was gone a rather long
time. When he came back, one glance
at his face told Denise he had dread
full news for them.
"Will you come into the drawing
room with me, Felicia? And per-
haps, Denise-you'd better"
The hot dry air of the desert was
like flame against Eustace's cheeks,
his first day back in New Mexico. His
foreman was surprisingly pleased to
see him, and the horse Dark Lad nuz-
zled his shoulder.
When the blazing sunset died., when
the silver dawn came up, he took
Dark Lad riding every evening, every
early morning. A small flock of days
went by, one like another.
His foreman came riding in one af-
ternoon, with the mail and some Eas-
tern newspapers. "You know, our
boss is a racketeer, like me and the
boys thought. Look!"
The newspaper account was that
the owner of the ranch had been ar
rested on his return from Europe,
and was to be tried for non-payment
of income tax. There followed an ac-
count of his various interests" When
Eustace saw a line about "an organi-
zation of bookmakers which he is
supposed to control" he knew where
those fine horses came from. Some
poor devil that he'd fleeced of his
last cent had to give him his string
of horses too. Probably it had been
one of his concepts of grandeur to
send race horses West for his friends
to ride when he should have time to
entertain on his new ranch.
The foreman said, shrewdly: "Sup-
pose when the boss gets through pay
ing his lawyers, he'll have lost this
place, and We'll be looking for jobs. y
Suppose so," said Eustace. Well,
he would manage to keep Dark Lad
somehow.
He was growing little careless
about the places he took that horse,
who had been bred for racing. Ac-
tually, he was philosophical about
it. AS he himself seemed to have
come to a dead end in place remote
from all of his life as he'd planned it,
so had Dark Lad. They would have
to make the attempt together.

Wife Slayer Escapes
Electric Chair

James Elmo Tolley, 19-year-old
youth who shot and killed his
divorced wife, Ruth, II, on Janu-

prisonment by Judge Aubrey
STROBE here yesterday.
Recommendation for the life
sentence instead of the electric
chair, as sought by the State, was
made by the corporation court
jury, which was apparently i'm
pressed by the love Tolley still
professed to bear for his wife.
Mrs. Tolley was killed instantly
as she sought to escape her hus-
band, who had concealed himself
for hours in a vacant house. He
shot her as she was walking by
the house with a friend, and then
shot himself three times through
the chest. A note stating he in
tended to kill the girl and himself
was found by his mother.

Chicago River Bill

doubt the committee will report
out the Parsons Water Diversion
bill this session. The measure, Bit
terly fought by five Great Lakes
States. would perpetuate diversion

preme Court has ordered cut to

q d m n SGra- Paul MalloD
tion is following different tactics
this time. Senator ByrneS,
handler of the legislation, has
been compromising consistently
to get votes for the bill by
notifications to meet objections
by certain groups of opponents.
He has whitfield it down to the
point where it represents about
half of what Mr.. Roosevelt de-
manded last year, but he has
made enough votes in this trad.
ing to break into the old court
majority of opposition. His con-
fidence in his ability to save
Mr.. Roosevelt from another
serious senatorial defeat seems
to be justified now at the be-
ginning of the fight.
THE basis for what may or
l. may not develop into a his.
toric struggle has not been COM
promised out of the bill yet. 1t
is the provision allowing Mr.. r.
to consolidate or abolish Govern
ment departments at will. The
opposition will contend this gives
the President quasi dictatorial
powers to nullify Congress. For
example, if he desired to abolish
any particular Government &C
tivity, he could simply abolish
the bureau handling it.
This objection has been partly
compromised by a restriction in
the bill permitting his order to
stand only if Congress fails to
repudiate it within so days.
An amendment has been Of
fered by the opposition to nulli-
fy such q presidential move run-
less Congress ratifies it, thus
putting the burden on the other
foot.
The way the bill stands now
the President would have far
more power than under the
item veto" proposal which the
Senate recently turned down.
DEST chance of the opposi-
ID tionists is to kill the presi.
Dental proposal for abolition OF
the Civil Service Commission,
putting that work up to single
administrator. The opposition
has deep suspicious that this
would nullify whatever force
Civil Service still has in Govern
ment. If the Administration has
a convincing argument for the
change, it has not yet been ad-
vanced, Arguments it has used
SO far are based on objections
to commissions and claim that
Civil. Service is primarily an
administrative duty.
