Reed paid fines of $25 and costs for
failure to stop after a collision with
animals and $40 and costs for reckless
driving. His guilty pleas halted a
trial which had drawn a large num-
Der of expectant spectators from the
upper county.
According to reports herd of cat
tie owned by William S. Smith of the
Church Hill vicinity was being driven
down the Church Hill-Ingleside road
by three farmhands. The men saw the
truck approaching, hailed it, and tried
to stop it. Instead the truck plowed
right through the herd killing one cow
outright, injuring another so that It
had to be destroyed and bruising q
third which will recover.
The truck kept going after the col
lision. The farmhands secured car
and gave chase but failed to overhaul
the truck. Reeds brother, owner Of
the truck was first arrested as the
supposed driver.

She stretched her thin young arms
out to the sky, the sea, the blue
downs. "Good-by, Eustace, whom
liked very much! Good-by, Keith and
Felicia, whom I loved, and all the
yesterdays happy and unhappy when
knew you" A gesture, speech, ex-
travagant, young, tender, little visit
full.
Gilbert waited, breathless. She
walked on ahead, then turned and
smiled at him over her shoulder.
"Denise," Gilbert said after a mo-
ment, "you said once that you wanted
to know what you wanted"
Eyes, Gilbert"
"Do you know?"
eyes, Gilbert" She was laughing
"Tell me-"
She still walked little ahead of
him. Her laughter rippled back soft
ly. "It will take long time to tell
YOU"
But she stopped then, and looked
up at him, her eyes grave. He look
ed at her without touching her, "Do
we have long time, Denise?"
She repeated his words-"A long
time. All the years. To be busy
even to be little useful if possible
and always to love each other"
She held up face altogether Sc,
rene for his kiss.
In the instant his arms frightened
round her shoulder, she remembered
far away, some one younger who hac
said, after a minute that might have
been like this and never was: "Enc

That minute that never was wen

any more than Gilbert did, why thu

"This is the beginning, really, O.

I don't know exactly why"
Because Felicia and Keith were l1v'

and was seldom reminded OF them
So she did not remember Felicia say
ing: "Why does anyone want house

She Just thought: II want house
A house is much more fun for chill

On the morning of her wedding an

married a year now-the trial year
YOU wanted. And I suppose we do
marry in relative haste, so you've mao
your leisure to repent. Tell me, nave
you repented?"
Why on earth was Gilbert waxing
her to talk about repentance!
Sleepily she replied: dearest, dear
est-many happy returns; only that's
for birthdays, isn't it,"
Then she walked fully, understood
what he had said, and laughed and

CHAPTER 10

When Felicia AMI Keith went out
of that drawing it seemed TO
Gilbert that several things had to be
done about them, but he extremely
resented the necessity. There STOOD
Denise, and there was arrived mo-
ment for which he had waited months
that seemed, in retrospect, endless.
And yet-one glance at her white race
warned him that if he snatched at the
moment, he could lose it still.
He said gently, GO upstairs, De-
mise. I'll come up later to see YOU
And he went in with the practical de-
tails of sending a maid to help Felicia
mack, and a man to Keith, of ordering
the roadster to be filled with gasoline
Keith came downstairs first. Gil
bert offered him a highball and Gig
arettes, asked him if he would like
to have a check cashed. Keith said
no to the check, yes to the hlgbali ana
cigarette. He and Gilbert seemed
about equally eager to avoid any sig
nificant conversation-until they both
saw Felicia dressed for travelling, at
the top of the staircase. Then Keith
said quickly: "I'm taking her to Dor
chester House. My fathers there
You can reach us through him in case
her parents
Gilbert said: Thanks" He was
glad to know. He'd forgotten that he
yet had to give them summary OF
this evening. That wouldn't be pleas
ant.
Brightly, Felicia said, "Well, Gil
bertl Nice to have seen you," in the
precise tones of some one leaving a
house where she's had tea. She held
out her hand.
He had never felt more inadequate
in his life. Acutely he disliked her;
and yet, except for her, Denise prob
ably would not be waiting for him
now.
He managed: LET me know if
there's anything we can 90 FELICIA
She said "Thank you" with no
meaning in the words. And he went
out to the car with them. When they
were gone, he stood staring after
them. Out of his life at last, the wo-
man whom he so completely distrust-
ed, and the man to whom Denise had
given first love-that emotion so
fragile, lovely and perhaps altogether
inconsequential when it has ended.
He heard car wheels moving up
the drive. His parent-in-law! He
must be careful in telling them.
He took long time about it. His
own presence, supposedly a day early
had to be explained first. He told

little forever, was all that remained
of the Denise who had loved Keith
Sheldie; that the girl upstairs was al
ready another person.
She came running down the corridor
to him, in a gray tweed skirt and
white pull-over, hatless.
Gilbert smiled at her az he remark
ed:
Sometimes, Denise, you look about
thirteen years oldl It's startling
when one is expecting an adult to ap-
pear"
"Don't worry. It's an illusion. I'm
old for my age, really. Let's go tlno
Mother and Father and tell them
we'll be gone all day."
She was careful not turning her
ewes to the portrait; and when she
observed Gilbert glancing at it, she
flushed little.
cts a nice thing, Denise"
Eyes, better painting than anything
l ever saw of his. But I don't want
it, now"
Better keep it. You needn't hang
it until"
until what Gilbert?"
Until some day you only think
of it as a good painting"
She did not answer. They wen'
out into the garden to talk to hel
father and mother, who looked so old
so brittle and so worried sitting
there in the bright sunlight, that his
heart went out to them. He coulo
tell that their look troubled Denise
too. She took great pains to be gay
with them, to make her manner re-
assuring, and succeeded sufficiently
SO that they were smiling when she
left.
They walked long way, speaking
to each other of some bit of scenery
of the sheep-dogs watching thei1
flocks, of nothing beyond the mo
ment, the sunlight upon them, the salt
air against their cheeks. They lunchee
in fold in the downs, by a dew
pond, a mood upon them such a:
they'd known before.
When they came near home, tn
shadows we're long across the downs
and that steady fresh breeze was ris
ing, when her footsteps Jagged. HI
asked: "Tired, Denise?"
"Not really. I could walk on for
ever in this breeze blowing. It blows
away so many things. Old foolisl
intensities and bitterness"
"What does it leave?"
"The feeling of being glad to b
alive. Poor Eustace!"

ed life much without Felicia" An

them the truth about that, and then
went on to the reset, finally keeping
back nothing that he knew Of Eus-
tace's death, because their quiet, grlev
ed faces demanded honesty at least.
Afterward he realized that in the
telling he had let them know more
about his marriage than they had ever
known. though he had not mentioned
Denise and Keith in the garden at the
moment of his arrival home. When
he had finished, he saw nothing but
liking for himself, and trust, in their
faces; and by his gratitude, knew how
lonely he had been this long time.
"IIl go to Denise" her mother said.
Gilbert was surprised at his relief
No, he did not want to see his wlte
now. He had waited so long, he could
wait a little while still, if she would
only tell him, when the waiting was
done, that she wanted to live her lie
with him.
He slept that night the drowned
sleep of exhaustion, and woke late'
to a bright morning. When he was
dressed, he knocked on Denise's door.
She was having breakfast in bed,
her bright hair tumbled, her eyes
sleepy, as he had seen her many times.
She thought of that too. She said:
"This is like Russia, Gilbert. Where
shall we go sightseeing today?"
"On the downs, to walk ten miles. .
"And take what the cook calls dis
approvingly, AN Amurrican picnic
lunch I'll be dressed in ten minutes,
Gilbert"
He went downstairs. From hei
voice he had been able to tell nothing
It was amiable as usual. That was
all. Suppose, suppose after all, now
that she was free of Keith and Felicia
she might want to be free from him
too, and discover what she desired,
by herself. His heart stopped beat.
Then he told himself steadily: "This
time, sha'n't try to hold her if she
wants to go. Because she's tried"
He walked restlessly about through
the ground-floor rooms while he wait
ed for her.
In the smallest reception-room he
found a portrait of her in black
lace dress. A lovely thing! And
scrawled in the corner, "Keith Sheldie.
Jr." So he had painted her, and put
into the painting all his love!
Picture of a young woman just
lowered into beauty, her mouth, her
eyes smiling little, as Denise smiled
when she was vaguely happy and un-
troubled. 1t was her very self!
The strangest thought came to he1
husband: that there on canvas smiling
