could ride like an artist. Letting the

in the first quarter, there was always
racing room ahead of him, even when
he was four behind. The nuances of
his technique we're beyond Arizona's
understanding. but she could see that
the man knew the horse under him
with unerring instinct. Each slight
change of place seemed premeditated,
done with infinite understanding.

Mrs. Eustls said. Il bid two hearts,"
Helen looked across at her mother
in-law, sitting upright on stiff chair.
Mrs. EustlS was old-fashioned. for
bidding and often disappearing. but
she was fundamentally honest. Helen
felt grateful to her not knowing why.
The evening passed quietly; at ten
thirty the Binghams left and Helen
said good night to her mother law
and went upstairs.
Betsy was asleep with her head
down, her small, sunburned body fiat
against the bed. Helen kissed her
quietly and went out. She'd never
get into trouble over Betsy. 1t was
only Roland who troubled her. Often,
even when he was a small boy in a
sailor suit she had looked at him and
wondered how this child whom she
had borne could be such a stranger.
She went to bed and thought about
the garden, the new chintz for the
living room, Betsy's fall clothes. Any
thing but the decision that she would
have to face in the next few days
before Bats left for Ireland.
Helen stayed awake long time.
When sleep finally came it was light
and dream-riddled. After few hours
she woke. She smiled to herself and
realized that she had been dreaming
about Bats. They had been running
down long hill with the wind against
them. 1t was fun, the way simple
things could be with Bats.
She was about to roll over when
there was slight sound at the door.
She looked around. still relaxed and
happy. There was the faint yellow
line of the hall light under the door
sill. The door swung quietly inward.
Helen's heart beat so that it hurt.
Her throat stiffened and she felt the
blood pound in her ears. The figure
moved and she could see that it was
familiar. The light on the hair, the
shape of the forehead, even the two
little lines between the eyes. "Roly."
she said, and again, "Roly"
The figure came closer. II saw that
fellow" a voice said. Il went to the
Inn and saw him tonight" The voice
was high. young and uncertain.
''Rolandv' Helen's voice sounded
sharp in her own ears. "Rolandr'
The boy came further into the dark
ness of the room and Helen switched on
the light. II saw that man, Mother"
Helen sat up and stared at Roland.
What part was he acting now?
''Roland," she said. "What have you
done? What do you mean coming into
my room like, like ghost?"
whats this about ghosts?"
Helen turned to see Mrs. Eustis
come stiffly into the room. The old
lady, unfamiliar in her long night
gown. her old-fashioned wrapper. was
as distant and unbending as ever.
Its Roland" Helen said. Il don't
know yet what has happened -"
That's what l came to tell you."
the boy said. Il decided things had
gone far enough. went down to the
Inn and told Harrigan to leave town."
''Roland. You didn't How dare -"
The boy looked at her and suddenly
his face changed and his voice was
broken and childish. But, Mother"
