For some moments Jarvis did not
reply to her question. Then. his
mouth grimIy set, he pronounced
his ultimatum. "You will conduct
yourself from now on like a lady
or back you go to where you came
from! I'll not have the Dean name
made the cause of drunken brawls
in public dives!"
Autumn got angrily to her feet. In
that moment, all the wretchedness
of those long summer weeks came
back upon her, those weeks of striv-
ing to tear the love of Bruce Landor
from her heart, and instantly her
regret for the pain she was causing
her father retreated.
She confronted him now with
wide, blazing eyes. THE Dean

hind all thisl It isn't what will hap
pen to me that you are thinking
about. You know / can look after
myself. I'VE done 1t for years with
out giving you anything to worry
about. But the Dean name must be
defended 1t hurts your pride to see
it defended by Bruce Landor. You
have been living in the past so long
that it's more real to you and more
important to you than your own
daughter. Well, let me tell you, Da
II don't give a damn for name
that needs defending. I've suffered
what you will never know-ever
since came back-defending the
Dean name. I can't go on-I won't

The Laird was on his feet instant
ly, his huge frame trembling with
| emotion. "Stop it," he cried. "Stop
It'll You've gone far enough. You've
gone-far-enoughl
Autumn stood for an instant star
ing at him. He seemed to have
gone suddenly feeble, defeated. He
turned away from her and stretched
his hand out to support himself by
| the mantelpiece. His body appeared
to crumple forward, to sag and
dwindle as though shrinking from q
| blow. In that moment Autumn s
compassion for him rose again, and
her impulse was to 60 to him ano

| But Hector was already beside him
and was waving her away. She
turned silently and left the room.

The Laird had asked old Hector
Cardigan to dinner. 1t was rarely
these days that Hector was invited
to dine alone with Jarvis Dean. In
the old days he had frequently been
a guest at the Castle, but that, as
Hector knew, had been Millicents s
doing. There had never been any
thing but the most cordial relation
ship between the two men, however,
but Jarvis had lived too much to
himself during the years since his
wife's death.
It was not until hey had left the
table, however, anu had retired to
the drawing room that his host gave
any inkling of what was on his mind.
The Laird had paused in the hallway
and asked whether they would 60
to the library or sit in the drawing
room. Hector had not hesitated in
making the choice. The library was
the one spot in the house that be-
longed peculiarly to Jarvis Dean.
The drawing room, on the other
hand, had been Millicent's and held
still some lingering aroma of her
presence there. Besides, Hector's
hand had done its best in making
the room what it was.
''Of course" Jarvis said, when
Hector had expressed his prefer
ence. 81 might have known. Go in
and sit down. I'll fetch the brandy"
And now the two men sat on op-
posite sides of the empty fireplace,
their old-fashioned brandy glasses in
their hands, pledging each others
health in stately and ancient fash
ion. The Laird trimmed and lighted
a cigar, turning it round and round
in his fingers as he contemplated it
pensively. Hector drew a cigarette
from his own case and lighting it,
extinguished the match and placed
it carefully on the tray beside him.
''It isn't often," the Laird began,
''that | ask man to help me con-
slider my private affairs
.'It isn't often you have required
the advice of another" Hector en-
couraged.
Jarvis blew a thick cloud of smoke
from his lips and sighed heavily.
That's a polite remark, SIR" he
said as if he were talking to him.
self. ''but it's prodigious lie. just
the same"
Hector knew his host. To be
called liar by Jarvis Dean was no
offense, unless the mood itself
were an offensive one.
'.I know of no law against man
being polite to his host Hector
countered.
''There ought to be, then" said
the Laird. "A man would be bet.
