taailni both ot them tc pieces.
“Believe that you cant tell?
Oh. yes, you dont leave me in

“Barry!” Anne quivered and
auttened. "I’ve told you all that
X aaa tell.” She turned on him
ha passionate appeal. Dont you
tnat me enough—dont yon love
Ma fmough to believe me when I
. hsB yon that no matter what ap-
paannees may be, there was
aaCUny, nothing wrong in my
calaa to meet Jim Kennedy?”
She knew the second it came
aat that the familiar "Jim Ken-
aady* bad been a mistake. Bar-
*y looked shaken, a man almost
pasaaaded, but at the last words
hot snspicion flamed again.
*Tknst yon! I did trust you. I

I am not going to have any open : ly eyes,

ing with her. He Jerked the
door open and went out, with
out a backward glance.
After the door had closed Anne
still stood there stek at heart.
Barry expected her to stay, but
Jim Kennedy had said that she
must go. Just for a little, lying
back with closed eyes, sh© won
dered what would happen if she
defied Jim’s orders—if she stay
ed, and let John Gage meet her
here. Upheaval and ruin, and a
slimy hail of disgrace. She
lat.ghed with a rising note of hys-
ter’a, -choked it back and ab
ruptly pulled herself out of the
chair.
She moved quietly around the
room, opening drawers and clos
ets, choosing articles here and
there and dropping them on the
bed. Indecision was gone.
There was a tap on the door.
It waa, Bertha, with a message.
"Mr. Barry sent me up to pack
for you. He says hj’s called back
to Marston, and can you be ready
to leave tomorrow morning on
th© seven-forty-three? He’s Just
phoned lor reservations.”
A filmy garment dropped from
Anne’s fingers. “The seven-
fbrty-three,” she repeated blank
ly. Then sbe remembered the
waiting Bertha. “Yes, Bertha,
of course 1 can be ready. Here
are some of my things. I’ve just
been gathering them together.”

Cleo’s blu© roadster swept
recklessly up the drive. A watch
ful footman sped down the
steps.
“Send Kennedy to me,’’ she
ordered.—
The footman was a new man,
but he seemed to be well train
ed.
Cleo waited impatiently in the
library. Here Kennedy came, an
infuriating eight minutes late.
“Wdll, you’ve bungled your
work nicely, haven’t you?’’
“Think so?” He was defiant
in an instant.
“I do! You undertook to see

Cleo could have killed hlm.-
“Very well. I will have It for

The door closed on Kennedy.
In the hall the new footman
appeared from a cross corridor
and obligingly let Kennedy out.
They exchanged a word or two,
and the door closed. Kennedy
paused for a second on the steps.
“There’s something phoney
about that bird,’’ he reflected.
"He was out of breath. I’ll drift,
as soon as I get the fiv© grand.”
H© got it the next day. Inside
of an hour he bad sent in his no
tice, received his wages and waa
on his way to the station.
A few days later Kennedy’s
eye picked up an Item in the pa
per.
"Mr. and Mrs. Gage will leave
next Friday on a trip to the Paci
fic coast.”
Kennedy’s eyes narowed. Gage
had business interests out there.
It was not likely to be more than
Just coincidence. “I don’t see
how ther© could be anything in
it,” he reflected, “but it wouldn’t
hurt to be on hand.”
Cleo saw the same item. She
sat up suddenly. Nancy and
Barry had gone w'est. The Gages
were going west, ostensibly to the
coast, but Marston was on the
way. Jim Kennedy, if h© kept
his word, was going west also-
“I don’t suppose there can be
anything in it,” she thought.
‘But Barry knows the Gages, and
he had been trying for years to
get John Gage interested in that
old valley. It’s queer. I wish I
had a decent excu.se to follow
them.”

"Oh, nothing. I’m not golnr to

toward the door, pansing to look
back-i '‘I’m going—back to

“You can’t go now,” he said
sharply. "The Gages are coming.
They win be here next Tuesday.”
Sbe stared at him in a shocked
sort of way, and said, “Oh!”
half under her breath.'"I’m sor
ry,” she added hurriedly. “But
you see, I shall not bo here.” •
‘ In spite ot all that had passed
he could scarcely credit his ears.
"I suppose,” he said in a tight
voice, "that you understand what
this visit means to me? Whatever
our personal differences may be,
they expect a hostess.”
"I'm sorry, Barry. Truly I
am.” Her eyes were desperatp.
“But I can’t stay. I—”
“Don't trouble to apologise.
I’m not a Jailer, to keep you here
against your will. But if you
leave me now. I’m through. Don’t
ever try to com© back again.”
She put her hand to her throat.
"I understand. I shan’t come
back, Barry. Good-bye.”
"Good-bye,” he said curtly. He
was cruel with anger and savage
ly hurt.
He heard a door clos© softly,
and light footsteps that died. Si
lence after that. Empty silence.
moments
Anne was discovering that not
even the beloved Perch could
banish a tormenting devil of
jealousy and suspicion. Things
grew worse instead of better. As
a slow week dragged by, each day
held less hope for reconciliation.
Ling’s bland face never be
trayed anything. Anne was glad
that Martha Larrabee had gone
back to Marston.
Martha had closed the little
house at Trail’s End only a week
‘IJefore their return. It was
quiet and peaceful, but It was
lonely. Sometimes she wished
bitterly that she had never seen
Barry Duane.
She rod© Comet often, but al
ways alone. She saw Barry in
the distance one day, sitting Cap
tain at a Jutting point in the
trail. Comet whickered a shrill
greeting and Captain replied, but
Barry merely turned his head,
raised his hat and turned back.
Anne’s face stung with angry
heat. She’d rather be ordered
out of the house than treated
like u child in disgrace.
She went back to her own
lolieliness, and presently Barry
came in, saying little. She was
dropping her small efforts at
cheerfulness now. She must
have it out with him and end
iliis, one way or another.
‘’.\re you busy, Barry?”
“No.” He put down the book
he was reading.
“Don’t you think it is time we
came to a definite understanding,
Barry? You know we can’t go on
this way.’’
“I agree with you entirely. I
ajn ready, and have been, when
ever yon want to do your part.”
Her eyes closed for a moment.
But I have told you that there
are things that I cannot explain,
without—without involving oth
er people. I’ve promised—you
shouldn’t ask me to break that.”
“Most escapades do involve
other people,” he retorted.
“I’ve done rash things, I
know, but nothing that I am
ashamed of. Won’t you believe
that? You’ve got to, Barry. All
the rest of our lives depends on
it—just having some — some
faith between us. If you can’t
have that, I’m going. I won’t
stay in your hous© like this.”
He was on his feet now, tramp
ing impatiently up and down.
“How can you expect me to
accept a situation like that blind
ly?”
He stopped in front of her and
caught her arm in a close grip.
“Don’t you know that I’d give
up everything I have on earth to
hear you say something which
would set this hideous thing
right? To have you back as you
used to be—and to be able to
take my wife back among my
friends without—’’
If he only hadn’t said that,
about his friends! Anne shivered.
“I have told you all I can.’’
She swayed a little, stiffened
and stared at him bitterly.
“As for your friends, they
needn’t matter so much now.
.Marston is a long way from
Granlelgh. Tell them I'm dead,
Many miles to the east a num
ber of small things had happen
ed.
The new footman had left aft
er less than a week of service, a
circumstance which vaguely dl-
turbed the colorless Mrs. Pendle
ton. Cleo looked contentedly at
her own image in a long mirror
and decided to contrive a^call on
Mrs. John Gage.
At the Gage offices Winston
called to make a personal report
and found that Gage had been
called away. A secretary admit
ted that Mr. Gage was due to
start shorly on a trip west. Win
ston kept his verbal dynamite
stored in his ow'n cautious head.
In his comfortable hotel Ken
nedy was studying plump time
tables and discovering possibili
ties. He also discovered that at
odd moments he was seeing the
same face with suspicious fre
quency. Being resourceful he con
sidered the situation and took re
servations for New Orleans,
where he had no Intention of go
ing. Then by car and plane and
modest day coach he shook off
his exasperated shadow and zig
zagged his way to Marston.
■The Junction’s best hostelry
was the railroad hotel. Kennedy
registered as Frederick James,
acquired a slight but convincing
cough to account for his aimless
presence, and a battered old car.
He might have been interested
if he had known of Gage’s ab
sence from town. This time
Paula had been left behind in
their huge hotel apartment.
Nevertheless she pouted at the
thought of having to go to some
doleful ranch in a rough moun
tain valley. She had Just receiv
ed a telegram from John, too,
saying that he would have to
join her at Chicago, but had
made all arrangements for her
by wire.
Paula was feeling just a little
sorry tor herself. Miss Cleo
Pendleton could not hav© chosen
a better moment to ask for Mrs.
John Gage, ~
A few days later, when Gage
boarded his own car in Chicago,
his first glimpse was of a head
of snug, shining gold, very much
at home in one of his chairs. In
the privacy of a stateroom he
jerked an expressive thumb and
said, “How come?”
“You don’t mind, John, do
yoi. ? She is a friend of this
•Mrs. Duane’s and she told me
that Mrs. Duane had been asking
her to come out and visit them.
I thought it would be nice to
have somebody along, and she’s
frightfully amusing.’’
“Oh, yes . . . yes, honey. It’s
all right. Old Ambrose’s girl, is
she? How did she know we were
headed for Duane’s place?
“Why, I don’t know. She Just
seemed to know it. You’re not
angry, are you? I did want
somebody with me, and I had t6
start all alone.”
“There, there!” He smoothed
a roseleaf cheek and kissed her.
