SIXTH IKSTAULMSHT "Well. l*m doing ll. I'm palntlgg a little, to pisa tlie time tbat irip," I like tkeir table with surprise. _ Macduff was chamed ’An gela's way of tossing 'off bei words. Here was a womhn'whd nrtgtat be worth her Ult. ' 'She chatted about the tUsig^ and gave him a lively picture'of ker own impressions th^' Tee, she was an artist.' 'H^-^uU tell that from her choice of words. When Macduft was writing, he bothered little with e^nnls, going in tor sombre, wiwoeo- phlcal stuff that some '1^ieop^ seemed to like. It shrprtsM him to see India through tbie'sipient eyes of an intelligent wbman. Soon he was talking htms^, and marveling at his own fluency. For half an hour his companion sat back, entranced and amused, while he unbent. She lit a cig arette and watched him from under the brim of her hat. It must be the cocktails. He was off like an orator. There was nothing to do but listen, now that the floodgates were open. But would he ever come to the end of his solllquoy? Was he talking sense or nonsense? An gela realized that the man was simply unused to voicing his thoughts, although verbose, no doubt, on paper. She had heard vaguely of his books, but had never read anything that he had written. After this, she would try to get hold of them and see what they were like. 666 Liquid-Tablets Salve-Nose Drops Check* COLDS and FEVER first dir HEADACHES in 30 irfMfes The other people in the room who knew them were watching "Ye gods!” said Johnny to Clare. "Watch Macduff talking to Mrs. Wynant.” "It’s a miracle. I’d like to know what he’s saying. It would be Mrs. Wyant who would get him to talk.” "Won’t you come with me to the river, Mr, Macduff?” Angela was saying, at the first break in their conversation. “I can’t keep away. It’s the most animated canvas I’ve ever seen In my life and I’m rather keen about masses of people.” "That’s just where you’re dif ferent from me,” said Macduff, weighing his decision on whether JAPAIVtEOn.

There’s nothing I dislike so much as hu man beings, and I find It depres sing to look at such thousands jiircking about together.’’ They went out to the veranda and he ordered liquors. Angela watched him, wondering if perfect frankness were not the cue in handling Macduff. She leaned towards him. “You’re rather a myth on the boat,’’ she laughed, “the man who must not be spok en to.” A deep roll of laughter shot surprisingly from his throat. “It’s not on the boat alone—it’s the way I live. I find that human contacts Interfere with one’s work and one’s life.” "Then I can’t understand why you travel around the world on a cruising boat. To escape peo ple on the Marenla is like trying to dodge bees in a hive.’’ • I came on a cruising boat be- I ca..se it takes me to out-of-the- ^ way parts I'd never have been I able to get to by any other means. Moreover, I've found all the isolation that I would get at Ijotne—at the least possible ex pense,” .Macduff finished, cannily. Angela sighed and swung her parasol. “Sometimes 1 think WAKE UP YOUR UVCRiHtE Wlihwl (jjtatl—AM Twl km* »f W ii • the Msmiiif Th. ll«r should voui Uqaid bil« into your boweb ..notflowingf It iuit decay* in th* bow**. ^ You wbol« I* poi»on®d *nd yoo i«ei Monr, •onk and th* world look* Pja*- .

"No. They’re scatterbrains reckless creatures. They’re also shockingly vain — spending, "But how stunning they look!’ “Like so many dolls in a win dow. The sam® eyes, the same lift to their chins, the same way of wearing their clothes, and the same ankles. “But I can’t imagine a race of women with better ankles!

They’re the only women who walk with hope*and assur ance.” "I don’t approve of them at all.” “Oh, dear! What a pity! If I were a man and lived in Ameri ca. I should admire them very much and fall in love with any number of them. They’re intel- igent. too. But I see it’s a hope- les argument.” Macduff had lost the thread of the conversation, and seemed to be stumbling towards an import ant conclusion of his own. He was standing, looking dow;i at her with an air of gloom. Angela gazed at him softly and he shifted his weight. The sun was in his eyes, the garden was fra grant with blooms, the Union How delightful of yon to wHh mo to'^tke rlwr^ MPi Ml*’ duff.” Angela’s voice waa gft^ with pleasure as she saw him falling Into et^. ;' Her companion grunted and pulled on his pipe.

The aqnatlc epote were about to begin in the swimming pool. Patty, brimful of energy, was diving repeatedly from the highest springboard. “She was born to live in a swimming suit,” Jenny said, ad miringly. “A genuine water-nymph!” Peter remarked, always appre ciative of the manifestations of physical perfection. Jenny saw that Clare and Pat ty were both in the race. It would be interesting to watch the two of them together, for they were evenly matched, in spite of the difference in their ages. Clare was a gifted swimmer, and her speed and form were equal to the best that girls half her age could do. No woman on the boat could compete with her except Patty. .loan Foster was good, but she slept all day and took most of her swims late at night. Clare -was in tangerine, a bril liant flash in the clear water of the tank. It suited her dusky sTtin. Patty was In a striking green suit.

He knew that she would root for him, but Clsre betwitched him. But this wss. Patty’S race. She must win! Johnny’s throat wds soapy, as it used to be when he tackled at football. Patty won, and, as she touched the end of the swimming pool, he bit his lips on a shout of Jubila tion. Angela felt his suppressed excitement and was suddenly sure of something that had puz zled her for weeks. But it was Clare he went over to speak to, Clare he helped out of the water. “Good stuff, Pat ty!’’ whispered Johnny as she passed him on her way to the dressing room. “You and I'll have a race pretty soon.” Patty laughed In her throat, tossed her cap and strode on. She felt robust and happy, as if a dark shadow that had been creeps ing up on her for weeks had taken to its heels. Clare was also In gay spirits, a step from Peter's side. She hud not cared whether she won or lost, stress did nothing but give one crow’s feet. "Well, that’s over.” she said. “Patty’s like the wind. I admire her form in the water.’’ "You were quite worth watch ing, too.’’ Peter’s voice was warm, and his glance passed over her aaali otitor aiaca toay'd cam*' bfi the their ctat la the io'aage at Bombay.

"It’s too late. The sun’s gone down.” Jenny was lost In her thoughts, watching the dying sun In a semi-trance. She would not go below while the sunset lasted. The others bad already gone; she had not noticed them leaving her. She went down to B deck and along the corridor. Her glance swept by chance towards an al leyway, and her hand went up to her mouth to stop the exclama tion that sprang to her Ups. (Continued Next Week) Kiaaton, Jsn.

Mr. Macduff, but wandering in my thoughts. To tell you the truth, they’re in England with my husband and my home.” "Tell me about your home.” ' I've never been able to con jure it up for anyone else, al though it’s so vivid in my own ! mind. U’s a rambling house with gables, frightfully ancient, with bits that have been added on from time to time.
