where they are stopping, with Drew's
sister, Nancy, i« a bookshop owned
by Giles Armiger, below which is a
shoemaker's shop run by Stephen
Scrip ps. They had become fast
friends in France. As o result of. his
tear experience, Scripps was obliged
to turn from law to a trade and his
friend. Giles, remained close by
Taking her slippers to be mended in
Scripps' shop, Joan recognizes Giles
as a man she sau; in a boat near
Gloucester and they become inter
ested in each other. Later Giles

Joan from him somehow. Meanwhile
Drew is paying considerable atten

heart, who stopping at the same
hotel. Dilly, Giles' cousin, and wife
of the lighthouse keeper at Granite
head, begins to notice Giles’ interest
in Joan. Giles brings Joan to show
her the lighthouse.

CHAPTER 15
THERE HAD been another day
when Joan had come, and there had
jbeen trouble in her face. She had
■at very still in a corner where she
nraa screened from customers by a
•bookcase, and had let Giles talk to
Iber. And it seemed to him that half
lot the time she did not listen.
At last he had said, “Tell me."
“Tell you what?”
“The thing that la on your mind."
“How do you know there is some
thing on my mind?”
“You have lost your—radiance."
Her voice was very low—“ Perhaps
I shouldn't speak of it. But you are
my friend . . .?”
“You know I am."
"It’s because I’m not used to
things I suppose—but it hurts me to
■hare Drew with . . . other peo
• "
He. had known she meant with
“other women”. He had recognized
Hallam's type, had seen him now
and then with a tall girl in an
■range cap. “Does he ask you to
■hare him with—other people?”
"Oh, he laughs at me if I protest.
He says it doesn’t mean any
thing . . she caught herself up.
"Oh, I mustn’t ... I mustn’t speak
«f *t . . . even to . . . you . .
He had seen her distress, and had
•aid, gently. “What you say to me
is sacred. You know that?”
“Yes.”
He had let his hand rest for a mo
ment on her shoulder. Then they
had talked of other things.
Olles, going now up the lighthouse
stairs, thought of those meetings. He
thought, too, of the words he had
written in his journal—ls I saw a
ship headed for the rocks! Some
way must be found to save Joan’s i

irttle snip of life. But as yet ns had
not found it.
They came at last to the top of
the spiral staircase, and there was
the light, its prisms catching the
rays of the afternoon sun. Its brasses
gleaming, and on all sides blue skies,
blue seas, and gulls flying. William
explaining the mechanism of the
lamp was at his best. “My grand
father tended the Granitehead light
and my father. Things were more
dangerous then, and the work harder,
but the light was always a living
thing to them as it is to me.”
They stood looking down now
from that great height to where
Dilly’s orange umbrella was like a
mushroom on the sands. Near the
umbrella. Dilly. feeding her hens,
was dwarfed to the stature of a doll.
The baby in her pink dress might
have been a rosebud tossed up by
the waves.
Along the road which led across
the moor and thence to the houses
of the summer colony and to the
causeway which connected the main
land and the end of the peninsula, a
car was coming. It was running at
high speed and seemd to the watch
ing eyes of the people in the tower
like a mechanical toy wound up and
working like mad.
William said: “Not many cars
come this way. It may be some one
who wants to see the light.”
“Shall we go down?” Giles asked.
William looked once more from
the window. “Dilly’s there.” he said.
“She’ll show them the way.”
Dilly, having fed her hens had
turned at the sound of the motor,
and had seen the car stop in front
of the orange umbrella. A woman’s
voice said: “Think of serving tea in
these solitudes.”
And a man’s voice. “Why not.
Rose? Isn’t tea served everywhere?”
He leaned >ut and spoke to Dilly.
“We’d like to go up in the light
house. Xre visitors allowed?”
She said. “Yea My husband Is
over there now with some people.
You will find him at the top if you
don’t mind climbing the stairs alone.”
She went over to the lighthouse
and opened the door for them, and
as they began to ascend she stood
watching them. She thought to her
self that the woman was handsome
in that orange cap. and the man
was good-looking.
Their voices echoed and re-echoed.
Then at last they were silent, and
the echoes ceased.
Half way up the lighthouse stairs.
Rose had complained of dizziness.
“I’ll have to sit down a moment,
Drew. This is dreadful.” ‘
He was just above her. leading the
way. “I’m sorry. Perhaps we
shouldn’t have started.”
“Oh, that’s all right. I’ll be ready
to go on in a minute."
Looking down at her. he laughed,
"Shall I hold your hand?”
“It wouldn’t be the first time.”
Their eyes met. Then Rose said,

slowly, “Do you remember, Drew,
that old tower in {Trance? Thia
makes me think of it.”
So that was why she had stopped
on the stairs) He had thought it
strange. Rose had. as a rule, a
steady head. As for the old tower,
there had been a romantic moment.
But it belonged to tIM past. And
the past was dead. There must be
no revival now as the burned-out
ashes of an ancient fir*.
Yet he let himself say. “1 remem

She looked up at him. “Are ws
never to capture it again?’’
“How can we?”
“We might . There was a
long silence, out of which she said,
feeling her way. "But 1 mustn’t
poach on your little Joan’s
must I?”
He thought it extremely bad taste
for her to bring Joan’s name into it
“Why should you think you could
poach on her preserves?”
“Sometimes I have fancied she v&S
a bit jealous, Drew."
“Os you?”
“Yes.”
“She needn’t ba,"
“Flatterer.”
“Oh, well, you know what T mean.
Rose. You and 1 like the game and
we play it. But Joan Is —different
She is mine in away that very few
women are in these days to men
they are going to marry. She never
sees anyone else, never thinks oi
anyone—but me.”
"And you aren’t bored by it?"
“Not at all.”
Rose's chin went up. “It may not
bore you now. But it will, some
day.”
"I think not. You see I’m rather
sold to the idea that she’s the last
and best. Rose.”
It was a brutal thing for him so
say, and he knew it. But . . . sh*
had brought it on herself . . .1
It was then that the echo of their
voices had ceased. Rose, staring up
at the snake-like evolutions of the
stairway, had broken the silence:
“You go to the top. I’ll stay here.”
“Oh, come along . . ."
“No.” petulantly, “I like my own
company best.”
He knew Rose’s moods. She
wanted to be coaxed back to good
temper. To have him sit on the
stairs beside her. and play the game.
But he didn’t want to play it. Not
here. In the dimness and silence . . .
and with the memory of those me.
ments in the old tower.
So he said: “I'll run on and be
down again before you know It."
He did not run, however, as fast
as he had anticipated. The stairs
were steep. He was out of breath
as he ascended the last of them and
emerged into a dazzling glass-en
closed space, which looked out on
sea and sky, and gave one a sense
of sailing in some celestial ship
straight through the blue.
