"I have thought it om. I've been
thinking it over since that night in
Cheyenne?the first time we had to
?how the certificate. We won't have
" to ahow any certificate here. We're
aa free as the birds and the flowers."
- "Rack and Raff will expect as in
i' tonight. They won't like it."
"They're not expecting us. I wired
them two days ago that we wouldn't
< be home until Monday."
"Are?we going to stay here?until
Monday?"
"We are," sail Peter firmly.
"Peter, Peter," said Rowana, "be
careful, oh. be careful I If?you do
? this it?it will give me a grand
chance to be mean to you?if I want
to. I can make it hard for you to
- get a divorce?I can get alimgny "
"It'll be worth it," said Peter grim
(' !y. "Besides," he added smiling,
"even when you are Mrs. Peter
Bfande in fact, at heart you will still
be just Rowena Rostand. You are
immortal."
Rowena did a strange thing. She
clasped both her bands tightly over
Peter's arm and looked up into his
face?deep, deep into his eyes?
?earchingly, for a long time and did
not speak. Peter's fell at last before
the intensity of her silent gaze but
there was no diminution of purpose
io his manner. ^
"And you ought to know by this
time that when I make up my mind,
it's made." he said doggedly. "So
jpou needn't try to talk me out of it."
"I'm not coins to try," said Ro
faintly.
He helped her out of the rumble
tad cautioned her to be careful of
the rocky path up the httt.
"It's ea?y to get a twitted ankle
here," he said.
He even asked her to help carry
his bundles up from the car and
filed her arms with them. At the
foot of the steps that led to the wide
unroofed piazza* he kicked over
atone and produced a big brass key
that lay beneath
' ''l^ok at this," he said. "The
cabin's a sort of open house for
everybody and his friend, and the
hey bears the household motto.
*Come easy?go easy*?see?"
"Appropriate to week-end honey
rs, like us," she said quietly. '
"You would My that," said Peter. |
"! assure you, that was not the idea!
tack of it."
The cottage, which consisted of but I
one immense room and a huge
screened bath, with miniature kitch
enette. was roughly finished with
heavy oaken beams. There was a
great fireplace of natural stone, and
tanning end to end away from it on
both sides were studio couches
'^gainst the wall, comprising three
full sides of the cottage.
Water was supplied by a windmill
among the rocks bijriicr up the hill,
and Peter invited Kowena up with
Mm to wituesa the ceremony of
the wind.
"It's our ooe servant op here," he
aaid. "Loosing the windmill is ona
ft the real events of coming up.
Whan there ia a crowd they do tt
with a great processional, with in
cense ami mcantatio&s. But our
minds are on other things tonight so
we won't bother."
? Row ma followed him down the
ateep rocky path to the cabin again.
"Been here often?" she asked
casually.
"Yes." Peter was laying a fire
in the grate.
"Were you here with crowds?or
Just?alone?"
"Both."
Rowena walked about the cabin
rutting her bronze-bright hair with
both hands. She looked at the pic
tures?the autographs ? the candle*
stick#?the incense burners.
"Belong* to a woman, doesn't it,
Peterr
"Yea."
Peter waa opening up hi* bundles
and putting the food supplies in their
proper compartments.
"Do you think shell like your
bringing another?woman?here ?
"I don't care whether she does or
not"
Rew cm threw off her air of quiet
moodiness. She rolled up the sleeves
of her blouse and asked for a job.
Too can pot the rolls in the oven."
mid Ptkr. "And you may as well
get as much fan oat of things as you
can. There's oo use to try to get
away. You can't"
*Tni not going to try," she said.
Peter . pressed the button that
started the electric refrigeration,
p?t1cd out the drop-leaf table,,and
measured four cups of water into the
lea-kettle.
"I hope you're hungry," he said.
"We're eating camp rations tonight.
Tomorrow' III- show you some good
country cooking for I'm really the
cabin's star chef. But tonight my
mind's on other things and I don't
waat to be bothered. Our fare will
he quick aAd rough, and it will re
fute an appetite to enjoy it"
Ta fast ravenous" ?*id Rowena
politely* although knowing very well
that the smallest crumb would catch
in her throat
Peter measured four tableipoon
fuls of coffee into the pot and poured
boiling water over it to drip. Then
he act the table with silverware of
sorts and paper plates?"We never
wash anything but silver and pans
up here, he explained, "and toss a
co<r. to see who has to do it." He
laid out slices of cold roast beef, and
liverwurst, potato salad, crackers and
cheese. Then he opened a can of
soup* adding an equal portion of
water according to directions on the
can.
"You see, when I think of provid
ing for you as a good husband
should," he said, "I can't get away
"You don't know anything yet," she
assured hint
"Oh, wel? Fm taking the chance."
When?thty had finished supper he
cleared away the dishes quickly and
shoved the table into its corner. Then
he drew die big, high-backed divan
before the smoldering fire and heaped
it with cushions, and turned out all
the lights but left two candles glim
mering on the mantel.
She did not hesitate but went over
at once and sank down among the
cushions in the corner of the big
divan. Peter sat besidtrher and drew
her into his arms, and Constandne
crouched at their feet Rowena
made no resistance. For some time
they sat there, motionless and silent,
"This place is my mother'i," said Peter, gently.
from soup and crackers and checse.
The cheese trust ought to give you
a discount I wonder you haven't got
a band of mice following you about.
What a Pied Piper you'd be for
Hamelin I"
Rowena laughed tolerantly. "Cheese
it very good for one," she said.
Peter opened up a bottle of horse
radish, -put salt and pepper on the
table- and sugar, cursing softly be
cause he had forgotten cream for
the coffee. Then he filled a great
bowl with fresh fruit for a center
piece with candlesticks around it.
"Here you are, Mrs. Blande," he i
said jauntily md held a :hair forj
her.
Rowena *ank down, a little breath*
less, rather pale.
Just the barest fraction of an in
stant Peter hesitated. Then he lifted
her face with a very determined fore
finger?and touched his lips to hers>
faintly, almost timidly at first and
then with stubbornly rising courage
crushed them roughly It was with
quite an air of bold bravado that he
went to his own chair opposite, but
bis fa<* was flushed and his eyes did
not meet hers.
Rowena threw off her nervousness
in forced laughter.
"Oh, Pumpkin Eater," she said
gaily, though her voice was that of
one who has too little breath for a
torrent of tumbling words* "fancy
all this furor after three solid months
of marriage."
"You won't be laughing about it
three days from now" he said grimly.
"Oh, maybe I will," she answered
cheerfully. "I'm one of the grandest
little laughers you ever saw in your
life."
He smiled at her suddenly. "Yes,
you are, 111 say that for you You
are just great about?things like
that."
Deftly he served a portion of salad
and meat on a paper plate for her,
and poured the coffee.
"Sorry to have nothing better than
canned cow for your wedding-night,"
he said.
"Oh. I adore canned cow. I al
ways ask for it at all my weddings."
She was glad to have the coffee
and drank it steaming hot although
it scorched her throat But she could
not eat
'Whv don't you eat, Rowena?" he
demanded.
'Tm not hungry."
"You're not nervous, I hope?not
frightened, or anything."
'Not in the least I'm just not
hungry."
"Why aren't you hungry? You
haven't had anything to eat for
hours," he persisted stubbornly.
I never have much appetite, Peter.
You know I never eat much."
But you haven't eaten anything.
You usually eat something. You
didn't even eat your adored soup.
You're not sick, are you?"
"No." She smiled at him. the
friendly warn smile that was gen
uinely Rowena. "I think maybe it's
because I feel so sorry! for you,
Peter."
"Sorry?for me "
"Yes. Because you're doing such
? verv Stupid thing and putting your
self in my power like this, f can
do quite terrible things to you?after
|thi*?if T want to.?And I can be
mos* friahtfullv mean?if I want to."
"Yes, I know that"
J
both staring, a little awed and very
sober, into the flickering fire. It
was very still?the stillness seeemed
to touch them, to make them one
with it The light was low. Little
soft scents of wood and pine and
smoke crept out to them. Little soft
sounds of night in the hills crept in
to them. The chirr of katydids filled
the air.
Suddenly Peter lifted his hand and
drew ner face toward him until her
lips lay against his throat. His hand
caressed her shining, bronze-gold;
hair. ?
"Close your eyes,'' he said. 'It's
quite dark here and I will not talk.
Maybe you can forget it's only Peter
and think it's some one you like."
Rowena lay very still, scarcely
breathing, against him. He could feel
her lips upon his throat quivering
ever so little.
"Peter," she said.
"Mmmmm," he murmured indls
tinguishably.
"Who?whose cabin is it?"
He laughed softly. "Do?do you
care ?"
Unconsciously she stiffened a little
in his arms, her quivering lips grew
firm. But she pressed more closely
into the curve of his arm.
"No," she said firmly.
"It's my mother's," he said. "Sh?
likes this sort of thing."
Rowena relaxed and laughed a lit
tie, tremulously. And the throbbing
silence enfolded them warmly.
After a long while?"Peter," she
said again.
"Mmmmmmm."
"It's the third and last warning.
?You'd better take me to town?take
me right away quick?as last as ever
you can "
"It's too late now."
"Too late is better than?never,"
she said. "And pretty soon it will be
never." Unconsciously their voices
had fallen to whispers. "It's never
really too late?until it really is?too
late," she added enigmatically. "Peter
?believe me?you'd better??"
Again he laughed softly. "Why,
Rowena, why??You are my wife?"
"Because, if you don't?I warn
you, PeterI?I'll never let you go
again?never?as long as you live?
and it will be too late for ever."
Even against the straining of her
arms about him she wondered breath
lessly if he would rise up at that and
St away. But of course he didn't,
e laughed again, an odd pleased
laugh, and pressed his lips to her
fragrant hair.
And Constantine murmured quiet
contentment at their feet
