around the table then and caucht the
pleain in Caleii's eyes, lie tool: note of
Mis Sarah's illuminated fare and pave
way to a burst of q'.:eruiousncss not all
Fiimilatiui.
'What is the jokeV" he demanded in
a voice that set them all to rocking in
their chairs. "Ixt me in on it. let ma
laugh, to, if there Is anything worth
laughing at. Cal. you're growing old
old and feeble witted."
Ilarbara bobbed her head meekly,
iler gigh however. wa$ shameless.
Allison h:ul had experience with hid
daughter's seeming meekness. More
over, the working of Caleb's ami Sa
rah's faefs baffled him. lie waited,
fuming.
"Just before you and Uncle Cal came
in we we were talking about the
Tvcatlicr," the girl gurgled. "Mr. O'Mara
predicted it would rahscon. ajid I just
wanted to ask him what made him
think so."
It was very quiet for a moment.
Steve sat, a little red of face himself,
gaziug across into the girl's starry eye-.
"Go ahead." she prompted him, with
a gasp.
Thcu his lips began to curl until a
smile ' overspread Ids face and half
closed his eyes. lie leaned back and
raised obediently a quaintly solemn,
quaintly boyish treble.
"I wa'n't guessin," he averred sober
ly. ":ier I wa'n't thinkin' it will. It'll
jest be raiuin come sun up, and it'll be
good for till Wednesday fer sure."
At the beginning of that quavering
statement Dexter Allison's lips fell
apart. They remained open long after
Steve had. finished. Once he started to
rise, and then dropped back into his
chair, dumfounded. There was no
doubt concerning the success of his
daughter's query. At last he got to
his feet and padded around the table.
With a hand on either of the boy's
shoulders he turned that browned face
up to hi? own.
"you." he murmured weakly. "You!
And Elliott said that you could out
guess dear old Mother Nature herself!
-Well. I I'm blanked!"
They talked no more business at
table that morning, and Allison found
scant opportunity to' make himself
heard at all. I!vcn the reticence which
seemed a part of Steve's grave face
and Lig body was swept aside before
the tumult of questions that turn o red
from Barbara's lips, promptly to be
supplemented by Caleb whenever her
breath gave out.
It was minutes before Allison could
vvedge in a single remark, longer than
that before he sf-ppeJ frowning to

remember that moment of inexplicable
Tehcrcence outside on the veranda.
They had retrogressed as far as the
"injine" the "steam injine" when Al
lison finally made himself heard.
"What I can't remember is just why
you left us so suddenly. I know it was
some sort of a rumpus, with Barbara
In it there's always a woman, of
fourse but I can't recall"
He paused to ponder paused and be
came aware immediately of Barbara's
swift Filcnce and Steve's hint of self!
consciousness. Then it all returned to
him with a rush. He had his turn.
"Oh. but I do remember." he
drawled. "Why. of course of course!
It was a matter of knight errantry and
ladies fair! But who was it whose
choice conflicted with your own';"
He cocked his head on one side, mock
thoughtful; then he fell to pounding
his knee and roared with laughter.
"Archie Wickers lm in!"' he shouted.
"Archie Wickcrsham oh, Iid! I nev
er really appreciated that melee until
this minute. And you promised that
you'd bo back, didn't you, and well,
"o'gad, here jou are! Shake Lands
again, Steve. And. if I may be par
doned the idiom, allow me to assure
you that it was some battle!"
If it did nothing else. Allison's pon
derous raillery served one end. It re
moved any sentimental awkwardness
which might have attached to the epi
sode, and yet the girl rather resented
lis Leintr so completely reduced to
trims of farce comedy. When the nieii
love, after breakfast, to go down into
the town. she. too. declared her luten
liu of accompanying them, as though
t! were the expected thing. She cross -the

their eyes upon the slender figure in
short- skirt and wooly sweater beside,
the taller one in blue flannel before
them. And, as usual, Allison was the
first to spoak.
"Now I know what you meant when
you referred to that trip up the west
branch. Cal." he said. "And you were
right. It does take stuff to make that,
sort of gentleman. Isn't there any
thing more to tell me? I am truly in
terested, Cal."
So Caleb tojd him then of "Old
Tom's" tin box. And while he was ex
plaining the man and girl ahead, all in
one breath, skipped back to that day
before yesterday, now many years
gone. There was a quality of cama
raderie in the girl's half partetl lips
ano eager impulsiveness of tongue that
morr.lng that was entirely boyish. But
when Steve finally asked for Devereau
Cirr.r Devereau. who had followed
h ra to the hedge gap that day and
laid one hand upon his bowed, shamed
shoulder the light went from Bar
bara's eyes. And Stephen O'Mara. who
did not understand at first the quick
hurt which entered them, stopped smil
ing too.
"I liked him." Steve said simply.
"I've always remembered and liked
him. Thinking of him and and has
often kept me from being too iot:ely
nights, when I was .lonely enough."
"Do you remember a littie girl who
was at our place the summer you were
here':" Barbara then- asked. "A pale,
red lipped, very shy little thing named
Mary Graves?"
Stephen nodded.
"And do you remember how even
then Garry seemed to care for her?
lie was always supercilious with the
rest of us; he tormented us or ignored
us entirely, but never her."
Again the inclination of the head.
"Well, he grew up just that way."
Barbara went on. thoughtfully. "One
never could tell what was behind his
indifference or or flippancies. He
mocked at things, customs and courses
of action, which wp have come to ac
cept and and recognize. But he was
always gentle with her. and kind, and
oh. I think, reverend is the right
word! Now, knowing Garry as I do
as you will when you see him again
the phrase may seem a strange one to
apply to him. And yet it describes best
h's bearing toward Mary Graves two
years ago."
She was walking more slowly now.
without knowing it.
"He loved her with his whole soul.
Mr. O'Mara. and she married another
man, almost without a word of expla
nation to him. Nobody ever cited Garry
as a shining example, but he that man
whom Mary Graves married had an
unspeakable record! Her family made
the match the newspapers call it a
union of America's fairest youth and
powerful millions, don't they? Well,
he had them and she married him.
And Garret Devereau dropped out of
the world for a long time.
"It was a year before he came back.
People had already l.-egun to talk about
the way his father had gone before him
he shot himself, Mr. O'Mara, when he
became tired of waitiiig for Garry's
mother to return and when Garry re
appeared they talked more. I never
knew before that a change so terrible
could take place in any one so much a
man us I know Garry to be. It's not
just his face and h!s rather dreadful
silence. It's not the fact alone that he
drinks too much and shows it pitifiilly.
It'js oh, it's the pity that a brain so
keen could so deliberately commit sui
cide. "They've leguii to drop him, Mr.
O'Mara, and you know what that
means. But I'll always care for him
deeply. That's why I have asked him
up this fall. Don't you think you could
come down agjiin Friday if you have to
go back into the woods before tlven?
I'm going to have a party for some
week end guests, a masque dance.
Garry needs his friends now more than
he ever did, and andwhen you meet
him will you will you, please, not let
him oe that you notice how much he
has changed?" '
They found the conversation some
how less easy after that. Morrison
had grown inconceivably in those elaps
ed years. It was nolonger a river vil
lage. Morrison was a city now.
Once when a squatly huge, red head
ed, red shirted riverman with a week's
red stubble upon his chcekd lurched
eiit of a doorway ahead of them and
tood sunrling malevolently at O'Mara
the girl shrank against her companion
and clutched his arm." The red shirted
one fell to singing after they had
passed. A maudlin rendition of "Har
ridan. That's Me," followed them long
after they had rounded a corner. Steve
looked down and smiled casually into
Barbara's wide and startled eyes.
"That's a river boss." he explained,
'enjoying what he considers a roaring
gMiJ time. His name is Harrigan. He

"He's not exactly a friend of yoars.
is he?" she said.
"Well, not exactly. Steve ndmitted.
"Not when he is in that frame o
mind."
"Or in any other." the girl persisted,
and she glanced down at her hand, still
lying upon the bine flannel sleeve.
"Did you know that your arm grew as
hard as Iron . for an instant? T never
knew that any one s arm could grow
as hard as that. And is that the way
you always prepare to receive your
friends?"
Steve colored a little.
"Perhaps I'm overcautious." he re
plied. "But it has to be bard. It con
stitutes what one of my men. Joe Mor
gan.' calls 'accident insurance. "
Then ho Vice lighted up again. The
delighted lob of her head with which
she greeted that name astonished the
man. i
"Do you why. you must hrtve heard
of Joe!" he exclaimed.
"Joe Morgan." she laughed. "Fat
Joe.' isn't it? And of course I have
heard of him. You don't realize it. but
I know more about this East Coast
work and and the men who are do
ing flt than I had any Idea myself.
Why. I'll wager that you never knew,
yourself, that he once wrote in to the
otticiais insisting that the entry of his
name mi the files be changed from 'Joe
Morgan, cook.' to 'Joseph Morgan, as
sistant to Chief O'Mara !' "
Steve's chuckle of appreciation was
answer enough.
"I want to know Joe. please! Can't
I meet him. Mr. O'Mara?"
But the question was unnecessary.
Joe Morgan Fat Joe to the river front
and the construction squad was al
ready hustling in their direction.' even
before Steve, with that slow smile tug
ging at his lips, had finished assuring
her. that It was never necessary to
summon Joe into the presence of an
attractive member of the opposite sex.
He came without being called.
"Morning, chief," Fat Joe saluted,
in that thin and reedy tenor which
none but fat men have.
Steve managed the presentation with
extreme punctility and left them.
When he returned, almost an hour lat
er, he heard them both laughing long
iilfS
The Girl Shrank Against Her Compan
ion and Clutched His Arm.
before he came into view, and on the
waj- back up the hill the girl detailed
for him much of her couversatioa with
Fat Joe.
"Why should there be any any ele
ment of personal danger In this work
you are doing, Mr. O'Mara?" she final
ly asked. "And did I do wrong in
mentioning to Mr. Morgan how that
man came out of that place and glar
ed so at yon?"
His rejoinder should have been very
reassuring.
"So Joe has been hinting at that
mystery stuff again, has he? After
listening to him one is compelled to
believe that I run daily a veritable
gauntlet of nameless perils."
Barbara stood, small fists buried In
her sweater pockets, studying bis
smile of amusement.
"I shouldn't like to believe so," her
voice was faintly diffident. "And you
you haven't accepted my invitation
vfor Friday. May I expect you? I
didn't tell you, but Archie Archibald
Wickersham will be there, as well as
Jarry. So so you won't be entirely
unacquainted."
And then at those worda his face
changed. All in one fleet second, in
spite of the whole morning's quick inti
macy of mood and the spirit of com
panionship which to her had seemed a
delightfully new yet time tried thins,
Barbara found that she could not read
an inch behind those grave gray eyes.
She found his quiet countenance as on
readable as that of the utmost st ranger
might have been. And while she wait
ed, not entirely certain how displeased
she was at his deliberation, a blackest
of black horses soared splendidly orer
a fence to the north and came canter
ing down the road. The rider, a tall,
bareheaded girl, lifted her cro in sa
lute as she caught sight of tbenw
"My friend. Miriam Burrell," the girl
murmured in explanation to Steve, and
something had gone from her voice and
left it conventionally impersonal.
"She's riding Ragtime, and isn't he a
beauty almost as much a beauty as
she is herself?"'
The horse came on, to be reined up
at last directly in front of the two at
the roadsWe. Stephen O'Mara met for
a moment the level, measuring glance
of its rider before Miriam Burrell turn
ed to Earbara.
"I've enjoyed exceedingly our morn
ing canter, Bobs." her alto voice
drawled.
Then, before Barbara could reply, she
threw one looted leg from the stirrup
and dismounted. With the reins looped
over her elbow she faced the man in
blue flannel and corduroy, a tall, lithe
figure with coppery red hair and whit
est skin and doubly vivid lips.
"You're Stephen O'Mara," she said.
"Yon're Stephen O'Mara. for a thou
sand!" "I've just asked Mr. O'Mara to come
to my dance. Miriam." Barbara said,
"and how did you know him. pray?
I've asked him, but he is unflattcrtngly
long in accepting."
"Know him?" Miriam echoed. "Know
him! Oh. Mr. O'Mara and I have met
before. 1 think before the fall of the
Roman empire, wasn't it. Mr. O'Mara?
Weren't they dragging me in at the
wheel of a chariot one afternoon when
you were dealing out a gold piece to
ach of your legionaries?"
She laughed dryly, and Barbara felt
smaller and more forlorn and lonelier
still.
"No doubt Mr. O'Mara hasn't time to
be flattering. Bobs," she commented.
"But you will have time to come Fri
day for a little while, won't you?" she
asked.
Steve glanced down at the hand
which still felt the pressure of her
buckskin clad fingers.
"I have to work day and night some
weeks when things break badly." Steve
told her simply. "If I can," and he
turned to Barbara "if I can ! want to
come."
Miriam nodded her head with brisk
finality.
"If you can." she agreed. "Barbara
no doubt has been telling you about
Garret Devereau. hasn't she? Yes.
"ome if you can. I have heard. Mr.
U Mui, that you have once or twice
fought your way out of the dark when
everybody else had lost hope. I want
an opportunity to talk with a specialist
in such campaigns."
Stephen O'Mara had read a meaning
in the words of that contained, often
abrupt, straightly tall girl of which
Barbara Allison had not even dreamed.
He stood watching them when they
turned up the driveway, the horse

sweater and following like a dog. But
he wasn't thinking of Miriam Burrell
or of Garry Devereau. . He was won

Barbara asked Miriam this question.
"Should I have told Mr. O'Mara that
my engagement to Archibald Wicker
sham was to be announced at the
party?"
"Why should you have?" Miriam
crisply replied.
