He aide. he went to the Episcopalian church and was doomed, anyway. Doctor Steddon and hi wife stared toward each other earnestly through the gloom and their hearts exchanged counsels without words or look. The rest o( the way home Dock Steddon was not a preacher anxious about his daughter's soul, but a father afraid for her life. Her health of body was outside the parish of a doctor of divinity; that was the business of a doctor of reality. "Tomorrow, Menu" he said. "I want you to go see Doctor Brcthcrick the very first thing." Mem shook her head and looked frightened. She was afraid of doc tor just now; their information was occult. But her father insisted i "If you don't promise, I'll go fetch him over myself tonight." This seemed to alarm Mem and she gasped: "I promisel I promise! I don't want you to go out again. Good-night mamma. Good mgtit, pnpa. That -i a fine sermon tonight." She did not linger for her usual tryst with Elwood, but hurried to her room, pausing on the stairs for a long bout with Vier cough, Hti parents waited in an anguish of anx iety for her to finish it. Then they put out the light and went up to bet. Throughout the night thev heard her coughing, a pitiful little noise like the barking of a sick covote. They were on a rack of fear, but their fear was not her. The cottgh to them was an ominous problem. To her it might be a promise, a solution, CHAPTER lit. (Next morning Mem went about her household chores and said noth . in of lvr promise. When she was reminded of it, she put off going un til her mother threatened' to go with her. Then she made haste to sej om alone. She walked around Doctor Breth erick's block two or three times un til she saw that no one was waiting. She caught the doctor, indeed, nist the few thing called "modern"' that are really modern.) the woman who asks no man to take upon himself the w hole burden of her food, her clothes, her thought, her destiny, or even her misdeeds. She lived in a generation where the girl plans to earn her living as the boy had always planned. She had come subtly to believe that a wife should no more be supported by her husband than a husband by hi wife. Her father loathed and dreaded what has always been called the mod ern woman. He denounced her in the pulpit and at home. For a time he had explained "the wickedness of these modern days" by the disgrace ful discontent of certain women, com paring them with the simple, sweet, home-loving women of old-fashioned days, and carefully omitting reference to the cruel, lawless, extravagant, home-destroying women who were just as old-fashioned and just as nu merous in the day when be was young as he had known when ha was young, but forgot a he grew old. But after the women of his congre gation had all become voters in spite of themselves, and he could see no change in their appearance or their activities, he dropped that denuncia tion and took up the moving picture as the new toy of his anxiety, Mem herself had felt no stirrings toward srhoUttie pursuits, or toward prfeionl nreer a doctor, a lawyer, or even a a named nure. Sh wanted lo rani niomy only for on reaw.it that hc iniuht re the burden of hrr hu.band. Calmly bad ottered little encour. agement, however, for womanly ca reer.

Their very horror of sin magnified its tempta tion, gave it an eternal flame, an arehaiigrlie importance. For them it was not merely a di. honorable, disgusting proof of un checked idealmin; it wa a defiance of dod, a plunge like l.uciier' across the battlement of heaven into the deserved damnation of hell whence there was no return forever, l'er hap the very trcmemlouuc of the abyss carried them over the urecipice when their lonely souls might have evaded a fall that looked les epic.

She asked him to turn hack and talk to her. And she made sure that the door to hi consulting room was closed. She told him that her parents were afraid her cold was more than a cold, and she coughed for him and endured his investigations and auscultations and the old bahvishness with which .he laid his head on her breast and on her shoulder blades. He asked her many question, and she grew so con fused and apt in blushes that he asked her more. Suddenly he flung her a startled look, gasped, and stared into her eyes as if he would ransack her mind. In the mere shifting of his eyelid muscles she could read amazement, incredulity, conviction, anger, and finally pitv. All he said was "My child!" There could be no solemner con ference than theirs. Doctor Rreth erick had attended Mem' mother when the girl was horn.
