(Continued From Yesterday.*
Gladys, too, was lost in her own ,
thoughts, sitting with that ease which
made her seem rather indolent, her j
head resting against the empty win
dow frame, facing the setting sun.
The rosy light made her hrown eyes 1
gleam like old copper, and there was
a moody look in them, as if in her
mind site wore defying something.
When he happened to glance at her, '
it occurred to Claude that it was a
hard destiny to be the exceptional per- 1
son in a community, to he more gift- j
ed or more intelligent than the rest.
For a girl it must be doubly hard.
He sat up suddenly and broke the
long silence.
“I forgot. Enid. I have a secret to
fell you. Over in the timber claim
the other day I started up a flock of
quail. They must be the only ones
loft in all this neighborhood, and I
doubt if they ever come out of the
timber. The blnegrass hasn't been
mowed in there for years—not since I
lost wept away to school—ami maybe
they live on the grass seeds. In sum
mer. of course, there are mulberries.'*
Enid wondered whether the birds
could have learned enough about the
world to stay hidden in the timber
lot. (’laude was s^re they had.
“Nobody ever goes near the place
fxcept father; lie stops there some
times. Maybe he has seen them and
never said a word. It would be just,
like him.” He told them lie had scat
tered-. shelled corn in the grass, so
that the birds would not he tempted
to fly over into Leonard Dawson's
Oornfield. “If Leonard saw them, he’d
likely take a shot at them.”
"Why don’t you ask him not to?”
Enid suggested.
Claude laughed “That would he
asking a good deal. When a bunch
of quail rise out of a cornfield they’re
a mighty tempting sight, if a man
likes hunting. Well have a picnic
for you when you come out next sum
mer, Gladys. There are some pretty
pi a can over there in the timber.”
Gladys started up. “Why, it's night
already! It's lovely here, but you,
must get me home. Enid.”
They found it dark inside. Claude
took Enid down the ladder and out
to her car. and then went back for
Gladys. She was sitting on the floor
at the top of the ladder. Giving her
his hand ho helped her to rise
"So you like my little house, ’ he
said gratefully.
"Ve«. Oh. yes!" Her voice was full
of feeling, hut she did uot exert her
self io say more. Claude descended
in front of her to keep her from slip
ping. She hung hack while he led
l »r through confusing doorways and
helped her over the piles of laths that
bttered the floors. At the edge of
•(he gaping cellar entrance she stopped
and leaned wearily on his arm for a
moment. She did not speak, but he
understood that his new house made,
her sad; that she. too, had come to the
place where she must turn out of
the old path. He longed to whisper to
her and beg her not to marry his
brother. Ho lingered and hesitated,
fumbling In the df«rk. She had his
own cursed kind of sensibility: she
would expect too much from life and
ho disappointed. He was reluctant
to lead her out into the chilly even
ing without fa me word of entreaty.
He would willingly have prolonged
their pa/cage—-through many rooms
and corridors. Perhaps, had that been
possible the strength in him would
have found what It was seeking: even
in this short interval it had stirred
and made Itself felt, had uttered a
confused appeal. Claude was greatly
surprised at himself.
CHAPTER XT.
Enid decided that she would be
married in the first week of June.
Early in May the plasterers and paint
ers began to be busy in the new'
house. The walls began to shine, and
Claude went about all day, oiling and
polishing the hard pine floors and
wainscoting. He hated to have any
body step on his floors. He planted
gourd vines about the back por« h. set
out clematis and lilac bushes, and
put in a kitchen garden. He and Enid
were going to Denver and Colorado
Springs for their wedding trip. but
Ralph would he at home then, and he
had promised to come over and water
the flowers and shrubs if the weather*
was dry.
Enid often brought her work and
sat sowing or the front porch while
Claude was rubbing the woodwork In
side the house, or digging and plant
ing. This was the best part of his
courtship. It seemed to him that he*
had never spent such happy days be
fore. If Enid did not i-ome, he kept
looking down the road and listening,
went from one thing to another and
made no progress. He felt full of
energy, so long as she sat there on
the porch, with lace and ribbons and
muslin in her lap. When he passed
by, going* in or out, and stopjeed to
be near her for a moment, she
.seemed glad to have him tarty. She
liked him to admire her needlework,
and did not hesitate to show him the
featherstitching and embroidery she
was putting on her new underclothes.
He could see, from the glances they
exchanged, that the painters thought
this very bold behavior in one so Soon
to he a bride. He thought it very
< harming behavior himself, though h»*
would never have expected It of Enid.
His heart beat hard when he realized
how far she confided in him. how little*
she was afraid of him! She* would let
him linger there, standing over her
and looking down at her quick fingers,
or sitting on the ground at h»*r feet,

gazing at the muslin pinned to her
knee, until his own sense of propriety
told him to get about his work and
spare the feelings of the painters.
“When are yir* going over to the
timber claim with me?" he asked,
dropping on the ground beside her
one warm, windy afternoon. Enid was
sitting on Ihe porelr floor, her back
JVainst a pillar, and her feet on one
of those round mats of pursley that
grow over hard-beaten earth. “I've
found my flock of quail again. They
live in the deep grass, over by a
ditch that holds water most of the
year. I'm going to plant a few rows
of peas in there, so they'll have a
feeding ground at home. I consider
Leonard's cornfield a great danger. I
don't know whether to take him Into
my confidence or not.”
“You’ve told Ernest Havel, I sup
pose?'’
"Oh. yes?” Claude replied, trying
not to be aware of the little note of
acrimony in her voice. “He's per
fectly safe. That place is a para
dise for birds. The trees are full of
nests. Y'oti can stand over there in
the morning and hear the young rob
ins squawking for their breakfast.
Come up early tomorrow tnornipg and
go over with me. won't you? But
wear heavy shoes; it's wet in the long
grass.
While tliry were talking a sudden
whirlwind swept round the corner of
the house, caught up the little mound
of folded lace corset covers and
strewed then) over the dusty yard.
Claude ran after them with Enid’s
(lowered workbag and thrust them
Into it as he eame upon one after
another, fluttering in the weeds. When
he returned Enid hail folded her
needle rase and was putting on her
hat. "Thank you.” she said with a
smile. "Did you find everything?”
■'! think so." He hurried toward
the car to hide his guilty face. One
little lace thin? he hart not put. Into
the ha?, but hart thrust into his
pocket.
The next momlnpt Enid came up
early to hear the birds in the timber.
