The Gate In
The Hedge
Why It Was Closed and
How Opened
By CLARISSA MACK1E

Pauline hummed a tune under her
breath as she tied the ribbons of her
little white shoes and reached for ber
tennis racket With a swing of snowy
linen skirts she tripped do wn the stairs
and out into the golden California sun
shine. '
Playing tennis by oneself is never
an entertaining ' pastime, but it is
good exercise, and when one lives with
a beautiful , but melancholy maiden
aunt on a retired country estate even
dally gymnastics can border on the
wildest excitement . ' .
Pauline's method consisted In serv-
i ing oue or more balls across the not
and then dashing around Into the op
posite court and returning the serv
I Ice with lightning rapidity and again
darting back to return the stroke.
Pauline flitted back and forth with
t pink cheeks and shining eyes. Her loos
k , j. ,,. ..., -
breath she hummed the happy little
tune broken by panting breath,
; Once her strong young arm sent the
ball sailing high over the tall hedge of
Cherokee roses Into the grounds of the
idjolnlng estate, and it was returned
to ber with such surprising swiftness
that Involuntarily she sent it back
again with a cry of triumph.
Again it returned, and once more
Pauline sent it flying rver the hedge.
There was a shar exclamation, soft
steps on the turf, and then over the
dividing wail of roses appeared ' a
shock of sun bleached hair, a pair of
good gray eyes and a handsome tan
ned countenance.
"Knocked me out there,' little girl,"
grinned the young man, holding out
the ball.
Pauline's bands, flew to ber long
braids and wound them In their accus
tomed coronet. Even then sbo did not
look a day over fifteen, while she was
really twenty-two.
"I beg your pardon," said the
stranger, his grin fading away. "I
thought you were a little girl, don't
you know!" .
"I'm not," explained Pauline wltb
dignity. "Thank you for returning the
ball," holding out ber hand. "Why, It's
not mine," she added, wltb a puzzled
glance at him, "although It has my
initials on it."
"P. :G.?" Jaaghed the man. , ','Thoso
are mine too; "I'm Paul Graham I
live in the stone bouse yonder," be ex
plained. "Tour ball disappeared, and I
substituted this one."
"I know," said Pauline, with a shy
smile. "I've peeped nt the bou.se
through the trees. It looks very lone
ly and mysterious with its shuttered
windows."
"They are all wide open now, and if
you care for neighbors here we are!"
He smiled ingratiatingly. "I've heard
there used to be a gate In this Chero
kee hedge. I wonder where it is."
Pauline flushed delicately and fboked
away with embarrassed eyes. "I be
lieve the gate was down in the rose
garden. It is nailed up now and over
grown with roses."
"Why was it nailed up? Do you
know?" be asked bluntly.
She shook her bead slightly. "I have
often wondered. Once I asked my
aunt, Miss Greye, but she never an
swered my question. A gate between
two gardens always seems so friendly.
Don't. you think so?"
He nodded. "This used to be our
home,, you know the stone house, I
mean but-It is many years since we
lived here. Since I was a little boy I
distinctly, recollect that gate in the
hedge, and I have always retained a
vision of a stately young woman wltb
Jet black hair and a coldly beautiful
face, who walked in a wilderness of
roses on the other side of the Kate."
"That must have been Aunt Ruth,"
laid Pauline. "Only her balr is like
snow. But she is still beautiful and
io cold. I wish she were not."
"I'm taking a holiday. I wish your
aunt would invite me over to play ten
nis. . Perhaps she remembers me," sug
gested Graham. ,
"I'm sure she would Invite you If sfce
:upv you were here," said Pnulii.e
politely, "I most run in now. She
would scold if .she Uuew I had talked
so long with a stranger. . But it's
awfully dull here. That is my only
excuse." She moved slowly away and
nodded a friendly farewell. . .. . I
The door of the library -Was ajar, aud
Pauline pushed it gently open and
peeped inside.
Seated at a flat desk was Ruth I
Greye. In the subdued light of the !
dimly lighted room she looked like a '
marble statue, Her gown was white,
and above it ber white throat arose In
a stately column to support her beau
tiful bead. Her face was lovely In
spite of its pallor and crowned with
soft masses of prematurely whitened
hair. Her brows formed straight black
lines, and the dark laBbas and brown
eyes were drooped over the desk. One
while band glided smoothly across the
paper as she wrote.
' Pauline watched her with td ml ra
don In her eyes. Whnt could have
been the sorrow that had taken all th
light from her aunt's face and left II
a beautiful mask of woe?
- Miss Greye looked up and caught the
girl's admiring gaze. A faint pink
tinged ber cheek and then faded. She
wiped her pen and placed it on the
tray, thrust her papers in a velvet port
folio and arose to dm stately height
"Pauluw," she said in her slow con
tralto, "I have Instructed James to
lay out a new court on the north side
of the bouse. In the meantime please
do not play tennis."
"Why not?" asked Pauline boldly.
"Because I desire It." returned her
aunt haughtily. "That should be rea
son enough, Pauline, but 1 will add
that the owners of the house next door
have returned, and I forbid any one
of my household having communica
tion with them."
' "I am sorry," said Pauline calmly,
"but I have been talking with the son,
Paul Graham." ...
"What do you mean? Where did you
meet him?" demanded Miss . Greye
quickly.
In a few words Pauline related the
incident which had led to her acquaint
ance with young Graham. "He said
he used to know you when he was a
little boy, Aunt Ruth, but If you don't
wiRh me to I won't speak to him
again." .
Miss Greye s fine eyes blazed with
anger. "I do not forbid you to, Pau
line, but I hope you will not Paul
Graham's father is a doteslable man,
When 1 tell you that onco upon a time
I was engaged to marry him he was a
widower, aud Paul was a little lad In
dresses then. Walter Graham Is a
publisher, and 1 showed him a poem 1
bad written. Pauline, he laughed at
It"
Pauline, startled by this sudden con-'
fldence, knew not what to say. Mak
ers of books and publishers were re
mote beings who rarely strayed Into
her practical little world. Still, she
longed to comfort the troubled woman.
-."Perhaps he laughed because was
It a humorqus poem. Aunt Ruth?" she
asked timidly.
"Humorous!" scoffed Miss Greye. "It
was called 'Love's Dirge.' "
"Oh." said Pauline faintly. "I have
no doubt it was a beautiful poem."
"It was," admitted the poetess brief
ly. "After that, of course, everything
was ended between Walter and me. I
bad 'the gate in the rose garden nailed
up, and now the hedge bns so over-
crown it that It cannot be found. It
la like tbe Incident It Is closed for
ever."
"And overgrowu with the roses of
memory," murmured Pauline as she
left the room and went upstairs.
In the library Ruth Greye stood
with down bent bead, her eyes fixed
on the rug at ber feet. "Tbe roses of
memory," she 'repeated- softly, and
there were tears in her eyes.
At the end of six weeks the repairs
on the stone bouse were about com
pleted.. Father and eon had overseen
the regeneration of the neglected es
tate until it ', verily bloomed as the
roses that crowded it' Paul Graham
had registered time by bis encounters
with Pauline Greye.
They had met .many times. Four
times he had passed her pony cart as
his motor watered by. Then he bad
tired of the car as an unsociable
means of. locomotion and. mounted a
horse. Often he had overtaken ber
equipage and ridden slowly beside ber
as they talked, for Pauline bad de
cided she would avail herself to Miss
Greye's permission and continue ber
acquaintance wltb the inost Interest
Jug young man she had ever met
Their acquaintance ripened quickly,
and one day . when Pauline returned
home and saw the reflection of ber
own happy face in the mirror she
blushed as she realized she had learn
ed the most beautiful thing in the
world. After that she did not drive
She shyly kept to the northern grounds
or dreamed over a book in the wide
veranda. '
Paul haunted the roads" restlessly.
His own love was an acknowledged
i fact to himself, yet because of Pau
; line's unguarded position ho dared not
trust himself to see much of her, and
! he was miserable when she, too, hid
j herself away. .
One gloriously beautiful morning
j Ruth Greye arose from a sleepless
couch nnd walked slowly among the
: dew drenched roses in .her garden.
She stopped now and then to Inhale
the fragrance of a Cloth of Gold rose
! or to break a tiny cluster of half open
' ed buds. Suddenly she canio to the
' place where the hedge had overgrown
the rustic gate. Sho stopped nbruptly
and looked with startled eyes,
j Tbe hedge bad been carefully trim
t mod away, nnd the rustle gate, releas
' ed from Its fastenings, swung idly
with the rht breeze. Ruth moved
i close to the hedge and burled her face
' In tbe sweet smelling roses.
' There was a Arm step on the path,
and she looked up quickly to meet tho
glance of Waiter Graham on tho other
side of the rustle" gate. Her breath
came quickly, and she summoned all
her pride and fortitude to stool ber
heart against her former lover.
His band was on the swinging gate,
"You have opened it at last, Ruth,"
he said in a low tone. "Did yo f pen
It for me after all these years?"
Bhe did not answer. She was look
lng through the vistas of the rose gar
den, for in tbe distance two people
were walking. It was Paul and Pau
line, and his arm was about her waist,
and the glint of her golden balr shone
against the black of his coat So Ruth
and Walter, had once walked In years
gone by. 1 . -;; ;v.. v '
"Did you open the gate jVc me,
Buth?" repeated Walter Graf.o pa
tiently,'.,. Ruth pointed toward the lover. "1
am too proud and obstinate to da snch
a gracious deed," she said slowly.
"She Pauline must have opened the
gate for your son, Walter, let me
open the gate for you. - Will you come
back?" She laid her hand on the gate,
and It swung back for the first time In
many years to admit him to the gar
den of hifl love.
