CHAPTER II.
mDERE was a consultation lu
Mm. Vlllard's room. Tommy
Thomas Kilt lit the bend of
Mrs. Vlllurd's bed. T. J. Ed
wards, tile heavy umii with tbe thick
lidded eyes, sat on the otber side in
stolid silence. Cunningham leaned neg
ligently on tbe foot of the bed. Before
Mrs. Vlllnrd lay n picture of June clip
ped from ii Brynport paper on tbe day
of ber marriage to Ned Warner. Tom
my Thomas hud Jiint found It and bad
brougbt It witb ber. Cunningham
picked up tbe picture and looked at It
witb twlnkltug eyes, smoothing bis
white mustache complacently. Gilbert
Blye. sitting In tbe far corner on tbe
window Alll. with- bis Vandyke in bis
long, lean white band, suddenly rose
and, walking over to Cunningham, took
tbe picture from him and laid It on tbe
bed.- . . v
Tbe pretty nurse with'1 the pink
cheeks opened the door presently and
' beard these words in Biye's suave bat
forceful tones:
"The thing to do Is to gain ber confi
dence. ' ' There must be a complete
change of motbad." '
The voice stopped abruptly. Ed
wards. Cunningham, Tommy Thomas
and Mrs. Vlllnrd were All listening In
tently. -Mrs. Vlllard seemed troubled.
Tommy Thomas, with deviltry In ber
e.ves, was laughing at Cunningham,
who seemed uncomfortable. The round
bended Edwards sat slowly nodding as
be looked at Blye. Mrs. Vlllard reach
ed ()ictly forward and turned the
piece of paper on tbe bed face down
ward. She seemed even sad.
"Beg parduii." said the pretlnurse.
: Noting the midden silence und slipping
in, she put her bund under the sheet
and felt of Mrs. Vlllurd's iinklc. The
entire group was motionless, mid there
was a strained tension In the room un
til tbe nurse went out. She saw Mrs.
Vlllnrd reaching forward for the piece
of paper as she closed the door, nnd as
she ' walked away she heard Biye's
smooth, even voice again. :
Wbeu June came Into Mrs. Vlllard's
room tho conversation again stopped
abruptly, but the group moved Imme
diately. .
"Ob, see the pretty nurslcl" balled
Cunningham. And June glanced down
in cmbarrassmeut.
- In that moment of ber downcast eyes
Tommy Thomas and Mrs. Vlllard, Blye
and Edwards, all glared at Cuiiulng
bam. Ho flushed and walked nervously
over to the window;
"Really, the costume Is quite becom
ing to you," be added In a tone he bad
never used to her before, one of ex
travagant respect. . x
"indeed it Is, dear," said Tommy
Thomas. She slipped an arm around
June's waist protcctingly, and Mrs.
'11 In id glanced up at her companion
with moist eyes.
"Well, we'll see you later." said T. J.
Kdwnrds, with a clumsy attempt at
heartiness, and, rising, be bowed to
the Indies. "If there's anything I can
do. let mo know." Ills small eyes rov
ed to Juno, but there was no pntronls
Ingiy fatherly glance In them nnd no
.disposition to pat ber on tho shoulder.
Juno was puzzled. Thoro seemed to
lie a distinct chango lu tho attitude of
all these people toward her. Yester
day they hnd pursued her with a mock
ing certainly. In which there was an
underlying Insolence, but now they
ceiued to have lost that note. of ovcr
fuinillnrlty, nnd she liked the change.
Only Blye was tho same. His black
eyes glowed when they rested upon
her, and he still wore his sunvo smile,
though somehow ho seemed more
frank. Juno found herself suddenly
liking thin black Vnndykcd man. As
she turned to smooth Mrs. Vlllard's
pillows the. thrco men exchanged
glances, and the suavely smiling Gil
bert Blye stroked his black Vandyke.
They turned their eyes as by one ac
cord of the beautiful ruunway bride.
Ned Warner at the very moment In
which Blye und his crowd had changed
tbelr tactics toward June was, after
interminable red tape, securing the ad
dress of the owner of car No. M 007707.
and. that secured, he hurried out to
tbe beautiful borne of Mrs. Vlllard up
tbe Hudson. He came to it by the
lower road, nnd as he approached the
house be saw Mario lu the sloping hill
side garden. He stepped In tho shelter
of tbe wall to consider. A few dsys
ago bis first Impulse would have been
to rush up to Marie and selio ber and
compel ber to tell what sbe kuew, but
Marie bad proved herself to be a slip
pery customer. Sbe bnd denied know
ing Ned on bis first meeting with ber
after tbe runaway. She hod denied
knowing earnest and eager and black
Aunt Debby when that faithful servant
of June's mother bad happened upojt
Marie In the market, and only yester
day Marie bad run away from tbe en
tire family, taking June's colliei Bounc
er, with ber. There wus little to be
gained from Marie. If Ned were able
to force himself in and search the
house June would be bidden by some
one or be helped to escape, as bad
happened yesterday at the Widow
O'Keefe's and also at tbe Bond Securi
ties building and everywhere else. So
there wns but one t'tlng to do-to con
ceal himself about the grounds until
June herself should appear. He adopt
ed that course, and the weary hours
dragged on, noon, afternoon, evening.
Witb tbe dusk the luxurious limou
sine of Gilbert Blye left tho hospital,
aud in Its brlllluutly lighted comfort
eat tbe precious June and Mrs. Vlllard,
Tommy Thomas. Orln Cunningham
and Gilbert Blye. Strange what a dif
ference this day had made in June's
feeling townrd these people. They liked
her. If their views of llfo were not her
views she could keep ber own. They
seemed to have discovered that she
meant to retain her wnys of thinking
and living, and it wns so much nicer
since tliov hnd apparently acknowl
edged till. Now her work ns compan
ion to Mrs. Vlllard would he tniicn
more p!eKiint. They were chatting In
uiiy comradeship as they drew near the
Vlllard home.
Ned Warner an the shade "t night
drew In ventured Intn the Vlllnrd gar
den and murcr the house. As lie crept
mi toward the back porch the door
opened and .lime's collie came hound
ing out for mi evening run. Bouncer
had no 'Kiionei- hit I he open than he
gave, a loud yelp and. cnine tearing
Straight lu Ned's direction. He Jumped
mad circles around Ned. leaped upon
him. barking his loudest welcome, ran
halfway up to the house, ran back to
bark his Joy at Ned a vain and started
to bring Marie!
lie had no need to go nil tbe way.
Marie had runic out on (he rear porch
to see what was the mailer with Miss
June's iiet. nnd the light from the
house glistened on , her high cheek
bones and her liberal supply of gums.
Ned hud stepped back among (he
bushes with the hope of edging him
self over to the wall before Marie could
arrive. To his surprise, however.
Marie, though she looked down In that
direction, did not come. She called
Bouncer, and together they. went Into
tho house. Ned took advantage of
Marie's Indifference and of Bouncer's
coiillnemeiit to slip closer nnd look In
at the windows, front, side and renr.
Tbe lower floor wns brightly Illuminat
ed, the front porch light being lit. as If
some one were expected. June! Some
Instinct told Ned that she wns coming.
He concealed himself behind the shrub
bery nenr the porte-cochere nnd waited.
Suddenly he Involuntarily tensed
himself. Wheels were approaching.
Then n brilliantly lighted limousine
tped into sight, and us It turned
the curve Ned snw in it Ills beautiful
runaway bride. Over her wns bend'ng
the dnrk. handsome face of the black
Vnndyked tillbort Blye, his eyes glow-
Ing and on his Hps that despicable
smile.
