"That ' I ; wish you Were more damned positive, young manl ' I'd like to have you for a son-in-law!" v - : f . ; ; The vlsl of Todd Shannon and Kathleen; to . the , Borden home served only to bewilder Bob Terry. The invitation had been extend ed by him in a spirit of bragga docio. . He had planned the eve ning, with himself east in the role of champion for his friend. Borden and Lois, he figured, would pa tronize them be nice to the point of insult. -r? ' Instead - of that, the' visit v bad been amaslng.. Bvea he, with his masculine lack of ; discernment, could, see that Kathleen , and Lois were attracted, to .each other. And Peter Borden and' Todd Shannon had discovered many topics of mu tual interest, .r: jv . v . : That was what bewildered Bob more than ' anything : else. ' The girls, he felt, he could understand. They , were radically different, yet very much alike. One had always been sheltered,' and blessed with every Jaxury and advantage. ; The other had been forced.to make her own way.- But both had brains and beauty; each knew the world in her own way. v Todd Shannon however, was rough and uncouth and blundering, whereas Peter Borden was super-cultured. Yet Todd Shannon and - Peter Borden had also liked each, other. . V Z Bob was beginning to feel that there was something - about the man, Borden., that he did not .un derstand. He was assailed by dis turbing doubts. He looked at Lois with new eyes, r-- : ' . ; He did not.: suspect that the quartet had been drawn together by a general Interest in himself. The situation set him to wonder ing and he wondered most about 2 Bob was not' lllndV He felt, rather than knew, that Lois feel ing toward him was .deeper than" mere . friendship, . more a, powerful than a woman's desire to shelter . . In, the old .days,, he had - wor shiped -.Lois from , afar with ; a radiant tm personality Now that old; urge - returned to ' him, land without any .knowledge that he was being unfair . to Kathleen.- he comnared the two girls. Hi grounda.of comparison were not reasonable, but ; prison ; had distorted his mental process. He was beginning : to feel a power without understanding it. The re turn , of a- semblance ' of .: self-re spect threw'' him .out ' of halance ; and he saw; himself fitting into a niche where he .did not belongs Lois, it seemed, might occupy that niche with him.. . . He was not consciously, disloyal to Kathleen; . he did not speculate upon whether-she were- good enough for him; But he did find himself wondering -whether; be might not ' care more for '-' Lois. Somehow the spirit of friendliness which he had seen that night . be tween Lois and Kathleen appeared to draw Lois nearer to himself. The new attitude showed itself in two ways. , For one thing.-he remained more r in , the Borden home, though never with Peter Borden. The hatred. of the slen der little man was too deeply in grained to be dispelled by any single revelation of kindliness. He retained his passion for revenge But at times when tiorden was not present. Bob delighted to sit with Lois, to' talk with her, to lounge sometimes for a half hour or more staring across the veranda railing Into the somnolent softness of a city street in late summer, dream ing dreams which he had thought were denied him forever. And by the same token, he was seeing less of Kathleen. She un derstood and was too wise to protest. She asked no questions But there were mornings when Carmodr noticed, that she came into the office with tiny wrlnklee of worry on her forehead and dark circles under her eyes. This wor ri,.Oajrpwau"a pleased him He investigated and learned some thing of conditions. He moistened his lips with his tongue and nod ded slowly to himself. The sit uation was coming around nicely and it required only a bit of mas terful . manipulation of which he was so diabolically capable. IIIf only apprehension was that Bob Terry might become soft. He summoned Todd Shannon. - The big man shuffled into tht office and gased upon Carmody with eyes shot through with Idol atry. Carmody motioned him to a seat. . 'Well, Todd," he asked, "what about it?". "Yes, sis. About what?" "This young man, Terry?" Todd raised his eyes slowly. He loved Bob Terry, but he looked upon Carmody almost as a god. " 'What's wrong with the lad? 'It's' none of my business. Todd, but I'm afraid he's rid in to a fall." Wrinkles of worry appeared How so, Mr. Carmody? x I ain't noticed nothing wrong." Carmody toyed with a sheaf of letters. "Isn't Terry engaged to your niece?" - - Apparently Carmody . was not interested. , : His . question camtf with startling abruptness, but in casual tone. . The slow-thlaking Todd, did not. suspect that he wa being pumped.. .v "Well. yes. sir, he is. Of course they ain't thinking of getting mar ried just yek.but 'I understand.", Carmody con-1 tinned, to crucify himself. "But Kathleen is very , deeply in love with him, isn't she?" 'Oh, . sura." " Todd grinned bashfully. ' "You know how a girl like her . would be. once she let herself fall In love." 'And she has this time?" 'Golly yes. Not that I blame her. Tact la. If r.
