CHAPTER II -
1 He' bad sot been sentimental
f about Shirley. He did not, for In
stance, ezpeet to And the gir! ot
(20. all rose and white against the
dark softness of tbe luxury she
foved. Reasonably, ho could ex
pect nothing at all, for what
, newt of her he had received had
told him nothing-
She had written, to him only
once, at her father's death, and
given him no inkling of growth or
' Change In her. He had many times
'seen adulation of her beauty, her
energy, her grace, in the society
' columns.
On the other band, she bad not
married, though twice tbere had
2een rumors of aa important
match.
Alan put out his cigarette. He
.found another tie, adjusted and
tied It carelessly he had always
. 3een lnamereni 10 nis appearance
finished dressing and went
'downstairs. There was no ner
,.vouBness in him now, only a great
longing to learn what, in seven
years, she had 'become; because
Iter fate was his. her destiny
'prould shape hl own.
He felt no inclination to linger
by the tablo at which she had left
Aiim seven years ago. The Felton
tiad given him what be had asked
lot it the assurance that ho had
made good. He left It without a
backward glance.
"Park Avenue!" bo barked at a
taxi-driver. "I don't remember the
'somber. Drive to the north side
of Seventieth street. Can you
tiear?"-
"AI1 right, sir, 111 slip along aa
fait as I can."
e
"Alan! It Is good to see yon
again!"
"Shirley ..."
He was standing In front of her
holding the hands she had given
Mm. Her welcoming laughter
broke into a little gasp and ho
knew he was crushing her hands;
ixe released them- then caught
them again.
"Shirley but, Shirley, you
look exactly the same! And It's
seven years ago! You were just
twenty."
"My dear Alan. Is it manners
to throw my age in my teeth like
jthis?"
She drew away, but still 'he
stared. It was so amazing that
he should be, physically, exactl
ly as he remembered her. Her
Stair bad. still that queer, dull
gleam that was nearer silver than
Sold; her eyes wera still wjdely,
deeply gray; her skin was still a
iwonder of white and rose. Seven
years had not. It would teem.
touched ber body at all.
"What did you expect, you old
silly toothless old lady? Peo
ple don't change nowadays until
they suddenly seem to bo decrepit
. . . . Let me look at- you now;
you have your back to the light.
Tour hair surely to goodness it
was dark when yon went away,
not fair? Alan! It's It Isn't fair.
It's gray!"
Her horror was sincere, so sin
cere that Alan found himself
chuckling over it as be would have
chuckled seven years ago. Shirley
had always been passionately
young. Her eyes were darkening,
her color was ebbing at his gray
balr. She was pushing him into a
chair, putting a cushion behind
his back.
"You poor Alan, what happened
down there? Oh, dear. I wish I
wasn't such a wretched corres
pondent! if I'd written to you, you
would have written to mo and
told me what was happening. You
might have written anyway,
Alan."
Alan (Itched the cushion on to
the floor.
"It was tor you to giro the
Sign."
"Always proud and stern. Al
an!" "With you, Shirley yes."
"I wonder why?"
She would not bar said that
seven years ago, because she
would not have wondered why.
His puis leaped at this first in
trigulng hint of a difference. Be
fore ha could probe it, the door
opened to admit a servant.
The ntan was deft and silent,
the china and silver were perfect
ly chosen, the trifles of food of
fered were neither commonplace
nor too strange. While the foot
man was hovering and, presently,
when ho had gone and she was
dispensing with tea, Shirley made
Alan talk. Ho recognised with
out resentment that ho was being
drawn out; Shirley had always
been skillful in that direction.
Ho found, as the "drawing-out"
proceeded, that she bad learned
to listen intelligently. Seven years
ago her own insistent vitality had
precluded a real sympathy. A sec
ond little difference . . . She was
asking him about his own affairs.
"I've got close to three millions
out ot it!"
"Splendid! Your own personal
property?"
"Yes if you like to put it like
that."
"Of course I like to! Don't
you?"
"I don't know. I've been hand
ling big money for seven years,
Shirley. Thousands millions; in

all, the means to the end."
"Yes, yes!" She caught him up
quickly. Tve come to see that,
too. Money Ls necessary but un
important."
You've learned that, Shirley?
His excitement was growing.
That exquisite flower-tinted face
that seven years had not touched,
that slim grace, that half-shy
voice thero were nothing; be
hind their lovely Immaturity,
Shirley's spirit was no longer Im
mature. If only one could throw
all consideration overboard and
question her; question her closely,
ruthlessly, explore her mind, her
soul, as a conqueror explores a
surrendered land!
"Alan, you're simply scowling at
me. You're still, I believe, dissat
isfied because I've kept time at
arm's length.".
"I want so intensely to know
about you, Shirley. Ton give me
no hint as to what has happened
to you the real you in seren
years. Physically, not a hair seems
to be changed. Bat beneath your
perpetual youth you hare devel
oped. Naturally. I want to know."
She made a little face at him.
She seemed reluctant to gratify
sua curiosity.
"Well, really where did we
leave off , as the children say? It
la rather difficult to summarise
mental processes. Won't yon tell
mo instead "
"No, Shirley, I won't. We left
Off in the Felton well, wo left
off with you at 20 telling me that
life was an adorable rag , .
Those were your exact words.
. . . Ot course, that passed. And
then?"
She was looking a little bewil
dered.
ut X don't think it did. I still
worship life the sensation ot liv
ing; It It Intoxicates me." She
leaned back in her chair, sighing
deeply. "I see no reason why I
should ever stop feeling like that;
It's my grande passion, my cult
What you. I dare say, would call
my religion."
Re was not yet conscious of his
disappointment because he did not
yet believe her.
"But surely M
"When I'm swimming or riding
or skating, I I simply exult in
the movement of my own body. I
want nothing except the strength
to continue forever ... I'm a pa
gan, Alan. I've discussed it with
lots of people social workers,
preachers, men of big affairs.
They can't convert me."
He was silent for a moment
"You would have me believe
yon haven't changed spiritually
either," he said then. "But that
isn't so; in one or two things I've
felt a difference."
"Oh!" She moved a cushion
sharply. "My experience has wid
ened, ,of course. When you went
away, daddy was still alive. He
gave me a royal time, you will
remember, and himself, too. He
believed in the Very best of every
thing. He told me, very early,
how he managed to get it."
"He merely bad to pay for It, I
presume," said Allan dully.
She moved the cushion again.
"What should you have placed
his income at?' she asked ab
ruptly. Alan considered it
MAboat fifty thousand a year,
I should say.
Shirley laughed when Alan es
timated her father's income at
fifty thousand a year.
"His actual Ineome which I
have Inherited was only fifteen,
she said.
"Good heavens! D'you mean
?"
"No, he was solvent, always.
But he could only rely on the fif
teen thousand. The margin he
made by speculating. He never
had a crash, because he never fol
lowed his own judgment; he knew
he was too ignorant" .

"He knew all the right people.
entertained them, and they advis
ed him. I didn't understand, until
I grew older, how easy it really
is."
. "You don't do tt?"
. "My dear Allan, don't shout
at me ... No, I don't do It. I
don't need to. Ho left me I00
000 fifteen thousand a year
and that with Aunt Marlon's
backing, is ample tor me. I dont
go short believe me!" She sighed
and laughed again. "But all the
same, I've watched and noted.
