Ml ASTER of MON
BY ROY VICKERS
J CHAPTER XII.
f Marritre, she would admit to
ierself, was plewant and even in
teresting. Sfc had expected to
find It absorbing and the plain
fact wa that It waa not absorb
ing. Sitting at breakfast aome few
dara after tbeir arrival ahe looked
across the table at Roger glancing
through his paier. She herself
bad suggested tome . weeks ago
that he should read the paper at
breakfast, bat had been startled
at the grateful eagerness with
which he bad adopted the sugges
tion. "Roger," he looked up. "Tell me
quite frankly it won't hurt do
I look a fright in the morning?"
Roger trailed indulgently.
"You ask tbat because you hare :
ju3t come to the conclusion that
you think you must be less inter
esting than the newspaper."
"As a matter of fact," she an
swered gravely. "I was more or
less serious?. Of course, I don't
really think I look a fright, but
"Lovely child! Can't you under
stand tbat 1 limply dare not take
any notice of you in the morning
or I would never go to the office!"
That, thought Siairley, was very
pleasant. It meant nothing, but It
was good love manners. Alan, for
instance, could not have said that
to save his life. That reflection
made her add:
"I wrote to Alan the day before
yesterday and told him we were
fcere."
"Did you?" he echoed, and she
saw that he was displeased.
"Jealous?", she taunted.
"Yes,' darling, jealous of every
man that breathes, with the po3si
11 exception of Alan Brennaway.
But need we invariably keep him
posted on all of our movements?"
Shirley perceived that there was
something behind the remark, and
being inexperienced In wifehood
dressed the matter.
"Out with it," she challenged.
He mimicked non-understanding.
"You've got something against
Alan," she elucidated. "When I
wade that arrangement with Mr.
Clifford abourtaking his place you
were pleased. But when I pointed
out afterward that Alan was stay
ing a few miles away, you became
suddenly grumpy. Wouldn't it be
rather a good idea to get to the
bottom of itnow that we are
talking about it?"
Roger tossed away the paper.
"I've no objection whatever to
Brennaway," he said precisely. "I
think he is one of the best fellows
alive and I'm very glad he's your
particular friend. But if there is
something that is fidgeting me
it has nothing to do with his per
sonality." "Fidgeting you?" she echoed.
"It's one of those things that "
lie broke off "well they hardly
exist when one tries to put them
into words yet they rattle you. It's
difficult to be clear. You remem

ber we agreed that we would make
it a cast-iron rule that I should
not gossip to you about shop.
One you begin with an interest
ing little item that seems of no
Importance, where are you going
to end!'
"I don't know where you're go
ing to end," said Shirley coldly.
"But you're begun by auggeatlng
that you're got professional know
ledge of something against Alan."
"Nothing of the kind! ... Ob
well, I shall hare to giro you the
substance of it" He waited for
her assurance but she gave none.
"Some weeks before we were mar
ried shortly after his return
Brennaway came to my office. My
father used to act for his father
and I believe the firm has done a
little business for him. Of course
he's a big man now with with
many ramifications. He wanted
me to so to Macedonia."
"What for?"
"In connection with a, mining
scheme be Is interested in. As a
matter of fact my own father waa
interested in it too. It would mean
my being out there at least six
months It's a dog's hole of a
country. Besides we were going
to get married, so naturally I
wasn't keen."
There was a note of petulance
in his voice that mystified her.
'But he could easily have found
another lawyer. Why didn't you
Just thank him and remind him
about me?"
For a moment he did not anwer.
"It wasn't quite as simple as
you seem to imagine," he said de
fenslvely. "To begin with, Bren
naway believes a good deal in that
mine and I don't."
"He knows all about mines."
"The mine may be all right but
there are difficulties in the way
that I should have to overcome
negotiating with the government.
and so on. Of course it was aw
fully decent of him to give me the
opportunity at least, he believed
it was. I don't think there ia any
thing in It because, well after all
it isn't my forte to negotiate with
comic-opera governments. You
see, in the special circumstances
well, he's your old friend, and
all that, I did not like to give him
an outright 'no.'
"Do you mean that you said
'yes'?" prompted Shirley.
"Upon my word, I don't know
whether I said 'yes' unequivocal
ly." Shirley noticed that ha was
floundering trying to carry the
situation with a show of frank
ness. "But you know what a
forceful chap he is. At the time, I
may have been led to think a good
deal more of the project than I
now think after much considera
tion." - '
The word "forceful" lingered.
She had never thought of Alan as
forceful. She had thought of him
as strong and reliable a man
who would always know whether
he had said yes or no and abide
by his word.
"We left it that I should let

too, with his trick ofatJesrptinT

"That's just exactly what I feel
about It," said Roger fervently.
"Apart from the fact that I don't
believe that I should be able to
pull it off when I get there as
you say, It would spoil everything
my going away just now."
"I suppose I should come with
you it you were to go?"
"Oh. no. He made that quite
clear. It's a hopeless eountry for
an American woman."
, "Well, that would complicate
matters still further. I can't think
why Alan should have suggested
it If you would rather not tell
him you can't do It. I'll tell him
for you!" 1
"It's lovely of you to offer," he
answered. "But, my dear little
girl, it would be absolutely fatal.

."What nonsense! Alan wouldn't
mind, when it's only me."
. Kpltoa wa unexpectedly agi
tated. "He may be a very old friend
of yours, but I can't take liberties
with him on that account," he
stammered. "I don't say that he
would take vengeful measures,
but I would lose caste in his eyes
and you wouldn't have that,
would you, dearest?" '
Shirley did not answer. She had
divined enough of the negotiations
to be quite sure that Roger had
already lost caste with Alan.
Instantly she veered round In
defense of her husband. Alan was
much, much older, and he cer
tainly had a bullying manner. He
bullied you when he liked you,
when he was only meaning to be
pleasant.
"I'd forget all about it. If I
were you, Roger. I should think
Alan probably has by now." She
rose from the table. I'm going to
see about that paneling this morn
ing. I probably shan't get back In
time for lunch. You'd better not
come back, either."
"The paneling, oh, yes! For the
dining room," said Kelton, re
lieved at the chance of subject.

bit stiff, wasn't .it?"
