Chapter III.
It was all very dreamy, very
romantic, there -was the tirelUtht
dancing over the room, picking
oat bits of . biVS and crystal,
striking gleams from polished
mahogany. And - presently the
Hollya said good night bar, Ken
neth. and the girl remained, as he
told her, all quite as It should be
la the lane.
She stirred after a time, said
ae mast go. But he begged lor
another half hour. 'Aren't you
feappy here? Don't you like this.
Eve? Don't you like me?"
"Yes to all three. $nly
"You're in The Lane now,
weet child. Wait till Ken stirs
the fire."
He put another knot on the eni
liers, same back and gathered her
In hj3 arms, running his lingers
orer her cheek, bending to kiss
her. And she- sat there watching
the fire. A marvelous night a
marvelous boy this Ken. Only one
could be so drfcwsy ...
Room and firelight and even
Ken all mixed up together, getting
nwiy from "one in a blurry mist.
Drowsy . ; . so drowsy . . .-
Eve awakened solwly. The-long
lishes trembled upon her cheeks,
rose heavjlv still weighted with
sleep, rem bled and fell again. She
yarned, dug a fist at her eyes, sat
up and now the lashes lifted and
remained so.
r.ut her eyes were fogged by
dreams She saw a strange room,
si crate in which the fire had died.
Where was she? How in the world
had the got here! Not a sound
anywhere and the windows were
gray patches of dawn..
Bewildered and a little fright
ened, she tamed her head and
then both hands flew to her
mouth, choking back a scream. A
man here beside her fast
asleep! With his head fallen over
sidewise -why, his arm, was
around her she must have been
here a very long time ... in his
arms . . .
She remembered then. Yester
day she nearly fell from the train
and he pulled her back to safety.
And the walk up the mountain
pass, through five miles of coun
try lanes under blossoming trees
and sweet springtime sars. He
had kissed her brought her here
and she had fallen asleep,
drowsy after the long tramp How
boyish he loked with his tall fig
ure slouched a little on the settle
and ho whancUome . . . dark and
handsome.
But his nearness brought her
no thrill now, only a sudden hot
shame that rushed upon her in
sickening waves, burned her face,
stung her eyes. She had meant to
go on half dbzen times she
had been at the point of leaving
and he ha.d begged her to stay.
Just a little while, just a half
hour. - And- then. he had fallen
asleep. What would the unclea
say if they knew? What would
Mary Stewart, who had expected
her last night, think?
What would he think of her,
this Kenneth Wilmer? But of
course she never could face him
agate! WJ
And sow panic seised her. Sup
posing he awakened? Bad enough
that he should hare last nlgtrt to
remember how she crept Into am
arms. But If he opened his eyes
rw, saw that so was -aer still

Morlng slowing1 with the stealth
of a little cat. she lifted his arm.
placed It along the cushions,
slipped forward to (he edge of the
wide settee. Once he stirred, say
ing something In the broken way
of the deep sleeper, and she held
her breath.
But Ere was on her feet at last
and now she must waste precious
seconds while she garre him a long
look, fixing his face In her mem
ory. Eyes set wide apart how
dark and fall of light they had
been last nlghtl and little lines

skive for a nun",- But perhaps
If hey were not o he would not

thai the twenty-five years he
spoke ef last night relaxed and
rested by sleep, and the dark hair
tumbled but of its sleekness.
Veil she never would see aim
again, never feel his Strang arm
catching her te him. never again,
raise her Hps for hts hiss. And
this seemed strange far she felt
some way that she had known,
J him a -very long time Indeed-
longer than ant had known Mary
Stewart or even the uncles.
He stirred again and in a flurry
of dread the girl tiptoed away,
waiting In the little reception hall
to peer and listen. Bat so soand
came from anywhere and so she
found her. hat and the tweed coat,
and the next minute was speed
ing down the tons path to the
wicket gate while the house be
hind her slept.
Ere bad only a vague idea as
to the location ot the farm to
which Mary Stewart had come as
a bride six months ago. It was
beyond The Lane for Vary had
mentioned this artist colony tn
her letters! accordingly Eve set
out toward th west, - and only
Xter she sad climbed a hill and
crossed a valley and rounded a
bend fh the read did she stop to
smooth the knitted biege Jacket
and ekirt free 6f creases and dab
powder at her nose with her van
tty ease propped against the toe
rail of a crazy old log fence.
And all the time her thoughts
kept milling, asking uestaft de
manding answers she could hot
give. She had let him kiss her,
this Kenneth Wilmer gorgeous
thing that he was. She had let him
kiss her and hold her in his arms
that whs sweet almost within,
the hour of their meeting. Why?
How could he suddenly become
so different from the Eve Reads
she had known all her life? The
Ere who hated the very sugges
tion of cheapness and who would
give Roger lulls, whom at least
three "of the ancles expected her
to marry some day, only the most
gingerly ot kisses when he left
her after parties and his regular
8unday night visits. Not that
Roger expected anything else . . .
Cheap . . . Bat had this been
that? Somehow she could not feel
it sho. The thoaght lot Kenneth
went through her like golden
light, flooding her heart, ttllinr
the early moratag with glory.
Coal It beshe taagnt hot
breath at this hat she was ta
lore? Bat that would be sad
oh, a tragic thing when she
knew she must never see him
again. After last night never
again. Oh, she had been a fetal!
Blinded by sadden tears she
harried on. And after A time a
milk truck came rattling along
and Eve hailed the driver and
asked her way. He was going
right by the Stewart farm did
she want to ride f Weil, stej Uva
ly; he had to get along.
Eva stepped, glad this taciturn
farm youth asked ne questions.
And when he put her down and
pointed to an old fashioned farm
house a quarter of a mile from
the main highway she felt that
things were not going so badly. If
only she eonld think of seme rea
sonable explanation to give Mary.
But little Mrs. Stewart ' was
more concerned with broiling
bacon and coaxing toast to a gold
en crispness than with the exact
time and manner ot her friend's
arrival.
"Yon. came on the morning
train instead of last night, dear?
Oh, heavenly to see you "
