down and asked not to be dwturbed."
Barrett's face lost color. He hesi
tated a moment and then, all his
eagerness drained from him by fear,
mount eM the staira.
He tapped on the door that was
dosed between their rooms, heard
Elinor, say, "Come in if it'-a you, Bar
rett" Not "dearest" or "Barry," but
"Barrett."
He opened the ' door. She was
standing, wrapped in the yellow liei-
ligee, by & window. He saw that her
hands were tightly gripped and knew
that if he could touch them he
would find them cold in spite of the
day's heat.
. "I'd rather yon didn't kiss me.
please," she en id breathlessly as he
neared iier.
"You may be quite certain," he
said, "that I never shall unless you'd
much rather I would. I think you
know tnatr
"Yes, I do," she answered. There
was a pause, and then Elinor said
(Slowly, "Mother's told me.
DARHETT said slowly. "Suppose
we sit down and talk this over?
Just what has your mother told
you?"
, Elinor had dropped to the foot of
(he chaise longue. Hands clasped on
her knees, she looked like a frightened-
child on the verge of tears,
Barrett drew a chair near and sat
down, leaning toward her.
He looked so big and strong, yet
gentle, she thought. But he had been
cruel, too, and unfair to her. He' had
cheated though Rhe had given him a
heart filled with truth and eager
response to his lore.
"Mother told me , that that you
have an adopted son at the home of
a widow who lives in the country,
And that the child looks like you.
Why haven't you ever told me? Why
did you adopt him, Barrett t"
"I can't tell you that," be heard
himself answer in a dull monotone.
"Don't you think I should haTe
known?
"I don't know," he answered dully,
"I I told you everything that mat
tered. Barrett!
When the affair involves a wo
man a man cannot always tell ev
erything " he stated.
Her cheeks burned with anger
roused by a sharp flame of jealousy.
So he was still sheltering this wo
man who had come before her!
"You admit you are sheltering
aome woman? she asked. ;
"Yes, Elinor." His eyes troubled
her. . He was suffering. Even
through her own pain she saw that.
"You knew her before you knew
me?"
"Yes, dear"
"Long before?"
"Years." 1
"You were very young V
"Yes, and I haven't felt young
since except at those timee when
you have shown me that yon cared
for me.
"Please!" she bepged, shrinking.
, He dropped his face to his hands,
groaned and then sat erect, shifting
uneasily in hie chair. Then again,
ward but did not meet her eyes. In
forearms on his knees, he sat for-
stead he looked down at the rug at
bis feet. If he looked at her he
knew he might easily blurt out the
whole story.
"I wish you could believe," he said
slowly and miserably, "that things
are not always as they seem, dear
that I love you truly and as you
should be loved, that I would never
hurt you willingly. It's it's killing
me not to explain!"
