Ha awoke the neit morning, feeling unaccountably free and light hearted. Ba tried that remedy rather often in succeeding weeks. Ardath seemed Dusted, at first, but she never uttered a word of protest. Paul began to suspect that as long as aha was left free to guide them through the tor' tuous mass folio ted by the Countess dl Marco and Reggie Van Twyne, the did not car greatly what be did. And bis boat cam more and more to seem Ilk a haven to which he could escsp st Intervale tnd renew his strength. It wts after one of these nights on the Irene that Paul unintentionally brought about one ef their sharpest quarrels. The morning wsa bright and fresh. His body wtt tingling from bis plunge la the bay; and ba strode up to the Tina whistling cheerfully, feeling that life waa simple, after all. He went to Ardath't bedroom. She was prop ped up among the pillows, glancing at the morning mail and tipping a cup of tea from a bed tray. Paul aat down beaside ber and slip ped bis arm about her shoulders. "eDarest," he said, ene smuea ana nustled hit chest playfully. 1 bad a caller this morning, on the boat," be said. "A little ragamuf fin named Pierre. He's about 10 years old. HI afather runs that little .tobacco shop at the end of th quay. Pierre swam all th way out to the boat to tea me It must have been half a mil. He came aboard as naked a cherub. I put my bathrobe on him end we est there and discussed th fishing business. He suggested that I take the Irene and go into th trad in earnest; he offered to be my manager and said he'd look out for my interest ashore and see that I got the best prices." He grinned. Ha s a great kid. Then he tightened his arm about ber. 'Ardath eouldn t we have a boy of our own?" She ssld nothing. If she stiffened slightly beneath his arm be did not node it, so intent was he on devel oping th idea that bad come to him. "what a place to bring up a young- star!" h ssld. "He d grow np brown aa an Arab and strong aa an ox. We could get a tutor down here, and when he wsa older he could go back to North umbra to school. And we we'd hav some point to our lives then, something real and great to bind us together and Paul! ' she said, drawing away and turning to face him. "Are you In- j sane V He stopped, taken completely aback, and stared at her. 'A baby!" ahe repeated. "Paul, what are you. thinking of!" . H looked at her in mounting dig- may. 'All because torn street urchin swam out to your old boat! Paul, what could we do with a child If we had on? How could we bring one up here? And besides " sh put a band on hit wrist "I'm getting on for 40, Paul. I'm not one of these healthy farm women. I'm" she look ed down at her slim, delicate body "I couldn't. It might kill me." Little red spots wers glowing In her cheeks. Panl sat for a long minute, looking Into her eyes, reading there nothing but defiance and angry sur prise. At last be stood up. Tm sorry," he said, coldly. "I won't mention it sgain." . As he went to the balcony to wait for breakfast he let himself feel, for the first time since he had left North umbra, that giving up hia throne had been a terrible and Irreparable mis take.
