C H A P T E R I— C on tin u ed The photographer shouldered his camera and went toward the house. He skirted the side balcony, the wlde- Himg doors giving a glimpse of an en­ trance hull, uml turning the corner emerged upon the land front of the long cupuclous building. Hayworth Showed across the channel iu a clus­ tering of gray roofs from which smoke skeins rose straight Into the suave lose-washed sky. The water rushed between, u swollen tide, threads of white dimpled eddies, telling of its racing speed. The door on this side of the house opened directly Into the living room. No hull within or porch without Inter­ fered with the view; the path ended unceremoniously at the foot of two broad steps that led to the threshold. On the lower of these steps Shine found a lady sitting smoking a ciga­ rette. This was the Marla of the cast, Mrs. Cornell in private life. Shine had found her as easy us himself, good liumoredly loquacious and not Involved In the prevailing discord. An udinir- uhle person to clear up mysteries. He sank down beside her on the step and took the cigarette box she Hipped toward him. “ Wouldn't you think," she said, “ a man us rich ns this Driscoll would tlx up round here better?” Shine, who laid artistic responses, had long learned not to Intrude them on the uninitiated. “ I guess he liked It wild,” he sug­ gested, and lit a cigarette. Shine hud been In the grove of pines, a growth of stunted trees lining In a hollow. He had followed the path through It, up the slope to the summer house and beyond to where the bluff dropped uway ill a sheer cliff to the channel. They called the place “ The 1'olnt" us It projected beyond the shore line In a rocky outthrust shoul­ der, gulls circling ulmut it, water seething below, lie looked there now, lei his glume slip along the curve of headlands till it reached the two girls, perched on u boulder like a pair of bright plunmged birds. He was think­ ing how lo approach Hie matter lu ills mind, when Mrs. Cornell went on; “ 1 don t see what uliyoue wanted to build u house here for cut off this way. It's too lonesome. Willi the tide at the lull as it is now you can’t get aslmre without a motor boat. You know that current's something fierce." He looked down at It, lls rushing corded surface purple dark : “ Looks to be some curreut.“ “ it would carry you out and 'Hood til. lit' to you. (iahrlel who runs the lu ineli (old me.

And the rise and fall to It — t couldn't tell you how many feet ll Is hat you'll see for yourself tonight tl you're awake all the channel bare, nothing hut rocks mid mild. And across llie middle of ll to Hayworth, a causeway. That's the only way you it ii get ashore al low tide. High er br.i you're pretty well murooned. It's s 'elusion, all right, if that's what j ’iu're after.” Shine was ufter liiforimitbm and with the talk running on tides and causeways he saw no chance of gel ting if. So lie tried to divert the gar rulous Indy: t'a Ml«« Saunders and Ml Sr* out there looking at the SUll Conn'll answered with era- it particularly where ne had taken the photograph.« of her in the living room. Once or twice the nm.sk hud been dropped and he hud «eeu the droop­ ing lines, the weariness, and some­ thing like fear on the delicate fea­ tures. For a space they smoked In silence. Round the corner of the house the tall figure of Stokes strolled into view. At the sight of them he nodded, wulked down to the whurf and dropped on a bench. Shine lowered Ills voice: “ What's the matter with him?" Sirs. Cornell met his eyes; her own were narrowed and sharp. “ What makes you think anything Is? ” ‘‘Ills whole niukeup—something’s wearing on him." She blew out a long shoot of smoke and, watching it, murmured; “ Yes, It’s out on him like a rash. He's crazy about Sybil, If you want to know what’s the matter with him.” "O il!” ll came with an understand ing inflection, the haggard glances ris­ ing on Shine’s memory. “ Can't hide It, doesn’t want to hide It. There’s no shame In him, trucking after the girl. And it's not as if he got any encouragement. She can’t hear him; that’s why she has Anne Tracy out there, ufruid If she sits alone five minutes he'll come loping up. You’d think if lie didn’t have any pride he’d have some feeling for Ills wife. She's half crazy with jealousy, burning up with It. These purple pas­ sions are all right in books, Mr. Shine, hut believe me they're not comfort­ able to live with." "I felt It.” "I guess you would, It’s In the air. All of us cooped up in this place where you can't get off. Sybil and Joe Tracy ready to light ut the drop of the hat and Flora going round In circles and Stokes like one of those fireworks that starts sputtering and you don’t know whether they're going to explode or die on you. I tell you I’ll be glud when we get out of here tomorrow morning." There was a footfall in the room behind them and Mrs. Cornell turned to see who was coming. “ Oh, Flora,” she suld. “ Come out and take a look ut the sunset. It’s something grand.” The womuu stepped out and stood beside them. She hud changed her costume uud her nuirovv blue linen diess outlined her too slender figure. Shine thought she would have been pretty If she Imd not looked so worn and tlilu. He noticed the brightness of her dark eyes, brilliant and quick moving as a bird's. There wus red on her cheekbones, a Hushed patch that was not rouge. Mrs. Cornell's expres­ sion recurred to hlui, "burning up”— (lie meager body, Hie Imt high color. Hie dry lips resolutely suiiiing, sug­ gested Inner tires. "Yes," she answered, “ It's a wonder­ ful evening.” "Tuke u clg.” Mrs. Cornell offered the box. “ Sit down, there’s plenty of room.” Shine moved up. "No, 1 can't sit down. There's some­ thing about the uir that makes you restless— too stiimiliitiiig. maybe." She raised her voice and culled to her lius- liaiid, "Aleck, aren’t you coining in to change your clothes?" Without moving, the man culled back: "Not yet. There's no hurry." She turned to Shine with u title con­ doning air of wifely tolerance; "Mr. Stokes lias been shut up so long In town lie can't get enough of the fresh ulr." "lie 's enjoying the scenery, too," Shine answered, and saw tier eyes travel to (lie two ligures on the rock. "Oh, tl|Bt of course that's the best part of It.” Then in a tone of bright discovery: "Why. look where Aline and Sybil are! Have they been there long?” "Ever since I've been here.” Mrs. Cornell’s voice was more than sooth­ ing. bluffly reassuring as Hie voice of one who (ells a child there Is no ghost. "And ever since Mr. Shine got through the pictures! Wallowing In the beau­ ties of nature like the rest of us." "Won't you wallow, too?" Shine Indicated the long unoccupied space on the step. She shook her head: "I like moving about. Something In this place gets ou my nerves, it's like being In a jail.” Du a deep breath pliasls: “ Yes, they're friends." "Aren't you nil?" "Seme of us knew each other before we ciiuie here," was her cryptic reply. Then she added pensively: "Six months ago you’d never have found Sybil Saunders looking at a sunset. She was the brightest thing!" "Awful misfortune that what hap pencil to her." She gave a derisive sound at the In- adequacy of the word: "Hull awful! Took the heart right out of her. If you ever saw a girl In love it was she- bound up III him. | Everything ready, the wedding day ! set, the trousseau made." Tears rose j In her eyes mid she dove Into her tight titling bodice for a handkerchief.

"Y'es. 1 enjoy the scenery b e tte r when it hasn’t got people In It.” They looked ut euch other; a sUll minute of eye communication. "She's all worked up,” he mur­ mured. Her answer was to point to the two girls and then to Stokes: “ Now she'll keep her eye on them from somewhere else— probably the side piazza. That’s the way you are when you're Jealous— the sight of It kills you und you can't stop watch­ ing.” “ Lord !” whispered Shine Into whose life no such gnawing passions had en­ tered. And lie thought of the girl In the page's dress who was afraid to sit alone, and the man on the wharf brooding within sight of her, and the woman who was hovering round them like u helpless distructed bird.

H E general volume of crime is on the downward trend in the United States, though the crime-dealing machinery of today should be reorganized to meet the changed conditions of modern life. The so-called crime wave has not increased in the last ten years. There are certain spectacular crimes, such as bank holdups, but the general volume is decreasing. There has been a diminution of vagrancy and drunkenness. During the last fifteen years, the number of automobiles has in­ creased many times and the revolver has been circulated widely. This is no reason for the American public to become terrorized, because there are a great number of law-abiding citizens. The freedom granted the youth of today and the liberties allowed by new inventions are blamed for crime conditions. New inventions are breeders of crime. Intelligence and discretion, with the American public keeping its feet on the ground, will aid in com­ bating lawlessness. Comparing the criminal of the past and present, there are bold criminals in the United States today, but none come up with Jesse James. The characters are different and methods today are dissimilar to those employed by old notorious criminals.
