But It was not a view of Great Rock which Influenced hltn. Just for a few ieconds as the heavy car swung around a curve Robin McKImber had looked Into the amethyst eyes of a lovely girl. He had looked Into many eyes, but these were different, baffling, alluring, inviting, repelling. He had barely time to see she was tall and slim and golden-haired. “1 hear,” said his mother's placid volee, “that the oldest Raxon girl Is good looking.” “Good-looking," he said Indignantly. “She Is a peach I” “When did you see her?” Mrs. Mc KImber looked nt him curiously. “I mean I've heard she Is a peach,” he explained. “They lived In Paris for some yenrs,” Mrs. McKImher added. “I Imagine they, are chic." “You het,"* said Robin heartily. McKImher sighed and spoke for the first time for some miles. “You neurly ran us off the road -a while ago," he said. "There was a drop of thirty feet at that point. I want to go to Washington. I don’t want to end up here.” “I must have the wheel tightened,” Itohln answered. He hoped he was not flushing. He* hud thought himself to be above such displays of emotion. But then he had never seen such a girl before. Until now he had believed thal writers who described heroines’ eyes ns violet or amethyst were mere ly lying. He knew now he had mis judged them. They too must have seen the eldest Raxon girl. It took Robin's utmost composure fo keep his face becomingly wreathed In smiles when he was introduced to the Misses Raxon. They were noth ing: usual types, overdressed and badly made up Whe,n they suggested he might like Io see the estate he agreed retidlly. so readily that the eld est girl dismissed her sisters with a gesture. As Hie eldest she was to have the first chance. Robin saw the golden girl as he crossed the golf links. "One of your house guests?" he asked, ns he hoped, without apparent Interest. "That’s Miss Brown," said the Rux- on girl. "No, she Isn't a guest.” "A neighbor perhaps?" The eldest Miss Raxon laughed mn- llelottsly. "She’s n sort of housekeeper-secre tary. Mother nnd we girls haven’t time to think about ordering meHls or firing servants, so we hired her." Miss Brown had a mnshle nnd was practicing short approaches. "Of all Hie nerve," said Oertrude Raxon. "I'll see mother stops that. She can't Iparn how to play golf here." Robin watched Miss Brown swing. The bnll cleared three pine trees and nestled within putting distance of the hole. As pretty a stroke ns he, a scratch man. conld ever hop? to make. "I Imagine she hus learnt a good bit of golf somewhere else," he said dryly. Gertrude Raxon hecuiue more and more distasteful to him. She was no empty-headed little flirt nnd could not Interest him. As soon ns he could he went hark to Ills room. HIs reward came nt dinner. Miss Rrown was there, quite well dressed. They were not Introduced, nnd she sat some dlstnnce from him. Robin deter mined to gel an Introduction after dinner. Arier dinner came a dance, nnd the evasion of li e two cider Itirxon girls was not easy. Itoh'n locked sour ly at an nnlimiled und gesticulating Frenchman—a viscount, as he recalled It—who carried on a long conversation In Ills native tongue with Miss Brown. Only once Itohln stared Into the vio let eyes. They seemed to look through him. But lie was s ir e Miss Brown rs'iiemhered Hint tiMimenl when there was a reiisonahlv gnml chance of the extinction of the McKItnlier finally. He wished he could ilnnce with her.

She was not making It easy. “I'm afraid you exaggerate," she said calmly. “I was standing on a rock fully two feet above the road level when you turned the comer so recklessly." HIs face fell. She could not help smiling a little. “But, of Course, If you really do want to apolo glze for being so careless—" “I do," he said earnestly. "Then you must apologize to your parents. They were In real danger and I was n o t” “I’m a most careful driver," he said “Ask my mother. What happened to _ day never happened to me before.” “What was that?” There wns a trace of a smile which passed over her face and was gone. "I saw that eyes could really he vlo let,” he answered. He looked Into them admiringly. “I forgot every thing." "You should lose your license," she said severely. But there was no douh; that she smiled as she turned away with a slight bow. She wns more used to verbal fenc ing than he had Imagined. On the whole, he decided he had behaved very stupidly. This was no brow beaten dependent thirsting for kind words. Itohln’s evening was spoiled John McKImber was puzzled eon cernlng Paul Raxon. He had known of Raxon for year«, but he had never met him nor believed very much In his Influence. McKImber had thought of him as a younger man who would look up to him as one having long ago won his spurs. McKImber had come here sure that victory would be his In the struggle. He was uneasily aware that Raxon was not easy to Impress. The younger man's knowledge of politics and poll tlclnns seemed uncanny. He wns without reverence for the dead or re spect for the living. Once or twice McKImher believed Ills host was laugh Ing at him. It would not be advisable to start any serious discussions until the two were on more friendly terms Raxon’s would not be the first polit ical aspirations that McKImber had nipped In the bud. That wns the duty of all sound machine politicians or popular government might creep In and destroy the machinery. Raxon would see he was wrong to Imperil Ills party because of his new-born ambi tions. For nlmost a generation now John McKImber had been the main stay of Ills party In Itiä own section of the state. If honors were to he awarded It wns to hint they should come. Raxon would probably see It In Hint light. If he did not there would be summoned the big men who must he obeyed. « • • • • • • Raxon had two big rooms for him self In a tower from which an unin lerrupted view of the sound could be enjoyed.
