Chapter IS THE VICAR'S POND THH1 Reverend Hnyden Frore sat beside bis pond and stirred In It with a muddy stick. From the banks of the pond, which was at the bottom oC the garden, be could look out over Kings Mallard and meditate upon the fifteen thousand destinies 'ifhlcn, bounded by the golden bay and the purple bills, wove their ways In and out of that strange pattern that Is dally life. Round him, as he sat and dabbled absorbedly, the garden lay neg lected and wild. For "1 will not be known as a saintly old man who loves roses and children," he would tow to bis Intimates. "Any other kind of saintly old man, It yon must, but cot the kind that dodders round with a basket and a pruning knife; and I don't like children or only a very few, very clean ones. I like the creatures In my pond." A step behind blra made him turn and bla stick nearly gild into the water. "You know you're being childish, Tlcar, and you're ashamed of your self," declared Leila Cane, advanc ing upon him. "I say, Leila watch that creature behind the big green stone I'll lend him over to the bank " (The atlck plunged and tapped). "There now! There he goes. What d'you think of him" "I think he's very well suited to his disgusting little pool." "No, no, he's not so bad. Watch him peer at me round that old tin. Mow, does he remind you of any one?" "Yea. Of fathor." The vicar began to laugh again and laughed until he had to wipe tears from bis eyes. "You are a mlscblovous old thing!" smiled Leila, lighting a cigarette from a leather case. "But lie certainly 1b terribly like fathor." Amusement left her voice. "Like father, dodging and hiding and smirking at the bottom of his dis gusting little pool." alio Jerked her neat head towards the town at hor foot. "Oh no, my dear Lellal One pool, you know, la very like another. Kings Mallard, Toxater, London, New York all much the same ex cept for size." "I wish I bad a pond." "Aren't you going to marry Far rell?" asked the vicar. "No. By the way, he's coming up presently to soe you before be goes back to Town," she added, "and I .want a lift. You don't mind my waylaying him here?" "Not at all. I was afraid you had come to tea." The old eyes twinkled rellevedly. The vicar did not like tea but almost every day some oharltablo matron or other made it her business to call and preside over the tray and the singing kettle. "I never thought you would catch Farrell, whon It came to the point," he added with that devastating frankness that glinted under his amiability like chain-mall under a liken skirt. Leila flushed a little but smllod. This mischievous, Incuiculable, wise old man was the only bumnn being tor whom she folt any depth of at toctlon; possibly because she was lightly afraid of him. "But you'd you'd have given us your blessing it " "Of course, my dear, If you had asked lt(" He touched her band, gentleness Itself. "Now, suppose you atop running attar rioh and wrong-beaded young man and mar ry for love Instead. It used to be fashionable, rot know; It will ls again. Fashions, I'm told, always come baok. And you're got too much money already." "Father's money. Every time I spend twenty shillings, nineteen of them whisper together." "1 daresay they da" The vicar was tranquil.

They were out all night "My dear Leila I " "But tlioy were! Arguing like hell. She kept on wiping her shoes on him and he kept on kissing them. Or words to that effect He didn't come back to South-the-Water till nearly breakfast. 1 wish you'd seen father's face!" She threw a stone at the creature In the pond. "I've been roped In on Farrell's side by Farrell and 1 expect you will be, too. That's one reason why 1 thought you'd better know about It." "Ah!" said the vicar. "Thank you. But I'm not sure I am so easily roped." Ridiculous, Infantile tears had sprung to her eyes and the old man looked up and saw them. "1 fool rather like that myself," he said In his quiet, Indrawr voice. "My dear, dear boy. . . . Some time ago 1 remember thinking that If he and Barbara Quentln met he might be attracted to her. Vory powerfully attracted. 1 remember thinking what a tragedy that would make of his life. . , , It's very dlsbenrtenlng to think that I've preached fortitude to others all these years and yet now hero 1 sit without a shred of It. . . , 1 am dismayed at the thought of tragedy for my boy." "When you listen to him," re marked Leila, swallowing the petty Jealousy, "you're not so sure about the tragedy part of It He's dead sure he'll get her." She forced a laugh. "He doesn't reckon on Mark." "Ha doesn't reckon on Barbora." The vicar stared down Into Kings Mallard; Leila stared down Into tbe pond, " he sun was near tbe rim of a cloud and there was a chilly little win Sho got up. "I'm gottlng bored wjth your pond. Let's watt Indoors for Far- roll." "Yes, one does got bored with It," agreed the vicar, not moving. "But one cones back to It And one gets angry ana frightened jbout It but" still ou . comes back to It You'll Sod that." He picked up his stick again and stirred violently; then leaned forward and watched the miniature upheaval In the little water world the obscurity, the commotion. "What djd you really come to see me about?" he asked, suddenly shrewd. I wanted 1 suppose I wanted you to give me advice. But I don't fancy yon will." "I think I have given you all the advice 1 can. . . , Ha, there's little sugary-face darting about agalnl . . . Do you want Farrell to marry Barbarp O.uentln, knowing that she doosn", lovo blm?" "Wouldn't It wipe out i ost of my problems?" "No, m dear Leila, It would not You have too nice a conscience tor that." "Vicarl" 'I beg your pardon.

"But Farrell told me that he'd made Barbara promise " "I don't think that any promise will effectively separate two people who genuinely Intond to marry." said the vicar.
