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

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. "ThoyTe plenty to
whisper tbout"

met her yesterday dliumoon and
proposed to her In the evening.
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

"I'm gottlng bored wjth your
pond. Let's watt Indoors for Far-

"Yes, one does got bored with It,"
agreed the vicar, not moving. "But
one cones back to It And one gets

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
