Chapter Two
TEN YEARS
'T'HB ten years that lay between
Mist Gertrude Moore at thirty
and Miss Gertrude Moore at forty
taught Marsha a great deal o how
to manage with many other things.
Even at sixteen she had learned
to look uncaring when she heard
some ancient gallant murmur, "A
daughter of the gnus!" some sport's
rough and hearty, "Jove, quite rip
ping!" or the honest and fervently
breathed "Wonderful girl!" which
sprang from the lips of a boy.
After sixteen was passed, she
didn't have to pretend unconcern.
She was so accustomed to full ad
miration by that bcur that sbe felt
no flutter from It Admiration was
so frequent that It wore the gray
garb of the entirely expected and the
bound-to-occur, and It often "quite
wearied" her.
Upon the streets, In restaurants
and In theaters, men glanced her
way casually to have their glance
hear your youngest boy nu croup
You'd better go home to blm. Aud
it you do your best to help your wife
care for him and to remember your
family, I shall say nothing of this."
Marsha stepped Into the taxlcab
that had followed the one In which
she had started her futile journey
with Herbert Craven. Doctor James
followed her. "Do you mind If I
smoke?" he asked. She choked out
a "No."
"Would you like to smoke?" he
asked after a little progress over an
assertive stretch of cobblestones.
Sbe gave him a blank look wblch
grew of surprise. Then she said a
weak "Yes."
"I carry them," he said, bringing
forth a neat, small leather case, "for
young ladles who try to elope"
"Does my aunt know?" she asked.
He nodded. Then he put bis hand
over hers. But his touch was unlike
any she had ever had from any other
man; It was only kindly and com
forting, and vastly paternal.
SOME DAY," he said slowly, "the
love that you need will come to
you, but It will never come through
cheating. I know what you need,
and of the shortage In your heart's
diet, but you would not have bad
love from Craven. A man who de
serts his family cannot give that; he
can give but a weak display of rather
wornout passion. Let me see you
are seventeen and you felt you

Monthly meteorological notes for
June ss compiled by W. J. Hutchi
son, lo?sl meteorologist, show a
mon'th of generally seasonable wea
ther with temperatures averaging
slightly below normal and precipita
tion a little In excess of normal.
Clear or partly cloudy skies prevailed
with two short periods of freshening
ralna.
Unsettled weather predominated
the first week of June with occasional
light showers. Moderately cool wea
ther with clear skies or changeable
cloudiness beginning In the second
week continued through to the 23rd.
Showery conditions opening again on
the 24th held through the 27th.
Clearing skies prevailed the last three
days with maximum temperatures
rapidly reaching higher levela daily
The highest maximum for the month
recorded 100 degrees on the 30th. A
minimum tempersture of 38 degrees
was the lowest.
June rains, although confined to
short periods snd mostly light In
character, were quite beneficial to
agriculture. In some of the outlying
districts of the valley showers weie
somewhat hoavler and did much to
help renew sou moisture.
Precipitation totaled 0.83 Inches
and was In excess of normal by 0.10
Inches. Seasonal rainfall continues
far below normal. At the close of
June rainfall for the period totaled
11.00 Inches and as compared with
normal for a like period, a deficiency
of 6.48 Inches is shown.
At times during the showery wea
ther occasional flashes of lightning
were observed over the mountains
and thunder was heard in a few in
stances, but none of these thunder
storms extended Into the valley.
Lightning fires In the forested areas
of the mountalna apparently were
few, and unimportant.
Wind movement totaled 4,909 miles,
which Is a slight Increase over the
average for June. Prevailing winds
were northwest and hourly velocities
averaged 6.8 miles per hour. The
highest maximum velocity .for the
month was recorded st 27 miles per
hour on the 23rd.

arrested and condensod; a little
bright gleam would come to their
eyes, Marsna measured men by the

stretch Mr. Kipling's line a bit, she
learned about women from them.
Most women let tbelr faces sour

mestle leash, or after a bitter glance
at Marsha, stared, angry, ahead.
Women, as a group, didn't like her.
They saw her as a n'enaca to a solid
and domestlo peace or to a budding
anair; and one does not make
frienda with a menace.
Marsha, at twenty-alx, waa loudly
rank In admitting that women
bored her, and she thought they did.
She did not consider tha fact that
the man who la stupid In business
usually proteases a distaste for bust
ness: that the woman who la hi.
TOrced saya there are no hannv mar.

that every distaste and aversion may

CHE walked alone a good nart of
the time, alwayi when aha did

many admiring males. To be Just to
her, women did not give her a chance
ana men gave to her too much
chance; and this often makes
trouble.
Doctor James, her aunt's Rector
and the Rector of St. Timothy's, waa
the one man In the world whom she
respected and the one man whom she
tried to avoid. He always made, In
an almost unexplored chamber of
her heart, the bitterest ache.
It was ha who had retrieved her
from an attempted elopement with
the music teacher at tha Church
School. Ha had found her, and tha
mettlng-eyed Mr. Craven (who was
well named) just In time.
"Well, Marsha," said Doctor
James. She turned, to go white.
"Craven," Doctor James went on, "I

touched him and that told him too
much of her fear that waa made by
her thought of "going home."
He went with Martha Intn fU.
Gertrude's presence that day. When
suss Gertrude Bald, "1 did not
dream I did not rirnam that rha,

hla eyes met Marsha'a and he saw''
a flash In them (that echoed one In
hla eyes) and he thought, "Thank
heaven, she has a sense of humor;
that ought to helpl"
Dr. James saw In Mnraha a
strangely thwarted little girl, one
who still showed, after all A tint r.aN

childish desire to please, to be loved,
and to live a happy life. But he
doubted thnt Aunt Gertrude's
strange code would permit her
niece to develop normally.
He nromlsed hlmaair that ha
would call on Marsha often and lend
her books, and he did, to build In her
a pretty reading taste. And one bad
day, when she followed him, wistful
and hungry to the hall, he slipped
Into her band a packet of clgarets;
grinning down at her as he did It
and aa he said, "Not In bed; a Or
