.s; Although the fnot t
Westurn saved Alison
j lije and perhaps her repu
,vn a well, Alison' father1
tinncte, a hard, cold woman, i
making appear that there tea
something suspicious in Westurn'
actions. Alison realise that her
ttepmothrr is her enemy; now
the is vigorously defending Guy
anainst the older tr o man' insinua
tions. Chapter IS
THE 8NAKE
"pOXSIDERINQ it was raining
cats and dogs and the nearest
Inn was six miles off," said Alison,
"he could hardly take me there In
the middle of the night, without lug
gage, could he? And I was far too
frightened to want to stop In the
house alone."
"Oh, as long as no one saw you
both, I don't suppose It matters, does
It?" said Mrs. Burners llehtly. "You
didn't get any visitors?"
"Hardly, at that hour of nfgbtl"
"I was thinking of the morning,"
said Mrs. Burners patiently. "I've
had a woman coming in to clean."
"She didn't come that morning,"
said Alison, brusquely.
"Well, that's all right! I'm look
ing forward to meeting the knight
errant! By the way, Bob, it you're
asking him to lunch, could we Just
run through our engagements to
gether? The Harveys have asked me
to dine and I'm not sure whether
I'm free."
Alison stood up.
"I think If you don't mind, I'll
Juflt go and take that aspirin." she
said.
As she turned to close the door be
hind her, she could see her father
move to the arm of Daphne Burners'
chair. Alison shut the door quickly.
Up In her own room, gay with
crisp green chintzes, she eat down
on the wide divan under the win
dow. She could not, did net even
want to cry. She felt as though all
feeling had been drained out of her
body, leaving only a cold blank de
spair. Many times on her Journey
from Switzerland, she had wondered
what her father's fiancee would be
like but never, even In the worst
momenls, bad she dreamed of any
thing as bad as this!
But there was nothing to be done.
Impossible to tell her father that the
woman he loved was untruthful. In
sincere, a designing gold-digger!
"I don't suppose he'd believe me if
I did," she concluded. "After all, I
couldn't explain to him all those lit
tle digs at me, or the way Daphne
kept dragging him in on her own
side. Well, I'm not going to go on
like that. I ll clear out and find a job,
that's all!"
She remembered with a warm
senpo of comfort her lunch with Guy.
"He's done things, real things!"
she decided. "One can feet that. He
must have had a rotten time or
something perhaps It's losing his
businessbut one can feel that he
doesn't wnnt life to be padded, that
he just faces up to things and takes
them as they come."
Presently she slipped quietly from
her room and ran down into the li
brary. Books had never Interested
her much, but there wore plenty of
them on the tall shelves whliih lined
the walls. Not that her father read
them; works on botany, his hobby,
made up his reading; his library
was Inherited.
On a top shelf, Alison round a
yard-square book on architecture,
with plates, which she carried back
to her own room.
IN the drawing room which she had
loft. Daphne Sumers sat talking,
one long hand with Its vivid nails
stroking Robert's ear, while she
raved about Alison.
"Just sweet! Absolutely unspoiled
darlinjc child! I think that she's
the most unsophisticated creature
that I've ever seen and so lovely!
I really thought the way In which
she did not even see the dangers
that sho'd run was quite too wonder
ful. You know, Bob, most girls now
adays are so hard-boiled. They'd
have real I ted at once that to spend
a night alone with a man like that
was simply well! But you could see
at once that the idea had never
crowd her mind dear Innocent!"
"Alison knows a lot for her age."
demurred Robert "More than you'd
think. You see, she's always acted as
hostess here since she was quite lit
tle, and met my friends and talked
and rend anything she liked and 10
on,"
Mrs. burners pinched his ear.
"I know, darling, hut you're a bit
of an Innocent yourself!"
"An old thing like me?" He was

looking down Into her dark eyes,
which, half narrowed, caressed his.
"You're not to call yourself that!
To me, at least, you're young al
most as young as she Is! You make
me feel old. Bob! Old and worldly
wise! Life hasn't been kind enough
to protect me!"
"It's going to be now. Don't
worry!"
"1 know It Is. Y'know, Bob, 1 don't
only love you but I feel so so grate
ful, too, I thank Providence all day
long for letting us meet I can't bear
the thought of losing you!"
''You're never going to " he be
gan, but she cut the end of that sen
tence with a kiss.
"I know. We're really one person,
aren't we? That's why I'm going
to say something that perhaps I
shouldn't."
"What? I've never seen hair that
grew like yours, Daphne, all those
fascinating little curls!"
She laughed softly.
"So. You mustn't tangle my hair.
I want to talk to you. Go and sit over
there!"
He obeyed, as he had obeyed her
ever since she first enchanted him
six weeks bofore, when they bad met
in the expensive hotel at Nice where
Mrs. Sumers, taking a long-planned
holiday, had found herself In ter
rible straits, all ber savings stolen
by a swindler, an botel bill owing,
and in a foreign land.
By mere chance, Robert overhear
ing her distracted explanation to the
manager, came to the rescue; a
lucky chance for him, as be said.
YOU look awfully solemn!" he
twitted.
"I am. I'm being serious. It'j about
Alison."
"What about her?"
The woman by the Are did not
miss that faint stiffening In nls voice
and body, as If to defend the girl
upstairs. Her own voice assumed the
low, nasal note which she usl when
she wanted the soft pedal. She ap
proached her point from an angle.
"You see, never having had a child
of my own, I feel that's perhaps the
most wonderful part about this. I've
gained not only your yourself, dar
ling, but a child of my own, too. 1
know she doesn't fee) like that yet
It's natural she shouldn't She can't
help being Just a little jealous! Chil
dren are. And she doesn't under
stand yet that I don't want to take
you away from her, I want you both
to love me too, that's all!"
"My dear, she's only shy," said
Robert fondly. "She was always ra
ther a reserved little thing. Walt till
she makes friends."
"That's Just what I want to do
to wait, patiently, until she realizes
that I'm Just longing for her love.
But in the meanwhile, Bob. I'm Just
well, a tiny bit frightened."
"Of Alison!"
"No, nol Dear child. Of course not.
1 mean for her."
"Why?"
Mrs. Sumers hesitated, picking
every word with Infinite care.
"I know It was all right when she
was at school. That's different But
now, now that she's coming out and
growing up, well, you'll have to be
careful, Boh."
"Careful?" He was gonulneiy pus
sled. "What about?"
Daphne Sumers smiled; there was
superior wisdom In that smile, It
was almost motherly.
"You don't realise, dear. She's a
very pretty girl, and when she's
dressed and so on, she'll be prettier
still. And when you add the fact that
she's got all that money coming to
her "
"She won't have any till I'm dead,"
put in Robert quickly.
"I know. I mean from the point of
view of the fortune-hunter, that's all.
It's not as if she depended on your
leaving It to her by will. Bob; It's
her mother's money. Isn't It? You've
only a life Interest?"
For ft brief second Daphne's eyes
slanted up at him, keenly noting his
nod. "Yes?" "Then don't yon see."
one urged, "It must go to her In the
end, mustn't It?" And not even In
trust! You know. In a woy I call It
almost wicked to leave money like
that to a young girl. It's it's asking
for trouble and she's too unsophis
ticated and fresh to see tt, even If
you told her.
"My dear, you don't know tne num
ber of crooks there are In this world!
But a woman like myself, alone and
poor, can't avoid them. I've met
dozens of men who'd thldk nothing
of marrying that child and making
her miserable, for the sake of her
money!"
