rhythm oecause she was Aunt Line's
niece and the Grange, the book club.
II the civic activities which had
owea so much tc her aunt, expected
her to do what tier aunt's niece would
do. oo she did; It was something to do.
-1 couldn't have done dlffarently,"
she told herself, working alone
through the sunny mornings at her
kitchen window. She did not mind
thinking about things, now. At first It
had hurt to think. Now it made
things smoother, clearer. "1 couldn't
have set Judge adrift In the condi
tion he was in. 1 couldn't even go off
end quit on Uncle Henry now. bless

! She had saved a child, to grow up
' and be sound and right-minded and
'ntelllgent In a world that needed
such children badly. She had kept a
proud, decent old man from unhap
plness and dependence. At least her
unhapplness had not been In vain. It
dk not make oer happy to feel this.
But it made her feel safe. U made her
feel i ight with herself. She haC done
what the old house made her do. the
old house whose people had always
stood for right first. Cor decencies
first Whether o not ihe was ever
happy again, she knew dimly that In
the end she could be content.
"If this had Happened to me," she
Ihuught, "In thb city, 1 couldn't have
borne it Out here 1 can."
For the house was behind her. The
house fbregave her and took her back
after her years of forgetting it
She was young and strong and
normal After a while she could forget
some of the time, and laugh natu
rally, and be gay sometime, without
pretending.
Ellen came and went Usually she
brought soma young actor with her.
Rarely the same one twice. They
would make a foursome, with George,
weekends, driving about the coun
try, swimming, playing tennis.
George's place was tore and more a
rendezvous for the young people
around the countryside with Its
swimming pool, tennis courts, and a
host whose housekeeper loved noth
ing better than unexpected company.
There were eniety and companionship
for Eve. as wel) as work. To her
surprise the longing for Denny quiet
ed little by little. She hoped they
would not meet for a long time.
And at last the summer was over;
there was warm beautiful Connecti
cut Septen ber weather.

September morning, young and
light and strong. Eve realized that
shj was content She liked to cook
and be praised for It and make
money by It She liked to movi about
her own house and orchard. .If she
saw Denny, she supposed It would
bring the pain bock But she did not
have to see Denny.
Uncle Henry passed under the
window In tls straw hat calling up a
cheery word to her. Judge's clatter
ing feet followed aim; "Hey, wait
