THE
IN AFTER YEARS
Mrs. Call ndvr v.’ui “nt home.'’ Randal
Stacey waa ut the door of »be mu
r <;in.
feeling unutterably bored nt the w l.o’v
thing. He sat down listlessly, word. : i. ¡.-
why upon earth ht Imd let his v.latlle
cousin drag him with her to sin ha I <: <4
ly crush. Then ffltadenly be la cm- p con
scious that he wns nst so alout and -mob-
served uh be imagined.
A girl was sittii.g 1 1 a low chair nearly
faring hin , a twinkle of amu.sament in
iter vy< 9 as tin y met bin own.
“St< plmule! is it indeed you?”
“It ts Indi ■ d.” she rcturmd. “I hove
txjen watching you for the last ten mir.
utes, feeling fo sorry for you.”
“I was bored to< xtinotion,” he allowed,
smiling hack at la r.
“Indeed,’ she ponder d r< !!<cth(ly. “It
all depends how u.e lool s i.l it, don’t you
know. For instance, Mrs. Calk ndrr i.-u-
ally has a lot of crkbri’icR, Lid thin, too.
one may always Lu certain of Liar.ug leal
ly good music.”
“Do you still Ring, Stephanie?”
“Yes, indeed. I am going to sing for
Mrs. (Jallctjder presently.’’
“It is so long since 1 heard you/’ Ik.n-
dal Stacey went on dreamily “Do you
remember those summer evenings when
you used to play ami sing to ns het wet 11
the lights? You uro very little cham-ed,
Stephanie, since thor.e old days. Ji'iw
long ago if serins! Is it four or five year. :
Where have you been all tIlls time, and
what have you beep doing?”
“Didn't you know where I v . t .8?” she
ask< d quietly.
“Ye rs, I heard at the time, but”—
“But you thought It best not to go and
see for yourself, ” she put in, vs lib a tinge
of mockery in her clear, sue; t voice.
She lifted Lt r ( y< s to bis .-.ml m< t his
gaze tn silence—n silence that made him
vaguely uncomfortable.
“I was young and foollsn,” she said
presently, speakii.g In a calm, m.atri r of
fact tone, “and at ti e tin c I did n< t un
derstand v, hat was perfectly j lain to me
afterward. It was extremely dense of me,
I admit.”
“You are speaking in enigmas.” he re
joined a trifle brnsqm ly and awkwardly.
“I wish you’d bo a little mure explb it.”
There was u pause, during which the
thoughts of imh had down buck to that
past he bail conjured up.
“Five years ago—bow long it seems!
Much can happen in that time, and inu< h
has happened. You aro changed, for in
stance. You have grown visibly older by
those five yarn. ”
This was not the Stephanie ho bad
known in “those old days,“ and yet bow
sweet and altogether desirable she seemed I
“Yrs,” slm went on, “you were different
then, or t1>e a plan.ottr lay ovtryou that I
was too infatuated to see through. Ke- •
member how I worshiped your beauty, 1
bow I helievi d you to Io all that was grand
and noble”—the laitphit g mockery in la r
tones made I.bn wince—“so painfully
youthful and foolish of me, was it noli
You told mo a fortune lay in my video —
do you recollect?—and you were inclined
to rave over my little rkitclies of charac
ter, but still, when I was left alone in the
world, to sink or swim us best I might,
you rifruimd from holding out u helping
hand to me, vvla n a word from you, w ho
had already won your way in the literary
world, might haxesaxid me many a for
lorn, heartbroken hour, and”—
“I didn't know! ' broke in Stacey eager
ly. “B'llew 11 e, I knew nothing, or 1
would have lalpil you. I would hav€
done anything f< »• you, Stephanie.”
“Yeu didn't know !” sheechoi d. “Bui
you youtsi If pointed out my capabilities
of which 1 was Ignorant.”
“Yes, yes, I I;now,” he protested. “Om
says what «mo can to < ncoiit.-.ge, of course
but J saw nothing to make me suppose yoi
would do more than others are trying t<
do.
There Is no royal road to succi s^
cither in writing or singing, Stc| lianle.”
“You spoke dillert-m ly then, but I sup
pose your word* had no meaning, an)
more (ban (he other ihlngs you said.”
“Stephanie, you aro hard on me, bu
hear me before you condemn. Justice a*
least should < iimpi I that much. I did can
for you in tl.m-e old days. I don't thii.l
you havoev.r I t i n long absent from n j
thoughts, I nt I wns a struggling author
and 1 luiil no right to ask jou to si are si
vagtton future, so I took the whest cours«,
in going away and leaving you ire?.”
“Still,” alm persisted in tho sumo cold
swevlt voice, “you might have shown im
how to lire the literar- • r musical |owii>
you tobl mo I pos'issid, might you not?’’
“My dear Stephanie,” ho 1 j ««stt.lnli d
“what would you hn\e<lonc? You had 1.
certain aptitude for saying 1 !e\< r thing«-’
and you had a j retty, ire-h voice of th«
average qual ty, I ut count lens other pci ph
Itnve both too. Where would have l>ien
thousoef putting out your poor little ef
forts against niimt < t our literary and
musical giants? Did you aspire to be a
brilliant authorvaw like the ovkbntlcd
Mrs. Vavasour, for instance?''
“Perhaps 1 did.” she nllowul, with an
odd smile. “I was very ambitious In the
days. 1 am still. I should Ilk«* to I
greater even than Mrs Vavt ««ur. ’
The group ut the end of tbe room bad
been broken up end Mrs. Callender came
toward them. Stephanie rose and followed
Mrs. Callomier into the music n om.
Stacey watched her uL.ip|<ar through
the door. Wlial a fool be laid Im n to h l
Stephanie Craven | ass out of his life in
those past days! Ho bad not rv .hzed it
before, lie bail been a mlsrral k» tool, but
he would do I otter now. And then nerols
his musings came the sound of a voice so
rich and full and sweet (but be slaritd to
bis feet.
“A pretty, fresh voloenf average qual
ity!” So much for the kwn p« nvtrutlon
on which be bail prided himself.
An i/igireri'wd sum milled her when
she ended her song, and Itandnll Stacey
could not reach her just then.
A tall, fair man w as bending over her
with open admiration, and Starty felt
vaguely annoy«d w ith him.
Mrs. Cnllem’’ r was standing near, He
turned to Io r.
“Who H tl.it fellow talking to Ml««
