Hatched her mood this midsummer s
horning whose level early sunshine s
iomehow transfigured her. She had ?

eader touch, she clipped the chos- f
m blossoms. She did not crowd her ?
las&et?only the choicest blossoms d
vera fit for the day. Her birthday "
?half her world would come late: t
elth gifts and good wishes. She 1
vould be grateful enough for all? 1
et somehow yearned for only one 1
rail-wisher; since Austin Fay had 1
ome into her life all beside him 3
rere hut shadows. f
How her heart leaped at his joy- >
us hail! Rushing across the turf e
e snatched away her basket, set it s
own. and took both her hands ?
lying: "Forgive me, rose of roses; I '
&t I had to come ahead of the c

banco of asking you something 1

, "Let me see; is it about the color ?

I 7better sell Sir Clancelot, while the ?

F'' 'i^Ing happily. <

Esrae tried to hand back, to say 1

Bt.,l?lown rose, white outside but wit A '
F ft-glow of flame scarlet in ito i

T"ay took the flower eagerly, laid
it to his lips, and said, "Darling '

is a happy omen?it stands, you 3

Bsme started faintly. VI hate f

had one. Father begged me to the
. very last never to do anything that '
could not bear daylight.'" '
you really love me you will
trust mo;" Fay said in a hard. j
ft strained voice. 1
H It made Esme shiver, but she
W , faced him steadily saying: "if. you '
' can show me a reason?" stopping '
1 ? there as she caught a faint, indefinable
change in his glance,- He 1
did not speak?she went on, her
Sfe i-head drooping: "I do love you?I
y am ready to trust you against all I,
. ihe world. But?I cannot do it |
blindly?so much I owe to my !
rnsme
"You must trust blindly?or not
';VV, tat all," Fay said, fixing burning
hypnotic eyes upon her: "Unless
you do, this is good-by forever."
EV,C Esme shivered again. Heart.
Lt soul, body, every fiber of her
| yearned to yield to him. But
ft against that whelming passion
? stood the- tradition of a long, long
lind. No Wyeth had slurred or
stained it since the first of them
set' foot in America, almost three
hundred years hack. Last of the
name, she felt hound as no actual i
; : atfthority couid bind; but there was
, a traitor in camp?her swelling '
Inching heart. Dully she heard Fay l
j|pK','say: something?at first she hardly
sensed it. Then his words took
' -hold upon her ear: "You are twen- .
ty-one today?free! Your own
anistress. And I ask of you Just ]
' tfiis . one small thing?to let me

him to be fully so devoted." 1

After a breath she said difficultly: I

Lapsley after the first sentences j
ad not tried to interrupt.: He had
sense that his eavesdropping was
fter a sort providential. The bulk
? Esme's inheritance was in X C
: Q bonds. Fay must be planning
o get hold of them somehow?he
urely would not dare to ask her, to
end them outright" when neither
he nor anybody else knew very
ruch about him. So John explaind
that the call was lor Fay?an
inpatient friend, wanting to make
ure of his coming home. Esme
aid abstractedly "He is going. I
t-nlra. V??m ir\ tVia onplv train
omorrow?and say good-by."
Thereafter John excused himself
or the rest of the day. No?he
night not get back for the big
Inner, but she would see him soon
n that she might depend. Then
ie rode awajf headlong' but not
oward bis own plantation. His
cay lay townward. He knew
racing a long-distance call was
ikely to "take time, plus influence
nd maybe ready cash. In the
parkling gay of dawn Esme, alone
n her roadster, by Fay's insistnce
picked up her passenger and
ped down the long white road to
own. They were to go to a minster
living remote on quite the
ither side. Warned by phone, he
could be ready; would fill names
nto the blank license. Fay harl
;ot a week back. After he had
lone his office, and been silenced
>y a round fee, they would drive
ilissfully alcne together again into
he country, circle about and come
o the station upon its other side.
This would shut off prying or wonlering
eyes. Esmo sat silent and
vhite. Even Fay's ardent kisses
:ould not bring back her color. But
ihe walked firmly beside him up
he minister's s^eps and on through
he open door. Suddenly she was
jonscious of other heavier footiteps
following, of John's voice sayng
tensely: "Can't let you be marled.

^ay?"I must know where and how
iou expect to get the bonds you

"You get out' of this if you want

iraw a weapon. Esme caught his
irm, saying. "Until you answer, this
:nds all."
"There Is just one answer," John
nterjected. "He meant to marry
ou. force you to sign the bonds

rour fortune, as he has already lost
lis own." Then, briefly, he ex>loina/l'

ibout Fay himself, and therefrom
leduced all that was to happen.
'Better not miss your train," he
inished significantly. "Esme knows
will take care of her."
"How about this?" the minister
;aid, holding out the license when
"ay had vanished.
"I'll take care of that, too," John
said. "It may come in handy?later
in."
Sure enough it did?the sole sali-age,

Comet-Legs was a mischievous
