CHAPTER V— Continued
— ll —
In the small squure house where the
dynamo stood greasy and unrespon
sive, Bryn detached a pair of overalls
from a peg on the wail and climbed
into them. “Now,” lie sold, when
Gary had given him the pathological
history of the electric plant, “if you’ll
go and prepare a largo and delectable
dinner, and leave me alone in iny
glory, I’ll see what’s to he done, Gary.”
There was, ns Bryn had suspected,
nothing seriously wrong with the en
gine of the electric plant, lie opened
the cocks to drain out all the old oil,
cleaned the connections, and made a
note of the few parts it would he
necessary to replace. Before the mo
tor was started, lie decided, It would
l»o wise to inspect the connections at
the house. lie removed the greasy ov
eralls, hung them on the peg.
lie went to the kitchen and got a
drink. Gary was shelling peas. All
morning, as Bryn knew, lie and Debo
rah had spent making strawberry Jam ;
and now every window-sill was filled
with small ruby jars which caught
and held the sunlight.
"Where’s there a ladder?” lie asked.
“Out on the edge of tho orchard,”
Gary told him. “But you better he
careful of it. It isn’t as good as it
might he."
Bryn went out behind the house and
followed with ids eye the line of the
electric wires us they crossed the
trees and the brook. He went out to
the orchard, lifted the ladder lying
half-hidden In the grass, carried it
hack and propped it up against the
wall of the house, beneath place
where the wires entered. Trying encli
rung cautiously, he went up the ladder.
As he reached the top he turned
half-around as he took the pliers from
ids pocket, and was Just in time to
see Deborah emerge from her retreat
down near the bridge. He did not look
at her, but went busily to work, whis
tling blithely, attacking the wires at
their point of connection witli the
house.
There was a sudden ominous crack
ing which Bryn scarcely heard; he was
listening for Deborah’s footstep on
the path beside him, wondering wheth
er to look down and smile or to con
tinue absorbedly with ids work. lie
was spared the necessity of making a
choice; for, a moment after the un
heeded warning, the rung upon which
he was standing collapsed into splin
ters, and Bryn fell neatly through, lie
heard Deborah scream; the puppy
barked furiously; and then he dropped
into oblivion.
He awoke, a few moments later,
with something cold dashing across his
forehead, and the sound of Deborah’s
voice saying in a whisper. “More,
Gary, get more, quick!” The sound
of footsteps. Bryn lay motionless, col
lecting id nisei f. He was not hurt. He
knew he was not hurt. The grass was
thick, here, and lie had broken his
fall; ids head had probably been
whacked Just hard enougli to put him
out for a minute or two. He did not
open his eyes. Deborah was beside
Idm. She put her hand on Ids fore
head, lifted the wet hair hack from
his brow.
She bent over him. “Don’t die,”
she whispered like a breath. “Don’t
die, please don’t die.”
He moved Ids head faintly, nnd lift
ed Ids hand. He would find hers . . .
with Ids wedding ring on it . . . he
would hold it firmly, and tell her . . .
her little white hand . . . he groped
for it.
Something soft, and light fell on his
cheek, a delicate gentle touch. He
caught his breath and held It. The
touch came again, gentle, on Ills cheek,
1 at the side of his mouth. He threw
I off his pretense of weakness, put his
| hand up quickly, opened his eyes, his
heart thumping; and found himself
I clutching with both hands the puppy,
nosing him in nn anxiety of curiosi
ty. Deborah was gone.
He got up with the puppy under his
arm and strolled grimly around the
corner, to meet Gary, wild-eyed, ap
proaching with a brimming dipper of
water.
“You aren’t hurt, sir?” Gary gasped
breathlessly. “Aren’t you hurt?”
"Not u scratch,” Ilryu replied.
‘‘Sorry to frighten you.”
"Well, that Is good,” Gary said with
heartfelt emotion. “I got a terrible
fright. And Miss Deborah was com
ing to the house and saw you full.
She . , .” he stopped.
“She whnt?” Bryn asked calmly.
"She’s crying.”
Evening came on again; dinner was
served In the dining room, brighter
now with a host of tall tapers. Grand
mother was huppy tonight, gay nnd
light hearted. When dinner was over
she wanted to go for a little stroll.
It was a glorious night. The moon
had already risen, nnd hung, h huge
sliver lamp, Just over the top of the
lowest hill. The sky was deep blue.
Grandmother leaned on Bryn’s arm;
Deborah was on her other side.
They came bncjc to the front porch
nt last, but Grnndraother did not stop.
She did not seem to notice their awk
ward silences. Sho walked to the
corner of the house, nnd there, gently,
sho wjthdrew from between them and
tucked Deborah's arm In Bryn’s.
"There, my darlings,” she snid, with
the ghost of a lnugh. "Walk together
down the path beside the brook. It’s
a perfect night for lovers. I nm go
ing In now. Good night I” and before
Deborah’s hand could stop her, or
Bryn’s words could form themselves,
■he was gone.
“Very nice night,” Bryn snld for
mally.
“Yes,” Deborah agreed after a mo
ment.
She glanced np at him In the moon
light. hut his face vras cool and un
moved. Wordless, she followed ids
lead, walking quietly beside him. They
went slowly down along the brook.
They were almost at the end of the
path. He had not spoken. She lifted
her head. “I’m • . . I'm sorry you
fell and hurt yourself," S ), e ln
that delicious low voice with the tiny
break.
“I didn't hurt rayspif,- n rvu said
calmly. "Sorry to cause a commotion."
They reached the end of the path.
Bryn turned. Deborah hesitated, but,
after a second, turned beside him]
Half-way to the house she hesitated.
"It was . - • Und of you to remem
ber tobacco for Gary," S | le sn id. "T
didn't realize why he wasn’t smoking."
Bryn did not reply.
Almost back at (he house, sire spoke
again. Her voice held a hint of des
peration. "It - - • It is a lovely night,
isn't It?" she said.
"I think it’s a little chilly,” Bryn re
plied. "Ho you suppose your grand-

mother thinks we've been out long
enough now?”
She stopped and looked up at him.
And as he looked down at her, she
turned away with a little droop in her
shoulders, and left him.
* .... . .
Deborah stooa a .inst the stone rail
ing of the bnlfujy, surveying the
changes taking place in her little
world, and was thoroughly miserable.
Everyone seemed to he in a conspiracy
against Iter. Grandmother was very
happy; her cheeks grew [linker every
day, iter appetite had improved. Grand
mother, of course, thought that Debo
rah was happy too. She didn't begin
to realize how empty life was now, and
how lost and forlorn Deboruli was be
ginning to feel. It hadn't occurred to
her that this dream of hors which
had come true had never been Debo
rah's dream,
Yes, Iiryn was making Grandmother
happy; hut Hint was frightening. Be
cause, at the cml of the year . , .
And one couldn't dream of making a
bargain with him to continue tlie play
acting until . . - until Grandmother
didn't need anyone any longer. That
would he years and years, Deborah
hoped. And lie had his own life to
live, Ids own career to carve out, Ills
own . . . well, Ids own girl to marry.
Deborah fell to wondering wlint ids
own girl was like. Site would lie beau
tiful, of course, and probably tall and
queenly, instead of little and child
ish. It was diiliciilt to understand ivhat
her circumstances were that she would
allow him to make money for her in
such a strange way. if S | 10 were
wealthy, surely they would have been
married whether he had money or not
If site were poor, one would think that
she would have been willing to marry
1dm and share Ids difficult times with
him. There must he something about
her Hint Deborah didn't understand.
Deborah moved suddenly from the
balcony railing and went Inside her
own pretty bedroom; and there she
tiling herself on the bed and cried mis
erably Into the silver and violet spread.
After n long time she sat up and
dried her eyes. There wasn't anything
lo cry about. Wind If they had laughed
at her? She would never see the girl,
uml Hie girl would never see her. As
for the man. they were ns distant from
each other ns any two people could
possibly he, who had to uet at inter
vals an affectionate little comedy. The
other nltslit she had tried, It was true!
to he friendly, she had tried to npol-'
oglze for not accepting ids nsslstnnce
with better grace, to tell him how
sorry she was that he bail been hurt
while trying to help her; and he hadn't
allowed her to lie friendly. IJo had
been cold and unresponsive, and she
linietl him for It. Hut It was better
for him lo he so. Far better. There
wasn't nnythlng between them but the
relation of an ployer to a servant;
lie had said so himself.
She got down from the bed and tip
toed to the door. No one was about,
she knew that. The maids had been
here for two days, and the conk aa
well, hut they were all down In the
living room with Gary, putting It In
order.
Deborah went through the back door
and down the path to her old play
house.
