SYNOPSIS.
CHAPTER I.—Harriet Field, twenty
eight years old and beautiful, is the so
cial secretary of the flirtatious Mrs. Isa
belle Carter, at ••Crownlands,” Richard
Carter** home, and governess of 17-year
old Nina Carter. Ward, twenty-four years
old and impressionable, fancies himself In
love with his mother's attractive secre
tary. Mrs. Carter's latest "affair" Is
with young Anthony Pope, and the youth
ft taking It very seriously.
Chapter t l—Continued
C _ -
Harriet said nothing, and resumed
her seat as the old lady rustled slowly
away. “Who’s coming?” she asked in
an undertone, to Ward, as one more
motor swept about the carriage drive.
“What is it, Beautiful?” Ward
laughed. Harriet’s glorious eyes wid
ened into smiling warning. His open
and boyish admiration was a sort of
joke between them. Yet in this sec
ond. as he craned his neck to get a
glimpse of the approaching guests, a
sudden thought was born in her.
Honor had compelled her to a gen
erous policy with Ward. She had held
his admiration firmly in check; she
h&d maintained a big-sister attitude
that was as wholesome for herself as
for him.
But here, she thought with sudden
satisfaction, might be the realization
of her own ambition, after all. Ward
was but four years her junior, and
Ward would be Richard Carter's heir.
“It’s tne Bellamys and their crowd,”
•aid Ward, watching the approach of
newcomers. “Look at that man with
them, that fellow with the hair—
that’s Blondin I That’s the man I was
telling you about the other night, the
man whose name 1 couldn’t remem
ber 1”
"Who?"
Harriet did not know whether she
eald It or screamed IL She lost all
consciousness of her surroundings and
her neighbors for a few terrible sec
onds; her mouth was dry, her throat
constricted, and a hideous weakness
ran like nausea through* her entire
body. The hand with which she
touched the sugar tongs was icy cold,
a pain split her forehead, and she felt
suddenly tired and broken.
Ward had gone across to greet the
Bellamys; Harriet fixed her eyes
with a sort of fascination upon the
man to whom she presently saw him
talking. Almost everyone else In the
group was looking at him, too; Royal
Blondin was used to It; one of his
favorite affectations was an apparent
unconsciousness of being observed.
Well over six feet In height, he had
dropped his leonine head, with its
thick locks of dark hair, a little on
one side; his mobile, thin lips were
set, and his piercing eyes searched the
boy’s face with a sort of passionate
attention.
Introductions were In order, every
one wanted to meet the Bellamys’
friend, and Harriet saw that it pleased
him, for some Inscrutable reason, to
continue his ridiculous conversation
with the flattered Ward, and to accept
names and greetings absently, in an
aside, as It were, smiling perfunctorily
and briefly at the eager girls and
women, and returning immediately to
his concerned and passionate under
tones with the boy.
It was Isabelle who brought him to
the tea table. Harriet had felt, with
a sure premonition of disaster, that It
must be. She might not escape; there
was nothing for it but courage now.
Her breath was behaving badly, and
the muscles contracted in bar throat,
but she managed a smile.
“And this is Miss Field, Mr. Blon
din,” said Isabelle. “She will give you
some tea!”
“Miss Field,” said Royal Blondin,
and his dark hand came across the

1 teacups. Harriet, as his thin mouth
i twitched with just the hint of a smile,
' looked straight into his eyes, and she
' knew he was ns frightened as she.
But from neither was there a visible
sign of consternation.
A few seconds later Harriet Field
slipped from her place, crossed the
terrace with her heart beating sick
and fast with fright, and made her
J escape.
She and Nina had a luxurious suite
j on the second floor, shut off from the
rest of the house by a single door, and
rather remotely placed in a wing that
commanded a superb view of the river.
Nina, half-dressed, was sprawling
luxuriously on her bed when Harriet
came in. Glass doors were open upon
a square porch, and the sweet after
noon air stirred the crisp, transparent
curtains.
Harriet shut the door, and leaned
against It, and the world spun about
her. What now? What now? What
now? hammered her heart Nina
tossed aside her magazine, and regard
ed her with affectionate reproach.
“You ran upstairs!” she said. “I’m
lying on your bed because Maude had
the laundry all over mine. Are you
going to lie down?”
“No, my dear!” said Harriet, In an
odd, breathy whisper.
The terror began to flood her soul
and mind again. She went out to the
porch, and looked down into the clear
shade of the early twilight under the
trees. The terrace was deserted;
every sign of the tea party had van
ished, not a crumb marred the order
of the grass-grown bricks. The chairs
held formal attitudes, the table was
empty. All the motorcars were gone
from the drive. She turned back into
the room, breathing more easily.
At half-past seven she came up
from a little diplomatic adjusting in
the service end of the house, to peep
at Nina, who was reading in bed, and
to go on to Isabelle’s room. If Mrs.
Carter was alone, she liked to see
Harriet then, to be sure of any last
message, or to discuss any domestic
plan.
Harriet found her, exquisite la
twinkling black spangles, before her
mirror. Isabelle’s hair was dressed in
dark and shining waves and scallops,
netted invisibly, set with brilliant pins.
There was not an inch of her whole
beautiful little person that would not
have survived a critical inspection.
Her skin, her white throat, her arms
and hands and fingernails, her waist
and ankles and her pretty feet, were
all absolute perfection. The Illusion
that veiled her slender arms stood at
crisp angles; the silk stockings
showed a warm skin tint through their
thinness; her lower eyelids had been
skillfully darkened, her cheeks deli
cately rouged, and her lips touched
with carmine; her brows had been
clipped and trained and penciled, her
lashes brushed with liquid dye, and
what fragrant powders and perfumes
could gdd, had been added In gen
erous measure. She wore diamonds
on her fingers, in her ears, and about
her throat, and her gown was held at
her full smooth breast by a platinum
bar that bore a double line of mag
nificent stones. Harriet always
thought her handsome; tonight she
had to admit that her employer was
truly beautiful.
Mrs. Carter was in a pleasant mood;
she- had a good disposition, and there
was nothing 'n her life now to ruffle
it. She mused happily, her lips twitch
ing with some amusing memory. Then
she became businesslike. “Harriet, do
you go to the city this week?”
“Nina and the girls are to see Ruth
St. Denis on Friday,” Harriet said. “I
thought Madame Carter would take
them, but now she says no. But if
Nina stays with her grandmother over
night, I thought I would like to see
my sister; she hasn’t been very well.
That can wait, of course. Miss Jay’s
tea party is tomorrow; that’s Thurs
day—”
“And that reminds me that Louise
Jay telephoned today, and asked me
if you would take charge of the tea
table,” Isabelle said, with a shrewd
glance.
Harriet hesitated, and the color
crept Into her smooth cheeks. “One

wonders,” she mused, In a most un
promising tone, “whether one Is asked
as a maid, or a guest?”
“In this case, as a mother,” Isabelle
was Inspired to answer. “Personally,
I should very much like It for Nina’s
sake. But you suit yourself I”
- The tone depled the words ;_Hfirrtet
knew what she was expected to do.
“I’ll be delighted to help!” she said,
lifelessly. “A lot of women and chil
dren,” she reflected, “and nobody
drinking tea anyway, this weather!”
• •••••»
Nina was duly dressed for the tea
party the next day, and went to show
herself to her mother while Harriet
dressed. The young girl looked her
best in filmy white with its severely
plain ruffles, and with a wide white
hat on her thick, smoothly dressed
hair. Miss Field, too, although she
was very pale today, looked “simply
gorgeous,” as Isabelle expressed It,
when she saw them off in the car.
although Harriet’s gown was not new,
and the little flowered bat she had
crushed down upon her splendid hair
had been Isabelle’s own a season ago
Harriet was In no holiday mood; she
felt herself In a false position; this
was to be one of the times when she
paid high for all the beauty and lux
ury of her life.
“Here we are!” Nina gave a star
tled glance at the lawns and gardens
of the Jay mansion already dotted
with awnings and chairs, and sprinkled
with the bright gowns of the first
arrivals. They were early, and their
hostess, a handsome, heavily built
woman with corsets like armorplate
under her exquisite gown, and a
blonde bang covering her forehead,
came forward with her daughter to
meet them. Francesca was as slight
as a willow, with a demurely dropped
little head and a honeyed little self
possessed manner.
“Very decent of you, Miss Field!”
breathed Mrs. Jay, in a voice like that
of a horn. “You girls run along now—
people will be cornin’ at any minute.
I’m going to take Miss Field to the
table. Three hundred people cornin’,”
she confided as Harriet followed her
across the lawn, and to the rather
quiet corner of the awninged porch
where the tea table stood. “I’ll leave
you here, and you just ask for anything
you need—”
The matron melted away; Harriet
looked after her broad, retreating
back Indifferently. She would have
loaned Harriet’any amount of money,
the girl reflected, smoldering, she
would have shown her genuine friend
ship and generosity In a crisis. But
she would not introduce people to
Harriet this afternoon, and In a day
or two she would send Harriet a bit
of lace, or a dainty waist, as a delicate
reminder that the courtesy had been
a business one, after all.
Presently the sun came out for Har
riet in the arrival of a tall, swiftly
moving, dark-eyed woman some ten
years older than she was herself:
Mary Putnam, one of the real friends
the girl had gained In the last four
years. Young Mrs. Putnam, Harriet
used to think, with a little natural
jealousy under her admiration, had
everything. She was not pretty, but
hers was a distinguished appearance
and a lovely face; she had the self
possessed manner of a woman whose
whole life has been given to the social
arts; she had a clever, kindly, silent
husband who adored her; her home,
her garden, her clubs and her chari
ties. and finally she had her nursery,
where Billy and Betty were rioting
through an Ideal childhood.
“Harriet—-you dear child I” said the
rich and pleased voice, as Mary’s fine
hand crossed the tea table for a wel
coming touch. “But how nice to find
you here! I’ve just been trying to
think how long it is since I’ve seen
you."
“Not since the day you lunched with
Mrs. Carter, and that was almost two
weeks ago!”
Mrs. Putnam settled herself in the
neighboring chair.
“I’m chaperoning little Lettlce Gra
ham for a week,” she began, in the
delightful voice upon which Harriet
had modeled her own. “But Lettlce
is trying her little arts upon Ward
Carter. Dear boy, that!”
“Ward? He Is a dear!” Harriet
said, innocently.
“No blushing?” Mary Putnam asked,
with a smiling look. The color came
into Harriet’s lovely face, and the
smoky blue eyes widened innocently.
"Blushing—for Ward?” she asked.
Mrs. Putnam stirred her tea thought
fully.
“I didn’t know,” she said. “You’re
young, and you know him well, and
you’re—well, you have appearance, as
it were! Ward has fine stuff in him,
and also, I think, he Is beginning to
care. It would be an engagement that
would please the Carters, I imagine.”
The word engagement brought a
filmy vision before Harriet’s eyes, born
of the fragrance and sunshine of the
summer. She saw a ring, laughter
and congratulations, dinner parties
and receptions, shopping In glittering
Fifth avenue.
“A boy tn Ward’s' position may do
much worse than marry a lovely and
sensible woman,” Mrs. Putnam said.
“Well, It just occurred to me. It Is
your affair, of course. But looking
back one sees how much just the —
well, the lack of a tiny push has
meant in one’s life!”
“And this Is the push?” Harriet said,
her heart full of the confusion and
happiness that this unusual mood of
confidence and affection on Mary Put
nam’s part had brought her.
“Perhaps!” The smooth, cool hand
touched hers for a second before Mrs.
Putnam went upon her gracious way.
Harries hardly heard the bustle and
confusion about her for a few minutes.
She sat musing, with her splendid eyes
fixed upon some point invisible to the
joyous group about her.
To Nina, meanwhile, had come the
most extraordinary hour of her life.
She had sauntered to a green bench,
under great maples, with Lettlce Gra
ham and Harry Troutt and Anna
Poett And Joshua Brevoort had come
for Anna, and they had sauntered
away, with that mysterlous ease with
which other gfrlf seemed to manage
young men. And then Harry and Let
tlce had in some manner communi
cated with each other, for Lettlce had
jumped up suddenly, saying: “Nina,
will you -excuse us? We’ll be back
directly," and they had wandered off
tn the direction of the river, giggling
as they went. Nina had smiled gal
lantly In farewell, but her feelings
were deeply hurt. She hated to sit on
here, visibly alone, end yet there was
small object in going back to the ab
sorbed groups nearer the house.
Then came the miracle. For as she
uncomfortably waited. Ward’s friend,
the queer man with the black eyes and
thick hair, suddenly took the seat be
side her. Nina’s heart gave a plunge,
for If she was 11l at ease with “kids"
like Harry and Joshua, how much less
could she manage a conversation with
the Hon of the hour! But Royal Blon
din needed no help from Nina.
“You’re little Miss Carter, aren’t
you?” he said. "We were introduced,
back there, but there were too many
young men around you then for me to
get a word in ! Nice boys, all of them!
But not worth your while 1”
Nina murmured a confidence.
“What did you say?” Blondin said.
"But come,” he added, frankly, "you’re
not afraid of me, are you? My dear
little girl, I’m old erough to be your
father! Look up—l want to see those
eyes. That’s better. Now, that’s more
friendly. Tell me what you said?”
"I said—that mother expected me
to—to like them.”
"To —? Oh, to like the boys. Mother
expects lt? z Os course she does! And
some day she’ll expect to dress you in
white, and bid us all to come and
dance at the wedding 1 But in the
meantime. Mother mustn’t blame some
one who has just a little more discern
ment than —well, young Brevoort, for
example, for seeing that her tame
dove Is really a wild little seagull
starving for the sea. And you don’t
want to fall in love with one of these
lads for a year or two, anyway?”
“Oh, my, no I” Nina felt the expres
sion inadequate, but her breath bad
been taken away. The man had
turned about a little, his eyes were
all for her, and his arm, laid carelessly
along the back of the green bench,
almost touched the white ruffles. They
were In full sight of the house, too,
and If Lettlce or Anna came back,
they would see Nina In deep and last
ing conversation with the man that all
the older women were so mad about—
“ You don’t. But—what?” bent
his dark head.
"I said, 'But I don’t know how you
knew It' I” Nina repeated, looking
down in her overwhelming self-con
sciousness, but with a smile of utter
happiness and excitement.
A second later she looked up in
some alarm. He was silent —she had
somehow said the awkward thing
again 1 Nina’s heart fluttered nerv
ously’. __ _ _ _
OUwI
KO
She Looked Up at Him to Find His
Eyes Fixed Steadily Upon Her, and
Flushed Happily, With a Fast-Beat
ing Heart.
But what she saw reassured her.
Royal Blondin had squared himself
about, and had folded bls arras, and
was staring darkly Into space.
"How I knew It I" he said In a half
whisper, as If to himself, after a full
half-minute of silence that thrilled
Nina to the soul. "Child, I don't know I
Some day you and I will read bulks
together—wonderful books I And thm
perhaps we will begin to understand
the cosmic secret —why your soul
reachen out to mine—why I not only
want to know you better, but why It Is
my solemn obligation to take the ex
quisite thing your coming Into my life
may mean to us both I You and I have
somehow found each other In all this
wilderness of Iles and affectations, and
we’re going to be friends, aren't we?"
"I—hoi-s we are I” Nina said, clear
ing her throat, with a bashful laugh.
"You know we are I” Royal Blondin
amended. And In a musing tone he
added:* “Pm afraid I was a little bitter
a few hours ago. And then I saw yon,
just an honest, brave, bewildered little
girl, wondering why the deuce they
all make such a fuss about nothing—
clothes and bridge parties and din
ners—”
"They never Bay anything worth
while!" Nina said, with daring. There
was exquisite homage In the dropped,
listening head, the eyes that smiled
so close to her own. "But If I tell
Mother that, she thinks I'm crazy 1”
she added, lapsing Into the school ver
nacular against a desperate effort to
sustain the conversation at his level.
"Because you're a little natural
rebel." Interpreted the man, smilingly.
“Those eyes of yours say that. And It
doesn’t make for happiness. Little
Girl I” he warned her.
Nina narrowed her eyes; and stared
Into the green garden. She was not
wearing her glasses today, and hers
wefe fine eyes, albeit a trifle promi
nent, and with a somewhat strained
expression.
"Oh, I know that 1” sho said. “I like
the girls and boys—truly I do, and I
am popular with them all, I know
that I But -cases'l" said Nina with
scorn.
“Dear Heaven!” Royal aald under
his breath. "No—no —no —that’a not
for you!” be murmured. “And yet—”
and he turned upon her a look that
Nina was to remember with a thrill In
the waking hours of the summer night
—"and yet. Is It kindness to wake you
up. child?” he mused. “Is It right to
show you the full beauty of that quest
ing soul of yours?”
It was said as If to himself, as If
he thought aloud. But Nina answered
IL
“I often think." she said, mirthfully,
“that if people knew what I was
thinking, they'd go crazy! I manage
to keep the appearance of doing ex
actly what the others do. and I laugh
and flirt just as If that was the only
thing In life! If people want to think
I am a butterfly, why, let them think
so! My friend Miss Hawkes says that
I have two natures—but I don't know
about that!"
She looked up at him to find bls
eyes fixed steadily upon her, and
flushed happily, with a fast-beating
heart.
“With one of those natures I have
nothing to do,” Royal said. “But tho
other I claim as my friend. Come,
how about It? Are we going to be
friends? I am old enough to be your
father, you know; you may tell
Mother that It Is perfectly safe. Will
you give me your hand on It—end your
eyes? Good girl I And now 111 taka
you back to be scolded for running
away from your friends for so long.
I'm dining with Mother tomorrow.
Shall I see you£_ . .
