Ellen went on to her «wn room
To find . Gibbs _... flung . across the bed In
. *r one sometime* of the heavy naps with which
e recruited his forces
for the evening** demands He
lay“tt*ere• r«^ed over blinking when she came In, and
tween ni)d staring be
yawns at the celling.
"Time Is It?” he asked presently
and ‘T>—m when she told o’clock him he added’
a seven dinner any
way ! My head feels rotten !*>
<4 You smoke too much!” Ellen
suggested dispassionately.
He himself had often admitted
it, and alio admitted that he could
not drink as steadily as the other
men. But he scowled at this re
minder. The truth was that late
hours, rich food, hot weather al
coholic stimulants, and the -unnat
ural life they were leading were
bad for them both, and any pre
text would serve In these days for
a quarrel.
“Where’s Torn?” Gibbs now
asked. Ellen knew that be knew,
and that he had deliberately select
ed criticism a question of tver that wmlld "imply a
management.
“Joe’s coming over :to dinner,
Gibbs, with tbe'Lathrops. And he
isn’t to dress, you know, for they’ve
been out In the boat all afternoon.
So I said uot to bother to get Tom
my home before seven,- lie can have
a simple dinner and xpop into bed
as so«v as fee gets here."
Gibbs was now sitting on the
edge of the bed with his silver hair
in a mop over his flushed face, and
his head in his hands.
“I must say I don’t approve of
this constant upsetting of Turn’s
routine!" he Observed.
Ellen, now at her dressing table,
with the stiff dines of a silk robe
falling about 'her, 'flushed in her
turn.
‘‘Last Eigiht you kept him up until
quarter of eight," - she answered
lightly. Site scored here, for Lillian
had had friends for a late dinner
the day before and had captured
Tommy, and made him bring down
his violin. The child had been re
luctant to play the simple little airs
he knew, and Gibbs’ paternal au
thority bad been needed, and the
threat of a Whipping. Ellen had
been excruciatingly uncomfortable
during this scene, and had pres
ently escaped with Tommy upstairs,
almost as near tears as the child
was.
"You simply said that to be
nasty,” Gibbs remarked with some
heat. “Yon know the child is out
too late, yen know that no sensible
mother would allow a child of six
to go off in a yacht, and yet you
deliberately permit—”
“There wns nothing deliberate
about it, Gibbs! Tommy and I went
over to see Aunt Elsie this morn
ing, in the srinfll car. And Joe was
home, and asked to keep him. You
know perfectly well—
I know perfectly well that any
crazy thing that Joe proposes ap
peals to yon! Anything to show
me how absolutely Indifferent you
are to my wishes!" Gibbs’ tone
was bitter; he walked to his dress
er. and gloomily 'began to jerk open
the drawers. Ellen, frightened, be
gan to feel that their idle anger
had carried them too far.
“Gibbs, don't talk like that!” she
said, in a changed tone, a tone
more distressed than angry. Ordi
narily, the faint indication of a de
sire to conciliate would have soft
ened Gibbs, but he was still in the
prickly discomfort of, awakening
after a daytime sleep, and he an
swered bitterly •
.. Oh, don’t let anything I sav
count! I’m not Joe, of course!”
And as Ellen was silent, with hurt
tears In her eyes, he added grump
ily: “If George Lathrop wants Joe
for a son-in-law, just because his
daughter has set her heart-on him
and If you want to see your broth
• er every day. and three times a
• day—well and good! All I say
vis: I’m done'"
“It’s Lillian that has set • von
•against Joe!” Ellen burst "out
-augrily.v.....‘.‘i.-knaw—gbe- wity—she
•talks about him, In that pleasant,
amused voice of hers! She’s made
you think he was count rytied and
«h»pid and slow just because lie’s
mever fallen In love with her—”
“That’s enough!’’ Gibl>s said, in
a etern voice. Ellen, even, as she
spoke, had had a feeling that it
wns more than enough. She
stopped speaking, ashamed and
; sulky, and went on with her hair
dressing. There was a silence In
the room for perhaps two minutes,
and then Gibbs added with cold
disapproval: “After all Lillian has
done for you—treating you atiso
\ Mutely tike a sister—”
Then again there was a pause,
•broken this time by the entry of
Joe and Tommy from the nursery
through (be bathroom. Joe was In
white flannels, and looked his best.
He-was burned brown by the nft
ernoon on tbe water, and there was
.a pleasant new gravity and
thoughtfulness in his manner that
Klien liked. She had noticed it
before today, but just now it
aeemed especially marked.
Tommy had hnd supper on the
yacht, It appeared. He was theoret
ically anxious to be allowed to stay
up, actually his tired, sunburned
little lids were falling over ids
eyes. Ellen welcomed her little
brother almost as warmly n8 S be
did her sou. She put her arm*
■boat Joe’s neck, and the sirs
tfKSrves slipped up to shoulders.
She knew Gibbs particularly re
sented Joe’s manner of coming and
going informally to and from their
rooms, but she could not be unkind
to Joe 'to please Gibb*.
“If you don’t mind, Joe—Ellon
and I are dressing,” Gibbs punished
her by saying icily, Joe, Instantly
apologetic, Withdrew, The Josse
lyns did not speak ; to each other
for the remainder of the period of
dressing, nor, except when It was
unavoidable, for several days.
CHAPTER VII
OTBBS had set up bis easel in
'J his father’s study, and was
keeping his hand in, as he ex
pressed It, by making a pastel
sketch of Josselyn. Senior, The
study was a small room so cun
ningly , ,, concealed by the mazes of
the house that the occupant might
be sure of privacy whenever he
destre’d it there.
Ellen loved this room, and some
tlnxw spent a happy evening here,
if Gtbbs were kept in town liy any
especial affair at the club, play
ing crlbbage with her father-in-law.
Lillian, drowsing beside the fire,
would listen half-smiling to their
war 6f words and points, open her
book, and shut It Idly again. She
wonld be quite frankly bored on
these occasions, but Ellen loved the
quiet and peace, and suspected
that ’ the old man was never so
happy as in this environment.
It was his whim never to allow
strangers in this room. Ellen, with
his permission, had taken Joe there.
and marveled with him over its
various contents. Tommy was a
privileged visitor, and came and
went with royal contempt for re
strirtion. He deeply amused his
grandfather by calling It “our
rooni,” indeed all the "Vllllno dell*
Ort'o” was to Tommy now "my
house."
There was no formal recnncllla
tlon between Gibbs and his wjf*
but after a few days they began
to speak to eacii other again. The
breach did not entirely heal, how
ever, and Ellen felt a change In
their relationship from that day.
Gibbs went to the city three or
four times a week. Sometimes Ellen
went with him, and they hunted
for a studio together. But the old
spirit of comradeship seemed gone.
He came back from town one day
and announced that he had found
his atelier, describing a place that
sounded near enough to his ideal.
But Ellen’s heart turned to lead
as she heard him. It was not to
be a home—just a workshop 1 His
home life was still to be here. ‘It
with was on Fifty-ninth street, flooded
north light, one enormous
room, one tiny room, and a bath,
and the rent was twelve hundred
a year.
And janitor service Included, W
Lillian added unthinkingly. Ellen
and Josselyn, Senior, looked at her
In surprise, for her tone was not
that of question, • I I suppose?” she
said, quickly glancing at Gibbs, and
Ellen saw her color rise. Instant
ly she knew, with a shock of al
most prostrating Jealousy, that Lil
lian had seen the studio. The older
woman had been In town all day,
and had picked up Gibbs at the
club to bring him home. They had
done this before—there was no
ham in that—

Gibbs, l «shl Ellen then, from, a
bursting heart. “Did you (take LIl
Ann to see ttoe studio? *«
She knew him so well; she could
see the irresolsnion in Ids eyes. De
nial?—no, he would not Ue un
necessarily to feer.
“Yes, I did,” tee said reluctantly.
If she knew him (.well, he knew her,
too. He had been watching Ellen
uneasily all evening, he was ready
for this. “Yes," te went on inno
cently. “Do you mind? She came
for me at the club, At four, and we
had to go right up %ito that neigh
borhood—I’m sorry If you mind?"
‘*If you thought I wouldn’t mind,
why didn’t you say so straight
out?" Ellen demanded. She thought
she had him, but Gtttfes, hanging
his tie on the rack, merely looked
thoughtful.
"If I tell you, will yon please
not mention It?” he surprised her
by asking. “It’s this: dad bates
her to go anywhere with nny other
mnn, eves with me. He’s perfect
ly decent ahout it In public, and
he gives her the deuce In private!
He was to be with us today, you
know, or she never would have
come for me at ail—she’s awfully
sweet about it, and ns usual, she
humors him!”
"She’*—clever!” Ellen said brief
ly. If Gibb* did not like t^l*
enigmatic answer, he gave n<> In
dication of displeasure beyond a
faint scowl. He was presently
sound asleep, with no further ref
erence to the matter.
But Ellen, twisted wttli wretched
thoughts, lay awake for hours At
first she mused only upon tlie bit
terness of the simple fact: Gibbs
had selected a studio without any
appeal to the judgment of his wife.
Ah, how different that was from
the choosing of the last studio, the
blessed little apartment on
"Madame la Montaigne” j she had
been on his arm then, exclaiming
over rents, dimpling on the dark
stairs they climbed and climbed
and climbed after the concierges!
How they had exulted over the
boxes from home, over the placing
of every chair and rug, and how
they had sallied forth, hungry and
tired, to be fed and soothed and
amused by the city of romance and
beauty!
These thoughts were sad enough,
and tears began to creep down
Ellen's cheeks, and her head to
ache with her effort* at self-con
trol. But presently a fresh thought
came, and the tear* dried, and El
len's heart began to beat hard again
with agony and fear.
Lillian had gone Into town the
night before. Tuesday night, to
dine and spend the night with
friends, and Gibb* and hi* father
were to 'thlte the oar hi, on Yfrrtn-—
day morning and meet her for
lunch. EUen had been originally
Included In tills plan, but had ex
cused herself because Tommy’*
nurse was not well, and Ids mother
was enjoying a monopoly of his
care for a few days. And on
Wednesday morning Josselyn,
Senior, had asked Gibbs to go to
the city without him, he had realty
preferred the idle country day with
Ellen and Tommy. He had tele
phoned Lillian at her friend’s ho
tel‘that Gibbs had the car, If sire
wanted It she was to telephone
Gibbs at the club. Now Ellen
writhed with the sudden convie
tlen that they had met In the
morning, lunched together, and
hunted for studios all afternoon,
She dare(5 not ask him; It was
t0 ask him to confess to a lie.
More than'that. It was to kill her
confidence In him nt one'blow. But
Ellen never knew a moment’s ease
aJter tf iat. she lo °ked at'Lillian’s
beautiful, sphinxlike face the next
(lay ’ valnl >’ trying to read it. Her
heart began to beat suffocatingly
when her father-in-law chanced to
ask his wife, at luncheon, how she

5t mere accident tiiat took'Lillian’s
s P'cn<lid eyes to Gibbs’ before she
answered? She had shopped with
MUdred, and had sent her off at
one o’clock, and had had a sort of
'luncheon-tea all by herself,
”You should have come straight
home; that was a tiring visit,” the
0,(5 man sal(5 - Lillian smiled at
him affectionately for her only an
swer. Ellen felt that she never
appreciated the safety and the
power of silence.
“You had no troubtb getting hold
°f the car?” Josselyn, Senior, pur
sued suddenly.
“No.” Again she glanced at
Gibbs, again was silent. Gibbs was
the next speaker, with a cheerful
and general inquiry:
“Who’s doing what this after
noon?’’
The studio was formally opened
in September, with a tea. The
artist's pretty, blue-e.ved little wife
was present on this occasion, suit
ably, nay, charmingly, dressed,
chatting with neglected guests,
keeping a watchful eye upon tea
cups, playing her part well. His
father wns also there, a handsome
and dignified figure, erect, white
haired, obviously full of pride in
his son. And the little, dark-hatred
boy was there, for a few minutes,
keeping close to the musicians.
amusing the ladies with ids pretty
French.
But It wns his beautiful young
•stepmother who shared with Gibbs
Josselyn the interest of his guests,
who was With him the romantic
and fascinating center of attrac
tion. Lillian was at her loveliest,
radiant and smiling, the mysteri
ous and astonishing perfection of
her face enhanced by the .Tuliet
like little pap of pearls that held
her glorious hair in place, and by
the rich colors of her gown. She
wore a man-elous garment of old
brocade, in which fruity colors were
mingled with gold and silver
threads, and from her shoulders a
filmy black overgarment floated
loose, caught with a bracelet of
pearls at either wrist, and weighted
loosely at Its hem bv dull em
broideries In pearls. Lillian said
that she had ha,d this robe for
years without an opportunity to
wear it; (his was her opportunity,
and she made the most of it. Any
thing more lovely than the picture
she made In It, even heartsick El
len had to admit she could not Im
agine.
Wherever Lillian mover}, the
crowd swayed with her, and in It
was always the silver head, and the
tall, trimly built figure *'~r~
of the hour. Her rich, amused
• voice. with Its undercurrents of
mystery, of suggestion, was the
foundation of the conversation.
And when she turned to Gibbs, MS
she was constantly turning, and
asked him a simple question and
received his answering monosyl
lable, it would have been an ob
tuse observer indeed who did not
Instantly perceive the thrilling eur
rent of awakening passion that run

At the end of the long three hours,
when the guests had lingered <vwt,
one by one and she stood by the
fireplace, tired, drooping, superb,
barely raising her eyes ns she
stake to him, they might have been
atone In the world. What did he
say ns he bent toward her, wlmt
did Ids smiling eyes say?
Ellen did not know, or care. The
words were nothing, The look was
nothing. It wns the trembling In

Searching for a

By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD
“Who is that man turning in nt

curiously from her rocking ebuir
by the window.
Aunt Harriet peered out through
the rutiled, curtains. “Oh, shucks,
I do believe it is that crazy dealer
who Is After my kitchen table. He
pesters Uie life out of me. Al

door.
“Good morning, Mrs. Bemls.

“No, I haven’t,” said Aunt Har
riet shortly. “As I’ve told you be
fore, It belonged to my great-aunt
Mnria, who died ever la Lewiston
and I’m fond of It."
“Offering a good price today,
Mrs. Bwrits. Seventy-five dollars,”
he urged seductively.
“Can’t help it,” «nid Aunt Har
rlet. ‘Til keep It a while longer.”
When he had left LoU lifted the
cloth and examined The table be

an antique to me,” she said. “But
I’m not up on sudh tilings. Jimmy

‘'Oh, never mind him,” laughed

need the money I'll sell. If
I can get $75 from this fellow I can
get $80 from somebody else. Looks
to'me like a plain ordinary kitchen
table, but yon never can tell.
’But that evening when her Jimmy
came Lois showed him the table.
He regarded it 'quizzically, “There’s
some joke about It,” he said at
length. "That table Isn’t worth
anything."
"Then you don’t know as much as
I thought you did!” flared Lois.
11 That Is a rare piece of furniture.
A man offered my aunt $75 today
for It, and she refused him.”
Jimmy tapped hts temple sug
gestively. "Both of ’em,” he sain
with unmistukable meaning, “and
you, too, If you believe It. Come
now, Lois, you’re kidding me or
letting them kid you."
Now lovers’ quarrels have begun
over far less trivial tilings than a
kitchen table, much less one that
had at least a tentative value of
seventy-five dollars. Before either
realized how they had arrived at so
sad a destination they had reaped
a grave misunderstanding, to put it
mildly. Jim had departed In wrath
and Lois had dissolved In tears.
Aunt Harriet learned all about It
the next morning. She reflected for
a moment, then spoke with decision.
“I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” she said.
“And it will satisfy my < vn curios
ity. I’ll find out what other deal
ers will give me."
Seven dealers looked at the table
in the course of the day and their
verdict was unanimous. "A plain
ordinary kitchen table. The man
was crazy.”
And Aunt Harriet and her niece
decided so, too, when they searched
the telephone book as well as the
entire directory up at the corner
store without finding listed any
Wooster Jasper Soldan with a store un

A moment later she and Lois
watched great-aunt Maria’s table
being hoisted into a wagon.
Lois called .Timmy Immediately.
Oh, Jimmy, I’m sorry we quar
reled. And we sold the table. Yes,
for $80. TO that Soldan fellow. He
Is just carting it away.”
Jimmy came up that evening. He
had a few satisfactory moments
alone with Lois first, then Aunt
Harriet came in and he heard the
table story all over again.
I-Ie listened amusedly, A clear
profit of $80 is not bad for a day’s
work," l>e admitted. Then his ex
pression changed to one of gravity.
“Don’t, however, delude yourself,”
he sai<b “Into thinking that there
was anything Intrinsically valuable
about that old table. Your common
sense and seven dealers told you
that. The facts of the case are
these” (he paused and placed to
gether the tips of his fingers):
"Your great-aunt Marla left u will

never seen, One by one, he has
been tracing nil your great-aunt’s
furniture, if you never hear from
him yon will know he never found
the will but gambled the $80 and
lost!”
Lois, who had been sitting breath
less on the edge of her chair, fairly
gasped. “How did you find out all
this. Jimmy?"
Jimmy shrugged his shoulders.
“Oh. it Is the business of a lawyer
to unravel such mysteries," he said
gravely.
But between yon and me and the
