SYNOPSIS
Following* his father’s bitter criti¬
cism of his idle life, and the with¬
drawal of financial assistance, Hal Ire¬
land, only son of a wealthy banker,
finds himself practically without funds
but with the promise of a situation in
San Francisco, which city he must
reach, from New York, within a defi¬
nite time limit. He takes passage with
* cross-country auto party on a “share
expense" basis. With five other mem¬
bers of the party, an attractive girl,
Barry Trafford; middle-aged Giles
Kerrigan; Sister Anastasia, a nun; and
an individual whom he instinctively
dislikes, Martin. Crack, he starts his
Journey. Barry’s reticence annoys him.
To Kerrigan he takes at once, but he
Is unable to shake off a feeling of un¬
easiness. He distrusts Crack, although
finding his intimacy with Kerrigan
ripening, and he makes a little prog¬
ress with Barry. Through a misunder¬
standing, at. a stopping place, Hal is
directed to Barry's room, instead of his
own.
CHAPTER IV—Continued
—9—
Alarm—-of a curiously profound and
quiet kind—deepened the clarity of
her look as she got up, turning one
band against her breast to bide her
crumpled handkerchief. Her golden
hair was as Hal had hoped: the bur¬
nished vigor of it flowed through full,
deliberate waves to end In a rich
thicket of half-curls, their rioting sim¬
ply disciplined at the edges of her
smoothly modeled cheeks. There was
new, mature loveliness In her straight
young body—under deep-green satin,
fitted to her firm waist, spreading to
a full skirt, and tapered above to her
straight shoulders.
The splendor of what he saw, with¬
out moving Ids look from the deep
alarm of her eyes, seemed to check
the running of his blood In that silent
moment—like the shadow of shock.
And he heard himself say,.very grnve
Tty : "I—I’m sorry. She told me this
was my room. She must have tliortght
. . It wasn't Important enough to
finish In the expectant silence between
them, round them, full In the room.
' “It’s all right,” said Barry, her low
voice coming with Reluctance.
Something made him say, quietly,
respectfully, “I’m sorry you’ve been
crying.”
The nlarm stayed in her eyes—not
a replenished thing, more like n sol¬
emn moment of it fixed there over the
later business of her erect head. She
might not have heard him, except that
her voice said hurriedly, "That’s all
right, too.”
They stood looking at each other,
and new rounds of silence crept close
Into the room. She was waiting for
him to go. Hal knew he must turn
and walk out at the door; and he
must do this Before the slow, strong
force gathering somewhere deep In
him showed Itself in his enchanted
eyes, before If unlocked his resolution,
loosed the warm words that already
stirred at his tongue. It was a race
between his lagging command to still
limbs, that thdy move, and a hot, head¬
less authority careering forward to
take charge of blood and flesh and hurl
mind away, like a dried rag, toward
the morning.
He made his legs move him. And,
slowly, they moved him to her, her
awed watching of his eyes unchanged,
the carriage of her glinting head fear¬
less. His arms slipped round her, un¬
der her own, and as he drew her firm,
satin warmth toward him, her hands
went up to his shoulders and over
them. She made a small sound of
weariness; her eyes closed; her lovely
head turned go that her lips—warm
and under soft his. nnd^uire of grandeur—came
It was probably a dong time they
stood there close together, without
speaking, resting almost as part of
each other in the silence that had
grown enormous around them in the
room. Once Barry took her generous
lips slowly away and pressed her
golden head to his shoulder; but when
he moved Ills mouth along the faintly
fragrant smoothness of her hair, she
turned her lips up again—confident,
grateful, credulous. Only her eyes, be¬
fore they closed, were neither confi¬
dent nor credulous—still held In awe,
'Ley were, still near in the fringes of
alarm.
In the pregnant hugeness that blot¬
ted away the four walls, Hal felt an
excitement of silent rushing—not so
much that they were being flung up¬
ward alone, as that the whole silence
that marooned them there was being
rushed on through surely gathered
speeds toward some explosive, bril
Rant revelation. And as his will to
lose himself In this enormous and im
mlnent beauty flooded toward whole
possession of his senses, one stubborn.
small agent of reason tried more fran
tlcally to make him do what he had
to do. Get out, get out, get out: it
came around across his attention again
end again, fainter and fainter, until
suddenly it took ridiculous command
and his hands went to Barry’s straight,
firm shoulders.
She looked up at once, and the alarm
was eouquered in her courageous eyes.
Quietly and as if to herself, she said,
"You’re pretending. And I am. I’m
not In love with you. I'm not falling
In love with you.”
She took a step backward, and his
hands dropped down to hold hers.
He knew that command of his rea
son was for a moment otift-; the sud
den calm on him now was not to be
trusted, not to be found again if he
let his tongue, his blood, his whole
spirit run out in their hot Importunt
ties.
Their hands slipped apart. He saw
the reluctance of that in her solemn
CLEVELAND COURIER
eyes, and saw that she watched It In
his, too. The sound of his voice was as
If he hadn’t used It for a long while
when, with a short, hampered turning
of his head, he said, "Good G—d, this
is no place to talk about anything.”
He moved to the door, as If he must
leave the best part of himself behind,
with her. He was leaving something,
surely; something sank down out of
him with a slow, mocking glitter, like
a silver plate dropped in a pool. If
this was a decent thing he did, there
was no bravery in It, since he did It
like a fool. The only conscious bravery
he could effect now, with the bolt shot
back and his hand on the doorknob,
was to look at her again. Doctor Cali
gari jumped his forepaws up efti Hal’s
leg; Hal put his hand to the terrier's
woolly head and turned.
She stood there with her chin raised
a little, as if she had just shaken back
tiie full, glinting richness of her hair—
her hands behind her back, one knee
bent so that there was a suggestion of
her straight leg In the sheen of the
satin. The courage of her eyes, watch¬
ing him, was solemn, deep, and darkly
clear; hut that very courage added to
her air of loneliness. The unshielded
light was merciless upon the ill-chos¬
en, worn furnishings around her In
the room. And she stood there—
straight, beyond common loveliness—
and watched him leaving her as If she
were sending him away.
"Good night,” he said, and it sound¬
ed utterly casual.
Her frank lips, which already he
couldn’t believe had been under his,
moved over a “Good night” which he
didn’t hear. lie swung the door open
and went out, down Into the dark
house, past hope of sleep for the con¬
fusion into which his thoughts and
feelings and desires had been so ab¬
ruptly tumbled.
CHAPTER V
Friday
Sleep trapped him as that confusion
had—without warning. And he woke
with a start that nearly slid him off
the horsehair sofa. Fresh sunlight
blazed Into ids face through the fern
hung bow-window, and he wasn’t sure
where he was at all, only that he
was wide awake and filled with a

Kerrigan’s Look Was Amused and
Curious. “Like th# Bottom of a
Stove.”
fine, sourceless joy for the day and
for something that had happened. He
lay happily for a moment while the
circumstances of his being here found
themselves in his head.
First remembering the transport of
Barry’s sheer loveliness in his arms, he
stretched himself luxuriously, a bath of
rich content tingling through his body.
He snapped off his stretehiug suddenly
to look at his watch, but his wide
smile remained. Think of feeling so
well at quarter past five.
But what the dickens had been all
tiie trouble last night? All that mo¬
mentous entanglement with chivalry
and speechlessness, just because the
break had come before he had expect¬
ed it? He had done a very sound
thing; he had saved himself from
a premature enthusiasm that would
have mixed up the rest of the trip a
good deal; but there was nothing so
very momentous about it. It was
enough for one evening to see her de¬
fenses go down; her trust of him,
taken slowly, would he more certain.
Five more days coming, at least; It
would have been very disappointing to
forget the job of chastisement he had
to do—go off the deep end at the firs;
drop of the hat that way. Yet there
he’d been so off bis guard as to make
emotional difficulties about leaving her
room, as barely to hold himself from
charging In against that remark of hers
about not loving him. And outside her
room, even, the sudden, restive creak¬
ing of an old house in the dark
had. . . .
He got to his feet and breathed deep¬
ly, as if the contained, dusty air of
the room were that of a mountain pas¬
ture in spring. Somewhere in the up¬
per regions an alarm clock went off
into its persistent rattle, and there
was distant, occasional bumping to stir
the slumber of the house. When he
came back to the hall he found Kerri¬
gan fumbling at the chains and bolts
of the great front door.
“Well, sir—of all people,” said Ker¬
rigan, hi# ruddy, well-scrubbed face
held by quiet concern. “A good morn¬
ing to you. Thought you were lost—
probably been locked out"
“I got In late,” said Hal, feeling his
blandness penetrated by that brown,
scholarly look. “She showed me the
wrong room; so I slept in there."
“You slept In there?” Kerrigan said
curiously.
“Yes,” said Hal quickly. “Why?"
“Then that can’t be the room the
trains run through," said Kerrigan,
gratified. “Must be the kitchen.
Didn’t you hear ’em?”
“No,” said Hal, laughing.
“Let me tell you if every traln’t
charged through here was hauliDg pay
load, stocks are a buy at any price.
Gad, sir, they were on five-minute
headway all night and on their way
somewhere. Only trouble, they wasted
a lot of steam whistling for the pantry
door. If I slept here once more, I
could get a dispatcher’s job on the
division. I only missed the number
on one train: that was because I
was scared his backwash was going
to suck the bedclothes off me. And
you slept.” A twinkle grew behind
the false moroseness of the brown
eyes. “Whose room did she try to
stick you in?”
“I don’t know,” said Hal. “Didn’t
wait to find out.”
Kerrigan watched him an extra in¬
stant, then dismissed the last of his
concern. “How’s your body?” he said.
“Fine,” said Hal. “Gosh—well, fine,
as I said. How’s yours?”
Kerrigan’s look was amused and
curious. “Like the bottom of a stove.”
“And that’s how?”
“Grate,” said Kerrigan. “Come on,
let’s go out and have a snort of the
ay cm.”
Hal was up on the widow’s walk
stowing luggage when Barry come out
the door—refreshed, immaculate, fully
awake. He watched her look into the
new morning, draw a breath of It, then
turn and say something smiling and
quiet to Sister Anastasia, the rich
slick of gold under her hat-brim
gloaming. She didn’t look for him nor
show any trace of consciousness that
lie might be there, and Hal smiled to
himself as he drew an end of tiie
lashing round the rail.
He stayed on the roof purposely
until she should get in. She came
toward the car without looking up;
and when she was close under him at
the door, he said, “Hello there,” in
low pleasure. She glanced at him
then, as if she had to see him before
she knew who had spoken. “Hello,”
she said pleasantly, echoed nothing
hut the same pleasant hello. Then
she got in.
Even ns his smile widened, Hal’s
memory hurried back to last night t.>
make certain there was nothing he’d
overlooked. It was she who’d made
it so serious, her eyes held In nlarm,
her head carried as if there were
something to be brave about. Well
said Hal to himself, ignoring a cer
tain Ineonelusion about it; I can pro
tend nothing’s happened, too; but you
can't make it a fact by pretending, my
beauty.
He was about to vault down from
the roof when something drew his
eyes to the high stoop. Crack stood
there, drowsing in his amiable half¬
dream of something satisfactory and
private as he hoped for Hal’s look.
The golf ball gave a short leap from
his Idle hand and fell back into it.
“Morning,” said Hal, and swung
himself to the ground.
“Mornln’,” said Crack quietly. "Sleep
good?"
“Fine, thanks,” said Hal. “You?”
“Fine, thanks,” said Crack.
Listen, d—n it, Hal charged him¬
self: there's no special meaning ir
that tone of his; it's just his way of
saying things. “Good,” lie said aloud
without looking at Crack. If the mar
did know already by ills own devices
that Hal hadn’t slept in a bed, what
was there in it to amuse him so shyly?
ft • * * * * #
The river beside the road was flat
and leisurely: leisure in tiie slow little
veins and eddies that slid under the
overhanging weeds of tiie hank and lei
sure in the tall trees that stood still !
above their own unfocused reflections.
They had run along some twenty
smooth miles when Barry's voice came
low, slow, sure, and Hal listened to
the measures of it without especially
heeding the words. She said, “That
sign said ten miles to Logansport;
that might be the very place for break- !
fast.”
Hal thought of her as he had left
her last night, head up, hands behind
her back, one satin leg a little bent;
and he remembered suddenly that she
had been crying when he came in. The
memory pricked him—like tiie quick
recollection of a promised kindness
which it is too late to perform. He
pressed the accelerator nearer the
floor—possessed by a tentative hurry
to see If her expression was clear of
the remembered loneliness, to make
sure she had nothing to do with the
uncertainly hushed sense of something
ill that had seemed to travel with
them.
They drew up before the shining
white-tile lunchroom toward which
Mrs. Pulsipher had thrown a yelp of
hungry approval, and Hal slid out to
stand by the door. Barry leaned for¬
ward to get up, and Doctor Caligari,
held in the crook of her arm. was
brought closer to Crack for a moment
than he seemed to like; he bared his
teeth over an ugly, rising grpwl.
“Doc!” she said In quick censure. Hal
took the dog from her. And when he
met her eyes, they had in them the
hurried end of last night's solemn
alarm.
D—n It, I don’t want her to take
back what she said, Hal told himself
inside his closed mouth: I don't want
her to be in love with me. All I want
