Mary had that morning venture¢® to open the subject, discussed so freely last night, only to fad her- self snubbed for her pains, as her | mother absolutely refused an- swer questions. What Mary did not know was that her mother's attitude had been aggravated by an early morning message to the effect that a Mr. Carter wished to speak to her on the telephone. Ned had arrived in town at an hour too late for a casual acquaint- ance to call or teleplione, and this morning the hotel operator had called Mrs. Johnston instead of Miss Johnston. Mrs. Johnston was very gracious when she understood who was speaking. She was giad that he was: in town, and quite willing to take any message for Miss John- « ston, who had gone out. No, Mra. Jotinston could not tell when her daughter would return to the ho- tel. Mary was with some dear | triends, who might only part with her when they brought her to thé steamer in time for sailing.

In ‘the back of her mind, when ; she was honest with herself, Polly knew that the fear was not that Mary would marry, or leave her, “but that Mary would marry some ! one of whom she, Polly, did not ap- prove, and who would like, and side with, Claude Dabbs. It was Claude Dabbs’ shadow that darkened the sky for Polisgh What power could Claude have over her, unless she chose to give him that power? The answer al- ways mocked her. She was afraid of Claude Dabbs because she had treated him unfairly, and she had always been afraid of bim because of Mary. It had been because of that fear she had lived abroad with the child for so many years, As Mary grew older and there was no sign from Claude, she had grown bulder and roamed freely about America, until like a fool she had carelessly blundered into his very stronghold. In her mind’s eye she pictured Claude as a great, fat, middle-aged man, She knew that she was only drawing on her imagination, and ® that Mary, who had seen him, did not seem to have been physically repelled. Polly would, of course, expire by slow torture before she asked Mary what he looked Itke.
