By Kathleen Norris om0 by M At N Al b OWEVER, when the glowing April afternoon came, she drove down duly to the farm, with a trunk- tiful frocks, and with an escort to give her counte- nance, Joe Pond, Stan's closest man friend, a quict listener in almost all gatherings, a widower with a little girl, and as enthusiastic a player of tenn! golf, and polo as Stan was himself. Stanley 1f had driven down from fown earlier in the afternoon and was comfortable in his old tweeds, as he came out to meet them. He and Chung selzed suit cases. hardily; there was t shouting and laughing as the tors were made welcome to the farm. But it was all spolled for Shirley, be- eause she instantly noted that Margaret as hostess in everything but actual, Bame. It was Margaret who said cordially, *We've put you in the room you had It was Margaret who troduced, decided, managed. In vain Shirley tried to ruffie her; Margaret was serene. She was evidently adored by the cousins; a ruddy, silver headed oid country doctor and his mild, fat, amused old wife. Mrs. Peters was evidently a little impressed by the visitor's manners, poise and animation, but the doctor possessed the shrewd judgment won by some 40 years of Wfl:e among human beings, and Shir- 's charms gained almost no response from him. Margaret, on the other hand, was 8 |, He treated her much as he would a daughter. And Stan, Shirley decided resentfully, acted toward the girl as if she were actually his wife. She supposed that there was an under- standing between Margarct and Stan; she had suspected his attachment long 8go; it was quite the natural thing. When Margaret took her to her bed goom Shirley spoke of New York, the gfie shops near the Avenue, in the tles and Fiftles; she showed Mar- t a little present she had brought or Stan. “Dearest fellow in the world!” she said of him. And as Margaret did not speak, she stopped rummaging in her ba1 and looked at the other woman in well simulated surprise. “Don’t you think he's a fascinating person?” she d. “Indeed he is!” Margaret sald, with her bright smile. Shirley eyed her discontentedly. “I suppose you two are going to have some news for us, one of these days?” she said, suggestively. be jealous,” she added, good humoredly. “I shall never feel to any one in the world what I feel for Stan Crittenden.

She smiled in the soft darkness of the Spring night. Why not? she mused. She herself would be on her way east a week from today—the probability of her marrying Stan was extremely remote. Yet the possibility was still there. But at least it shouldn't be all smooth sailing for Margaret Yorke, “I won't say that anything's wrong; I won't even say that I think anything's wrong,” she decided. “But I shall sim- ply hint-that Stan admires her tre- mendously—for all I know,” Shirley as- sured herself, bridling, “it is true. I don’t know an; g to the contrary!” “I'm still in lJove with that man,” she “I'm still in love with Stan Crittenden.” And Shirley EIM. to remember the feeling of his big arms about her, the touch of his kisses. “Lord, what fun a woman could have with Stan, running down to Honolulu!" she reflected. “Del Monte for the tour- naments, or a little bungalow at Pebble ;Beach; he's always so stunning in any rig, and that silly, easy line of talk of his makes every one love him, and makes any kind of party go!” “And not for the first time she thought of herself with Cuyler’s money, and with Stan for her husband. “If only he doesn’t marry this er:t:d girl in the meantime,” Shirley So the following day, at breakfast, Shirley announced that she was not going to drive into town with Stan, she wanted to stay another night and really rest. Stanley, who was needed for a few hours at the office, was secretly re- lieved to be spared the long tete-a-tete of a drive into town.

Shirley followed Stan to the low car and stood chatting with him beside it. “You don't know what this means to me, Stan, honestly,” she said, smiling and blinking with a little emotion. “To be down here—it's just wonderful.
