GO ON WITH THE STORY She said swiftly, as though she were stirred, “Oh, Marko, yes, that's mysterjous. Do you know somectimes I've seen drift like that, and I've felt—oh, T don't know, But I've put out a stick and drawn in a piece of wood just as the stuff was moving off, just to save it being carried away into well, into that, you know."” “Have you, Nona?" She answered, “Do you think that's what life is, Marko “It's not unlike,” he said. added “[xcept about ing along with a stick and drawing a bit into safety., I'm not sure about that. Perhaps that's what we're all looking for——" He suddenly realized back precisely at the thoughts his mind had taken up on the morning he had met her. But with a degree more of illumination. Two feelings cume into his mind, the second hard upon the other and overriding it, as a fierce horseman might catch and override one pursued. He said, “It's rather jolly to have someone that can sec ideas like that. And then the overriding, and he said with astonish- ing roughness, “But you-——you aren't flotsam!

Her fond, her almost tender sympathy made him, too, feel that it was rather fine. Her light Wwords in her high, clear tone voiced exactly his feelings towards the books, Talking with her w the recep- tion and return of his thoughts, near- er to reading a book that delighted him than to anything else with which he could compare it.

And all probably originated by a lot of Mother undy- ish old women, that's what's so ex- traordinar; You know, if all the greatest legal minds of all the ages had laid themselves out to make a sociay code they could never have got anywhere near the rules the people have built up for themselves. And that's what I like, Nona—that's what I think so interesting and the best thing in life: the things the people do for themselves without any state interference.

It gets red under- neath, Marko, and the red slowly comes up. Funny old face! Go on. 1 want to hear this hecause I'm going to disagree with you, I think. I think conventions, most of them, are odious, hateful, Marko. I hate them.” He had been strangely affected by the words of her interruptions: a contraction in the throat—a twitch- ing about the eyes . But he was able, and glad that he was able to catch cagerly at her opinion. *Yes, ves, 1 know, odious, hateful, and much more than that, cruel—conven- tions can be as cruel, as cruel as hell. I was just coming to that. But they're all absolutely rightly based, Nona. That's the baffling and the maddening part of them. That's what interests me in them.” “Look at this stuff there’s heen in the papers lately about what they call the problem of the unmarried moth- Now there's a brute of a case for you: a girl gets into trouble and while she sticks to her baby made an outcast; every door to her; her own people will have nothing to do with her; no one will take her in—so long as she's got the baby with her. That's convention uil you can imagine cases where it's cruel beyond words, But it's no good cursing society about it. You can't Lelp seeing t the convention is fundamentally right and essential. Where on carth would you be if girls with babies could find homes as casi- ly as girls without babics?" He smiled. “Youwd have babics pouring out all over the place. See it?" She nodded. “I do think that's in teresting, Marko, Yes, cruel and hateful and preposterous, many of them, but all fundamentally right.” Presently she said, “Yes, you do still think things, Marko. You haven't changed a bit, you know.” He smiled. “Oh, well, it's only two ars, you know-—less than two ycars since you went away “1 wasn't thinking of {wo years.” “How many years were you think- ing of?" “Ten They or; just sat there, VI The insistent shricking of a iren in the streot below began penetrate their silence. “What devil's that?"” An extravagantly long was drawn against the curh. in a dust coat and a ol hat silver gra sat in the seat.
