But chiefly he was restless. which had taken him to sea on Jeay- ing school, had never left him, He had left the sea. That, he now be- lieved, had been a mistake. was in his blood. Even where his horizon was bounded by terraces of dull brick and sooty trees, his nos- trils ever quivered questioningly whenever the wind blew from the eastward. To the eastward lay the muddy river, and the docks, and the ships; ships and the ports where Ro-| mance still beckoned to bold youth. He stood awhile at the gateway of his house, nostrils all a-tingle, his black eyes a glitter, a discordant grin of discontent marring the good- humored lines of his strong mouth. He had come from golf, ang there was a trace of contempt in the fash- ion of his unslinging and dropping the bag of clubs he carried. The big house which he called home was one of those stately old places which always seems to have had owners provided for them as they were built, stone by stone, tim- ber by timber; owners to fit their dignity, growing, maturing as the years mellowed them. And Alden Drake had the looks and the dignity to fit smoothly into the groove worn so unbrokenly by his immediate for- bears. Trouble was, they failed to fit him. In externals he was part of the picture. His face was brown and clean shaven, his hands were brown and well kept, his golf tog- gery was brown and of fine tailorin; and all appeared in exquisite har- |mony with the fine old house within But there was that glitter that vague something which jarfed the the gate. in his eyes, about his mouth harmony. He turned in and flung the gate to with a harsh iron clang which of fat horses just trotting past dragging an old-fash- loned low chaise. Tho discontent fied from his face, giving way to a genuine smile of amusement. Those horses looked as if nothing short of a cataclysm could startle thetn, so fat were they, and so staid, He realized how tretnendous!y he must WATERS The urge, | The sea} Co gt) Qrstaved ING. | have slammed the gate to startle them, for they regained their steadi- ness in a moment, trotting placidly on, It was one of the two occupants whose tranquility was less easily ree | stored, and the innocent offender raised his eyebrows surprisedly at the turbulent flood of deep water expletives that issued from some. | where in the thick gray beard of a sturdy, copper-bronzed gentleman of nautical aspect. Alden was about to raise his voice in apology; he raised his cap instead, and stared with sharper interest at the other occu- | pant of the chaise, the driver, who her horses again tn hand, turned a fair face full of haughty reproof upon the cause of her brief discom- fort. Then the equipage turned the corner of the road, and Alden went fn. As he bathed and lounged, smoking a rich old briar pipe, relic of his *prentice days at sea, he scowled im. patiently at the thought of the eve. ning before him. His duty to se- city ordered that he play host to a ponderous dinner party. “There'll be Patty, all set to*flirt,* he growled, “Caesar! How I hate that perfume she drenches hersetf with! Bilge! Phah! She'll call me Alden, dear! Oh Lord! And that cuta little trick, Celeste. Thirty-eight, if she's a day. Wonder she doesn't go up in smoke every time she lights a cigaret. Talk about putting a match near powder Scissors! And the old hens, whose chicks are just getting old enough to be flown at my head— Suffering sailor! Why should I put up with it? A lot of birds of prey! Damn women, anyhow! The youthful cynic knocked his pipe, refilled it, and flung him- self into a deep lounge chair to smoke another round before his man came to fix him up for the evening. The second pipe always made him see a gleam of sunshine behind the stormiest of horizons. There flashed | before him now the thought of an indignant feminine face, the prettily angry face of the girl who drove those two fat, lazy horses. He smiled more brightly. That face had only flashed across his vision for an in- stant, yet he retained a more vivid notion of its graces than close uc (Turn to Page 2, Column 4)
