At the gate of the cottage Aunt met them. “udrey stayed last night with me said Constance, briefly. wire?" . She could read the tragedy Written in her sister's eyes. ‘They went inside and after the maid had left the room Constance said very quietly to Aunt Ella “Audrey has discovered all about the Eros, Ella Aunt E Bervation. “It gould have been better to have told her at first.” Aunt Ella told Audrey of the start- Ing of the Eros; told of her mother's struggles, and her bitter fight to keep the taint of reckless gambling from the club. “But why was—everything—hidden | from me?" asked Audrey when the story ended They knew what she meant by | “everything.” Harkness was cov-| ‘ered by that, as well as the Eros Constance answered the question “Because I was a coward, Audrey. I had wanted you to be untouched by | ail this; I knew you thought me bet- ter than I am; and I was afraid. As for Harkness—I accepted him as a stranger while I thought the thing evér. In the meantime—you know what happened and what he did." ‘The le sounded as truthful as Aunt Ella's story had sounded. Audrey bent her head. “There is nothing more to teil me?" she asked quietly "There can be nothing else, dear, J ‘Yes.’ Aunt Ella was obviously un- ja ventured on a timid ob. kissed Constance gently “Mamma, | am sorry 1 made you unhappy She looked down at Constance for @ moment, saw the tears which swam | in her mother’s eyes, and abruptly turned and went out of the room, he afternoon brought a vishor to| Red Roofs, and he came along in al long, low yellow motor cur, driving alone.

The sarcasm in Constance’s voice left Presiow untouched. "I think it is best that we should Understand one another perfectly in an affair of this sort,” he answered smoothly. > ‘Mou have a wonderful percep- tion," observed Constance. “Does Audrey also understand—pertectly?"* Preslow shook his head. “I have not spoken to Audrey vet,"’ he ad- mitted. “A lot may be done," he said slow- ly, watching the blue smoke spiralling from his cigarette, “by a little judici- ously exercised influence, especially if| that influence is brought to bear by ® mother.’ “Do you real- tempt to order the bestowal of a girl's affections?"* Presiow nodded. "I do. Wkely to spoil everything.

This was the| love Preslow had to offer. A business’ arrangement at first, but now a great affection. Preslow followed up his point. ‘ “It is a better arrangement than— er—the Harkness affair.’ “What do you know of Harkness?” Constance’s tone was hostile. Preslow smiled. ‘'I spent the dve- ning with Audrey yesterday. I learnt one or two things.” ‘Harkness does not enter inte the discussion,’’ said Constance. “I see," murmured Preslow. “It finished?’ “There was some trouble last night,"” answered Constance. “At the Eros?’ Preslow's eyebrows were lifted the slightest bit. “He disgraced himself,"’ said Con- stance shortly. ‘Audrey will not seo him again.” Preslow was highly satisfied. He began to feel on firmer ground. “I shall stand on one side, said Constance slowly. ‘‘I will not at- pt to influence Audrey one way or other.’ ‘I am obliged to you for your prom- ise of neutrality."’ The hardness had vanished from Preslow's eyes. ‘‘It im- plies tacit consent. May I give my- self the pleasure of calling again?” “If you wish.'' There was no en- thusigsm in Constance's voice. Presley took his leave and climbed into his car. CHAPTER XI, ARKNESS took Lois to the Carlton on the following day. He had passed a wo ried night. He met Lois with a nervousness entirely foreign to bis nature, but her first words soon put him at his ease. “['ve had a topping night, and feel fit for anything, Jimmy."
