Murillo's tyhanny and insolence cause her to write to Judith Moore, a San Francisco cousin, for help in escaping her marital bondage, but Judith is absent on a long vacation. A son is bom, dying almost immediately. In unutterable loneliness, Sandy appeals to her Uncle Bob, who enables her to take a Honolulu trip with her mother.

She wished to tell him it was lovely. Let them go on and on. He said, hoarsely, ‘‘Are you all right, Sandy?” “Oh, yes.” “Why in the world did you go out so far? It was the merest chance I saw you.” She laughed faintly, her thought in a golden daze. She was drowning. He had brought her back. He was holding her, pouring on her face a look of anguish and longing. She sank in it happily. “Another moment, Sandy, I would have been too late.” A tremor shot from his voice to his face. He let her down gently. “Can you walk?” “Yes.” She felt like shouting, “I can do anything!” Her mind was filled with light, with voices singing. * * * . _ J HEN he left her at the hotel that night she said gaily: “I'm so glad it was you, Ramon, so glad it was you, Ramon.” He looked at her quietly, the sunny eyes intent, a little fevered. “Wby.

knee and smoked musingly. She appraised the bronzed profile, pleasing despite its irregularity. The eyebrows were tan, like his hair. They were thick and unruly, giving to the sunny eyes a look of careless tolerance. His chin was too short; but one forgot this because of the vital jaw and even, sparkling teeth. “Ramon.” she said capriciously; “how is it such a charming fellow as yourself has never married?” “When I had the incliAatlon, I hadn’t the money. Now that I’ve a little cash, I’ve lost the inclination.” “Would you like to find it againfV “No. Life’s pleasant as it is. ! Sometimes I think marriage is immoral.” “Why?” “It binds people to their mistakes.” / “Oh, not today!” “Yes, today. Thousands of couples keep on living together; defrauding and crippling each other because they haven’t the courage to break loose. Separated they might both be fine harmless atoms; joined they’re a poison. They think it honorable to doom each other.” Sandy colored, wondering if he were thinking of her. She said hastily: “AH marriages aren't mistakes. You might be one of the lucky ones. You might find a great love.” He turned to her slowly. Their eyes met. “I'm not sure that I want it, Sandy. Great loves are always devastating. It’s the little loves that bring us joy. They come with a laugh and they leave without a tear.” Her lashes dropped. She looked out to the water, pensive, uneasy. mN his turn he studied her — the long delicate sweep from her throat to the hands clasped in her lap; the pallor of her beautiful features. A line of freckles went along the bridge of her nose and lightly under her eyes. They gave her a piquant look. He felt the tempest and fire behind the Imperious tilt of her chin, the shadowed and often smoldering eyes. The thought of this hidden flame ran in a little heat along his nerves ....brought a sudden, dark color sweeping up under the bronze of his skin. The exultance he had felt last night holding her in his arms; the deadly fear when she lay so quiet; the sudden intensity of joy when she opened her eyes, her lips smil-

ing—all this now made him cautious. He had no wish to he carried off his feet by Sandy's charm. He felt quite equal to ending a flirtation the moment It became too serious. He told himself this, yet he moved toward her, a stealthy, flushed vlbrance in his pulse. “Sandy, why were you so glad it was I last night?" “Well, weren’t you glad It was I you had to rescue, instead of some big barge of a woman? Didn’t you find it thrilling? If it had been some thin, narrow little fellow he might have dropped me and I'd break my neck.” “But I remember the way you said it, Sandy. I didn’t miss that," She shrugged, but a sparkling and a fear in her heart: “You do! Then I guess, Ramon, you know you’re quite the nicest person in the island at the present time.” “Only In the island?” “That’s the only place I happen to be at present.” “Sandy, you’re staying here much longer than you intended?” “No—not than I intended,” “But indefinitely, now?” “I’m not sure. You’ll stay forever, won’t you?” “No. But I’ll be here as long as you are.” “Then we can have lots of fun —” She thought with a twinge of his sentence: “The little love that comes with a laugh and leaves without a tear.” She rose slowly: “I must go, Ramon.” She was greatly disturbed., ♦ • • ER mother had all the drawers of the bureau opened, i__J her clothes dumped in hectic disorder on the floor.

Sandy grew weak—fainting and weak. “Tomorrow, mother?” “Yes —there’s the cable. He has the passage for us.” “We can’t go! I can’t get ready that soon." "I have your things all packed."

OUR BOARDING HOUSE-By AHERN

FEB. 26, 1926

f'JJ, 'IIIE met Ramon Worth tn the j> I garden. They went driving. I I She could hardly force her lips to speak. Finally she said: "We leave on the Matsonla tomorrow.” ‘"Tomorrow?” he repeated blankly ”Why, you can’t get passage mm?” “It’s all attended to.” And when she had cenvlnoed him, i he said brusquely: “This la a hell I of a shock!” i She laughed: “I came with a j laugh, Ramon—l leave without a j tear.” j He remained very quiet. He i scarcely spoke In the hours they , had together. j As they started for home he eald , abruptly: “Sandy, I wish you’d kiss i me good by.” “I can’t do that.” “Why can’t you?" “Oh, what la the purpone? It’s | been awfully pleasant meeting you. j You’ve been so friendly. Now I’m 1 leaving. We may never see each I other again. Why should I kiss i yon?" But he was bending down tn her, 1 looking In her face, his own Intent, I almost harsh looking. “But aren’t you sorry to be going? Won’t you care If we never see each other again?" “Yes.” “And don't you like me somewhat?" “Don't come so close, Ramon." “And don’t you want to kiss me, Sandy?” Her eyes flashed. “Yea— Yes. I do!" • • • eE laughed, caught her a moment In his arms. "You darling! I knew you'd tell the truth.” Her cheeks were stinging. She told herself Insolently: "What of a kiss! I always loved them!" But she was trembling when she ■went to her room. She lay awake thinking. “Going back —Good GodGoing back!" They were on the boat hours he fore It was to sail. Sandy Btood at the rail, her heart sinking. Would he come to see her off?” He was walking on. A boy followed with suitcase. He was sailing with them. She felt alive—alive with radiant fire.
