CHAPTER VII
OMIM
CHAPTEZ VI—Cestinael
—IS—
On this um afternoon little Lucy
Logan was writing to Dela Id
Simms
"It seems like a dream lover
that you are to come for me In Feb-
ruary and that then we'll be mar-
tied And that all the rut of my
life I am to belong to you
"Del it isn't because you are rich
01 course I shall adore the things
you can do for me I am not going
to pretend that I shan't But if you
were poor I'd work for you—live
for you Oh Del I do hope that you
wM believe it
'The other day Mr Towne said
le one of his letters that you had
always been fickle that there had
been lots of girls Eloise Harper
before Edith And I wanted to
scream right out and say 'It isn't
true He hasn't ever really cared
before this' Ilkd of course I couldn't
But I broke a pencil point and as
for Mr Towne who is he to say
such things about you? I haven't tak-
en his letters for the last three
years for nothing There's always
somebody—the last one was Mrs
Laramore and now he has his eye
on a little Jane Barnes whose broth-
er found Miss Towne's bag and the
ring She's rather a darling but
I hope she won't think he is in
earnest
"And now my dear and my dar-
ling good-night I wonder how I
dare call you that But I am al-
ways saying it to myself and at
night I ask God to keep you—safe"
Jane in Baldy's absence dined
on Sunday with the Follette! in the
middle of the day In the after-
noon she and Evans went for a walk
'and came home to tea in the library
Stretched in a long leather chair
Evans read to Jane and his moth-
er "The Eve of St Agnes"
At the moment Mrs Follette was
weighing seriously the fact of Jane
as a wife for Evans She was pretty
as well as cheerful Had good man-
ners Of course in the old days
Evans would inevitably have
looked higher There had been
plenty of rich girls eager to attract
him He had had unlimited invite-
Hons Women bad in fact quite
run after him Florence Preston
had rather made a fool of herself
And Florence's father had millions
But now—? Mrs Follette knew
how little Evans had at the moment
to offer She hated to admit it but
the truth was evident Watching the
two young people she decided that
should Evans care for Jane she
would erect no barriers As for
Jane marriage with Evans would
be in a way a nil in the world
She would live at Castle Manor in-
stead of at Sherwood Park
It was after five when Baldy tele-
phoned triumphantly: "Jane Edith
Towns has agreed to go home to
night And I'm to take her I called
up Mr Towne and told him and he
wants you to be there when we
come He'll send Briggs for you
and we are all to have dinner to-
gether" "But Reidy I don't know Edith
Towne Why doesn't he ask some
of her own friends?"
"She doesn't want 'sm Rates
them all and anyhow he has asked
yes Why worry?'
"I'll have to go home and dress"
' "Well you're to let him know at
once Where Brigp can gloy:tmos I
told him you were at the
Jane want ha& and repeated the
esavereation to Evans and Ws moth

Sr Mn Follette was much inter
stet The Townes were most im-
portant people "How nice for youe
Jane"
But Evans disagreed with her
"What makes you say that Mother?
It bm't nice It will simply be up
sitting"
don't see why you say that
Evans" Jane argued "I am not
easily upset"
"But with all that money You
can't keep up with them"
"Don't put ideu into Jane's
head" his mother remonstrated "a
lady is always a lady"
But Jane sided now with Evans
"I see what he means Mrs Fol-
lette I haven't the clothes I
haven't a thing to wear tonight"
"Oh I wasn't thinking of your
looks" Evans got up and stood on
r4-flolguv'thUge1
the hearth-rug "But people like
that! Jane I wish you wouldn't go"
She looked up at him with her
chin tilted "I don't see how I can
refuse"
"Of course she can't Evans
don't be so unreasonable" Mrs Fol
lette interposed "it will be a won-
derful thing for Jane to know Edith"
"will it be such a wonderful thing
for her to know Frederick Towne?"
He flung it at them
Jane demanded "Don't you want
me to have any good times?"
He stared at her for a moment
and when he spoke it was in a dif-
And he was just a ghost in a fog
ferent tone "Yes of course I beg
your pardon 'Taney"
Mrs Follette having effaced her-
self for the moment from the con-
versation decided that things be-
tween her son and little Jane Barnes
might reach a climax at any mo-
ment "I believe he's half in love
with her" she told herself in some
bewilderment
As for Frederick Towne she
didn't consider him for a moment
Jane wu a pretty child But Fred-
erick Towne could have his pick of
women There would be nothing se
rious in this friendship with :ans
Jane called up Towne "It was
good of you to ask me" she said
"I am at the Toilettes' but I'll go
home and dress and Briggs can
come for me there"
"Come as you are"
"You wouldn't say that V you
mold see me I took a walk with
Evans this afternoon and I show the
effects of it"
"trans? Oh Clasetoa?"
Millet makes you eall Mat thatr
NI doubt d ft when I saw kith
wafts tor you at the ton et the
terrace l'he boy stood ba tbe bum
deck—' " he MOM
"I don't think that's busy at all"
saM Zane frankly --
"Don't you? Wen beg your part-
don ru beg It tgain when I get
you here Briggs IrM reach Cub
wood at about amen I wadi drive
out myself but rvit an mrtul
and the doctor tells me I must stay
In Ands Cousin Ameba is sick In
bed with a cold too you unit take
pity on me and keep me company"
Jane hung up the receiver It
would she decided be an suiting
adventure But she was not sure
that she liked Frederick Toms
Evans walked home with her The
air was warmer than it had been
for days and faint mists had risen
The mist thickened finally to a fog
which rolled over them as It blown
from the high sem Yet the sea
was miles away and the tog was
born in the riven and streams and
In the melting 'mows
They found it somewhat difacult
to keep to the road They were iki
most smothered in the thWE gray
masses Their voices had a muffled
sound Enna' hand was to Jane's
arm so that they might keep to-
ether "Jane" he said "I made a tool
rd myself about Towne But bon-
estly—I was afraid—"
"of what?"
"That he might fall in love with
you
"He's not thinking of me Evans
and besides he's too old—"
"Do you really MI that way
about it Jane?" '
"Of course—silly"
Re could not see her face—but the
words in her laughing lovely volt
gave Writ 'sense Of rtaasurenoti
"Zany" he said "it I could only
have you like this always shut
away from eta world"
"But I don't want to be shut
away I should feel—caged—"
"Not if you cared"
There was in his tone the huski-
ness of intense feeling She was
moved by it "Oh I know what you
mean But love won't come to me
like that—shut in I shaU want
freedom and sunshine I'U be a
gull over the sea—a ship in bill
sail—a gypsy on the road—but I'll
never be a ghost in a fog"
His hand dropped from her arm
"Perhaps you'll be a princess in a
castle Tovme can make you that"
"Why do you keep harping on Mh
Towne? I don't like it"
"Because—oh I think everybody
Wants you—"
And now it wu she who caught at
his arm in the mist and leaned on
It "I'm not the least in love with
Frederick Towne And I shall am-
er marry a man I don't love Ev-
ans" When they came to the little house
they found old Sophy nodding in the
kitchen She always stayed with
Jane when Baldy was away So
Evans said "Good-night" and start-
ed back
He found the path between the
pines walked a few steps and stum-
bled He sat down on the log that
had tripped him He had no wish to
go on His depression was intense
Night was before him and darkness
Loneliness And Jane would be with
Frederick Towne
He had for Jane a feeling of hope-
less adoration She would never be
his For how could he try to keep
her? "I'll be a gull over the sea—a
ship in full sail—a may on the
road—never a ghost in a fog"
And he was just a ghost in a foil
Oh what wu the use of ever
"climbing up the climbing wave"?
One must have something of hope
to live on A dream or two—ahead
How long he sat there he did not
know And all at once he was
aware of a pale blur against the
prevailing gloom And then he heard
Jane's voice calling "Evans? Ev-
ans?" He answered and she came up to
him "Your mother telephoned—
that you had not come home—and
she was worried"
She was holding the lantern up
to the length of her arm In her
orange cloak she shone through the
veil of mist luminous
"My dear" 1 she 'said gently
"why are you sitting here?"
"Because there ion't any use in

Re tried to protest but she was
firm 'TB be book in a minute"
She ntumed prison the len
tern in one hand and W slipper
bag in the other "I pat on heavier
oboes I should ruin my slippers"
As they trod the path together
the light et the lantern shone in
round spots of gold now in front
id them now babied them The fog
preload close but the path was
clear
"Evans" said Jane "I want you
to promise me something"
"Anything except—not to love
YouD
"It has nothing to do with love of
me but it has something to do with
love of God" -
He knew how hard it was for her
to say that lens did not speak
easily of such things
She went on with some beeltation
Her voice muffled by the fog had a
muted note of music
"Evans you mustn't let what I
do-make you or break you Whether
I love you or not you must go on
You—you couldn't bold me it you
weren't strong enottet' even' N I

you must believe it Eva And you
mustn't make me feel resposeible
I can't stand it To feel all the time
that I am hurting—you"
She was sobbing A little boo
latent
"And you are Captain of your soul
Evans You Not anyone else I
can't be I can be a help and oh
I wM help all I can You how that
But—I love you like a big brother—
not in any other way If anything
should happen to you it would be
dreadful for me just as it would be
dreadful if anything happened to
Biddy
"Jam my dear don't" for she
was clinging to his arm crying as
Li her heart would break
"But I do care for you so much
Evans I was frantic when your
mother telephoned I wasn't quite
dressed and I made Sophy get the
lantern and then I ran down the
path and looked for you"
He stopped and laid his hand on
her shoulder Her weakneu her
broken words bad roused in him a
sudden protective tenderness
"Mlittle girl" he said "don't
God helping me rm going to get
back And you are going to light
my way Janet do you know when
I saw you coming towards me with
that dim lantern it seemed sym
bone Hope held out to me—seen
through a fog faintly But a light
nevertheless"
"Oh Evan if I could love you
I would you know that"
"I know You'd tie up the broken
wings of every bird You'd give
crutches to the lame and food to
the hungry And that's the way you
feel about me"
He had let her go cow p and they
stood apart shrouded in ghostly
white
"God helping me" he Bald stabs
"ru get back That's a promise
'Taney and here's my band upon
She gave him her hand "God
helping us both" she said
He lifted her hand and kissed it
Then in silence they walked on
until they noshed the house
