CHAPTER IV Continued 5 Tlie glory of the year deepened swiftly, am joy kept puce with It In Ellen's heart. The harness was long gone, the couch was upstairs again, In and only a cushioned rocking-chai- r Its place. Ellen could sweep the garden path again, wllh her tdue Httnlam-ne- t over her eyes. Ellen could cut out cookies on condition that she went straight upstairs and lay down for an hour afterward. Except that slje usually went to hed at eight o'clock, and avoided the more violent forms of youthful amusement, Ellen might live her old life again. Ilut It would never lie the old life. It was so enriched and so enhanced by the five long months In prison that Ellen felt sensations of freedom absolutely birdlike, warmth and (lowers and blue sky intoxicated her. Leonard Henshnw, for whose attentions she lmd wistfully longed n year ago, was her captive now, hut she did not want to marry Leonard Henshnw. She only wanted to lie alive, and to claim her work and play among the living lignin. May thirtieth, always a great day In lort Washington annals, broke cloudless, and found all the village already In holiday mood. The yacht clubs would go Into commission at high noon, with every Imaginable form of gnjety to do honor to the occasion. At the Port Washington club, where Ellen and her friends would presently gather, there were to he swimming races, n great outdoor luncheon, n baseball game between the married and the unmarried men, moving pictures, games and prizes for the small children, n dance until long after midnight. and, of course, the raising of the colors. Ellen was taken down hy the lien-slmhoys, In their car, at eleven o'clock, and was under parole not to race, even If she swam, not to crew even If she sailed, and to be home at five o'clock to get three hours rest before the dance. Strings of color were fluttering everywhere, women with baskets were gathering on the clubhouse porch, eager heats were cutting about the pier end like restless gulls, tenders, loaded to their rapacities, were making for the yachts. Presently the colors went up. fluttering gayl.v ngauist the blue, and the cannon, fired from the grassy mound before the clubhouse. was answered by twenty lamming shots from the bouts. As the dt died away the hand hurst madly Into sound, and thirty young figures plunged from the pier end for the first swim, to pull themselves upon the float a moment later a's sleek as seals, and add their shrieks and laugh-- t to the genera! uproar. If Ellen Latimer, one of the seals, who wns warning Hobby Carnival that If ho pushed her Into the water again he would he sorry for It the longest day of tils life, had chanced to glance toward The Eaglet, one of the visiting yachts in the hay, anchored three hundred j arils away from her, she might et th s moment have received a shock, r'or a man with a thick mop of hair under a vlsored yachting cup was standing there, yawning hap-pl.In the warm sum.hlne.

Sensitive and proud, he fonrul the attitude of his Intimates equally distasteful, whether they with him or criticized him. he missed his work, and found no Incentive to take up anything new. Without his realizing It, the pretty Ittle Miss Latimer had touched hlin. She wi s r.ot flirting, like Lucia, she was dead In earnest, the brlgbt-eyed- , t sil-vre- d v d rov little eCttlUHlaSL i Heeoratlon day. George, Junior, leaping out of rhe cabin ready for swimming, the older men followed suit, und Gihhs, whom the hoy adored blindly in all things, passed him In the fresh dancing water, and dragged himself tip on the anchored raft at the side of tin club pier, where they got Into conversation with a hoy In a dirty gray sweater, who wns sitting there Idly In the sun. This Is going to he the girls race now, said the hoy, when he and George, Junior, had discussed several Important matters. They'll all line up here, und dive, and swim to the float, und touch it, and then swim buck. On the pier, the crowd was gathering to watch the races, und presently a dozen slender laughing girls ill wet bathing suits formed u line on the edge of the float, and at the crack of the pistol were into the water with one shout, and tearing like so many salmon for the swimmers float. The sw catered hoy was now heard to observe to George, Junior: That's my sister out there on the float. She could heat em all I She got first prize last year, and two years ago. She fell out of an automobile, and hurt her spine, und they wont let her swim yet. I don't know what shes doing In that rig, then, GihLs observed. Oh, well, she swim, hut she can't ruee! Gihhs thought the big, loosely-buil- t country fellow had a most engaging smile, and paid small attention to his words at the moment. Meanwhile Ellen, wrapped In a mantle of drying black hair, was rocking herself hack and forth on the float, discussing the races, and congratulating the winner. Perhaps she noticed the two strange men and the hoy who dived suddenly from the nnchor flont, hut as this chunced to he the moment when the Henshnw hoys, with two girl passengers, elected to upset their canoe, It wns probable that she saw nothing of the visitors. Later, when she and Aunt Elsie were busy at the lunch tables that lmd been built on the green between the clubhouse and the tennis courts, and with a score of other women were cutting cukes, helping sal ad, and pouring coffee, .Toe lounged up to them, gorging on sandwiches.

"I hardly think we will come in for t he dance," Gihhs answered. 'Funny she looks as If she could dance! Hut you give her my love Mr. Josselyn, will you?" At the dinner table George Lathrop asked Gihhs if he had noticed that hoy. That was no sort of hoy to be knocking about the water front of a small fishing village, he had an exceptionally fine face.

"He said slicd been in a motor accident, and hurt her spine, little George Hut she got the prize for swimsaid. ming last year, and second prize in the ladies singles What Is It, Uncle Gihhs?

The sunset gun had fired, the banners were lowered, Port Washington was dotted with lights In the early darkness, other lights mirrored themselves In the quiet hay. I guess you and I will hnve to go over am have a look at that dance, George, he said. It was a night made for youth, and beauty, and the innocent, radiant egotism of beauty nnd youth.

Lathrop, Senior, lmd friends among the club members, and was quickly taken to the heart of Fort Washingtons younger set. lie was a democratic man. and lie liked to see his daughter's blonde locks bobbing over the shoulder of the hoy who had rowed the bout that afternoon. Gild'S had declined to enter the ballroom at once, nnd had remained on the porch to finish Ids cigarette. From the darkness here he watched the dancers, and he had no dillleulty in finding Ellen, in her pale pink ruffles, with her exquisite, radiant face. She wus not dancing, although the bine eyes nnd the pink slippers evidently longed to dance, nnd when Gihhs first saw her, wn.i talking prettily to some older woman with great gravity nnd attention. A youth came up and she transferred her earnest gaze to him. til'd presently Gihhs felt a quick sensation of almost pain near his heart ns her face brightened Into an actual laugh. So sweet, so young, so Innocently fresh and good! Gihhs wondered whether summer nnd moonlight had gotten intli his blood, as he felt it run warmer at the slight of her. Too dignified to write him what a day of pleasure had cost her, too honest to make capital out of the fortuitous chance, she could adjust her little affairs with courage and character, and, having chosen her path, pursue It to fle end. The man who won Ellen Latimer wonlil ba a lucky man, he thought, with curious wlstfulnesa. And suddenly, with an unaccustomed flush of color In bis face, the question sprang iuto his heart ful! formed. Suppose such a girl could come to care for a man like him? Where could he find anything better, or sweeter, or more rich in promise for the years to come? He was tired of the old life, he had never really cured for the false standards, the superficial women, the intriguing, shallow girls, the show and glitter and cost. To put his arm about that lovely young body, to feel her close to him as she raised her flowerlike face for his kiss, to see Ellen in the sort of gowns he could design foi her, crouched beside a studio fire crossNothing an old garden In spring ing In months had so stirred his old delight In living as the thought of pleasing tier, spoiling her, finding the untouched deeps of her Joy always fresh. Suddenly the plan was horn. Paris! They would go to Paris, and there they could both work, and could make foi a life nothing short of the Ideal.

And the lovely young Mrs. Josselyn, a picture in gipsy hats and summer smocks, or velvet, childish winter gowns, would fill his life with sweetness, and Inspiration, and everything that wus clean and good und honest. He crossed the porch to the door of t lie ballroom as the dance ended, and met her, in the group of girl3 and hoys who were coming out for a breath of cooler a!r. She was talking to another g!rl, hut she saw the strange man, nnd turned her bright eyes curiously toward him. Then she stopped speaking, and one hand went with quick gesture to her heart, and In the dimness lie saw her white breast rise suddenly, and her lips part a little. He got her hand, and held It, and still she did not speak, merely stood breathing high, nnd looking steadily Daddys j Mveiii$ Fairy Tale CGrrStQI IT voftus SITViAI ELEPHANTS Gibbs found his own voice curiously He cleared his throat. unmanageable. "Ellen! he said. Another dance began, and another, and yet another. And through them all Ellen nnd Gibbs sat on the dark porch, over the softly moving water, and talked with that desperate deep relief that pilgrims know who find fresh, Icy springs after the parching desert, or mothers know who weep tie. side the bedside of the child that will live. It seemed to Ellen that all her life had been only a preparation for that' talk. .Sometimes he made her laugh, and she would flash him a look from averted blue eyes, and bring all her dimples into slid 'en play, nnd often she made him lamrli. and would regard him wiMi delicious childish seriousness until his mirth was explained. Hut for t lie most part they were serious, there was much to explain, much that was sad and poignantly sweet to remember, and with eloquent looks and monosyllables they relived it nil, nnd found It inexhaustibly wonderful nnd strange. And at midnight Ellen was driven away, h.v Leonard Henshnw, her hand still warm from the touch of Gihhs big hand, her shoulder still feeling rhe pressure of Ids protective arm, her heart and mnd and soul in a whirl of starshine. She undressed, wrapped in a sort of love for the gown and the hair and the exes Gihhs had praised, and lay down on her smail white hed and extinguished her light so promptly that her resile-- s aunt, in the next room, felt a sensation of gratitude. Hut Ellen had no time to waste with sleep tonight. Nor did Gibbs sleep. He sat outside his far Into the morning. smoking, thinking, smoking ngnin.
