"I should like you to know, just the same," he said. As he spoke, he drew her violently to him. For an electrifying instant, she knew that all her resistance had crumpled within her and that she was responding to his almost brutal kiss with a fierce and overwhelming joy. Then, with all the strength of her arms, she beat against him, striving to tear herself away from his crushing embrace. With a low laugh, Bruce grasped her shoulders and flung her from him, so that she reeled backward against the wall of the cabin. She stood, gasping in rage and terror, unable to speak, while he lighted another cigarette and lounged indifferently again on the table's edge. "Now you have the reason, he said. "You had better not come here again." She looked across at him, unable at first to give place to the terrifying conviction that had come suddenly upon her. She had done more than cure him of his love for her she had destroyed even his respect for her. In a moment she was out of the door into the blindness of a dying sky, a dying world, into a forlorn space that was hollow with the moan of death. XI Autumn had gone to the drawing room immediately after dinner and had seated herself at the piano. During the hour she had sat at the table with her father, she had done her best to bring him out of his But her own solitary brooding. frame of mind had been too desolate to make the task easy. She was sorry for him, inexpressibly so. For weeks Autumn had watched him fighting alone, retreating before the heartless bludgeonings of his own conscience, recovering himself again and beating his way back and re to a position of newed faith in himself. And always Autumn knew that his love for her was the one precious thing in his life. It was because of her, the daughter of Millicent, that he refused to give up the fight, and be cause of the memory of Millicent that lived in her. It was only natural, perhaps, that he should be blind to the fact that by his stubborn struggle he was drawing his daughter into the con flict. He had thought to avoid that by keeping her where she would never have known of it. Had she been content to remain in England, Jarvis would have fought through to the end and died in the comforting knowledge that she could at least begin her own life and live it as she pleased, without the unhappy heritage of the past. And now another evening was coming serenely to a close, as though the stars of the night before, when she had gone alone to see Bruce, had not shrunk out of the sky, as though all beauty had not self-respe- ct become ashes in her heart. Jarvis had gone to his library after dinner, and Autumn sat at the piano, her hands lisping idly over the keys, her eyes Inattentively noting the blue dusk that stole from the open win dow and made a strange, impalpa ble color of a great bowl of yellow roses. Presently her hands fpl! from the keyboard and lay listlessly in her lap. At a sound from the hall, she turned and saw her father standing in the doorway, his cigar in his fingers, his eyes fixed upon her with an unwonted tenderness. "What was that you were playing. Autumn?" he asked after a moment. "That was Grondahl's 'Serenade,' Da," she told him. "I've heard you play it before and I've asked the name of it," he said, "but I can never seem to remember. Play it again. I like it." He came into the room and went to a large chair that stood to one side of the French windows where he sat gazing out into the fitful light of the garden as Autumn played. WThen she came to the end at last, he did not speak, and Autumn got up and moved to the console where the roses stood. She caressed an opulent, yellow bloom with thoughtful fingers. full-blow- n, "No more music?" Jarvis enquired at last, a wistful note in his voice that hurt the bruised part of her being. "Perhaps later," she said quietly. ft Hotel TEMPLE SQ0ARE Oppaaltt Mormon TwpU BlGHXT RECOMMENDED I Ifl t RjrctU50te$3.00 mark of diitmctioa to to8 at Hiis beautiful fcontttry tKNEST C aOBSTTKB. Mgr.

She had really not meant it for a question so much as an an- nouncement. But the helpless, almost childlike look of dejection that appeared promptly in bis eyes gave her a moment's disquietude. He bent forward and clasped his hands. "You wish to go, Autumn?" he asked, his voice grown wistfuL "Da," she replied, "one can't always do just what one would like to do. I came here because I wanted to and I've managed to make a mess of everything since I've come. Jarvis sighed heavily. "I'm sorry, my dear. It hasn't been your fault, either." "It's the fult of no one in particular," Autumn said. "It was just in the cards." "Aye. I know. You're still thinking of Geoffrey's son. Isn't that it?" "I'm thinking of everything," she responded. "I can't go on living here with things as they are. I've done my best. Da or my worst, perhaps, you would say. It will be easier for everyone concerned if I get back to the other side of the world." Laird looked at her sternly. "It be as you say, then." he said. "It s better so. I'll sell up in the fall and join you." He patted her shoulder in awkward and inarticulate compassion, and turned away. She could hear his retreating steps on the polished floor, heavy and measured and ponit dering. To her defeated spirit, sounded seemed that those footsteps the inexorable, iron stride of the past crushing down the present and the future. She looked out upon the blurred garden with eyes dull in resignation. During the days that followed, Jarvis Dean's spirits were lighter than they had been for months. To be sure, it was not pleasant to think that Autumn was leaving the place to which she had come such a short time ago, her heart swelling with anticipation of what the future held for her, her mind full of plans for the new life she was entering. He was sorry for her. And yet, the irking uncertainty of those weeks had been almost more than he could bear at times. Autumn's decision to return to the Old Country had relieved him of that, at least. His own resolve to sell everything and follow her as soon as it could be managed without too great a sacrifice had brought its regrets, its pang of loneliness, but that had 11 She got up again and went to stand before the window. There followed a long silence burdened with the impasse to which their emotions had come. She heard her father clear his throat with a deep rumble, and then she knew that he had risen and was coming slowly toward her. His hand lay for a moment gently upon her shoulder, but she did not turn. to look at him. "I'm sorry, my girl," he mut tered. "I cannot tell you how sor ry I am. I had hoped somehow that you might be happy here after a time in spite of everything. I had hoped for too much, it seems." "I had, too," Autumn replied. "But it wasn't to be." "I shall miss you more now than ever," Jarvis said, and then, after a long silence: "But you must not stay because of that,- - Autumn." "You are making it easy for me to somewhat said, go," Autumn abruptly in spite of herself. The old man went back to his chair. "Autumn," he said at last, "don't be impatient with me tonight. I'm tired and your music " "I didn't mean that, Da," she said quickly and went to him at once. The Laird's head sank forward, nis eyes staring out upon the garden. "I'd be just as glad if I could make it easy for you to stay," he said. "Sometimes I think you" "I've done my best, Da His voice stopped and he swept or my worst." his eyes with his hand.

Very late that night, when Autumn lay awake and allowed her mind to drift sleepily back over the journey into the hills, it seemed to her that what she had beheld in the cycle of that day had been sunrise and sunset on the moon, or on some bizarrely landscaped planet hitherto only a fantastic dream in the mind of man. Early morning had clawed great, long scars of black valley down the pale, colossal faces of the hills, frightening and thrilling in their report of what this land had been in ages gone. Noon had made insubstantial islands of the mountain tops, swimming in their mists as on the white lambency n "Aye," he said, "I suppose one must be in the mood for it.

No more of that now! Back again to the the purposeless life she had known with Aunt Flo. Forget that there had ever been anything else. Forget the reverent somber brow of a mountain bared to the moon. Forget a star unfolding like a bloom of sweet loneliness in the luminous, unnameable color of a summer sky. Forget the drift of mountain rain in the spring, and the flamy torches of Indian paint brush on the gaunt hills. Forget Bruce Landor, and the curious, heartless aear ways of love, forever. 1 LONGER 11 LIFE-LIN- E II If you trade in your car 1 now, or run it through its full mechanical life, It's all loss and no gain if your car grows old before its time.
