Mrs. Manners said hesitantly something rather horrid happened last night, and Ferdy waa arrested. Her eyes filled again, sha straightened the collar It was all rather horrid, again. nd itll all be forgotten thla time next week, aha said cheerfully. So lets not talk about it! Arrested!" Victoria echoed, Why what happened?" aghast There waa an accident I dont know Just what happened, Magda aid, her eyea watering. "It was all so horrible! He had been drinking, of course, and ba was driving May Fincc home they were both in the car asleep, right near where the smash was. Who were?" If It had been anyone but May! Magda sighted. However, they say the poor fellow'll get well, and Ferdy can stand the damages. He was all smashed up, the man they ran Into, and Its a miracle they werent all killed! But if he'd been with anyone but May! Whos she? Oh, she's a cheap little Idiot I used to know years ago May Smith; she married Tony Feeney and divorced him and spent a few weeks in Paris, so now shes 'Madame Finee, and aha can hardly remember an English word! And does Ferdy like her? Magda looked at her daughter ruminatively, answered mildly. Rather. And of course sbei making passes at Ferdy. Oh? Vicky said. It was the old atmosphere again! Or rather, at the Manners money. which is very stupid for me," Magda ended the subject cheerfully. Stupid, that's what it is, for Ferdyd never look at anyone like May! And now tell me more about today did you say Grace Peacock was there? Shes Margery King's mother. . I know she is. and I know she went all over Europe trying to get a priest to marry her to Joe Peacock. and couldnt Margerys nice, Vicky said Something, But once? If we can afford to stay there, surely you can afford to come up once? IM try. It Isn't going to much, said her mother. The cot tage belongs to Annas sister, and our food won't be much. Oh, are we sort of boarding, Mother? Something like that Keith Herrendeen, putting them on the train, gave Victoria a little box in parting. 'Tnat belonged to my mother, and her mother before her youve seen it, the pearl and onyx set I want you to have it Dad, Victoria clung to him. youre not going to have much fun. I wish you were going! And she called back to him over her shoulder: Ill write you I love you! For the first day or two Mrs. Brock and Magda talked together confidentially and Inexhaustibly. Catherine and Victoria did not care, for they were embarked upon the most enchanting adventure of their lives. All day long, and far into the beautiful summer nights, the two girls talked and laughed, swam and cooked and walked together, giggled their way through adventures that supplied them with endless material for laughter and reminiscence. The little cabin wai on the east side of the lake; it was so small that the happy party had the feeling of living out of doors. A mile or two to the west was the hotel, in a settlement of informally grouped lake homes; the Brock place was all by Itself with a little triangular sandy beach of its own. Anna and Magda and the two girls concocted for themselves the sort of meals that women love in summer: salads, bowls of berries, boxed cookies, fruits. Victoria's beautiful mother had for a friend one of the homeliest of But Anna Brock had an women. odd abrupt charm of her own, and she was extremely brilliant She in spoke French and German, and New to was she going September York to teach Latin in a boys schooL And then Catherine joy of Vicoysl would be placed with Rafael boarding toria In the San schooL They would still be togeth-er- l mother steadily; she had not moved a muscle. Now she swallowed with a dry throat There were teara In Magdas yes and in her voice; and she stopped short and looked away over the dazzle of blue water. Oh, the break is terrible, I know that I know it now! But after few weeks after a month or two everyone get used to it and the two persona who have grown nervous and irritable and wretched together are free! But then when will I see Dad? Victoria asked, tears gushing from her eyes. Can I write to him? My darling, of course. And he'll come to see you at school, take you out to movies! Why, I'm writing him today, and I'll put your-lov- e in. It seemed less strange the next day; Dad and pother separating Still Victoria tried to adjust her thoughts to all the amazing angles of this new turn of affairs, thought that she would go and see Dad often, too, if she could get away from schooL And perhaps next year he and she would have their little dream house on the shore for a few weeks, and cook waffles and scrambled eggs. This was late August. It was In early October that Victoria, slim and busy and happy in the dark blue Dominican uniform, with the dazzling collar of her bluejacket's blouse turned back at the neck, and the pale blue scarf that marked her as a freshman blowing in the autumn wind, was stopped as she was racing in Catherines wake across the school playground. "Letter for you, Victoria said Sister Beats, extending it in a clean, cool hand. Oh, thank you, Ster," Victoria gasped, seizing it It was from her mother, who was down In Santa Barbara with the Arnolds. It told her happily, simply, that her mother and Ferdinand Ainsa y Castello for you may as well Manners, have hiswhole name, my darlingT although Ive only got the first and the last on my new cards, had been married that day at noon. Her father came to see her now and then, on Sundays. They were oddly silent, oddly ill at ease with each other. Victoria saw her stepfather only In flying glimpses for the remainder of her school life. He and her mother were at the big Manners cattle ranch down in the Argentine for two years, and when they came back Victoria was preparing for a second trip to Europe. Mother Raymond had written to her mother about leaving her in the school there for the final year of French and music and culture generally, and Victoria had only one real visit with her mother before it was time to go. Ferdinand Manners had leased the big Chalmers place In Burlingame; Magda was back among her friends again and giddy With happiness and triumph. Victoria spent a somewhat bewildered yet happy Easter vacation there, exploring all the garden paths and all the big rooms. She came back to California at another Easter time, eighteen years old, and ready to graduate with her class. Her mother met her in New York, and they made the transcontinental trip together. Ten weeks later Victorias handsome bags were packed again, and she went down to the Chalmers place for the summer. The beautiful Chalmers house was open to summer breezes and filled with summer flowers; the Chinese butler, discreet in his purple and blue silks, motioned her upstairs. Another Oriental took her bags; her mothers maid, who had crossed the continent with them a few weeks before, met her at the top of the stairs. Vic asked to see her mother. Magda was in her magnificent bedroom, a large airy apartment flanked by an enormous bath, by a d complete dressing room, by an upper balcony. Victoria found her mother stretched on a couch by' a window; she was not reading the magazine she held, and her eyes were absent and reddened a little from recent tears. At the sight of the girl she began to cry again, and they clasped each other closely. . My darling, youre home at last! If you knew if you knew how I've wanted you! Magda sobbed. She instantly regained control of herself and smiled with trembling lips, straightening the collar of Victoria's blouse as the girl knelt beside her. she said.

If she gets temperamental, tries to assert herself, he is annoyed. But he goes his own way Just the same. Victoria looked thoughtfuL her en. You oughtnt to stay . here. Where, Magda asked simply, ought we go? The summer Idled Itself Into autumn, and Victoria and Magda went, down to the shore again. This time they had the smartest cottage at the lodge, and the beautiful Mrs. Manners was much admired and entertained. Mr. Manners, she explained to everyone, with a flash of white teeth, was fishing for steel-hea- d up in the Klamath. Every hostess told Victorias mother that she had a wonderful man for her as a dinner or bridge partner, but Victoria noticed that Magda found none of them really wonderfuL In October Ferdy went off on somebodys yacht for six weeks. He seemed a little guilty about it and gave Victoria a large check to waste In New York. Later she suspected that his twinges of conscience were because the yachting trip that he had mentioned as Involving only "a few fellers actually Included the owner's wife, another woman, and the ubiquitous May. Magda did not know that, or Victoria believed and hoped she did not They came back to California in December, and Ferdy came back for Christmas. Little was said of the feminine element on the yachting trip, and the three spent the holidays In a splendid. suite in the Fairmont hotel up at the top of the hill with the green iron balconies of their breakfast room banging over the fascinating jumble of masts and stacks and long pier roofs on the Embarcadero. Ferdy now said that he thought he must go back to Rosarios for a few months. He thoughtt Magda would be a great fool to go. It would be hot traveling; and she hated the place anyway. An unusually long period of affection and placation resulted in April in Magdas decision to go with Ferdy to South America. Victoria told her mother she was going to stay in California. Well because Catherine and Mrs. Brock were going up to the lake again, and wanted her. Well and because she really would like it like it better. She might come down to Rosarios later, all by herself. But but really she would like it better this way, now. Magda was gently hurt, puzzled, Ferdy smiled, but Vicky knew that he was furious. She held her d and affectionground, ate, but not to be moved. In the end they left without her, and Vicky and Catherine went up to the lake. A week later, when she and Catherine were sitting down on the lake shore one day, Victoria told her the reason: Catherine, cross your heart and hope to die if you ever tell anyone this! "I do," said Catherine solemnly, suiting the action to the word. It was he, Victoria said. Who? Your stepfather? My stepfather nothing!" Vicky echoed, repudiating the relationship. He Catherine, if you ever tell anyone this Ill never speak to you again! he followed me into the sitting room one night wed all just come home from a movie and kissed me and crushed me against him.

On the very first evening that Magda told him he must stop carrying on with her y idle days began to go by. Victoria wondered what she was to do with the endless line of them that stretched ahead. For a week she enjoyed the new life lazily; then quite suddenly the whole thing began to palL Magda had her own beautiful suite of rooms; Ferdy had his. They lived entirely separated lives; sometimes they saw each other during the course of the day. and sometimes not. Quite often they dined at the same house, but the dinners were large, and Ferdy went to them before Magda did, explaining perhaps to a servant that he was meeting some friend first at the club for preliminary cocktails, and Magda always went late, in great state, in her beautiful car with her own driver. So that even then they had no moment together. I CHAPTER III Her mother was not happy. Gallant and smiling, keeping a brave front to the world, Magda's soul was trying to feed itself on husks. What she told Victors of the last few years was a story of disillusionment and loneliness, in a setting of luxury, traveL extravagance. Biarritz had been duU. London dull, Paris dreadful, Rosarios down in Eucnos Aires, where Ferdys Spanish mother and Spanish sisters lived, had been insufferable. Perhaps 1 oughtnt to tell you Victoria was at the dock, in the fine soft November fog, to see the big ship come in; the Empress of Panama was on time; at exactly one minute before eleven oclock she drew up alongside, and all the excitement of landing began.
