in and he and martin played cribbage both furtively watch ed mary kate who busied herself quietly and constantly about the kit chen wiping the last spoon putting it away brushing the stove with the old turkey wing that hung beside it wiping sinkboards and chairs care fully she was subdued and nervous to night close to tears irs ohara had imagined this condition a natural reaction to marts accident she had a turn herself that she would not soon forget she had suggested that mary kate go with her to aunt julias but the girl had wearily declined she didnt feel like going out somehow the little children straggled up to bed at eight oclock cass made un easy by mary kates paleness and her manner wondered if there was anyone to whom they could telephone for a fourth at bridge but mary kate also negatived this idea she said sup- presscdly that she meant to go to bed early martin had not spoken to his sister since his return home the day before they had avoided even each others eyes of the shadow on his hand- wime face she had been fearfully con scious all day she knew the terrible hour of reckoning must eome and meanwhile it was unbearable to be at outs with mart they had been in- bcparable friends since actual baby hood they had never quarrelled it had beer a mutual admhation society mary kate thinking that no brother had ever been like mart and mart a proud of his pretty clever sistor as a father brother and lover in one it made her heartsick tonight to think how good how pure and safe mart had always felt his sister to be when the last claim of the children tbove stairs had been satisfied for the- night and when the gate had clicked behind mrs ohara and tom martin suddenly put- the cribbage cards aside and jerked his head authoritatively in ihe direction of his sister sit down a minute mary kate i want to talk to you he said cass gave her an apprehensive glance and turned red but mary kate obediently sat down and turned a tired and miserable young face to ward her brother does ma know any of this mar tin asked without preamble about what really happened no how much do you know cass martin asked i know- it all cass assured him promptly you know it all i told him mary kate explained very white i didnt want to many him without telling him i you didnt have to tel me cass i mud embarraiv j you know how 1 knew you veti l down there mary kate mart asked yes you told me in the hospital you said that you had driven doctor van antwerp home and that you saw me at mr rountrees whered you get the dress mr steynes bought it i might have known mart said he looked ten years older than his twentytwo years tonight ard as ho spoke he put his hand over his eyo with a gesture of despair yon cant take that tone with me if yon are my brother mary kate issue no 1431 said trembling but in a restrained tone look here i understand the whole thing cass put in suddenly and it isnt half as bad as you think mart mart moved lis haggard eyes to him i dont get you he said heavily why look here mart all mary- kate did was to go down there this chris steynes had a house party and she pretended to be a girl he was engaged to gordon rountree knew all about it there was no harm done did he mart asked with sudden incredulous hope in his eyes of mary kato certainly he did she said coldly and how many people were at the house cass supplemented en couraged mary kate could ignore this ques tion for mart spoke simultaneously i thought you pretended to be his wife mary kate no she answered unhesitatingly just just his girl oh martin said but look here he went on puzzled i went up to rountrees door after i saw you i had been home to change my clothes and i asked if mrs steynes was there and the girl said that mr- and mrs steynes had just gone home that was after one then i went to the steynes house and everything was dark the girl shuddered she was sit ting sidewise at the table her elbow resting on the red oilcloth she lean ed her cheek against her hand looking down at the floor her face her whole aspect desolate i wish youd taken tess or me along with ycu martin said sud denly i didnt think mother or you would approve it wasnt such an awful thing to do cass said generously he had his nerve to ask her but i dont think it was so bad i lay in the hospital there trying to think how i could get hold of you i knew there must be some explana tion martin said with a somewhat mollified glance at his sister there was distinct placation appeal in his tone i wanted to die he said simply mary kate did not cbange her po sition her sorrowful gaze was lower ed to the floor with its old linoleum of red and yellow black and white- now the tears began swiftly to fall running down her cheeks splashing on the little frilled collar she wore on a plain blue dress and on the thii young hand that looked forlorn and helpless somehow curled in her lap why couldnt you tell rountree that yon couldnt do it martin asked in what was almost his usual gentle tone with her 1 thought she said huskily n a lowered tone that you could use the money mart i thought you could go to germany the money ie echoed with a scowl yes that was what started it he paid you but why should 1 have done it otherwise you mean you thought id take his dirty money mart dont talk that way 1 might have murdered the fellow and you take his money mart said bitterly but i couldnt know that mary kate reminded him openly wiping her eyes looking at him through soppinc lashes i am as sorry as i can be she said but but you have no right to be so hard on me mart just then there was an authorita tive knock on the kitchen door and instantly she knew it would be chris topher who stood in the opening when cass opened it as indeed it was christopher he sent a quick glance about in orderly homely room and came in hardly a word was exchanged as he took oft his hat and overcoat and hung them on a peg by the hall door mart nodded toward a chair and chris sat down in it mary kate was rooted to her own seat she could not move her lashes were wet and dark with tears her shining hair had slip ped back into a careless cap of waves and loose tendrils her face was pale and stained with tears she contin ued to rest her head on her hand she did not look up as chris came in am i into chr asked his voice went through her like an actual tbout doubled both arms on the red oilcloth and burst into silent tearless sobbing that was all the more violent because of her effort to restrain it whats the matter the man asked- have they been riding you i wanted to ask you a few ques- tiorvs but my sister answered some of them already martin began in a measured tone his uneasy eyes mov ed continually to mary kate who had controlled herself and sat frozen with fear he faced chris you and she were alone in the house on friday night werent you your house i icsn in burlingame my servants were in a garage room that is attachcel to tho house yes chris answered somewhat sur- priseel and she had been introduced that evening as mrs steynes hadnt she martin pursued after a moment of ekctric silence didnt she tell you that that was the plan christopher countered in annoyance
