Ashley wit at the desk in his deu. ;
He had not yet actually sealed down
to work, for the door stood ajar and
he was still exploring his portfolio
and setting pajters In order before
him.
Voices floated down the staircase,
bis wife's subdued, his son's deep and
vibrant. Ashley's Hps extended in a
satistied smile.
"Have you thought, Gordon, of the
effect this will have upon your father,
and perhaps upon your prospects?"
Mrs. Ashley asked.
"Yes," answered the young man. "I
have yielded to father In choosing
business Instead of a profession. In
this I cannot yield."
"He will be disappointed," the moth
er said gravely.
Gordon laughed shortly at this mild
statement.
"1 am a man now, mother, and this
Is a matter in which one man may not
command another. 1 love Allie."
"We've played together summers
down at W'hoattield ever since we
were kids, and I always liked her
best." he tluished, boyishly.
His voice changed to a harsher tone.
"Father Is mining his life and ours."
he said, sternly. "Everything that is
his is touched by the blight of his
overbearing temper. It is wearing
you out. I can see It. Marjories
happiness was sacrificed to his am
bition. Dick was forced into uncon
genial employment. We've all kept in
for your sake, but sotue day there'll
be a mighiv smash. There never was
a man who thought himself onraipo
tent, since the days of Nebuehadi >
far, that the Almighty didn't hntnble
him."
At the look on his mother's fai-e,
he added, contritely:
"Forgive me, mother. I shouldn't
have said it."
They moved away,
Ashley sat motionless. That merci
less indictment from Gordon, In* ln>i<e
and pride! It was a full half-hour
before he arose, closed the door and
locked it. He dropped into his cha:r
and laid his head upon his folded
arms.
"Allie Betty Kent down tn vv neat
tield I"
That must be Alice (Cllxaheth's
daughter. In the days when Wheat
field had been his home, Alice Klira
beth's name had uot been Kent, but
Courtney.
After a few moments, he raised his
head, utiloeked n drawer and took i>ut
a box. From the bo* he dtvw a shab
by pockethook, and (rotu this, in turn,
a tiny, yellowed silk bap. He untied
its string and shook the font el) is out
upon the blotter—a circlet of braided
sweet crass, dry and brittle, and a
gold ring set with a small diamond.
He remembered the day he had
braided the grass and measured Alice
Kllxabeth's tinner.
They sat uuder the maples on the
river bunk. The sun sent golden
(hafts of light through the tref"> to fall
S
ed upon having the braided ring to
keep and had made the little sMK
bag for It, the very even'tig he had
placed the diamond on her ttnger.
He remembered, too, t-iie evening
nearly two years later, when she had
given them back. He retailed frag
ments of the conversation.
"Ton have grown so hard."
"Nothing matters exiei't having
your own way and It does not matter
that your way Is not always right."
"I do not dare to risk life w i;h vou."
"Please try to change, or I fear yon
will some day be a lonely, wretched
old man."
His hurt had been deep. He could
not destroy the rings, but had hidden
them.
Thirty-five rears, and tie hail not
changed. If tonight were any criterion,
he was on Ills way to the lonely,
wretched old nee she had prophesied.
A rap sounded at the door. With
the pitiful diamond still clasped in his
hand. Ashley unlocked It.
Gordon catue In. his shoulders
squared. "I wasn't sure you had come
home," he said. "Are you too busy to
listen to me for a few moments?"
Ashley pushed hack his paters.
"Go ahead," he said. gruffly.
Gordon came straight to the point.
"I'm engaged to be married, father.
I thought It best to tell you."
Ashley was silent. Gordou stumbled
on. "It Is Allie Betty Kent. She lives
In Wheattleld. where we used to go
summers." He waited, tense, for the
expected outburst.
"In Wheatfield," mused his father.!
"Must be Alice Courtney's daugh
ter."
"She is," answered tlie young man.
Relieved, he sat on the corner of the
desk and picked up a circlet of dried
grass that lay there, nervously break- J
lng It to bits and laying the hits u]>on
the platter. Ashley winced.
"Probably better than you deserve."
he prowled. "See that you.treat her
well. Now clear out."
Gordon went.
"Dismissed with a blessing." he re-1
marked in helpless astonishment.
Left alone, Ashley swept the hit*]
of dried grass Into the waste basket
He put the diamond away, closing the
door with a bang.
"Perhaps." he said to the four \
walls. "I shall not need so large a,
co»e of grass as Xebuchaduer.rjr."
