for Martin Harraden to get Annie Lee on the
phone Just then. Evidently Harraden was coming
to dinner that evening. Strange that Annie Lee had
not mentioned his name beforel
Suddenly Annie Lee Porter sat up On the sofa
and stared at the fire with the overwhelming conviction
that she had been talking to the man who was to
take her in to dinner.
Won't he be surprised. when he recognizes his
Irish beauty golf and telephone-girl' in the guest
of honor tonight she exclaimed, laughing merrily
at the thought of the horror his voice had expressed
when he discovered that he had been talking to the
wrong person.

me to let him talk on, when l found out who he
was; but it was such a good Joke; and. really at
first | thought it was a love-sick old codger who
would make me good and tired. Well. as she
slowly rose to dress, "he certainly was good-looking.

sparkled. Just behind her, to the left,
stood a tall. pink-shaded lamp, casting
its rosy glow over her bright. piquant
face. while a vase of magnificent
American beauties on the mantel bent
their stately heads toward her, as
if in homage to the rival beauty.
1t formed a beautiful picture, and
Martin Harraden, entering the
a few minutes late, murmured some
thing in a low tone to his companion,
and then suddenly paused with an
exclamation of incredulity, as Miss
Porter, turning her head slightly,
looked straight at him with those
big, gray eyes, all over her face"
His dark, sunburned face still
flushed, and his usually suave, gracious
manner was slightly embarrassed, as
Miss Porter, acknowledging her hostess
introduction, said calmly: "Oh, Mr..
Harraden and l are already quite
good friends. particularly on the golf
links"
Miss Walters face plainly expressed
the surprise she felt, as she said
in an aggrieved tone: Why didn't
you tell me before, Annie Lee. that
you had already met Martin? I've a
great mind not to let you two go in
to dinner together, after all.

composure; for then | should be
the one punished, while the guilty
party was enjoying herself with some
one else.
Il don't suppose you can be re-
ferring to me as the guilty party'?"
Miss Porter said with a challenging
glance. Annie Lee never gave me
a chance to find out that you were
the one | saw on the links, and l
discovered it only by accident"
She did not seem to think it neces-
sary to explain how or when she had
made the discovery. O would she
meet the questioning look Harraden
gave her, as they passed into the dining

this afternoon to get you up, but

Then Central couldn't have given
you connection, Annie Lee answered;
for Miss Porter was in the next room
all the afternoon. and would GER

Miss Porter. remembering the
muffied gong, had the grace to blush.
Annie Lee Walters always claimed
the credit of having made the match
between her friend and Martin Harra-
den: but the latter declared that
Miss Porter's dark-gray eyes had al
ready done the mischief, when they
had stood together beside the brook
at the Hermitage Club, as he surren-
