Tell me ali about her." she con con tinued, Tor want to know something or the girl who is to be your wife" Thus encouraged, Billy began an en- thusiastic description. and Miss Court wright listened. still with a far-ofr look In her eyes.
 "She is beautiful" he said, vaguely. and dark haired and altogether ador- able"
 'Tall." asked Miss Cartwright. whose glorious hair was the color of ripe wheat.
 No, short and plump and dimpIed," replied the enraptured Billy.
 T hate dimples." quickly decided Miss Cartwright to herself. But aloud. T know shall love her dearly"
 Suddenly he pulled out his watch and started to his feet T must hurry on he announced. "It's too bad. but l have an important engagement in town and cannot stay to tea"
 He shook hads hurriedly and went swiftly up the path and was lost to Miss Courtwright's watching eyes.
 About an hour later Miss Court wright made her way to the house and up the stairs to her room; she went straight to her full length mirror and examined herself with unfinching gray eyes. Did it show in her face. she wondered, all of her that had lived and died within the last hour.
 You fool" she said to the girl in the glass, you utter, utter fool" Slowly she unfastened the white gown and let it slip to the floor. and from her wardrobe she took simple black dimity. There was a cynical little smile on her lips. He didn't even mention my white dress" she murmured. T guess that girl wears bright blues and glaring pinks. oh, how I hate her, do hate her. How could Billy do It? But 1t makes no difference to me" And Miss Cartwright powdered her nose, brushed up a few stray tendrils of hair and went down to partake of her cozy little tea on the porch. telling herself. emphatically. that she was quite happy. She repeated the appa- rently obvious assertion more than ,nce during the course of her solitary meal.
 And then all at once while the twi- light fell Miss Cartwright found her. self sobbing quietly.
 Billy" she said. brokenly, longing ly, T love you, didn't you know, dear, love you, now that 1t Is too late" And forgetting how happy she was, Miss Cartwright hid her face in a convenient sofa pillow and cried in a hearty. unaffected way. much to her own disgust. For the second time in her young life Miss Cartwright was genuinely, su- premely miserable.
 She did not see the conscience -strick- en Billy as he emerged from out of the shadows In the garden. She did not know of the radiance i'll his face. but suddenly she felt his arms about her.
 Dear little girl" ho told her. while he kissed her tear-stained face 1t isn't too late, it's never too late to mend"
 About thirty minutes later Edith lifted her head from Billy's white fian4 mel shoulder and looked up anxiously into his eyes.
 The other girl, the one who had | taken my placer" she asked, weakly. Doesn't exist" said Billy, promptly. She was only a bluff." and he kissed her on the mouth.
