philosophically to play nine holes with
her host before breakfast.
Her brother after night of ii with
Mauburn, awakening less happily. made
a series of discoveries regarding his
bodily sensations that caused him to
view life with disaffection. Noting
that the hour was early, however. he
took cheer, and after long. strong,

himself to. he was ready to ignore his

taste. Some were on the links. Some

stiff run was expected. Others had
gone to follow the hunt in traps A

why doesn't he have 1t over?" she
asked herself, with some impatience.
And she delicately gave Percival, not
an opportunity, but opportunities to
make an opportunity, which is a vastly
different form of procedure
But the luncheon hour came and
people struggled back. and the after
noon began, and the request for Miss
Milbrey's heart and hand was still un-
accountably deferred. Nor could she
feel any of those subtle premonitions
that usually warn woman when the
event is preparing in a lovers secret
heart.
Reminding herself of his letters, she
began to suspect that, while he could
write unreservedly. he might be shy
and reluctant Of speech; and that shy
ness now deferred him. So much be-
ing clear, she determined to force the
issue and end the strain for both.

anxious to be quoted correctly:
