 Richard went off into a spasm of mirth.
 "Amoret," he said suddenly, i've got the greatest idea. You remember that money you lost?" Amoret shrug- ged her shoulders. Why shouldn't she remember it? Suppose we send 1t as a wedding fee to Sarah. She's the one who really married us, you Know. How can we when lost it?" que ried Amoret, teasing him.
 "Oh. you know what mean, sweet heart."'
 Amoret didn't answer. Instead she turned her head away. Richard watch ed her curiously, waiting an explana- ton.
 Suddenly she faced him. looking at him in a half frightened. half mis- chievous way through her blushes.
 'I didn't lose the money after all, Dick. I found it the very next day fin another part of my pocketboOk. It was after we had breakfast together. and IT didn't tell you. So there was really no reason, you see. for our get ting married at all. dearest. except except that spent the money on my trousseau."
