lat. she fled to the first door
IN way until the storm should
- - pass. 1t WAS only a summer
shower. but she wanted the hat to
wear at the picnic to- morrow and she
hurried for shelter.
II happened 10 be the open door
way OF a business Block. \ fire had
emptied the place of tenants and there
was a smell OF wet burned wood
3 that was unpleasant.
But still more UNPLEASANT was the
fact that the doorway was already oc-
cupied and by Harris Hitchcock, Of
all persons.

said coldly, ~ might find some other

'.Do not disturb yourself on my ac-
count" she said colby, There is

1T will only be for a few moments"
he said with a smile. These furious
storms seldom last"
Kate made no reply to this state
rent of self-eyident fact She was
determined not TO be drawn into a
conversation.
Hitchcock only smiled again. No
sense OF guilt hung heavily upon his
conscience. He had made FUN Of
Hates favorite matinee hero, and she
had angrilys declared that She never
again wished to speak to a man who
was so lost to the appreciation of
artistic endeavor. He had attempted
to defend his position and had only
succeeded in angering her the more.
He knew how frightened she was by
thunder showers, and every time she
shrank from the heavy reverberations
he lonsed to take her in his arms and
s comfort her, but he knew better than
to seek to force the conversation when
her every nerve was jangling. But
when an exceptionally heavy peal rent
the air. he sprang forward and grasped
) her arm.
Don't be afraid" he said reassur-
ingly. That struck nowhere near
here. There is not the slightest dan
ger.
Kate regarded him Indignantly. lie
had sometimes leased her about her
fear of lightning, and she was keenly
sensitive about her peculiarity
In her overwrought nervous condi-
ton she believed that he was again
tormenting her and, at his touch. she
shrank back her face white with anger
and her eyes blazing.

Ten minutes later I left the kitten

She placed her dainty hand In his,

glance that played between them met
on neutral ground.
Or all the unstable, neutral grounds
that Fate has yet devised for mans
confusion. the sea Is perhaps the most
conspicuous. For the matter OF that,
any ground Whatsoever when fre-

protested much against conjugal en-
tanglements.
