THE BsBE BsBEE JULY 1908

to sit with Pnn You-~ Dolly paused for the fraction of a second. clapped her small hands and slipped graceful ly from the railing, "oh. Freddy, I've met the prettiest woman alive, and Phil and arranged she should sit by you. Please don't look funereal. Fred dy. I'm sure you will be delighted enough later on. because she's the style you admire, and Phil said"
 Whats the fair lady's name?' Freddy inquired. smoking away with an odd look of interest in his wifes chatter.
 Dolly rufied her brow. Now isn't that stupid of me? Really, Freddy l forgot to ask her. You see dear, there was no formal introduction. One per son was lacking, understand we need ed some one for you. and I was about to fly to desperation, because you're so particular and hard to please. when Phil came to the rescue and discoy- cred her"
 "considerate of Phil." Freddy ob- served. grimly.
 looking so pretty and lonely continued Dolly ignoring the interrup- tion. that I just went over, explained the situation and asked her to join us. or course, Freddy, it had to be made up, and you really wouldn't want to spoil the party, would you. dear? You'll enjoy it and-oh. gracious, there's Phil, and l was silly enough to promise him a game of tennis l guess I'll keep my word,p sighingly. but please, Freddy, make an effort to be on time. That's love. Gocs- by"
 Freddy replaced his pipe, disturbed by Dolly's airy kiss and narmured a few words expressing his idea of ten his, coaching trips, and presuming young men. Dolly was getting entire ly beyond him, and Dolly must be curbed, because, he reflected. Dolly given an inch would never pause at a mere yard. But to bring his fiTtatious Dolly to a halt was knotty problem tremendously difficult to solve.
 Freddy was on time{ So was Dolly, and they met on the porch.
 So glad you're not to keep any one waiting" she chirped, sweetly. By the way, Freddy, you are to occupy the front seat. You see she's so pret- ty just felt compelled to sort of sit back and chaperone you. Do be agree able, Freddy-oh, there she is, coming up the walk. Now what do you think of my choice?"
 'Lordl" said Freddy Fox, daubing his handkerchief at imaginary per spiration "Oh, Lord!" he repeated with tragic emphasis.
 "Oh, Freddy, Freddy, what is it?' Dolly cried, alarmed at the curious look on her husbands face. Not your heart again?"
 No" responded Freddy with cool, brutal heliberation, but that woman is the very living identical creature who used to be my wife, in other words" he added, tragically, the lady is my divorced wife. You've played the devil this time, Dolly, but we must make the best of an awkward situa- tion."
 Dolly gazed in fascinated horror at the rapidly approaching woman. A queer, sinking sensation surged through her. That creature-his other wife, sitting beside him for hours! She caught her breath with a con- vulsiye shudder Something must be done, something immediately. Cry or faint? Crying could not break up the coaching party. Fainting-Dolly threw forward limp arms, and fell gently to- wards Freddy. Wise Freddy cleverly concealed a wicked little smile. and with his tiny burden hurried past curi- ous servants and wide-eyed children to the elevator. In the safety of their room he summoned his wife's maid.
 Find MT. Eliot, Jane, and tell him Mrs. Fox has been taken suddenly i'll 1 and will be unable to go on the coach ing trip. You need not return. I think I can do all that's necessary to be done" and the same wicked smile lurked in the depths of Freddy's eyes.
 Later on Dolly cautiously peeped. Freddy was beside her with cold cloths and cologne. Dolly wondered, 1 but there was scant satisfaction in Freddy's calm countenance. Surely, Dolly reflected, ten minutes was long enough for any one to remain uncon- scious. Then, with a faint sigh, the blue eyes opened wide.
 How do you feel, dearest?" Freddy l asked, solicitiously.
 Freddy" Dolly pulled his head down, and buried her nose in his neck, Freddy" a genuine sob came from the depths, let us go away. | please. dear. I-I don't think l can bear 10 stay"
 But Dolly"
 : No" she purEed, softly. raising a l delightfully."- disaTranged head, we |, must go on the very first train to, , morrow It's such a stupid old place anyway. and I want you, dear, all to I myself"
 Freddy Fox said nothing. He was wondering who the other woman 1 might be
