little time for such things. 'and l was
decidedly impressed by the character
of the music that was played while the

the heroine of the piece, who is com.

Wedding of complaisance with the

ciliation, q constraint had fallen on
them. Amelia constantly kept her eye
on the elevator. Men were passing
and repassing the open door, going
to or coming from the bar-room, and
their loud talk and laughter beat in
waves into the dim little retreat OF
the lovers.
AS Vernon sat there he imagined
that all that talk was of him; more
than all, that all that laughter was at
him-though there was no more OF
either than there was every day when
the legislators came over to the hotel
for their big noon dinners. At last
Amelia turned to him.
You've got the blues, haven't you?"
she said. 1t would seem that some

Then what's the matters she de-

"Oh. see!" said Amelia. moving
away from him on the couch. "Of

than to have been with me-why. of

ing laugh.
Vernon leaned impulsively toward
her.
But. DEAR" he said. you don't un-
derstand!"
And after your begging me to come
down to Springfield. to see you!"
Amelia said. Her eyes were fixed on
the elevator. and just at that moment
the car came rushing down the shaft
and swished Itself to stop just when.

said.

Amelia turned on him with n look

asked. She smiled disconcertingly. as
she looked away again at Maria

Vernon had no answer for her.
Il wonder what explanation she'll

Vernon. I'm more concerned about
