Vernon rose. He stood for an in.
stant looking at Amelia. but she
glanced at him only casually.
Il suppose. Amelia. l shall see you
later In the morning."
Il suppose SO. Mr.. Vernon" she said.
But pray do not let me keep you from
rejoining your companion" She was
quite airy. and lifted her coffee cup
with one little finger Quirked up high
er than he had ever seen It before.
He went back to where Miss Greene
sat. and where his breakfast lay.

himself. 1--WE had a time!"

Greene.
She was just touching her napkin to
her lips with final air. She carefully
pushed back her chair. and rose from
the table.
Il beg your pardon" he stammered,
getting up himself. I'm see you after

Miss Greene bowed. Then she left
the dining room.

At him pityingly.

great stays. Z" can make allowances.
Of course. / know something Of the

She paused that Vernon might COM
prehend to the fullest her marvellous
magnanimity.
But at the same time 1t has been
hard on poor little Amelia. I saw no
other way than to bring her down.
You must go to her at once"
She turned toward Braidwood and
Porter. still standing where she had
left them.
When you have done. I'll see you
with reference to this miserable reso-
luton; but that can wait till we are at
the capitol. This other matter comes
first. of course"
She SMILED with fat sweetness.
"And, Morley" she said. order two
carriages for us at ten o'clock. You
may drive to the capitol with u.s."
And she went away.

turning the whole matter over In his
mind he came to the conclusion that
he must deal with these complications
