She was taken aback, so far had her
apprehension of Harry's jealousy
slipped into the background in the
last twenty-four hours. But her con
sciousness hat Harry was not behav-

her take it up all the more lightly.

She made one more bold stroke TO

his overcoat. "You know you're neYer

said.
She stood m~isleadingly dropping be-
fore him. But though her appearance
was passive enough for the most ex-
acting lover her will had never been
in more vigorous revolt. She knew
Harry was taking her WEAKNESS for
acquiescence, and she let him take II

descended into the white fog that cov-

house doomed huge and pinkish in the

that she was going adventuring again,
