friend, and it was professional eti-
quette to help keep down expenses"
For days Brewster remained at Mrs.
Gray's. happy in its restfulness, serene
under the charm Of Peggys presence
and satisfied to be hopelessly behind in
his daily expense account. The inter-
est shown by the inquiries at the house
and the anxiety Of his friends were
soothing to the profligate. 1t gave
him back little Of his lost self re-
spect. The doctors finally decided that
he would best recuperate in Florida
and advised a month at least in the
warmth. He leaped at the PROPOSE
ton, but took the law into his own
hands by ordering General Manager
Harrison to rent a place and insisting
Peggy and Mrs. Gray.
How soon can I get back to work,
doctor?" demanded Monty the day be-
fore the special train was to carry him
south. He was beginning to see the
dark side Of his enforced idleness. His
blood again was tingling with the de-
sire to be back in the harness Of q
spendthrift.
ITO work?" laughed the physician.
"And what is your occupation, pray?"
Making other people rich," respond
ed Brewster soberly.
"Well, aren't you satisfied with what
you have done for me? If you are as
charitable as that you must be still
pretty sick. Be careful and you may
be on your feet again in five or six
weeks"
Harrison came in as Lotless left.
Peggy smiled at him from the window.
She had been reading aloud from a
novel so garrulous that it fairly cried
aloud for Interruptions.
"Now. hopper, what became Of the
ball I was going to give?" demanded
Monty, troubled look in his eyes.
why, we called it off," said Mop
per in surprise.
Don't you remember, Monty?" ask
ed Peggy, looking up quickly and Won
dering If his mind had gone trailing
off.
II know we didn't give it, Of course,
but what date did you hit upon"
I'VE didn't postpone it at all" said
Hopper. How could we? We didn't
know whether-I mean, 1t wouldn't
have been quite right to do that sort Of
thing.
II understand. Well, what has be-
come Of the orchestra and the flowers
and all that?"
1.-The orchestra is gallivanting around
the country, quarreling with itself and
everybody else and driving poor Gard
ner to the insane asylum. The flowers
have lost their bloom long ago."
"Well, We'll get together, Hopper,
and try to have the ball at mid-Lent.
think I'll be we'll by that time"
Peggy looked appealingly at Harri-
son for guidance, but to him silence
seemed the better part Of valor, and he
went off wondering II the illness had
completely carried away Monty's rea-
son.
