o'clock boat" he added, as he to
go. Meanwhile, if you get a hint from
billiard, it may be useful"
Left to his own devices, Boyd spent
the evening in gloomy solitude, yainly
seeking for some way out of his diff
cultles. But, despite his -preoccupa-
ton with his own affairs. a vague feel
ing of resentment at the thought of
Cherry and billiard kept forcing itself
upon his mind. Perhaps the girls in
discretion was of no very serious ma
ture; yet he found 1t hard to excuse
even a small breach of propriety upon
her part. Surely, she must understand
the i~mprudence of dining alone with
the banker. His attentions to her
could have but one Interpretation.
And she was too nice a girl to com
promise herself in the slightest degree,
Although he told himself that a bust

fiected that the business methods of
women are battling to the mind of mere

concile him to the situation. In the
end he had to acknowledge that he did
