asked Loveland.
Yes swell. well known in s'ciety. I've
seen his name often in Town Chat. And
it's about you at the hotel, too
Suddenly it seemed to Val that he would
not have the heart to read that article
about himself in the newspapers. His
sensitive vanity sent sharp twinge
through his body, as If nerve had been
touched with the point of a knife. That
restaurant. and afterward in the hall!
How could he bear to see 1t all set out in
vulgar print. accompanied. perhaps, by
an "interview" with the hotel emplOye
who had turned him into the street? No,
he could not look at the paper. could not
see himself held up to public ridicule-
probably by the pen of the man he had
ordered from his door with Cadwallader
Hunter yesterday in the morning.
Physically. Loveland was not a coward.
but touch his vanity and he shrank as IL

his imagination pictured the amusement
his plight must be at this moment Great

man Milton set the police on me?"
Nope 1 guess not There's kind of
interview with him in the paper. and he
says he deserved what he got for havin'
anything to do with a man Of your sort.

she saw little in her everyday life. 1t

beauty she studied fashion plates, and

Because she loved beauty she was now
ready to f1ing her soul at this strangers

NO I'm not that kind OF man." Val
echoed her words. Evidently the cow

before he was seen, otherwise. as lie was

having been hit from behind would hardly
have held water. VIII the police do any
