the first time in her life Eunice was
horribly jealous. 1t was no longer
Cherchez la femme, she felt, but La

And so you and this Miss Passa-
want are coming to be great friends?"
said Eunice one night as they sat to-
gether, though not in the old familiar
way.
81 wish you could meet her!" he ex-
claimed enthusiastically; Il feel sure
you would like each other"
What makes you imagine that?"
inquired Eunice demurely, threading
an obstinate needle with ostentatious
care.
"Oh, because-well. partly because
you are so unlike each other"
Don't be too sure!" said Eunice
vindictively. For my part. believe
we should scratch each others eyes
cut!"
wifi looked at the usually gentle
Eunice in polite astonishment. Then
he laughed. for his social training had
already taught him thing or two.
"Oh, no, you wouldn't" he said
confidently. Women don't do things
in that way. If you were introduced
you would both take little steps, bend
ing forward in the latest mode; you
would approach each other smiling
sweetly; you'd dab her on one cheek,
and she'd peck you on the other, and
you would both say: Delighted to
know you; Mr.. Stennis has often
spoken of you. What lovely weather
we are having!'-all in the key of
B-fat major with the tremolo stop

Eunice could not but laugh at this
clever little skit, but in her heart she
adhered to the belligerent part Of the
program.
Tell me, what is she like7" she
said by way Of answer.
Il have just told you." rejoIned
Wifi; you are complete opposites.
For instance. she is very fair. you are
dark; she is all artificial polish and
society veneer. you are as genuine
and simple as a wood-violet; she
thinks Of nothing but dress and
money and the social whirl, Of seeing

SYNOPSIS.

Andy Meleen. aged millionaire miner,
Is dying and orders a will drawn up leav-
Ing all his property to the son of a sis
ter, of whom he has heard nothing for
years, and whose married name he does
not know. Meleen was married years be-
fore. but left his wife after a quarrel, In
which he struck her. He learned later
that she and their daughter were dead.
The scene shifts to New York. introdu-
cling Wilfrid Stennis, who is telling his
fiancee. Eunice Trevecca, what he would
do if he were the possessor of wealth. In
the law Office of Carboy, Passavant &
Cozine, attorneys for the estate of Me-
leen, Roger Hews reports the result Of
his search for heirs of Meleen. He con-
ceals the fact that he has discovered that
Meleen's daughter is living. Wilfrid STEM
mis- replies to an advertisement for in
formation concerning his dead mother.
Martha Meleen, and Is told that he is
the heir to Andy Meleen's millions. He
wants to marry Eunce at once but she
resolutely demurs. He meets Clara Pas

torney.

young spring found Wilfrid firmly
seated in the society saddle; fairly
launched on his career as one of the
jeunesse doree; popular alike with
men and with women; invited every
where, and apparently as happy as
the day is long.
True, thus far he had not realized
any of his pet projects, except to lay
the keel of a fine schooner-yacht-he
had been too busy socially-but there
was, as he told himself, plenty Of
time.
Nor must 1t be inferred that the
glamour of these newer interests COM
pletely eclipsed the memory and
the influence of Eunice Trevecca.
Throughout that winter Wilfrid was a
constant and even regular visitor in
far-away old Greenwich.
To the girl he carried full accounts
of his social progress. sketched for
her his constantly widening circle of
friends and acquaintances, and spread
his daily life before her like an open
subterfuges, no secrets between them
And if. as was to be expected, he
developed a little of the exquisite in
dress, and became a trife dandified in
manner, affecting or having acquired
the society drawl and new style of
hand-shake, which he unsuccessfully
endeavored to transplant to the arid
and awkward soil of Macdougal street.
to Eunice and her stepfather he was
the same old unaffected, generous
Wilfrid of former days. In only one
thing had he failed in perfect faith;
he had never told Miss Passavant of
his conditional betrothal to Eunice
Trevecca-never so much as men
toned her name! Somehow Eunice
OWNED this. True, there were ex-
cuses for him, and it was partly her
fault; by her own act Wilfrid had
been left foot-loose Had it been
otherwise, the chances are that he
would have acquainted Clara Passa-
want with the true state of affairs
very early in their intimacy. Later 1t
became more difficult.
The faded old parlor and sitting
room ran riot in flowers, and many a
dainty keepsake found its way to
Eunice. But with a woman's inconsis-'
tency she wished with all her heart
that Wilfrid had shown himself more |
refusing TO let her put him |
off, even for probationary year.
At first Wilt honestly tried to main
ain the old lover-like relations, but |
vas so uniformly though good-natured-
y repulsed that at length he gave up
rying. He little knew that poor
8unice cried herself to sleep the first
ime he omitted to kiss her good-by
Yet 1t was by her own wish and
mandate that matters between them
ook this course. Then came the fire.

Now, women can never comprehend

impersonal standpoint, without being

Isn't that what you always wanted

over her work to hide the tears that
would come.

father run down to Bristol? How

may if you want to-"
mo thank you," said Eunice very
stif1y; you would better ask Miss
Passavant." And to Wilfrid's aston
ishment, John Trevecca coming in at
that instant, the girl pleaded head
ache and abruptly said goodnight.
In the seclusion of her own cham
Der she threw herself on the little
white bed, sobbing out the words:

special train by invitation of the
young nabob Moreover, Clara Passa-
want broke the bottle of champagne
and spoke the magic words, Il name
thee Kestrel" All of which reached
the eye of Eunice through the news
papers.
Wilfrid planned to sail as soon as
the yacht was fitted out, and he was
naturally very busy and thoroughly
IN his element, for he had always
owed the water. He called but once
IN Eunice in those few weeks, but
