 That made a change Two months went by. bringing hot September. and uninterrupted dullness. The dull ness looked out of Hartley's brown eyes and lurked in the tense set of his jaw. Anabel had gone to the coun- try or the seaside. or somewhere. Hartley did not know where. He had no interest in events that did not con cern bim. He took things as they were, and kept close within himself. His law practice was unusually slack at that season. He was bored with life In general. and with himself in par ticular.

Hartley Fillmore was appalled, by what he had done He remembered now. with s burning that seemed to she had not called him a boor; she had only implied that he was one. with such a cutting delicacy that the wound 10 his sensibiIities was as in- tangible as it was deep
 He deserved 1t; that was the worst. The outspoken. rugged side of his na. ture. which rebelled against what he called the ''insincerity of human in tercourse." had made him rash enough to midjudge Anabel What he had supposed was an affected surprise in her attitude toward his proposal of marriage had angered him for the mo ment. He was cool enough now; q very chilling penitence had crept over him. even before be threw open his coat to the cool night air. And he traversed the street at dashing speed. as if trying to escape from his humiliation.
 The conviction that he had accused Anabel of subterfuge and pTeteuse was more unbearsble, even, than to feel that he had betrayed streak of cloddishness and unrestraint fiji his own makeup. It had seemed so ab- surd 10 him. that Anabel should need to think 1t over-their relations--to reconsider her feelings for him. Why she had conveyed to him in thou sand ways.
 Not until after he had spoken did he realize that a woman of Anabel's type is never actually prepared for the supreme declaration of her lover. And to think that he had construed her halting. her confusion as an sf- fectation
 Now he admitted with anguish that her nature was too exquisite for his; this AnabeI with her softly curved liPs, her chin that was delicately firm, the touch of rich wine in her hair, and the luminous mystery of her eyes

The man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo" and gave occasion for the song was not named Wells" and he was not an Englishman. He was an American. knew him well. and soon after the event had from his own lips the whole story.
 He came 10 Monte Carlo with a good deal of money won at draw poker in a club at Paris. and went away richer by some s20000 than he came
 The catch line of the song is mis- leading. There is no such thing as breaking the bank at Monte Carlo" This particular player won so fast up- on two or three rolls" that the table at which he played had to suspend until it could be replenished by au- other bank" perhaps five minutes In point of time. There are some 20 tables Just how one man could play at more than one Of them at one time a foreign correspondent" but only a foreign correspondent" might explain to the understanding of the hayseeds and the satisfaction of the horse marines
