No Girl Willing to Wait Ten
Years To Be Won.

The man who holds a ten years
siege of the heart of a girl these
days will find he has wasted his
time. No girl is willing to wait ten
years for man to win her. And
he is a poor excuse for a lover if
it takes him that long.
There are modern implements in
the game of love, the same as in the
game of war, and every boy learns
them with his a. b, c's. He knows
how to hatter to eajole. TO make
love while he is still in knicker-
bockers, and he is a past master Of
the art by the time he is eighteen.

said. II hope it won't be in the papers
that you drove bareheaded back to the

After Dan had left her, the duchess
glanced over the dismantled room
which the servants were already re-
storing to order. She was not at ~ase
and not at peace, but there was some
thing else besides her tiff with Dan
that absorbed her, and that was Ga
lorey. She couldn't quite shake him
off. He was beginning to be tmperi-
Gus In his demands on her; and, In
spite of her cupidity and her debts,
! IN spite of the precarious position In
which she found herself with Dan, she
could not break with Galorey yet. She
went upstairs humming under her
breath the ballad Lefty Lane had sung
in the music room:

in the drawing-room in leaving, and
thought the boys face was a study.

Writing from the vicinity David

he was an habtual coffee drinker, and,
although he knew it Mas doing him
harm, was too obstinate to give it up
till all at once he went to pieces with
nervousness and insomnia, loss OF ap-
petite. weakness, and generally
used-up feeling, which practically un-
fitted him for his arduous occupation,
and kept him on couch at home
when his duty did not call him out.

CHAPTER xVli.-Continued.

Dan felt his heart grow cold. IL
she had awakened him when he was
little boy. she thrilled him now; he
could have wept Lady Caiwarn did
wipe tears away. When the last note
of the accompaniment had ended,
Dams friend at his side said: How

He scarcely answered. He was max
ing his way to Lefty Lane, and he
wrung her hand, murmuring, 'Oh,
you're great; you're great" And the
pleasure on his face repaid her over
and over again. Come, want you TO
meet the Duchess of Breakwater, and
some other friends OF mine"
AS he let her little cold hand fall
and turned about, the room as by
magic had cleared. The prime minis
ter had arrived late and was in the
other room. The refreshments were
also being served. There was no one
to meet Lefty Lane, except for several
young men who came up eagerly and
asked to be presented, Gordon Ga
lorey among them.
where's Lily?" Dan asked him; II

"In the conservatory with the prime

But Lefty Lane herself saved the
situation She shook hands with the
utmost cordiality and sweetness with
| the men who had been presented to
her. and asked Dan to take her TO her
motor. He waited for her at the door
and she came down wrapped around
as usual in her filmy scarf.
Are you better?" he asked eagerly.
"You look awfully stunning, and /
don't think l can ever thank you
enough"
She assured him that she was "all
right" and that she had a lovely
new role to learn and that 1t was com
ing on next month" He helped her
In and she seemed to fill the motor
like a basket OF fresh white flowers.
Again he repeated. as he held the
door open:
! Il can Inank you enough yOu

She smiled wickedly, and couldn't
resist:
Especially with the women"
Dams face flushed; he was already
deeply hurt for her. and her words
showed him that the insult had gone
home.
Where are you going now?"
Right to the Savoy"
Without another word, hatless as he
was, he got into the motor and closed
the door.
I'm going to take you home" he
informed her quietly, "and there's nc

Dan AWakes.

The next night Dan, magneticaliy
drawn down the Strand to the Gaiety,
arrived just before the close OF the
last act, slipped In, and sat far back
watching Lefty Lane close her part.
After hearing her sing as che had the
afternoon before in the worldly group,
it was curious to see her before the
public in her flashing dress and to
realize how much she was thing O
the people. Tonight she was q. COM

could never think of her again as he
had hitherto. The sharp drive through
the town that afternoon in her motor

had made a change IN his feelings.
He had been hurt for her, with anger
at the duchess Of Breakwater's rude
ness, and from the first he had always
known that there was in him hot
championship for the actress. To
night, whenever the man who sang
with her put his arms around her,
danced with her, held her, II was an

him before, but tonight 1t did more.

the curtain went down, she seemed to
