1ently unwilling to force a scene be-
j lore Lord Galorey. She handed the
list to her servant, but Dan intercept
ed it.
( Don't send out that list, Lily, as it
is.''
He gave it back to her, and his tone
was so cool, his expression SO decided
and quiet, that she was disarmed, and
/ dismissed the servant, telling him to
return when she should ring again.
Coloring with anger, she tapped the
envelope against her brilliantly pol
ished nails.
IF she had been married to Blair
she would have burst into a violent
rage; if he had been poorer than he
was she would have put him in his
! place. Lord GaIorey understood the
contraction Of her brows and lips as
! Dan reminded: "You promised me
that you would have her, you know,
Lily"
"Give in, Lily" Galorey advised, ris-
| inc from the chair where he was
lounging. "Give In gracefully"
And she turned on Galorey the an
ger which she dared not show the
other man. But Dan interrupted her,
explaining simply:
81 knew the girl when she was
kid she is from my old home, and
want Lily to ask her here to sing for
US, and then to see if we can't do
something to get her out of the state
she is in"
Galorey repeated vaguely, estate"
''Why, she's all run down, tired out;
she's got no real friends in London"
The other man f1icked the ash from
his cigarette and looked at Blair's boy
| through his monocle.
"And you thought that Lily might
befriend her, old chap"
Yes" nodded Dan, Gust give her a
lift, you know"
Galorey nodded back, smiling gent
ly. Il see, I sea moral, spiritual
lift? l see-I see." He glanced at
| the woman with his strange smile.
She put her cigarette down and
seated herself, clasping her hands
around her knees and looked at her
fiance
''It's none of my business what Let
ty Lanes reputation is. I don't care,
but you must understand one thing,
Dan, I'm not a reformer, or charit-
able institution, and if she comes here
1t is purely professional"
He took the subject as settled, and
asked for a copy of the program and
put it in his pocket. "Ill get the
names of her songs from her and take
tie thing myself to Harrison's. And
I'd better hustle, I guess; there's no
time to lose between now and Sun
day" And he went out triumphant
GaIorey remained, smoking, and the
| duchess continued her notes in sill
ence, cooling down at her desk. Her
companion knew her too we'll to speak
to her until she had herself in hand,
and when finally she took up her pen
end turned about, she appeared con-
scious for the first of his presence.
"Here still" she exclaimed.
81 thought 1 might do for safety
valve, Lily. You could let some of
your anger out on me-"
The duchess left her desk and came
over to him.
ST expect you despise me thorough
ly, don't you, Gordon?"
They had not been alone together
since her engagement to Blair for she
had taken pains to avoid every oppor-
fJ1nifv for f0tp-a-fptn
''Despise you?" he repeated gently.
'1t's awfully hard, isn't it, for chap
like me to despise anybody? We're
none of us used &c the best quality Of
behavior, you know, my dear girl
Don't talk rot, Gordon" she MUIR
INJURED
'You didn't ask my advice" he con-
tinued, "but I don't hesitate to tell you
that 1 have done everything could to
save the boy
She accepted this philosophically.
ooh, I knew you would; l quite ex-
pected it, but" and in the look she
threw at him there was more liking
than resentment-'T knew you, too;
you couldn't go very far, my dear fell
low
