A wave Of red dyed her face. and,
in a tone more passionate than she

to Ruggles;

CHAPTER XIV.
Ruggles' Offer.

He felt as he waited for her in that
fower-flled room, for she had recoy-
cred from her distaste for flowers, as
he glanced at the photographs of wom-
en- like herself in costumes more or
less frank, more or less vulgar, he
felt as though he wanted 10 knock
down the walls and let in a big view
Of the west-of Montana-of the hills.
With such a setting he thought he
could better talk with the lady whom
he had come TO see.
Ruggles held an unlighted cigar be-
tween his fingers and goosefesh rose
all over him. His glasses bothered
him. He couldn't get them bright
enough, though he polished them half
a dozen times on, his silk handker-
chief. His clothes felt too large. He
seemed to have shrunken. He mcist-
ened his lips, cleared his throat, tried
TO remember what kind of fellow he
had been at Dams age. At Dams age
he was selling a suspender patent on
the road, supporting his mother and
his sisters-hard work and few temp
tations; he was too tired and too
poor.
Miss Lane kept him waiting ten
minutes, and they were hours TO her
guest. He was afraid every minute
that Dan would come in. The thoughts
he had gathered together, the plan of
action. disarranged itself in his mind
every time he thought of the actress.
He couldn't forget his vision of her
on the stage or at the Carlton. where
she had sat opposite them and be-
witched them both When she came
into the sitting-room at length, he
started so violently that he knocked
over a vase of flowers, the water
trickling all over the table down on
to the floor.
She had dazzled him before the foot
lights, charmed him at dinner and it
was singular to think that he knew
how this dignifled, quiet creature
looked in ballet clothes and in a
dinner dress, whose frankness had
made him catch his breath. 1t was
a third woman who stood before
Ruggles now. He had to take her into
consideration. She had expected him.

not climbed to her starry position
without having acquired knowledge
Of men, and it was the secret of her
success. She showed il in the dress
in which she received her visitor. She
wore q short walking skirt of heavy
serge, simple shirtwaist belted
around, a sailor hat on her beautiful
little head. She was unjeweled and
unpainted, very pale and very sweet
1t IL had not been for the marks of
fatigue under her eyes, she would not

her left hand a single diamond, clear
as water. caught the refracted light.
"How-de-do? Glad you are back
again"
She gave him a big chair and sat
down before him smiling. Leaning
her elbows on her knees, she sank
her face upon her hands and looked
at him, not coquettishly in the least.
but as a child might have looked.
From her small feet to her golden
head she was utterly charming
Ruggles made himself think of Dan.
Miss Lane spoke slowly, nodding
toward him, in her languid voice. It's
no use, Mr.. Ruggles. no use"
Holding her face between her hands.
her eyes gray as winters seas and as
profound, she looked at him intently;
then, in a flash, she changed her po-
sition and instantly transformed her
character. He saw that she was a

know about me? What? What? You
have seen me dance and heard me
sing"
And he interrupted her.
"Ten times, and you are a bully
dancer and a bully singer, but you do
other things than dance and sing.
There is not a man living that would
want to have his mother dress that
way"
She controlled a smile. Never
different about that sort of thing. You
have seen me at dinner with your boy,
as you call him, and you can't say
that l did anything but ask him to
help the poor. / haven't led Dan on.
l have tried to show him just what
you are making me go through now"
If she acted we'll and danced well,
it was hard for her to talk. She was
evidently under strong emotion and it
needed her control not to burst into
tears and lose her chance.
"Of course, / know the things you
have heard OF course, ] know what
is said about me"-and she stopped

were true. Looking at her as he did.
watching her as he did, there was in
him a feeling so new. so troubling
that he found himself more anxious to
protect her than 10 bring her to JUS
tice.
There are worse, far worse women
than am, Mr. Ruggles. ] will never
do Dan any HARM"
Here her visitor leaned forward and
put one of his big hands lightly over
one Of hers, patted it moment, and
said:
