ing that by standing straight in the
narrow space he made no perceptible
bulge in the plush. With his pocket
knife he deftly slit peephole in time
to see young woman come with
quick, cautious steps into the room.
Obviously this was Miss Eyaneeline
She was painting little, her hands
pressed nervously together, her teeth
working at the lower lip She began
to pace up and down, very softly, with
tense excitement in every line. Sud

directed straight at the plush hanging.

poised himself in readiness to set out
at the first note: but she turned and
went swiftly to the front door. An in.
slant later she came back with a
young man.
"Well?" said the newcomer quickly.
She drew away from the arm he had
put about her.
"Oh, ! don't know! don't know!"
She laid imploring hands on his
arm.

l felt SO sympathetic about 1t, in
deed, that the next afternoon l called
on Miss Galbraith to learn the facts.
"Is it true" l asked, that the fel.
lows in my crowd come around here
constantly? I suppose it must be SO,
as l meet them here all the time.

Can it be?"
They sorrowfully grouped them
selves about me, and Fenson, burying
his head on my shoulder, almost wept
as he replied:
Eyes, old fellow, it is too true She
has invited every man Jack down here
to spend Christmas with her, and an
hour ago she skipped back to town
all by herself"
There was a solemn pause. The
truth was painful, but we felt that We
must meet it like men.

all in the same boat move that we

our minds.
II had been a reasonable being, l
should never have fallen in love with
Miss Galbraith. 1t was an illogical
proceeding. because it made my presi-
dency of the Bachelors club which
l had formed three years before, ex-
tremely uncertain-or, at least, 1t
seemed to make it uncertain.
Nothing was more desirable than
my club. We had every comfort, in
addition to good fellowship; and the
fact that we were all members did not
preclude us from the society of WON
en-. Indeed, it gave zest to that So
ciety, for it seemed to surround us
with an additional safeguard
Miss Galbraith's father had left her
several millions. She owned the
building in which our club was quar-
tered. The agent had called on me
only three weeks before Christmas to
tell me that we must either sign an
other three years lease, or vacate on
the list of January. There were
twenty-five of us, and we had already
agreed-it was in the constitution
that the club should be Immediately
disbanded if any member got mar
ried. We all knew Miss Galbraith,
and we were all in love with her; but
as yet no man had been sufficiently
disloyal-or successful-to break the
spell.
l caught Fenson, our vice-president,
calling on Miss Galbraith one night;
and afterward, in the club rooms, we
had 1t out.
Look here, old man." I said, "it
seems to me that you are taking
chances. OF course, you don't care
about the money; but you can't play
around fire. Why, the future of this
club depends on your keeping away
from that grill"
You're a nice man to talk" said
Fenson. what in the world are you
doing around there? You ought to
set better example"
"Of course, you ought" repeated
Van Olcott, coming up. why, had
