him"
Hypocritical June Temple! Within
half an hour she was writing Mr..
Dinsdale note to say that she had
left her handkerchief in the auto and
would he be so kind as to bring It
with him when he called again."
Mr., Dinsdale might have called after
a few evenings, but the lost handker-
chief would not have been with him
securely wrapped in tissue paper and
then in tinfoil outside. The reason 1t
wouldn't was because 1t was not to
be found in the auto. 1t had never
been dropped there. 1t was right be-
fore the girl as she wrote the note,
The lawyer was thinking of calling,
however, when he heard that the
Duke of Richmond was on the job, 80
to say. If he wasn't calling every few
minutes it was at least every day,
His highness was having heap to
say about his title, his castles ana
his plans for the future Mrs. Temple
swallowed the words greedily, but
Miss Temple found that she didn't
care much about titles and vast es-
tates and the family jewels of a Ouch
ess. She was more concerned about
a plain young lawyer, She had set
out to make him sorry, and she was
being sorry herself

Temple was alone. He seemed to be
glad to find 1t so. In one way he was
almost stranger to her, but in anoth-
er the friendship had progressed so
fast that he dared to ask for her
daughters hand That is, he wanted
permission to win the hand II he
could. OF course, he had brought
scores of testimonials with him, and
stood ready to submit barrel or two
of them at any moment
Il should be proud to be your moth
er-in-law." was the prompt answer re-
ceived.
And l should certainly be proud to
call you by that title. AS the Duchess
OF Richmond your sweet daughter
would have the world at her feet, al
most"
How grand"
Il should honor her as if she had
been born queen"
81 know you would"
"AlI l ask is fair chance to win
her"
81 will aid you all can"
And there is one more thing, my
dear Mrs. Temple. 1t is matter
must ask you to hold in the strictest
confidence"
you have my word that l will,
Duke"
my solicitors in London were to
send me hundred thousand dollars a
week ago, but letter just received
from them says it will be whole fort
night yet before they can comply
Meanwhile"
You need funds?" said Mrs. Tenn
pie.
"Ah, what woman! If you have
$4,000 you are not going to use for a
few days"
81 will gladly give you a check for
It,"
An hour later, when Miss June had
returned and been told Of the loan
she went straight to the telephone and
said to Mr.. Dlnsdale:
Come at once with your auto!
Never mind what for, but come!!"
Then she telephoned her mothers
bank and stopped payment on the
check, and was at the door when the
auto drove up.
