good night to the girl to whom drunk
en- kiss would have been a lark, not an
insult
Kitty's witchery OF him was deeper
than the mastery OF the drink TO which
he had given himself. But as soon as
her Influence was removed, WEAKNESS
and liquor had their sway. SILK hat,
dresseoat. patent leather pumps, pleat-
ed shirt, tie, watch, coins. billfold and
cigarette case all formed a melange on
the floor of his crimson walled living
room and three minutes after he had
said a torturngly respectful good
night" to Kitty, Kenneth was fast
asleep.
Nine hours OF heavy. drunken OBJ
livion. Nine hours of loglike slumber.
And then a voice forced Kenneth back
to consciousness,
"Mr Kenneth! Mr.. Kenneth"
Hello" muttered the waking prodi-
gal.
He rose on his arm sleepily. protest
ingly, like a child who begs for just
ten minutes to get awake.
Hello, Potter" he reproached why
did you wake me so soon?"
Good morning, sir said Potter. who
had been deposed from his lofty estate
as butler to the Nelson household be-
cause there was no Nelson household
and who was now caretaker- in-chief TO
Mr.. Kenneth, for whom there was no
caring
ut is 10 o'clock, Mr. Kenneth"
Kenneth rested a trembling hand on
| an aching head.

Ken was relieved. The farewell was
not to be tragic affair after all. No
scene. Men hate scenes. He felt CRATE
full to Mary, She was some girl, by
Jove!
Tea roses are like Mary. I'll wear
one in my buttonhole-that Is If Mary
will put it there for me-" said Ken,
gently.
"Of course" said Mary, a little
breathlessly. And all day long we can
be thinking we left a bit of your own
thoughtfulness with you. Ken"
But hate to leave you, Ken. Dc

"Shall 1, Nary"
"Oh. Ken, If you would"
Ken Nelson's good angel stood at his
elbow for a second, and then Fate sent
little cabaret tune Juggling through
his mind. Some one on the station plat
form was serenadIng a girl In the train.
Ken remembered Kitty, He was to meet
her at the knIckerbocker at I.
"Oh, I'd come he laughed easily.
Clothes and toothbrushes and clean
linen can be purchased on the train. no
doubt! 1t really wouldn't matter about
my lack of trunk. I'd come-but have
a luncheon date"
But when Ken kissed his mother
goodbye he had to jog his memory TO
the tune of You're sober this time,
my boy" for Marys cheek was soft
and warmly glowing pink. while the
slim little hand she gave him in fare
well was cool and white.
The train fled away to the South
lands, and Ken sped to Forty second
street. But a little fragrant memory
of Mary Burke fingered in his heart
and In his buttonhole was the tiny tea
rose her fingers had fastened there.
over the lunch table and above the
rim of a glass of champagne Kitty S
eyes cleaned a challenge,
$50 you take me to luncheon and wear
little white rosebuds to show Kitty May
what a divil We are wild the ladies' !"
Ken looked at the rosebud uneasily.
Somehow he wished Kitty wouldn't.
IT'S pinS-at the heart" said he, stu
pidly thinking aloud
Prove IT," cried Kitty.
And Mary's rosebud persisted because
Kitty Claire must see its blushing pink
heart!
Surely, and with conscious power, Kit.

had cast aside.
1t seemed natural enough to Ken
when all other ties were cut, to take
rooms in the downtown apartment no.

Clarity, were established
1t was all perfectly proper. At least
1t all looked perfectly proper to Ken.
And 1t was living!
There were long. sunshiny days of
luncheons and rides and teas and mer-

There were delirious evenings Of wine
and song-and woman. Those evenings
meant Kitty In his arms! To the whirl-

He would pay-for Kitty's car and for
her dainty little suite. for the privilege
OF knowing Mr.. Dick lie Roy, and for

But, most Of all, he would pay for
the bitter fact that Kitty Claire had
come into his fathers ilfe-and gone out
as Kitty May!
