to eats she hurried OF.
Lord Brandon was pacing the floor
o. the James drawing-room when Lu.
ellie was ushered in by the butler.
Mary was not at home but the noble
man graciously assured the little re-
porter that no introduction was neces-
sary. that Mary had warned him of
Lucilles dreadful habit Of writing
town everything that people told her, .
50 he would give away no court Be-
crets. 1t was the usual beginning,
md Lucille removed one glove. quiet
y opened her note book, and made
a few jOttings Engaging smile
typical English aristocrat- magnetic. !"
AFTER few minutes Lucille had
enough for her story" but still the
nobleman delayed her, and Lucille was
i illing to leave the attractive for
eigner. Still one thing puzzled her.
Lord brandon, she asked with
perplexity, you must have been in
NMerica before You are so free from
the usual broad English accent"
The nOblemen smiled with genuine
amusement and looked as Lucille felt
: little too eagerly INTO her eyes-that
more eagerly than English noble
len with dreams of American heir
esses would naturally look at a poo.
Porter Am | so American" he
said and Lucille laughed with him
though she didn't know exactly why
Then the Englshman look, with the

4 don't know what | am going TO
do to get you to forgive me-" he said.
The only excuse can give you is

only way could think Of | am not
at all sorry did It,
Lucille stood before him with
cheeks aname. DO you mean" she
demanded with genuine anger. that
you are that impertinent Mr.. Frans-
worth and have been wasting all this
time on you when ought to have
been at the cat show? DO you know
what this means to me-this stupid
rick Of yours and Mary's?"
Lucille had pulled on her glove and
vas going from the room, but Frans-
worth was following her penitently.
please forgive me. he begged. Let
me go to the cat show with you.
= :'Ire J can give you pointers on

n her note book she let the penitent
Eransworth go With her
Somehow the task Of interviewing
"a show promoters seemed to be mar
velously easy and when Lucille had
al the information she needed she
consented to allow r'ranswO to give
Ter points on Interviewing at a near
by tea room
II should think you could teach me
things about he interviewing game"
he said after she had answered a doz-
en- questions about her work, her am
billions, and the trials OF her profess

There is another question that |
would like to ask you. simply because
| am interested" Farnsworth said by
way of reply You are $3.50 much
the sort Of woman | should think

professional type, and you really don't
enjoy it as ! know you are capable of
enjoying things. Really why haven't
you ever married."
Lucille opened her eyes wide and
thought for a minute Mainly" she
said truthfully, because no one has
ever asked me to. That Ia the most
OBVIOUS reason.
OF course farnsworth didn't be-
lieve this though he knew from Mary
that Lucille had discouraged the ad
yances OF ali possible suitors as dog
gedly as she had ut first discouraged
his. He didn't believe what she said
and still he was glad she had said
