 It was long past the luncheon hour when Hetty came in. flushed and warm. She was alone, and she had been walking rapidly.
 "Oh, I'm sorry to be so late" she apologized. darting a look of anxiety at Sara. We grew careless with time. Am I shockingly late?"
 She was shaking hands with Mrs. Redmond Wrandall as she spoke. Les lie and Vivian stood by, rigidly await ing their turn. Neither appeared to be especially cordial.
 What Is the passing of an hour, my dear" said the old lady, "to one who is young and can spare it?"
 T did not expect you-I mean to say, nothing was said about luncheon, was there, Sara'" She was in a pretty state of confusion.
 "No," said Leslie. breaking in; I've butted in, that's all. How are you ?' He clasped her hand and bent over 1t. She was regarding him with slightly dilated eyes. He misinterpreted the steady scrutiny oh 1t will all peel of in a day or two" he explained, go- ing a shade redder.
 When did you return?" she asked Il thought tomorrow was"
 Leslie never has any tomorrows, Miss Castleton," explained Vivian. He always does tomorrows work today. That's why he never has any troubles ahead of him"
 What rot" exclaimed Leslie.
 Where Is MT. Booth?" inquired Sara. Wouldn't he come in, Hetty 2"
 II didn't think to ask him to stop for luncheon. she replied and then hurried off to her room to make herself presentable
 Hetty was in a state of nervous ex- citement during the luncheon. The encounter with Booth had not resulted at all as she had fancied it would. She had betrayed herself in a most discon- certing manner, and now was more deeply involved than ever before. She had been determined at the outset. she had failed, and now he had a clain-an incontestable claim against her. She found it difficult to meet Sara's steady, questioning gaze. She wanted to be alone.
 After luncheon. Leslie drew Sara aside.
 ''I must say she doesn't seem espe- cially overjoyed to see me-" he growled She's as cool as ice"
 What do you expect, Leslie?" she demanded with some asperity.
 ''I can't stand this much longer. Sara he said. Don't you see how things are going? She's losing her heart to Booth"
 T don't see how we can prevent it."
 By gad. I'll have another try at it-tonight. I say, has she said any. thing"
 She pities you" she said, ma hcious joy in her soul. That's akin to something else, you know"

 Sara had kept the three Wrandalls over for luncheon
 My dear" said Mrs. Redmond Wrandall, as she stood before Hetty's s portrait at the end of the long living room T must say that Brandon has succeeded in catching that lovely little something that makes her so--what shall l say?-so mysterious? Is that what want? The word Is as elusive as the expression"
 Subtle is the word you want, mother,' said Vivian. standing beside Leslie, tall slim and aristocratic, her hands behind her back, her manner one of absolute indifference. Vivian was more than handsome; she was striking.
 There isn't anything subtle about Hetty," said Sara, with laugh She's quite ingenious.
 Leslie was pulling at his mustache, and frowning slightly. The sunburn on his nose and forehead had begun to peel of in chappy little flakes.
 Ripping likeness, though" was his comment.
 "Oh. perfect" said his mother Really wonderful It will make Bran don famous"

 Yes, it is utterly hopeless" she said, and she was white to the lips. II sha'n't say anything more" said he. "Of course, 1 understand how 1t Is. There's some one else, Only l want you to know that l love you with all my soul, Hetty. I--I don't see how I'm going to get on without you. But I-I won't distress you, dear"

 "Then-then--" he stammered, the blood surging back into his heart there may be chance"
 No. no!" she cried. almost vehe mently. 'I cant let you go on hoping It is wrong-so terribly wrong. You must forget me. You must"
 He seized her other hand and held them both firmly, masterfully.
 See here, my-look at me dearest What Is wrong? Tell me! You are unhappy. Don't be afraid to tell me You-you do love me?"
 She drew a long breath through hel half-closed lips. Her eyes darkenct with pain.

OF invective hurled at the Wilson Ad-

former Speaker, and the human race
