she said, and he was never to forget

gasped, confronted by the possibility
of such stupidity on Hetty's part

Her answer was a smile of doubt,

CHAPTER K.
Man Proposes.

The young men cooled their heels
for an hour before word was brought
down to them that Mrs. Wrandall
begged to be excused for the after
noon on account Of a severe head
ache. Miss Castleton was with her,
but would be down later on. Mean.
while they were to make themselves
at home, and 80 on and so forth.
Booth took his departure, leaving
Leslie in sole possession of the porch.
He was restless, nervous, excited;
half-afraid to stay there and face Het-
ty with the proposal he was deter.
mined to make, and wholly afraid to
forsake the porch and run the risk of
missing her altogether If she came
down as signified. Several things
disturbed him. One was Hetty's de-
plorable failure to hang on his words
as he had fondly expected her to do;
and then there was that very disQui-
citing laugh Of Sara's. A hundred
times over he repeated to himself that
sickening question: What the devil
was there to laugh att" and no an.
swer suggested itself. He was decid-
eddy cross about it.
Another hour passed His heels
were quite cool by this time, but his
blood was boiling. This was a deuce
or a way to treat fellow who had
gone to the trouble to come all the
way out in stuffy train, by Jove, it
was! With considerable asperity he
rang for a servant and commanded
him to fetch time table, and to be-
quick about 1t, as there might be
train leaving before he could get back
If 1t took him as long to find It as
it took other people to remember their
obligations! His sarcasm failed to
impress Murray, who said he thought
there was schedule In Mrs. Wran-
dall's room, and he'd get it as soon
as the way was clear, II Mr.. Wpandalt
didn't mind waiting.
IF l minded waiting" snapped Les
lie, Il wouldn't be here now"

automobile whirled up to the porte

who is going out, Murray" he
called in surprise.
Miss Castleton, sir. For the air.

THE deuce you say!" gasped the
harassed Mr.. Wrandall 1t was q
pretty kettle of fish!
Hetty appeared few minutes later,
attired for motoring
"Oh, there you are" she said, espy.
ing him. Il am going for a spin.
Want to come along?"
He swallowed hard. The ends Of
his mustache described a pair of alb
solutely horizontal exclamation
points. "If you don't mind being en-.
numbered" he remarked sourly.
Il don't in tho least mind" said she
sweetly.
Where are you going?" he asked
without much enthusiasm. He wasn't
to be caught appearing eager, not he

we'll have to interrupt them. Perhaps
1t Is Just as well, for your sake" she
said tauntingly.
He grinned, but 1t was sickly ef-
fort.
You're the one to spoil anything Of
that Sort" he said, with some as
cerbity.
ar"
Certainly he said with so much
meaning in the word that she flushed.
Hetty and Booth came into view at
that instant. The painter was laying
a soft, filmy scarf over the girls bare
shoulders as he followed close behind
her.
"Hello!" he cried, catching sight Of
Wrandall. Train late, old chap?
We've been expecting you for the last
hour. How are your"
He came up with a frank, genuine
smile of pleasure on his lips, his hand
extended. Leslie rose to the occasion.
His self-esteem was larger than his
grievance. He shook Booths hand
heartily, almost exuberantly.
Didn't want to disturb you, Bran
dy," he cried, cheerily. Besides, Sara
wouldn't let me-" He then passed on
to Hetty, who had Jagged behind.
Bending low over her hand, he said
something commonplace in very low
tone, at the same time looking slyly
out Of the corner of his eye to see If
Booth was taking 1t all In. Finding
that his friend was regarding him rath-
err fixedly, he obeyed a sudden impulse
and raised the girls slim hand to his
lips. AS suddenly he released her fin
gers and Strengthened up with look
of surprise in his eyes; he had dis
tinctly heard the agitated catch in her
throat. She was staring at her hand
In stupefed sort of way, holding It
rigid before her eyes for a moment
before thrusting 1t behind her back
as If 1t we're q thing to be shielded
from all scrutiny save her own.
You must not kiss 1t again, Mr.
Wrandall," she said in low, intense
voice. Then she passed him by and
hurried up the stairs, without SO much
as glance over her shoulder.
He blinked in establishment. All Of
a sudden there swept over him the
unique sensation of shyness-most
unique in him. He had never been
ashamed before In all his life. Now
he was curiously conscious of having
overstepped the bounds, and for the
first time to be shown his place by g
girl. This to him, who had nc
scruples about boundary lines.
All through luncheon he was VIOLA
tile and gay There was a bright spot
in his cheek, however, that betrayed
him to Sara, who already suspected
the temper of his thoughts. He talked
aeroplaning without cessation, direct
ing most of his conversation to Booth
yet thrilled with pleasure each time
Hetty laughed at his sallies. He was
beginning to feel like half-baket
schoolboy in her presence, most oe
plorable state of affairs he had tC
admit.
IF you hate the trains so much
and your automobile is out of whack
why don't you try volplaning dowr
from the Metropolitan tower?" de
manded Booth In response to his lugu
brious wall against the beaetly lucl
of having to go about in railway
coaches with lot of red-eyed, nose
blowing people who hadn't got uset
to their spring underwear yet.

relieve his mind.
Good Lord" he groaned, do We
have to eat again."
I'VE have to dress for it, at least"
she replied.
"Pll co." he exclaimed. and ambled
off to secure cap and coat.
Sara has planned for run to
Lenox tomorrow II it doesn't rain"
she informed him on his return.

a day off on the portrait, then"

get holiday. He is to go with ua

She may have married into the nobili-
ty by this time. She was very poor
actress, but the loveliest thing in the
world-excepting our Hetty, of
course"
II he could have seen the troubled
look in her eyes as she was whirled
off to the village, he might not have
gone about the cottage with such a
blithesome air. He was happier than
he had been in days, and all because of
,Eetty Glynn!
Leslie Wrandall did not arrive by
the evening train. He telephoned late
tn the afternoon, not to Hetty but to
cara, to say that he was unavoidably
detained and would not leave New
York until the next morning. Some
thing in his voice, in his manner of
speaking, disturbed her. She went to
bed that night with two sources of un-
casiness threatening her peace of
O&nd. She secuted peril.

What the devil was there to laugh
at, Brandy?" he demanded OF his
friend after the women had left them
together on the porch a few minutes
later. Hetty had gone upstairs with
Mrs. Wrandall. her arm clasped tight
ly about the older woman's waist.
Il dare cay she was thinking about
you falling mile or two," said Booth
pleasantly.
But he was perplexed.
