hat, reminded her who he was. Elsie
hayden was at once amused and in
terested. She was tired of society
life, and she had begun to suspect
that she was in love with Mr.. Gerald
Lomax, who had been reported in the
newspapers several times as paying
her attention.
The result of that conversation was
that Billy was invited to call at the
hotel. Miss Elsie had a plan in mind
She wanted to discover whether Ger
aid loved her, by the simple process
of trying to make him jealous.
She timed Billy's second visit so
that it should coincide with GeraId's
regular Sunday trip to Atlantic City,
and for an hour the two men sized
each other up, while Miss Elsie chat
ted amiably and impartially with each
in turn, and both together.
Billy was the first to leave and
something which might have been
called a scene" in less exalted cir.
cles happened afterward. The next
time Billy called Miss Elsie was more
encouraging than ever. That was
the beginning of week of ecstacy
for the young fellow. They went for
long country walks, they swan and
drove, they patronized theaters and
all the amusements. And presently
the inevitable society item found it's
way into the New York papers.
"Rumor has it that Mr.. William |
Durham and Miss Elsie Hayden will |
shortly announce their engagement"
Billy read the item and turned |
white with indignation. He went !
straight to Miss Elsie's. hotel and |
slapped the newspaper down on the |
table before her.

in he said, ''but 1 want to make it |
true Will you, dear?"

and had taken alarm, looked scorn-

thing Of the world" Miss Elsie an
swered.
Billy went away to learn. Then
she regretted her words. The fact
was that she had received a letter:
from her father that morning de-,
handing pointedly to know what.
she was doing fooling with one of his.
clerks at Atlantic City" He also de-.
manded that she go home.
Elsie went home, and hard week
followed. There was Mr.. Lomax, ex-
postulating and indignant, and her
father, furious, at the publicity.
Three days later, when Billy got
back to his lodging, he found letter
stating that his services would no
longer be required in the insurance
office.
Now ninety-nine men out of hun
dred would have whistled and gone
out to look for a Job. But Billy's alb
surd faith took him right round to
the house on Madison avenue. AS
Mr. Hayden had no expectation of
seeing him again, he had left no in
structions with the butler concerning
him. So Billy, walking in, found
himself in the midst of animated fam
lily scene. .......
