CHAPTER XIV.
BY the Sun-DIaI.

Eyes arched with fan-shielded whis-
pers, and fair faces, foreshortened as
they turned back over powder-white
shoulders, followed their swallow-like
movement. From an overwhelming
circle of masculine devotees Katharine
Fargo watched them with smile that
cloaked an increasing and unwelcome
question.
Katharine had never looked more
handsome; a critical survey of her
mirror at GLADDEN. Hall had assured
her of that. Never had her poise been
more superb, her toilet more enraptur-
ing. She was exquisitely gowned in
rose-colored mousseline-de-soie, en-
broidered in tiny brilliants laid on in
Greek patterns. From her neck. in a
single splendid loop of iridescence
against the rosy mist, depended those
fabulous pearls-"the kind you sim
ply can't believe" as Betty Page con-
fided to her partner-on whose news

metropolitan shop-girls had been wont
to gaze with glistening eyes; and with
in their milky circlet, on her rounded
breast, trembled three pale gold-veined
orchids.
Watching that quadrille through her
dropping emerald-tinted eyes, she had
received a sudden cnlightening impress
sion Of Shirley's flawless beauty. At
the tournament her fleeting glimpse
had adjudged the other merely sweetly
pretty. The Chalmers surrey had
stopped en- route for Shirley, but in
her wraps and veil she had then been
all but invisible. This had been Kath-
arine's first adequate view. and the
sight of her radiant charm had the
effect almost of a blow.
For Katharine, be it said, had wholly
surrendered to the old. yet new, at
traction that had swept her on the
tourney field. And what had lain al.
ways in the back of her mind as half
formed intention, had become a self.
admitted purpose during the motor
ride.
