LONDON, May 21.-Folks OF
London town are telling a new
story of quick-witetd Gladys
Cooper. The tram car, crowded
with business men, was rolling to-
wards the city. In il sat only one
girl. She pulled on her long
suede gloves and then sought the
indispensable hairpin to button
them. The hairpin slipping from
her gloved fingers fell at the feet
of man sitting opposite.
He picked 1t up, calmly took
her wrist in his left hand and
proceeded to finish the buttoning

took out her purse, extracted a
penny and placed it i'm his hand.
His face grew scarlet. In low,
confidential tones he protested.

Cazalet caught Blanche sud

hands trembled; his jaw worked.
"Look here. Blanche! IL you had
a friend, wouldn't you do the

He turned on his heel in the
balcony, and a minute later found
the room behind him empty. He
entered, stood thinking, and sud-
denly began looking all over for
the photograph OF himself with a
beard, which he had seen there a
week before.

The note book was put away

had never missed It. And now
there was the photograph back

And then Blanche just said,
"Poor-old-Sweep!" as one
talking to herself. And Toye
seized upon the words.
Have you only pity for the
fellow" he cried; for she was
gazing at the bearded photograph
without revulsion.
"Of course" she answered,
hardly attending.

CHAPTER XII.
Ouid Pro Ono.

Quid Pro Quo.
1t was his blessing that had
done 1t; up to then she had con.
trolled her feelings in a fashion
worthy of the title just bestow-
ed upon her.
If only he had stopped at that.
and kept his blessing to himself!
1t sounded SO very much more
like a knell that Blanche had be-
gun first to laugh, and then to
make such a fool of herself Gas
she herself reiterated) that she
was Obliged to run away in the
worst possible order.
But that was not the end of
those four superfluous words of
final benediction. Before the
night was out they had solved, to
Blanche's satisfaction, the hither-
to impenetrable mystery of GAIA
let's conduct.
He had done something in
Australia, something that fixed a
gulf between him and her.
Blanche did not mean something
wrong. much less a crime.
Yet he had on his conscience
some act or other of which he
was ashamed to speak. But
Blanche believed the worst he had
done was to get engaged or per-
haps actually married to some
body in the bush.
There was no reason why he
should not; there never had been
any sort or kind of understanding
between herself and him.
Blanche could remember only
one occasion on which their
friendship had risen to somethinp
more--or fallen to something
less! She knew which it had been
to her; especiallyrjust afterward,
when all his troubles had come
and he had gone away without
another word of that kind.
He had resoled not to let heI
tie herself and so had tied her
all the tighter. But they had
both been free as air; and IL he
was free no longer, she had abso-
lutely no cause for complaint,
even If she was fool enough tc
feel 1t.
All this she saw quite clearly in
her very honest heart. And yet,
he might have told her; he need
not have flown to see her, the in
slant he landed, or seemed so
overjoyed. He need not have be-
gun begging her, in a minute, to
go out to Australia. and then
never have mentioned it again!
Now among all these mediita-
tions of long night, and of a
still longer day, in which nobody
even troubled to send her word
of the case at Kingston, it would
be too much to say that no
thought of Hilton Toye ever en-
tered the mind of Blanche.
She could not help liking him;
he amused her immensely; and
he had proposed to her twice, and
warned her he would again.
In the day of reaction, such
considerations were bound to
steal in with a certain consola-
ton, not altogether innocent of
comparisons.
So it was not unwelcome news
when Martha came to her, on the
little lawn behind the house, to
say that Mr.. Toye himself had
called and was in the drawing
room.
Blanche stole up past the door,
and quickly made herself smarter
than she had ever done by day
for Walter Cazalet.
