slightly and turned to Flick. And Flick
deserted his colors shamelessly. He
sat out on the railing with Joan and
sang in the moonlight He took her
for stroll in the same moonlight.
When the girls retired the little old
fashioned sprig of wild pink that Joan
had worn in her hair was in Flick's
buttonhole. Dof smoked apart and let
Larry babble on the good old days at
college. But the next day he took up
the challenge Joan had flung down.
Faithfully he trotted after Gwen, and
Ovens eyes followed the two, who
seemed to find the very lonesomest,
cosiest hooks among the rocks to sit in.
Somehow Dolf palled. She began to
wonder how she could ever have over
looked Flick's sincerity. That was
what counted in man. 1t wasn't gent
ality and perpetual smile. 1t was
something deeper, something that lay
closer to the heart. Yet she had asked
Joan to'keep Flick busy. and Joan was
surely doing it.
1. was the end of the weeks vista
gorgeous night when the whole sea
seemed gun metal tint, and rig
orange-colored moon came up to turn
it golden. Gwen sat pensively wat hing
ship full rugged pass in silhouette
across the path of gold 1t was dark
on the verenda. She sat in the she l.
ow of the vines and saw Joan and
Flick - no. it wasn't Flick. it was too
short and chunky for Flick; it . was
Dolf himself. They came ont of the liy.4
ing room, and it looked as if Joan were
being pursued. At the railing she stop
ped and backed against it.
! "Dolf Cramer, you ought to be
ashamed of yourself Let me alone
II won't" said Dolf. doggedly. I've
stood this as long as I'm going to. Am

cub like Flick Habbeton walk off " it'll
the only girl ever loved right under
my nose?"
Flick doesn't care for me that way"
Joan replied softly. He's simply wild
over Gwen

felt Flick's presence The ship had
passed out of the golden path now. Lut
gilded.
"You do care, don't you. Joan?" beg
! ged Dolf, desperately Remember
the old times back at Richmond? How
many times did propose to you then?
| Every hour" laughed joan IF
Flick had one hundredth part of your
courage. Dolf, Gwen would never have
wavered."
Around Ovens shoulders stole
Flick's disengaged arm, and she did
not draw her hand away when he found
lit.
He hasn't talked of anything else
ever since came" Joan went on "It's
been deliciously funny He's been
practicing On me, and he's scared to
death of Gwen. She's rather - we'll
-non-committal, you know, isn't she
Dolf?"
81 don't want to talk of anybody but
you" murmured Dolf tenderly. Gwen
hasn't treated me to anything but des-
criptions of Flick's noble expression
and splendid depths.s Joan have I got
an able expression, too?"
you're awfully cheerful looking sf-
ter week Of poor old Flick Joan
said, thankfully. did give you back
your ring the last time. DEAR"
Dolf's answer was inarticulate The
two shadows had merged as one. Flick
said nothing. All his wooing had been
done for him by his rival. He bent
low over her, leaning his head against
her soft, fragrant hair, and kissed the
fingertips he held.

She really was suffering. "Oh, no, you

wanted to take her thoughts off that
other disagreeable subject. His own
sudden and unexpected appearance
had, no doubt, been quite upsetting
to those other guests. That tango
music had a wild, irresponsible sound
as If the some one who vas banging
the concert grand in the big music
salon was endeavoring t. turn the
general trend of fancy into more sym
phonious channels. He, or she, was
a musical good Samaritan. Bob held
out a ceremonious arm to the tenn.

"Shall we?" he said. "Why not?'

She slipped an uncertain little hand
