where he performed savage feats at
the buffet. Soon he was out again,
standing quietly at the edge of things,
and watching Gail with keen pleasure,
both when she danced and when, in
the intermissions, the gallants of the
party ngravitated to her like needles
to a magnet. Her popularity pleased
him, and fattered him. Suddenly he
caught sight of Eldridge Babbitt. a
middle-aged man who was watching a
young woman with the same pleasure
Allison was experiencing in the con-
temptation of Gail.

Babbitt frightened visibly. He had

realized what it was: business.

returned Babbitt cautiously, and with
a backward glance at the dashing
young Mrs. Babbitt. He headed in
stinctively for the library.
Laughingly Gail finished her third
dance down She had enjoyed several
sparkling encounters in passing with
Dick Rodley, and she was buoyantly
exhilarated as she started to stroll
from the floor with her partner. She
had wanted to find 'cherub-cheeked
Marion Kenneth, and together they
walked through the conservatory, and
the dining room, and the deserted bill
lizard room, with its bright light on the
green cloth and all the rest of the
rooms in dimness. There was mar
row space at one point between the
chairs and the table, and 1t unexpect-

With a sharp intake Of his breath, the
fellow, a ruddy-faced, thick-necked,
full-lipped young man who had fol
lowed her with his eyes all evening
suddenly turned, and caught her in his
embrace.
Gail, turning, hurried out of the side
door to the veranda. Her knees were
trembling, but the fresh, cold air
steadied her, and she walked the full
length of the wide porch, trying in

"Qne will be enough for me, unless
you can steal me some more of your

her, from coiffure to blue pointed slip

are looking great tonight" and his
gaze came back to rest in her glowing
eyes. Her fresh color had been height

but now an added flush swept lightly
over her cheeks, and passed.
'T'll see what can do" she specu-

"I'm lucky even to have that" de-
