 Miss Susan Minturn looked at her younger brother with all her habitual determination The prim old maid dis liked Daisy intensely: First, because she was stylishly dressed; second. be- cause she was pretty: thirdly. because she knew of her brothers hopeless passion for her.
 T can't stop it, muttered Robert. surlily.
 You can. too. I'm going to make it my business to see that Austin Clark hears about it. What right has an engaged girl to go joy-riding with a middle-aged man7 He's married. too. as like as not Those married ones are usually the worst ever,"

She had new happiness she would not even re- open her bitter memories by recalling their existence.
 Strolling along the sea front. the two women. completely reconciled. laughed and chatted with never a thought of the past. Suddenly Daisy gave a lit- tie gasp. Approaching them came Aus tin and girl. To turn back was i'm possible Susan saw the look on Daisy's face, and her heart suddenly hardened.
 But Austin. taking on his hat, shook hands cordially with both and intro duced his fiancee. They. too, were spending their vacation at Seabury Before they parted austin had sug- be spent together. There was nothing in his manner to indicate that he re- membered that foolish and impetuous letter
