Milby flung a kindly oath at him, say
ing, I'm jolly glad she didn't. You're
hard hit but | shan't let you see her

party settles your future it's got up
especially to match you off with LOris
Denham-with a rich wife to back your
cursed sCrup!es. your hair-trigger nom

10 years"
"Oh. indeed" Hartwel flung Dacl;
shaken with laughter. Going to do just
that for Little Boy Blue. Suppose the
lady objects? Are we to try violence

she should be Indifferent to my charms

Much thanks l get for being it," Milby
laughed, then reaching for Hartwcll' )
hand he hurried on Laugh if you
please-but this is frozen gospel truth.
All you need is money-Clean money
YOU would lose out if it was the other
sort. Men listen to you, women hang
on your words-this writing business has
made you a sort of god to them, They'll
vote for you sOlid-and they are going to

flinders sooner than marry her"
Milby stared-then gasped. He had
never seen Hartwell so stirred, Here
was the end of all his fine love-bred
scheming, How should he ever tell his
conhdante Mrs Gray?
Her first words relieved him of APP
prehension in that quarter Too bad
but Loris went away yesterday-said she
had to go abroad to see somebody die,
! hope you haven't told anything-shes
to be back in the early autumn"
Then there was such buzzing, such
crowding about Hartwell, there was time
for nothing more. Neither for queries
regarding their deiiVerer. When at last
the party broke up, their own car miracu
