stretched hand. His rugged face was
lit up with the rare smile that came
to it seldom, for it was the far-hung
ripple-the visible expression of a deep
commotion.
Il just dropped in, SIR" said Alan,
"to say good-by. Pm off again to

and held out his hand again. "If that's

Good-by and good luck"
"Good-by. SIR" said Alan.
AS he reached the door ]. Y. spoke
again. "Alan," he said, I'm glad you
dropped in"
81 am too. SIR" said Alan.
He was just leaving the sedate old
office building, sa1dwiched in between
modern towers of Babel, when a cab
drew up at the curb. The door opened
and girl stepped out. She suddenly
stood still. Alan's eyes were drawn to
her and found hers fixed on him. He
drew a quivering breath. Glen stood
before him. She saw his hesitation
and cloud came over the light in her
face Her moist lips trembled. Their
hands met.
"Alanr she said and he answered,
"Clem!"
And SO they stood, his eyes fixed in
hers that were blue and deep. He felt
his soul sinking, sinking into those
cooling pools. He did not wish ever

And then Glen laughed. Her eyes
'wrinkled up. There was CLEAN of
even teeth. The wind blew her furs
about her and lit the color in her
cheeks. "How solemn we are after
three years!'' she cried. Three years,
Alan. Aren't you ashamedT
Alan felt a sense Of sudden insula-
ton as though she. had deliberately
cut the current that had flowed 20
strongly between them. II am going
away" he stammered weakly and
waved at an approaching four-wheeler,
piled high with travelling kit and con-
.voyed by bis hurried but never fiurried
servant.
But Clem stuck to her guns. "Real-
Typ she said with a glance at the
loaded cab and with arching eyebrows.
Then her smile burst again. "You
can't expect me to be surprised, can
you? We seem to have a habit of
meeting when you are on the point of
going away. There. You must be in
q hurry. Good-by," and she held out
q gloved hand.
Alan's spirit was ever ready for war
and this, he suddenly perceived, was
war. He braced himself and smiled
too. Twice hardly amounts to hah-
It" he drdwled. He had never drawled
to Glen before but then Glen had new
er before taken up the social. rapier
With him. Besides" he went on,
there's difference. Last time you
ran after me-"
