to the Indignation that had been slow

this was the world in which he had

Judge for yourself. Maybe you can

counted the story of the house party.
He could remember little of Sundays
occurrences; not until late that evening
had he fully grasped the fact that Lo-
relief had gone. Even then he was too
befuddled to act Neither Mrs. Fen
nell nor her husband could give him
any help. and Bert Hayman had been
confined TO his room all day Sunday as
the result of fall or an accident of
some sort. Monday morning, while
still suffering from the effects Of his
spree, Bob had returned to the city to
find his home deserted, and he could
find no trace or I.orelei in any quarter.
So, as a last resort before calling in
the police he had come to Pope. When
he had finished his somewhat muddled
tale he stared at the critic with lool,
of dumb appeal.

positive tone. shes altogether too

She was pacing the gloom Of the
porte-cochere when an automobile
swung out from among the trees and
swept the shadows flying with its
brushes of flame. AS she directed the
driver. from an open window behind
her came drunken shout; a burst Of
mems laughter followed the car as it
rolled away.
So that was the charmed circle to
which she had aspired. those the people
she had envied; behind her was that
life to which she had sold herself, and
this was the end Of her dream of fine
ladies and gallant gentlemen! Lorelei
scarcely knew whether to laugh or cry
She reached the little apartment in the
Aushed hours before the dawn, and
strMghtway began her packing. Since
Bob was doubtless in a drunken stu
por which would last for hours. she did
not hurry.
Only once did she halt in her labors
and then only from surprise In bu-
reau drawer she uncovered a bundle of
letters and documents addressed to her
husband. which in some way aroused
her curiosity. Swallowing her qualms,
she examined the contents. They
proved to be, in the main, letters from
Bob's mother and father urging him to
break OFT his marriage. Those from
Mr.. Wharton were Enthusiastically
intolerant and dictatorial; those from
Bob's mother were plaintive and inf
nitely sad. Both parents, she per.
ceived. had exhausted every effort to
win their son from his infatuation,
both believed Lorelei to be an infa-
nous woman bent upon his destruc-
ton, and. judging from the typewrit-
ten reports inclosed with some of the
fathers letters, there was ample rea-
son for such belief. These reports
covered Loreleis. every movement, they
barred every bit of ancient scandal con-
nected with her, they recounted sala-
cious stage gossip as fact and falsely
construed those actions which were
capable of more than one interpreta-
Hoh. 1t gave the girl peculiar sensa-
ton of umreality to see her life laid
out before her eyes in so distorted a
shape, and when she read the business
like biographies Of herself and the
members of her family she could only
marvel at Bob's faith. For evidently
he had not answered a single letter.
Nevertheless, after preparing an early
breakfast. she sent her trunks down
stairs and 'phoned for taxicab.
