CHAPTER NXIII
Copyright, 1915, Star Company
The day on which Myra was to lunch
with Perry Martin dawned dark and
lowering. BY eight o'clock snow began
to fall and soon the air was thick with
whirling flakes. The wind blew hard.
and IL was plain that a March snow
storm had attacked the city.
Myra had planned to wear her best
suit. the same one she had worn to the
Imperial Magazine office. But she hesi-
ated to do this as she reflected that the
wet snow might spot the cloth. max
ing it too shabby for further occa-
sions.
So she decided to put on a little
afternoon frock-which, like the suit,
was of last years style--and to wear
over this z heavy storm coat. The
weather would be sufficient excuse for
this warm, if rather cumbersome, outer
garment.
Tne black silk afternoon dress
looked very pretty when its owner
had "furbished it up" by stitching
some dainty lace at neck and wrists.
she remembered. smilingly. that only
a woman would know that the gown
was a trlhe old fashioned. AS long as
it was neat and becoming and fitted
well a man would consider it all
right.
The sharp wind and the flying snow
had whipped a brilliant color into Myra
Webb's cheeks by the time she got out
of the elevated train at Twenty eighth
street. She had waited at the restaurant
for only a minute when she saw Perry
Martin coming up the steps.
He greeted her cheerily and con-

She was interested in the many peo-

She listened eagerly TO the occasional
French sentences that were borne to
her ears. Horace had mentioned this
restaurant to her as one to which he
sometimes repaired for luncheon when
business allowed him time to stop for
a regular meal.
How strange il would be If he were
to see her here to-day!
This thought was uppermost in her
mind as she allowed her companion to
asst her in removing her damp cloak.
Il know" Martin remarked as she
seated herself at the small table, and
he took his seat opposite her, that IL is
shame to let you come out in such
beastly weather. l really did have the
decent impulse to call you up and sug-
gest that YOU postpone your trip until
