The answering fire burned in his
face; she met his eyes, and twice her
own fell before their message.
He leaned forward, elbows on the
table, hot face between his hands; a
careless .ttitude for others to observe,
but a swift glance warned her what
was COMMISSIONING in a low, casual
voice, checked at intervals as though
he were swallowing.
"You are the most splendid girl I
ever knew" He dropped one hand
and picked up flower that had slipped
from her finger bowl "You are the
only person in the world who will not
think me crazy for saying this. We're
a headlong race. VIII you marry

She bent her head thoughtfully,
pressing her mouth to her clasped fin

He waited, apparently hypnotized by
the beauty of the car ceiling. Then:
''Of course, if you were not going to

go into family matters"
'No, of course not" she murmured
So he gave her brief outline OF his
own affairs, and she listened with
bent head until there came the pause
which was her own cue.
"Why do you tell me this?" she asked,
innocently.
"It-it-why, because I love you"
On common ground once more, she
prepared for battle, but to her eonster-
