grotesque that she felt her lips twitch

reluctance.
He assisted her into a taxicab he

In her present mood Caryl did not
believe him. Her light silk was drag
gled and dusty, for she had trailed its
length along paths and roads this af-
ternoon. Her white silk gloves were
soiled. She felt struggling whisps of
her hair chnging to her warm face
and to her neck, damp with perspira-
ton. She wished she was in her, own
room, where she could rest and get
cool. Somerdyke, noting her change
of mood, spoke regretfully.
You're tired out he said, and it's
all my fault. If you really must go
home. you must promise to come with
me again sometime. Now shall call
a taxicab and take you to Your apart
ment" -...-....,.-.. ..,-.,..
The possibility of this complication
had not occurred to .Caryl.. She had
su- posed she would part from Somer-
dyke, as she had met him, in public
place, and then go alone to her home.
She was frightened at the thought of
having her companion see the shabby
lodging house. ON TWenty-second

But l will not allow you to do so. >
Somerdyke declared firmly. Il am not

luncheon and trotting her about the
city until she is worn out, then leav-
ing her to get herself home as best
she can. We will take a cab, my dear
child, and you shall ride comfortably
to your destination"
What could she do? Il don't think,
she stammered, that my sister would
quite approve of my coming home
alone with man.
Her escort laughed teasingly.
Afraid of sister, eh?" he bantered.

The little Morning Glory, willful no

that each blossom had its place on
