 It was an eager young man, determined to forget his jolt in the matter of the I. o. U. and to make up for that by his conquest of Mona, who went to the apartment he had taken. He let himself in, and called, as soon as he was inside the door: "Betty!'

 Fair to you' he mocked. You've got no claim me! p

 She could not speak; she could only throw herself in his arms.
 He rushed out. And in a little while Stella took the telephone and called for Mona and Mary It Mona who answered.
 "Oh-ye -yes--yes-he's going to Try me :" said Stella "But I'm afraid of what he'll say when he finds out-'
 Hell say nothing,' said Mona. Because I've written to him to explain it all-and to let him know that he's done, the only thing that would reconcile him with his father, too.

He didn't-altogether. I'm not going to play" said Mona.
 However, it was easier to say that she wouldn't play than to stick to the resolution, good as it was. The sight of the rolling ball, the disappointment of seeing it roll into a number she would have played-it was all too much for Mona In few minutes she drew out her purse and risked, by one, the few quarters that it held. She lost regularly, and at last she turned disappointed face up to Holbrook.
 "There--Pve lost all had v' she said. "Now I'm going home!'

 Mona herself scarcely knew the apartment. So skillfully had it been transformed into the semblance of one of the cozy and luxurious gam bling dens that cater to the patronage of rich and fashionable people, and especially women, that it amazed her. A and smiling man came forward to welcome them, and pretended that he knew Mona wel though she had never laid eyes on him before. He was the 'proprie- tor" Mona had to admire Mary's ceverness.

She was not en- tirely free from annoy ance during this peri od, but her utter wear mess at the end of re- hearsals protected her a good deal, and she managed to escape with nothing worse than a reputation among the hangers on of the theater, among whom Holbrook did not appear, of being stuck [sp-of having too good an opinion of herself and her charms.
 At last the time came for the opening performance. Mona's beauty and her real cleverness had earned her 6 front row posi- tion--she was, indeed, one of a group that was made particularly prominent in some of the big concerted num- bers. This served her purpose very well, and it was certain that she was conspicuous enough to attract Holbrook's attention. She had made Stella show her a photograph of him, and so was able to recognize him sittino

 Stanley consulted little pile of Monsb I. o. Us.
