room to relieve his feelings. Days and
weeks OF almost constant dissipation
had affected his mental polse quite a.
disastrously as the strain of the past
twenty-four hours had told upon his
physical control, and he was shaking
nervously. He paused at the sldeboard
finally and poured himself steadying
drink.
Lorelei watched his trembling fingers
fill the glass before she spoke.
"You mustn't touch that" she said,
positively.
"Eh?" He turned, still frowning abb

glass to the light. you mean you

She answered by taking the glass
and tlinging its contents from the open

bottles from the sideboard-there were

upended them over the sink. When

you'll only let me have my way we'll

bitter fight"
Lorelei's family spent most of the
night In discussing their great good
fortune Even Jim, worn out as he
was by his part in the events connected
with the marriage, sat until late hour
planning his sisters future, and incl
dentally his own. After he had gone
to bed mother and father remained In
glow of exhilaration that made sleep
impossible. and 1t was nearly dawn
when they retired to dreams Of hopes
achieved and ambitions realized.

morning, just when the rival Wall

or decay, and gravity exerts no power
over him."
"Then 1 think you'd better make
your choice tonight"
Bob's eyes opened. II have. Don't
you understand? I'm going to stand

smile was a bit uncertain-"unless

I've run through a good deal. l don't
blame you for considering me a fine
catch or for marrying me. You see,

take me for anything except my money,
so I'm not offended or disappointed or
surprised. A bank account looms up
just as big on Fifth avenue as it does
ON Amsterdam, and there aren't any

ITO be sure, that's quite natural. But

Lorelei uttered sharp cry. Bob

Mr.. Wharton merely arched his shaggy
