gaudy and his voice just a shade too
loud. Jim hoped, with all the sin.

garet would notice the change.
Suddenly he espied them walking
slowly up the lane. He noticed with
sigh Of relief, they were walking far
ther apart than the occasion demand
ed, and as they drew nearer the club
he noticed, too, that Margaret's head
was held a little higher than usual,
and that her eyes were turned away
from her companion.
Jim arose as they approached the
porch and offered his arm to Margaret.
With brief nod at Dick, she accepted
the proffered arm and accompanied
her escort up "Auf Wiedorsehn," and
together they glided around the pol
ished floor. When the dance was con-
cluded, Jim led the way to the swing
ing seat on the porch.
"Well?" he said questioningly.
"Well, what?"
you said that you would give me
your answer after you had seen Dick
again. You've seen him, haven't you?"
Just the shadow of smile played
about her mouth.
Eyes, he's rather good.loOking, isn't
he?" she parried.
Jim's spirits sank suddenly.

swered honestly. "a blame sight more

Jim glanced at her quizzlcally, but
her face was impassive.

"Surely my question deserves an an

Graydon, an actress in New York, and
had asked her to marry him"
What about his promise to you?"
"He had forgotten all about it."
For moment Jim was silent; then
he ventured a glance at the girl beside
him. The old I.don't-care look was in
her eyes.
What do you think about it," he
asked.
Margaret tossed her head contempt
uously in the irresistible manner
which had first attracted Jim.
"Oh," she answered evenly, 81 don't

She tried to glance away, but Jim,
suddenly bold, took her cheeks in his
hands and faced her about until she
looked fairly at him.

He smiled grimly Only the day
before he had told Margaret that life
without her would be hardly worth
the living. The scene came before him
now with startling vividness. They had
boon sitting on the steps Of her house;
the moon had risen early, and one

the thick foliage of the spreading oak
over the porch and had crowned Mar

He had somehow managed to live

had called at Margaret's home in his

smile in her eyes. She had acted
