when Warren turned to her indig-

you stuck around tonight. You
never did it before. You know l al
ways bring Davenport up here to dis
cuss business"
HE didn't seem so anxious to talk
business" Helen offered .demurely.
I'D like to know what chance he
had to put in a preference" Warren
returned. A little bit of attention,
and it goes to your head. / suppose
you'll have the misguided notion now
that you have made quite a hit"
81 certainly have a better opinion
of Mr.. Davenport than l ever had
before"
Because he fiattered you"
Because he treated me like a
human being. Why don't you act
as if 1 had little bit of gray mat
ter, Warren?"
Hump" exploded Warren. you
know as well as l do that Daven-
port was just trying to be polite.
Do you think he'd spend an entire
evening talking to his wife about a

Perhaps not; but then, perhaps
Mrs. Davenport doesn't know any
thing about it, dear"
Neither do you"
well, 1 seemed to know as much
as you, Warren. Mr.. Davenport and
l talked about it and you sat quiet.
Is that why you're so angry?"
You're enough to drive a man
Wild" snarled Warren, turning away
to leave the room.
Just a moment, Warren" said
Helen evenly. You tried to make
me out a fool tonight before Mr..
Davenport, and no matter what
know or don't know on any subject,
you should have a certain considera-
ton for me. L stayed in the room to-
night at first because l was hurt and
then because 1 was interested. It's
not very pleasant sitting in the bed
room reading. You ought not to have
an objection to my taking part in the
conversation. How do you know that
I'm not interested? How does any
man know, unless he takes the trou-
BILE to find out?"

help it. oh, you're a peach to take
it like this, Elsie, and to understand
so well. OF course L might have
known that the feeling between us
was more like that of brother and
sister,"
In the darkness the girl smiled
bitterly. Did she love Ted like a
brother, or was her hurt just the
hurt pride that any engaged girl
might feel on hearing for the first
time that another is more attractive
to man than she is herself? For
long time Elsie had been ques-
tioning herself on just this subject,
and she was too fair a girl to rea-
son that she herself was hurt un-
less she really was.
Have you said anything to her?"
she asked softly.
"Of course not" the boy denied.
While we are engaged! What do
you take me for Elsie?"
"A good friend" the girl said
suddenly, steadily. after all. Ted,
that's all we are 1 don't see how
we could have drifted into anything
else. Why, I have actually seen
your mother give you a spanking,
and you have seen me all smeared
up with jam. Go and tell her, Ted,
and let's call our engagement off"
And the girl, with brave little
smile, held out her ring and slipped
softly away into the shadows. But
even then, in the hurt of her heart,
she realized that it was q hurt be-
cause of what the girls might think
rather than any lasting unhappi-
ness,
