"She's a CRATER. She'd quit you if

"How do you know"
"Her mother has been TO see me half
a dozen times. I've offered to pay her

The effect Of this announcement was

momentarily stricken dumb; for once
he was utterly at loss. Then, instead
of raising his voice, he spoke with q
sharp, suffering inclsiveness:
$50 that's her game. eh? suppose
she thinks she'll breed her way into
the family. Well, she won't. 1t won't
work. l was willing to compromise be-
fore so long as there was no tan

they'll hold on. But l won't acknowl-

Bob agreed. "But we dress 'em bet

whereupon the opening narrowed.
mo. You can't come in. I've just
cleaned house"
In desperation the man exclaimed:
81 won't sit down, but must talk to
you. Really, l must, bout-ducks, if
nothing else."
"Ducks! Adoree's expression al
tered.
Lets be sensible. I want you to
like me-" Pope tried to appear amiable,
but the effort resulted in a painful
smirk.
"Huhv
1--WE like the same things-let's be
friends. You needn't tell me anything
about Lorelei, but do want your ad-
vice about Bob"
81 suppose there's no reason why
you shouldn't come in. You'll probably
wriggle in somehow, even if you have
to steal key. If you don't know the
truth you'll probably make up some
thing about Lorelei, as you did about
me-buzzardw Pope began to per-
spire, as he always did when deeply
embarrassed. But the door swung
wide, and he entered with a strained,
unnatural smile upon his face.
"You see I'm not concealing her any
where" Miss Demorest challenged.
"Of course not. We never suspected
you, but we're afraid something has
happened to her."
II should say there has! You want

reefs eyes were flashing now. Have
you any idea what that girl went
through out there on Long Island?
Listen" She pumped herself down
beside Pope and began to talk swiftly
with an intensity of Indignation that
made her forgetful Of her dishabille.
When she had finished her story her
shocked blue eyes interrogated his, and
the critic reused himself with an effort
He found that he was tightly holding
the fingers Of her right hand, but
dropped them and cleared his throat.

more"
"Y-yes! At first she was furious,
but we've talked a good deal, and
think she does care-away down I'M
derneath. She may not know it her
SELF but she does. But she won't go
back. She declares she won't spoil her
whole life for a drunken wretch like
him, and she's quite right, Of course"
"She's quite wrong, of course! Bob's
done pretty well for a man of his type,
and he's had hard lesson. After all,
it's a woman's part to sacrifice-She's s
not happy unless she gives more than
she gets. You and 1 must bring them
together"
"How"
Pope had been thinking while he
talked, and now he sketched his plan
eagerly.

horrld," she told him, when he had fin
ished, "but / suppose there must be
some good in you" She laid her hand
upon his arm again, and Pope's sallow
cheeks were glowing and his eyes as
bright as hers.
Gee! You're all right" he said
"I'll call for you after the show"
Adoree's smile was uncertain as she
demurred. perhaps you'd better
