only perfunctory regrets; and, truth
to tell, Hazel cared little to know the
real cause. Any one of q number OF
reasons might have been sufficient.
But she realized how those who knew
her would take II, what cause they
would ascribe. 1t did not matter,
though. The very worst, she reasoned.
could not be so bad as what had al
ready happened-could be no more dis
agreeable than the things she had en-
dured in the past two weeks. Losing
position was a trifle. But 1t set
her thinking again.
She stopped at a news stand and
bought the evening papers. Up in the
top rack of the stand the big heads of
an assorted lot of Western papers
caught her eye. She bought two or
three on the impulse of the moment,
without any definite purpose except
TO look them over out of mere curl
osity. With these tucked under her
arm, she turned into the boarding
house gate, ran up the steps, and, upon
opening the door. her ears were glad
dened by the first friendly voice she
had heard-it seemed to her-in ages,

Barrow retorted stormily. Then he
cut his sentence in two, and glared at
her. The twin devils of jealousy and
distrust were riding him hard, and 1t
flashed over Hazel that in his mind
she was prejudged, and that her ex-

She turned abruptly and left him.
What did it matter, anyway? She was
too proud to plead, and it was worse
than useless to explain.
Even so. womanlike, she listened, ex-
pecting to hear Jacks step hurrying
up behind. She could not imagine him
letting her go like that. But he did
not come, and when, at a distance of
t09 blocks, she stole a backward
glance, he had disappeared.
She returned to the boarding house.
The parlor door stood wide, and the
curious, quickly averted glance of a
girl she knew sent her quivering up to
her room. There was only one cheer
full CLEAN. She loved Jack Barrow.
She believed that he loved her, and
she could not believe-she could not
concelve-him capable of keeping
aloof, obdurate and unforgiving, once
he got out of the black mood he was in.
She was still sitting by the window,
watching the yellow crimson of the
sunset, when someone raped at her
door. A uniformed messenger boy
greeted her when she opened It:

She signed the delivery sheet. The
address on the package was in Jacks
handwriting. A box of chocolates,
or some little peace offering, maybe

She opened it hastily. A swift heart

She needed none to understand.

when the other scrambled up, he side
stepped the first rush, and knocked the
man down again with a blow Of his
fist. This time he stayed down. Then
other men-three or four of them
came out of the hotel, stood uncer-

the young fellow say:
