tt seemed an eternity before Jack
spoke The taxi rolled on north
ward and turned into Central park.
As 1t flashed past one OF the walks
bordered with empty seats under
the leafess trees. ne turned his head
and said quietly:
Would YOU like TO get out and
walk a little? The air here is

"Oh. yes. yes" I said quickly. Il
can't breathe in here"
He sent & quick, plying glance at
me. then took up the speaking tube.

The chauffeur Obeyed instantly.
AS the man held the taxi door open
for Us 10 alight, Jack spoke to him.
Wait here for us" ne said. We
are going TO walk little"
The chauffeur hesitated a moment
as IL he were about TO speak. I could
not imagine what he wanted
Did you wish to pay for the ma
chine now, sir?" he said deferen-
TALLY
Jack looked at him blankly for
moment. Then he brought out
his bill book.
Afraid I'm going to skip" he
asked, kindly. How much?"
"Oh, no, sir One twenty-five
sir"
Jack handed him a two-dollar
bill
That will pay for part OF your

when we go back"

place for the machine 70 wait. Just

Jack scribbled il ON a card he
took from his pocket
GO ahead. We won't be long"
The chauffeur touched his cap,
jumped into his machine and the
next minute was out of sight around
the curve.
I could not help contrasting Jacks
treatment Of the chauffeur with the
way Dicky would have acted under
similar circumstances.
If a driver had dared to ask for
payment of his bill before Dicky was
ready 10 dismiss him, my husband
would have scored the driver round
ly. threatened 10 get his license and
10 do other ridiculous things, and
dismiss him instantly.
/ knew that in reality Jack had
as hot a temper as Dicky. and far
more dangerous one if really
aroused. But. while Jack had been
trained TO control his from baby
hood. Dicky had never learned to
restrain his in the least.
Ii was not the first time I had
! invOluntarily cOntrasted the two
men. Jack Beckett, the cousin who
had been brought up with me. who
was the only brother I had ever
known, was the only man in my life
until met and married Dicky.
