the precious telegram l was reread-
ing for about the dozenth time, and
asked:
You mean because there's going
to be new bride in the family after
Father Andrew arrives, and I'll be
relegated to the ranks of the old
marrieds?"
Miss Innocence" scoffed jim.
II meant delicately to convey that
Val is getting back into her old
form again and that she cut you out
completely with Shelly tonight"
"Oh-Shelly!" l cried she's
welcome--twice over. You know
I'm not much on flirting with other
men since | have you, Jimmie boy.
Besides" I concluded, nesting in
the arms Jim put out to take me,
Shelly wasn't bit glad to see me.
1t was Phoebe he wanted. He's in
venting all sorts of excuses to lure
her into a tete-a-tete these days"
Whats that? Phoebe" demand
ed Jim sharply. The kid hasn't
eyes for anyone but Neal"
Il think Shelly's pretending to be
heart-broken over the way Jeanie
treated him. Fancy that" I replied
And tender-hearte ed little Phoebes
either unnecessarily sorry for him
or she puts up with his nonsense to
keep him from bothering Jeanne and
Pat. Is Shelly cad or a fool, Jim
Or bit of both?
"Oh, he's harmless" laughed Jim.
But when two sisters conspicu-
ously drop him as Jeanie and
PhoebekinS have-even though one
did 1T for such an unimportant per-
son as a husband-it kind of hits
him where he lives in his pride. All
he's sticking around for is to con-
vince the world that he's as good a
friend to the whole Harrison family
as ever he was. Now, let's plan a
bang-up wedding feast and a bang
upper wedding gift for the kiddies
and forget Shelly"

The sky's the limit" replied
Jim. IF that gusher of ours down
Mexico-way continues to gush,
we're going to be lined with dia-
monds soon and our whole bunch
will ride round in cars with gold
fittings."
Neal too?" l asked.
"Surest thing you know. He's

The words were spoken. To
David they seemed to echo through
! the room.
For a moment the girl in front OF
MN did not move, but sat, her eye
fixed on him, every drop of color
ebping from her face.
You mean" she whispered at
last, that you are the David De-
nephew?"
Yes" he said, huskily, "I am"
oh, let me think, please, I can
not understand it,, she begged

He walked away from her and
stood at the window, his back to
the room.
outside the rain was still falling.
In the silence he could hear the
drops dash against the pane. The
street lamps revealed the wet and
glistening pavements.
His thoughts went back to a
night years ago when his father lay
dying. David had then stood by a
window in the Baltimore home and
gaZed out into the street. The pave
ments had looked then just as they
did tonight. Even now he recalled
the grip of pain at his heart as he
appreciated the fact that his father
was slipping out of his life.
Tonight he had that same grip
ping pain at his heart. The woman
he loved more than all the world
had heard his confession Would
she slip out of his life as COM
pletely as if she were dead?
With a sudden resolution he
wheeled about and returned to her.
She dropped her hands from her
eyes as he approached, but did not
look up.
You. knew" she said so softly
that he had to bend to hear the
! words, who you were when you
came here? 1 mean-did you know
that knew Miss Jeanne De Laine?"
Il was not sure if you were the
Miss Leighton of whom l had heard
her speak. After l had been here
for a little while I was convinced

What convinced you?"
II saw your initials on your bag,

towards the trinket on her throat.
Unconsciously, her hand stole up
to it,

sion?"
"Yes, years ago." he replied,
