 She told of her longing for a photo graph of him, but did not tell him of her need of it as talisman. He laughed aloud at this incredible way of spending money, till she began sud denly to cry. He had no answer to that argument except yes. Then she began to laugh They decided to stop Ut photographers on the way to the fye-thirty train.
 Daphne ran out and caShed Reben's check at the grocers much to the re- lief of Reben's bookkeeper, whose books had been held up by the missing check.
 Daphne asked for the privilege of taking her father to the train, and Bayard was so busy figuring where to put the cash he had on hand that he consented to stop at home
 They went first to the gallery of photographer whose showcase had displayed some strong and veracious portraits of men. The photographers prices staggered Daphne and she pro tested, but he answered dolefully:
 I'd give a thousand dollars for one photograph of my father
 That settled it.
 After the sitting Daphne and her father proceeded to the station She stopped at the gate because she had neither ticket for the train nor q platform pass from the station master

She wondered what destiny would do to her between now and the next one.

 Destiny did not keep her waiting, for while she was straneling her sobs

When at last it penetrated my thick hide that you we, actually giv- ing me a hint that you didn't want me round and that you had thrown me overheard, neck and crop, I grew very proud. l refused to call on you again.

 'Im awfully sor-ry," she said, and her voice broke.
 Sorry" was dangerous word for beginning again, when he made wig orouS effort to talk them down.
 The crowds in the station were too well preoccupied with their own CT rands to notice a girl crying, and to the gateman farewell tears were no luxury
 Duane tried the best he could to help her. He was saving: And now l sup pose I've got to miss my train and my golf and all that while take you home in taxi. You're far too pretty to be running around loose in a mob like this"
 She shook her head. You mustn't miss your train, Mr. Duane, or your golf. I'm used to going about alone, and I've got to get useder to it. I'm going home in the subway. Good-by and thank you"
 She put out her hand formally, and he took it. Ii was like Il soft. sun warmed flower in his palm, and he clung to it. Its warmth seemed to reach through his blood to his heart and to make it ache.
