 Mother Rips awakening came from the light that Bayard flashed in his bedroom.

 Mother Kip ordered Bayard and Leila out of their own room and when she was ready to be seen she had so many apologies to make and accept that the meeting entirely lacked the rapture it should have expressed. Even a mother could hardly be glad to see her son in such discouraging circum- stances All three exchanged ques- tions more and more perfunctoriIy. and kept repeating themselves.

 Daphne could not pump up any en- thusiasm for the scenery. Her lover took no advantage of the serial of arbors and the embracing bowers. He never kissed her, not once.
 Daphne ceased to be sorry for Clay and felt sorry for her neglected self. Then she grew angry at herself. Then at him.

 Other people came in, some of them plainly sightseers. some of them per sonages of quality. Everybody seemed happy, clandestine, romantic. TluS was life as Daphne wanted to live it. But at length she yawned Her little hand could not conceal the contortion of her features

 Daphne turned her eyes away de gently as the slip of paper on q plate was set at Clay's elbow. But she noted that he started violently as he turned the bill over and met it face to face He studied it with the grim heroism of one reading death-war- rant The amount staggered him. He turned pale. He recovered enough to say to the waiter, You've given me the wrong check
 The waiter shook his head. "Oh, nossair .'
 Clay studied it again. He called for the bill of fare, and studied that. Daphne felt so ashamed that she want ed to leap into the river. Abroad. it is believed that the man who does not : audit his restaurant bill is either an American tourist or some other kind of fool. But ill Daphnes set it was considered the act of miser.

 It was evident, from the way the waiter snatched the plate from the table, that Clay had not tipped him. In fact, Clay said, This will be lesson to you.''
