CHAPTER Xxx.
Copyright. 1919, Star Company
Had Desiree Leighton understood
the cause of her maids Indifferent
manner, she might not have felt so
much at peace about Norah and
Smith.
That the chauffeur had been there
and she had not been aware of 1t
was the maids chief concern at this
moment. She was going to write a
little note to Smith and wanted to
get it to him. She was wondering
if she would have had an oppor-
tunity to do this had she known he
was here.
She wished she knew where he
lived, for then she could send him a
line by mail. But she did not know
his address. 1t was not easy to
have a word alone with him when
he brought the car to the door.
Miss Leighton was growing dis
agreeably suspicious.
To disarm that suspicion, Norah
was going to give her note to Annie
to deliver to Smith, unseen by Mr..
or Miss Leighton. The chamber
maid was not pretty-but she was
very good-natured. Moreover, she
had a wholesome fear of Norah's
temper. So she had promised to be
Cupid's messenger.
I'm goin' to accept Smiths invi-
tation to go to the movies" Norah
had told the credulous girl, land
perhaps he'll take you, too. I'll
suggest it to him-if you see that
he gets my letter.
After Miss Leighton had again
started from the house this after
noon, Norah repeated her instruc-
tions to Annie.
You listen for the boss's key in
the latch" she directed. And when
you hear it, you just slip out of the
basement door and lay the letter on
the seat of the car, then run back
into the house. Do it quick and
nobody will see you"
Rather Amusing
"All right" Annie assented with
grin. She found the whole affair
rather interesting and amusing.
She had no beau of her own. She
would rather share one with Norah
than to have no fun at all.
Mr.. Leighton's chauffeur drove
his master up to the house at a
quarter of six-while Norah was
writing the missive she had plan
ned. She had only time to finish
the letter hastily, then thrust 1t
unveloped. into Annie's hand. She
turned down the corners of the
folded sheet so that it would not
blow open. She must act quick
ly if the letter were to reach it's
destination before the chauffeur re-
turned to his car.
Shall l come tomorrow morn
ing to take you to the office, sir?"
David questioned as his employer
started up the front steps.
Samuel Leighton hesitated. "I

don't know what Miss Leightons
plans are, he said. Come to the
door while L ask her."
AS employer and employe went
into the house together a girl ran
out of the basement, laid something
on the car seat, then ran back into
the house. Neither man had seen
her.
Desired" Samuel Leighton called
as he opened the front door.
Miss Leighton is out, sir" Norah
said, hurrying up from belowstairs.
You don't know her plans for
tomorrow? the master asked.
mo, sir L do not" the girl said
respectfully, with glance from
under her lashes at the man stand
ing in the vestibule.
III telephone you later, Smith,"
+, Mr. Leighton said. Don't wait"
Very well, sir, Good night"
David closed the door behind him
quickly and hurried down the front
steps. He did not want to give
Norah any opportunity to speak to
him.
AS he crossed the sidewalk he
recognized a slender form walking
briskly
"Oh, Smith" Desree said as she
reached him, II want to thank you
again for your thoughtfulness in
bringing me my pendant as soon as
you found it. l was so much
astounded at seeing it that 1 am
afraid / did not tell you how much
I appreciated your act. l might
have missed the lovely thing and
would have been frightfully wor-
ried If l had not known where l
had lost it,"
No Word of Rcproof
The chauffeur had removed his
hat as soon as she spoke to him.
He kept forgetting that most
chauffeurs do not stand out of doors
with uncovered heads while their
employers are talking with them.
If Desiree noticed this, she ut
tered no word of reproof.
II am glad, miss, if 1 spared you
any worry" the man said, his eyes
fixed on her face. "It would have
part if l had not returned your
property to you Immediately"
Desiree laughed nervously. well
-perhaps-yet many a person might
not have been so considerate as you
were, / appreciate it all the more
because it was gift to mel mean
it belonged to-to-some one whom
lo-I mean it belonged to someone
who was very kind to me and who
is dead now"
Davids eyes grew soft-yet he
felt suddenly very bold with a
boldness that was almost reckless
Someone who loved you very
much" he said.
The words were not an interro-
cation, yet they were hardly an
assertion. 1t was almost as If the
speaker were thinking his thoughts
aloud.
."Why, yes" Desiree admitted
slowly, perhaps she did,
For the instant this man seemed
like one of her own circle.
And as David DeLaine appreciat-
ed this he knew that he must not
trust himself longer
Good evening, miss" he said,
reassuming his chauffeur manner
and turning toward the car.
The rug that Mr.. Leighton had
thrown from his kneot on alight-
ing was on the seat, and the chauf-
feur took it up and folded it. A
paper lying on the cushion fiut-
tered to the ground.
The man did not see where 1t
came from. He only saw 1t fall.
Picking it up, he held it toward
Desiree.
Pardon me-I think you dropped
this" he said.
NO" she told him. st did not.
MY father may have dropped 1t. l
will give 1t to him. Goodnight"
And, with Norah's letter in her
! hand, she went into the house.
