"Oh, please, Miss Warren" cried
Tom, with unmasked eagerness

flashing the white teeth and crink-

hadn't a particle of the self-con-
sciousness or the coquetry most
women would have infused into the
situation.
So this was settled, and Tom in
sisted on driving Mr.. Haldane home
on the way to call for Phoebe and
Neal. Irma Warren made no pre-

CHAPTER CCCXV.


In maze of words and explana-
tions, we managed to convey to Tom
Mason that Miss Warren and Mr..
Haldane were merely calling on jim
and me, and hadn't been invited to
his picnic. Whereupon Tom made
up for the previous lack of invita-
ton and made up a hundredfold.
Scornfully l thought that if ever
a man was completely consistent
philanderer, that man was Thomas

I've known him, I've seen him
plunging into attempted flirtations
with each new woman he met. He
always has a good eXcuse-an open

business. Something stirred un-
easily in the back of my mind as
the word business went through
it, but 1 didn't deal with it then,
because 1 was watching to see how
Miss Warren took Toms gallantry

cursions-too old, sir. Come, Irma,
my dear, We'll not longer delay
these young folks
Without n sign of pout or a pro-
test, Irma Warren arose. l could
picture the long, lonely, quiet day
she was going to have in the big
old ld-fashioned mansion where she
kept house for Mr.. Haldane. So 1
cried impulsively:
But Miss Warren-won't you let
us carry her off for the day, Mr.
Haldane? We've had no chance to
get acquainted at ALL"

word or gesture let Tom into the
secret of his unwillingness to enter
Virginia's domain. The moment
Jim limped into the portals of the
apartment house, Tom leaped from
the drivers seat and swung open
the door of the tonneau.
Come, ride with me, Miss War

the husband and wife pair are

along that L can content myself

At this reply which didn't play up
to him in any way, Tom WINGED.
But when he spoke it was after an
almost dogged, challenging look at
me-a look l couldn't fathom.
II like to have you with me-" said
Tom Mason grimly.
Then something happened which
distracted my interest from Tom and
the Interpretation of his tones and
glances. Fortunately he had his
back to the apartment and was alb
sorbed in making Irma Warren
comfortable in the seat next to his
so he didn't see what made my
heart skip a beat or two.
Out of the building, head high in
air and eyes unseeing, while her
lips chartered eagerly and artific-
tally to cover the situation from her
companion, came Virginia. And
bending toward her with an unmis-
taxable air of devotion just verging
on possession, was Sheldon Blake.
