The next day her fears of Wetherell
and of Leila were relSindled. She went
down to ask Bayard to help her trace
Clay. Bayard was out and Leila was
on the point of leaving. She was
dressed in her killingest frock and
hat and generally accoutered for con-
quest.
"Aren't we grandi' Daphne cried

answered, with a challenging def

Daphne disapproved and felt afraid ;
but when Bayard came in unexpect-
edly early and asked for Leila Daphne
lied Inevitably and said she did not
know where she was.
She tried to be casual about it, but
Bayard caught fire at once. He was
ALREADY in a state of tindery irri-
liability, and Daphne's efforts to re-
assure him as to Leila's innocence of
any guile only angered him the more.
He kept leaning out of the window
and staring down into the street. FL
nally, espying Leila in Wetherell's
car when it approached the apart
ment house. he dashed to the elevator
and met the two at the curb.
When Leila got out she was startled
to see him standing at her elbow.
There was nothing for her to do but
make the innoductions.

lhim. And this was rather for his sake
than Leila's.
Leila was just informing Bayard
that the butcher had delivered the
mornings order no farther than the
freight elevator, and instructed his
hoy to send the meat up only after
the money came down.
Bayard had no money and the cha
grin of his situation was bitter. He
snarled at Leila ssTell the cub to take

Leila dismissed the boy with a
lfaint-hearted show of indignation.
Then she came back and said. "And
now we have no meat to eat"
Bayard was reduced to. philosophy,
the last resort of the desperate:
'.Well, the vegetarians say we ought
never to eat meat, anyway. We're
lpoor, but, my Lord!. we're in grand

They sat down to a pitiful meal

more than the raw turnips and cold

fetched what victual there was.
After the meal Bayard shrugged
into his oyercoat and left without

Daphne and Leila went out to the
/ kitchen, set the dishes in the pan,
and the pan under the faucet. Leila
turned on the hot water. Daphne was
glad to be at work.

Already Leila had gained the wealth

collision and the return to Yonkers

tage of the situation to interpolate:
"Good heavens! How could you?
You of all people! And with Tom

i Daphne knew that she had no right
to reproach Leila for having known
Wetherell in Newport. She had no
right even to suspect that Leila had
overstepped any of the bounds of pro-
priety. And still she was not con-

"Weil, big, strapping fellow like

on his patriotism. He drew himself
up with an unconsciously military au-.
tomatism and said, II fancy I'm doing
as much service here as could do
over there"
"More, perhaps" Bayard sneered.
with contemptuous irony. sBut that's
your business, not mine. Mrs. Kip is
my business and don't intend to have
her subjected to your-your atten-
tions. I'm trying to be neutral, but
by Well, I've warned you. Good

Bayard Joined Leila in the vestibule
and they went up in the elevator to-
gether. She waited till they were in
their own apartment before she de-
manded an account of the converse
ton.
He told her in rage and she flew
into another. She divided her wrath
between Bayard and Daphne. There
was enough for both. Daphne tried
to escape, but. being cornered. pro-
ceeded to fight back, whereupon Leila
denounced her to Bayard and told of
her ride with Duane.
1t was right good fight and getting
well beyond the bounds of discretion
when the telephone announced that
Clay Wimburn was calling.
Nobody imaginable would have been
welcome in that battlefield, bnt Clay
seemed peculiarly i'll timed. Bayard
went to the telephone and called
down:
"Tell him we're out"
"Yes sir"
Evidently the telephone was taken
from the hallman's hand, for Clay's
voice roared in Bayard's ear:
II hear you, you old villain. know
you're in, and I'm coming up. It's a
matter of life and death. I'm on my
way up now

Wetherell came close and said:
did he say Mrs. Kipf I can't see
you, but hope you are the fascinat-

you forgotten me so soon?n
II am Miss Kip" said Daphne.
"Oh, so sorry! l don't mean that,
either. But my Mrs. Kip was a siren
Leila was her first name. called
her De-leila, you see. And she called
me Samson. She was a."
"She is my brothers wife," said
Daphne.
ooh. you don't tell me!n. Wetherell
gulped, and his abrupt silence was full
of startling implications that alarmed
Daphne, angered Duane, and threw
Wetherell into confusion.
Duane helped Daphne to alight from
the derelict and transferred her to
the other car, where Wetherell intro
duced them to a mass Of shadow
whose name, "Mrs. Bethany meant
nothing to Daphne and everything to
Duane.
Duane arranged to have a wrecking
crew sent out to his roadster, and
chartered touring car and chauf-
feur for the trips into New York.
| He sat back with Daphne and MUIR
INJURED prayers for forgiveness be-
cause of the dangers he had carried
her into and for the things he had
said. Daphne's nerves had been
overworked. She had been rushed
from adventure to adventure of soul
and body. She had been invited to
enter a career of gorgeous sin, and
she had been swept along the edge OF
q fearful disaster.
Mrs. Chivvis met Daphne at the
door. Her recent affection had turned
again to scorn, and she glowered at
Daphne. who crept to her room in
hopeless acceptance of the role of adj
ventures.
Tired as she was she could not
sleep. The clangor Of the morning
called her to the window. A gray day
broke on weary town. The prob
lem of debt and food and new clothes
dawned again. Everything was gray
before her.
Wisdom whispered her to take
Duane at his word and try the great
adventure. How could 1t bring her
to worse confusion than she found
about her now? And then the morn
ing mail arrived and brought her a
large envelope addressed In strange
hand. She opened it and took from it
a sheaf of photographs.
Her fathers image a dozen times
repeated lay before her. The I'M
touched proofs omitted never a line,
never a wrinkle. One of the pictures
looked straight at her. She recalled
that once she had stood back of the
photographer and her father had
caught her eye and smiled just as the
bulb was pressed.
She made him smile like that. What
would his expression be when he
learned that she had "listened to rea-
son." ceased to be his daughter, and
become Tom Duane's-
She shuddered back from the word
and the thought. She forgot both in
the joy of reunion with her father.
All the philosophers and VISIONS and
luxuries were answered by the logic
of that smile.
She lifted his pictured lips to hers
with filial eagerness and her tears
battered ruinously on the proof. She
