 There was a question in her voice. It made me remember the evident enmitv Jim felt for MT. Dalton. It seemed that E.vvy thought l under stood it's cause, and I couldn't bring myself to tell her how completely in the dark I was about the part this reckless, tired-eyed man had played in my husbands life.

 In the matter of Nears drinking and the gracious way she had saved all embarra ssnlent over the dinner check Evvy had proved herself a good friend and a thoroughbred would draw on that friendship now.

 That reminds me-Tm in little difficulty. Evelyn. Will you help me ?' I asked with none of the hesitancy I had felt when Betty offered to help me in a far more serious case. Eyyy seized my hand and squeezed it.
 Anne, I'm only a little fluff = at least, that's what some folks think. But I'm devoted to you. and Jim is one of my oldest friends-and now here is an added tie-that adorable i'd brother of+-ours. Oh, yes. I've adopted him, too! So ask anything you Hke.''

 CHAPTER XXXVI.


 A neat, dark blue touring car was waiting in front of the apart n1ent when our quartette reached the street.
 Nothing like spin out into the country after a mid day dinner" said Jim. This is a sure enough treat. Terry"
 His tone had a touch of envy for Terry Winston, who owned the car and whose drive into the country gas matter of course; but that alarming Englishman won my un- Sy1ng devotion by his reply:
 Its a treat to have you with me, natey. Will you let me have visit with the Missis? That's it. set in front, Mrs. Jimmie. It's will be drivin one that's lot more spiffy by the time his ankle is strong enough to hold down the brakes"
 favors at him, but Captain Win ston's assumption that Jim would come into his own as soon as he was over his wounds put us all on happy basis of equality.
 More than ever I hated myself for the pride that had led me to reject the offer of help from Betty, which I now felt came as much from the that ] would only humiliate Jim if I went to her and told her I had changed my mind.

 Toward dusk we stopped at a little inn called "The Blue Dragon" Captain Winston said he wanted to telephone to friend who lived in the neighborhod and who would probably offer us the hospitality of his fireside if he chanced to be at home.
 "Td like you to meet Norreys. Jimmie, old chap" said Terry Win ston lightly. as he swung out of the car. But I saw him exchange a meaning glance with Betty and I
 A moment after Captain Winston went into the inn behold my broth CT Neal coming out and scampering across the road te9 our parking place.

 No, we won't turn you down." replied my husband good naturedly.
 Then he presented Neal to Mrs. Bryce. For a moment Neal scene d swept off his feet by Betty's beauty and graciousness. But when she put out her scared white hand he actu- ally quivered with distaste. Even as child he had always shrunk from wounds or any bodily disfig-

none of Jim's friends knew all about him. Even I, his wife, must still come to know every phase of him, to weave all my knowledge into perfect intimacy.
 When the wine glasses were put on the table I turned mine down, and then I felt ashamed of my con spicuous action when l saw him merely motion the waiter away.
 All through the dinner the waiter kept filling and refilling MT. Dal- tons glass. Jim watched him rather scornfully as he tossed off drink after drink, but the other man kept well within bounds, and that young Neal fairly hung on his words.
 Miserably I watched my brother drink his second glass of cham pagne and saw the waiter fill his glass, for the third time.~I tried to signal Neal, but he refused to catch my glance. And my eyes caught JnnS his face was cold and stern. First, Neal had offend ed Betty. Now he was making friends with the man Jim detested and drinking freely with him. And was helpless to stop Neal Then little twist of paper was thrust into my hand. I hid it un- der the edge of my plate and man aged to read it's message:
 Don't worry, dear, I won't let Neal drink another drop - and I'll break up the party soon. E."
 Gratefully l looked up and caught Evy's smile. After all she was a real friend. I felt that I could trust her.

CHAPTER XXXVH.

While I sat waiting for Evelyn Ma
 son to break up the dinner party she
 had arranged with such mysdfying
 results new terror assailed me -
 who would pay the check? That Jim
 would not be MT. Da1ton's guest was
 certain; that Evelyn and Neal would
 scarcely permit Terry Winston to
 take the bill stood to reason. And I felt sure that neither my husband nor
 my broker had money enough to pay for this lavish repast But Evvy's generalship took care of the situation. First she turned to Neal and disposed of the drink pro-
 blem-greatest of my worries. 'Laddie, two glasses is my limit and the man who is driving home with me can't have a drop more either. I think more is in bad taste don't you?''
 wisdom agreed. I wished she had said all drinking was undesirable, but I could see that she knew how to manage Neal.
 Her next move was to announce that Pat Dalton could have the check for his wine and pay the tip along with it.
 "The dinner was taken care of long ago, boys; no scolding about that!" she said. And now let's run along, for I hate to drive in with the early dawn"
 Then Evvy rose with calm assur- ance, and led the way to the dressing room. There Carlotta Sturges' evil dent desire to chat with Betty made it easy for me to manage a few minutes alone with Evelyn.
 The whole party was horrid-and did so want to give you a good time, dear" she whispered, slipping her arm | through mine and rubbing her chin l against my arm.
 'Evvy, you were a dear to stop Neal from taking another glass; I began, | but she interrupted earnestly. | "Oh, Anne. dear, I would have | stopped him from touching a thing; l but I didn't want to offend Carlotta- | Her father is a big promoter and ] l thought he might be useful to Jim | or Neal.
