 "Of course Don't I know already | You, too. will be convinced."
 Radiant with delight. the girl turned to the piano and dashed into a bril- liant selection from Chopin. The mu- sic covered the sound of the opening ssfront door from the hall beyond the drawing room. Presently a gentleman appeared. unannounced, in the arched entrance of the drawing room.
 His gray-brown eyes shone with shallow briliancy as they rested upon the couple at the piano. Clinton had risen. He stood gazing down at Ellen Kirkland with an air of attentive ad miration easy to mistake for some thing deeper and more serious. Bemm sauntered over to n bookcase. Though he made no noise Clinton glanced along the room and perceived him. The girl, no less alert, raised her head.
 "Oh, it's you. Charlie" she cried. ''Then he remembers you." She looked at the guest, her eyes dark with gentle reproach. "Will how can you remem- her Mir. Bemm and not me?'
 He smiled ruefully. "A woman un- convinced against her will"
 "I am convinced of my Will" she corrected.
 Clinton burst ir:o a laugh so infec- tious that first Bemm and then Ellen joined in.

 "Such joke. mamma! It Is about Will being himself"
