Gavs stopped abruptly when he
saw the man and girl in the balcony
He swung about and blindly found his
way through the dancers until he came
TO quiet, unused card room, whore he
could be alone.
He lighted a cigarette, but did not
smoke. The picture he had seen in
the balcony-Latimer fitting ring
upon Gracia MoOres slim tinger-had
frozen his face into stern mask,
while his heart thumped in an odd
way. From his pocket he extracted
small jewel case and, pressing n
spring, his panied eyes were dazzled
by the brilliance of the splendid dia-
mond he had chosen for Gracia if she
should accept him, He had waited
until tonight because, in the crowded
house, there would be many quiet
nooks-he had just arrived and he was
too late-Dick Latimer had won her!
Yet, he had been so sure of her love
and she had fooled him. Well, she
should never know the hurt he had
received.
The door opened and his host APP
peared and dragged him out to the
ballroom TO swell the thin ranks of
dancing men. This will never do.
old man." said Whyte. There are
rows Of wallHowers whiting in the
shade--just hear that orchestra! Go
TO it,"
Gavis smiled wryly and found a
partner. She danced exqui5itely, but
he felt no thrill in the touch of her
hand or the nearness Of her fluffy hair.
So he danced several times, and at
last he went to Gracia, who sat in
deep chair, for once unattended. Her
sweet face was quite pale and her
darh blue eyes were a little frightened
as she lifted them to his stern face.
She managed to smile when she
gave him her card and with his keen
eyes scanned it eagerly. Latimer's
name was down for two dances
there were other initials scrawIed
here and there and several blank
spaces.
II saved several for YOU" she said
gently.
81 WAS lafe-tOO Iate," he remarked
scratching his initials in the blank
spaces.
In a moment they were weaving
through the maze of dancers. All
the old-tfme witchpry possessed Gavis |
now that she was with him. She was
so different from the other girIs-there |
could never be another one in the |
whole world to fill her place when she |
married Dick Latimer. His heart |
thudded in RHYTHM to the music. She |
smiled once and shook her head at |
Dick Latimer as they passed him in |
the dance.
"You are very quiet" she ventured |
after a while
Il am sorry," he apologized. TIN |
afraid am rather duh fellow after
all, Gracia."
"No oh M Fob " she soid . Iittla
