he no longer cared to put forth defi- mite effort to secure girl.
 Any letter for me7 I was half ex- pectlng one?" queried Eve. her thoughts on Julian Vandaveer. Julian would be gratlfied that she had en- gineered this engagement. Dear. fascinating, tickle. untrustworthy Julian! Dicks diamond---she had quite forgotten it! In carrying out Julian's wishes, she had forgotten the very "raison detre" of the affair!
 "A telegraml" said Mary Drew. She handed Eve the yellow envelope. Eve opened 1t in the presence of her new-made fiance. A sparkle came to her eye and a flush to her face as she perused it's contents. Its from Julian--he couldn't come today-he's coming down tomorrow s
 Bellairs gave a sort of snort.
 The dickens he is! He can just wait till I've asked him! I've told you so already. Eve! As for that queer black chap--the soft-footed Cingalee-Pll throw him out if he dare put his black nose inside my door-confound the fellow!" l This statement was not promising to the course of loves young dream But Eve had sufficient aplomb in her com position not to argue out the question.
 l She shrugged her shoulders.
 "Oh. I don't care. He's not my friend" This was fib--but neces- sary, she told herself. Dicks sus- picions mustn't be aroused at this early date-not until her slim fin gers. anyhow, had grasped the re- ward of her endeavor.
 Bring us a bite of supper. I'm just famishing." Her remark was gen eral-but her eyes were fixed on Mary Drew.
 The servants have all gone off to bed" said Mary simply, rising to her

Dick Calardin stayed the night at the White Lodge on the occasion of his engagement with Eve Rochester. The hour was very late--or early.
 Eyes guardian and the guardians aunt were all smiles and welcome.
 But probably no more thoroughly miserable man had slept under that roof before.
 The word sleep" is inappropriate. Dick scarcely slept at all All night long the vision of Mary Drew's pale, proud little face rose up before him.
 She had congratulated him. too, on his engagement. She had even smiled "a queer. unfathomable little smile that hurt Dick to the very core.
 He wanted desperately to have a word alone with her. But Eve saw to it that he could not have that wordl
 Miss Eve was making hay while the sun shone. She was adopting all the proprietary little airs and graces of the officially-engaged, shortlyto married girl.
 Darlington Bellars had been ex- traordinarily affable. Dick couldn' understand the reason of that affa- bility.
 He thought of Eve as the cher ished, much spoiled ward of the rich man. He could not know that the financier was weary of his ward and her perpetual demands upon his in- come and his temper
 When is the wedding going to be?" was one of the first remarks the man had made.
 ha u~rfthHd Tho fnll meaning of the step that he had taken came home to him with the question of immediate marriage.
 Dick had not answered But Bel lairs' aunt-full of archness-had cut in:
 What say is that he'd better hurry! A girl with as many ad- mirers as our Eve--why! it isn't safe to make the least delay!' Some other suitor may snap her upl"
 A hope flashed through the newly engaged young mans head that this might actually occur! It was not quite a bridegroom thought!
 It was with feeling of extraordi- nary relief. then, that he heard Eve say:
 "Oh, Dick and l don't intend to rush into an immediate marriage, " e We EOL to get lO hnOW ShSh CShNA better first Marry in haste-you know the proyerb.
 Bellairs here shot a sharp glance at his frivolous little ward. He had a shrewd suspicion how the land lay! Neither one nor the other or this supposedly happy pair was in the throes of love.
 Eve was after the reward that he had promised her. It had been caddish offer--he admitted that to himself But he had his own axe to grind.
 If Dick Calardin was going to hang about the house-and presumably, m his capacity as Eyes lover, he would "hang''--then it would be expedient to remove Mary Drew to town, out of the orbit of Dicks destinations.
 Oh, if Mary would only consent to an immediate marriage, all this plot ing would be unnecessary
 Darlington Bellairs told himself that he was getting to the age where

 Bellairs' aunt was jealous of Mary. She knew her nephew's infatuation for the girl. Though jealous, there fore, 1t behooved her to be civil.
 Do go, my dear" She attempted graciousness that she did not feel.
 And Mary glad of the excuse and respite, left the little company.
