miss him when he Ia gone So Mr.. Thorne
adopted . Hamlet-like pose in the midst
of his back-slapping friends and talked
freely, unconscious Of the fact that he was
paving the way for further calamity.
After he stalked gloomily out of the
party his friends began talking II over, and
felt so bad about 1t that they simply had
to do something to get the distressinc
affair out of their minds. So they ordered
a taxicab and all crowded inside, planning
to cruise about the city and see II the
parks and statues were In their proper
places.
They sang something about Mary's little
lamb and seemed to think Il referred to
young Thorne. This amused them In
fact, everything was going great unit, one
OF the young ladies thought the taxicab
needed ventilation and, suiting the action
to the word, kicked out every window in
the cab.
Naturally, the park policeman wanted TO
know what had been responsible for her
neuras thcnia, and tn, young lady replied
that her friend, Miss Lygo, had sought to
end her life because Of Mr.. Thorne. This
remarkable statement having been uttered
before a crowd attracted by the noise OF

Miss Lygo's friend the beans were spilled.
Back went the reporters to see Miss
Lygo, and there in her room was Mr.
Thorne. He was considerably embarrassed
despite Miss Lygo's ready explanation that
he was an old, platonic friend who had
heard OF her misfortune and dropped In to
ask her to hurry up md get well.
Mr.. Thprne resented the Implication
that his visit had been for any other rea-
son. He even went so far as to point out
a portrait OF his charming wife on the
dressing table, which temporarily gave
Miss Lygo the status of a family friend.
The Washington times., 1921-12-04

Lygo was equally sure they were mis-
taken. II was ridiculous! She had merely
slipped on leaving her bath and cut her
arm on some broken glass. And as far as
Mr.. Thorne having had any connection
with what had happened, that was too
laughable to discuss.
The reporters politely confronted her
with the police report and finally Miss
Lygo debonairely admitted there had been
a prankish attempt at suicide. or some.
thing of the sort, but not over Mr.. Thorne.
"A Canadian aviator Tilted me-" she said,
"and l felt blue about it-just for a little
while. II was just q moments foolishness
that isn't important enough to discuss"
Miss Lygo warmed up like an electric
toaster as the cruel aviator took in her
fancy. She told, in circumstantial detail
of his yearnngs for her, and his tropical
passion: how ne had followed her about
the country with his hand over his heart;
and how, at last, her dream Of vine

Physicians were summoned a tourniquet

Miss Lygo was put to bed and pronounced
out of danger Ordinarily, the incident
might have been closed, but Thorne was
100 prominent and Miss Lygo was too
pretty for that to happen. Their troubles
had just begun, and as the full conse
quences began to be apparent Mr.. Thorne
began to feel seasick.
