1t was the check she was look

down and looked at it, this ticket
for the world, for the open road
to boundless adventure.
"Good lor'!' she said simply.

herself presently, "T'd better go

She-who had previously re-

gloriously accorded the oppor-

sudden thought lent her energy
and will to awake from the dream
and put on shoes and hat. 1t was
after nine when she arrived at the
office.
She was told she had to see the
manager, and, going through to
his private room, stood before
him. The manager, who had al
ready lighted a cigarette and
whose straw hat was pushed to
the back of his head, and not off,
because he had only recently come
in, sat.

"Oh" A solution occurred.

"Oh! What's he?"
"A doctor"

caught a new respect in his tone.
"Going soon?"

The manager said ooh" again,
and rose, holding out his hand.
She put hers into it frankly, and
he took the cigarette from his

So she walked out, free.

Henry's letter lay on a slice of

letter.
She fell back against the wall,

dragging her forward. So she was
introduced to the first representa-
tives Of her new world, standing
out on the veranda, with a full
Indian moon making her glorious.
Her bosom swelled with the pure
pleasure of it all. The men came
in, and hung around her. She
felt like a conqueror, like a prin-
cess loosed from, sleep into fairy
land-not in any way the Meg

A reed curtain divided Henry's
dining" and drawing" rooms,
and in the drawing-room he had
a piano. Presently they all went
in from the veranda, and the
younger of the visitors, sang.
He sang "On the Road to Man
dalay." Henry accompanied. The
other man looked at the new girl.
The new girl looked at the singer.
He was tall, 1.-THE young man of,
perhaps, twenty-six.
She liked him as being one of
the new sort; she liked the smart,
soldierly spruceness of him, the
shape of his head, his irresponsible,
reckless eye and smile, the but
tons and braid on his mess-jacket,
the song he sang. 1t is a song
for all vagrants and for all free
hearts.
When it was over, he sat down
by her, and said he was playing
polo tomorrow, and was she COM

he should bring her, but might not
be able to stay.
