u.s." she cautioned.
Tom Richmond, in a boyish, handsome
way, resembled his sister He was four
years younger, and in his second year
at Yale He introduced his friend to
Tilton. The lawyer looked searchingly
at Toms friend He was a handsome
man of his particular type; tall, and
sleek as a greyhound. His features and
complexion were delicate enough for a
woman's Big, soulful eyes and white,
cleaning teeth that showed when he
smiled.
1.-The kind that women get foolish
about" Larry said to himself. This
was all his search OF the mans features
had revealed to the keen lawyer.
The afternoon papers, which Morell
handed to him, he deliberately thrust in
his pocket The headlines were stin
scary, but a swift glance revealed moth
ing new He fancied that Morell looked
trif1e concerned, but he said nothing
on the subject Of the Jewel story. They
chatted on everything but that.
Larry had made up his mind to sit
in the tonneau with Di, and he easily
gained his point. There was a smile on
| his face when he took his seat at her
side. The excessive, OverpOwering long
ing that he had felt for years to see and
feel her at his side could not be exag-
gerated. And now. by a strange for
tuity, when hope seemed to have dieo
within him, his dreams were realized.
He was too happy for words.
At first the two young men tried to
engage the couple in the back seat with
enlarged accounts Of small events that
had taken place at the Country Club and
L.
of vast interest to themselves, but they
apparently failed to amuse, for the law
yer and his companion remained thought
full.
Di looked sweet and pensive, her eyes
partly closed, and her little white hands
| lay folded demurely upon her lap. Larry
had stolen several furtive glances, when
the car bumped and he felt her sway
toward him. He would have given the
world to know of what she was thinking.
The young men had given up trying to
entertain them, and were now engaged
! in an animated discussion on the ways
and means of becoming owners of an
airplane. He determined to disturb her

cheeks How dare you pry into my

he was only laughing at her.

She drew L long, deep breath and

But Larr hesitated. He dared not
tell her al that he was thinking. 1t
would VIC tie his resolution not to take
advantage of her present predicament.
Besides coming home had been so
sudden. had no idea how to tell all
that was IL his heart. He would have
to rehearse a speech he thought. To say
that he loved her, that never again on
earth could she be so loved again, was
all that he could think Of. In her pres
ence he seemed to lack power and energy
Of utterance. He could have laughed
aloud, to think that he, Larry Tilton,
was destitute Of words. Where were the
brief, vigorous appeals to juries, the
grilling aphorisms on culprits, and the
high rending of feeling for the OPP
pressed? And to think, he could be so
tender and so touching on other occasions
and still sit there at her side wordless.
