the houses looked alike. The last

not bear to think that she nigh,
have cstranged him.
She felt glad to have an evening
free, for whenever she thought OF
him, an odd sense OF shyness seized
her: she found herself blusling when
she remembered his kisses and the
strong clasp Of his arms.
She hurried home to Mrs. Higgs.
She was all eagerness to see Ronnic,
She went quickly up the three flights
OF stairs. The house seemed very
quiet.
Olive was not home yet. Cat
wick's did not close till half-past Z.
Ronnie was not in Violet's room
when she entered. but a little pair Of
his shoes lay OIL the worn hearth rug.
The engine she had bought him
stood on the n,an.elshelf with a piece
Of string still tied to the funnel by
which he had drawn it about.

Violet flushed scarlet. II trem-
bied on her lips to tell madame
that she was Hastings betrothed
wife. She almost wished she had
not asked him to keep it secret for
the present. She turned away Bit
ing her lips, conscious that madame
was looking after her euriously.
At lunch Violet sat next to Lena
Adams. The elder girl looked pale
and unhappy. She hardly touched
the food placed efore her. She asked
Violet, indifferently, if she had en-
joycd herself yesterday.
I'VE al! know where you went"
she said. 80 you need not pretend"
Il have no wish to pretend" said
Violet. She felt hurt at Lena's per-
sistcnt unfriendliness. She genuinely
liked her and would have gladly
made up their small difference.
Florrie Jones, at the further end
of the table: talked and laughed
loudly. Lena frowned as she lis
tened to her shrill voice and frivol-
Gus conversation.

cynically. "She is in fine feather be-

She left the room abruptly.
Florrie saw her 20. She called
after her shrilly. When no answer
was forthcoming she informed the
table generally that Lena was
crossed in love. Violet felt that she
hated her. She wondered that any
man could find her attractive.
Business was very slack during
the afternoon. Madame dismissed
half the girls early. Violet was
among them.
As she was leaving the building
the smart commissionaire came up
to her with a letter. His face was
full of meaning as he handed it to
her. A smile twitched his usually
grave face.
The letter was from Hastings.

He pressed her hand feassnf'
ingly and went on quickly into the
house.
Violet went slowly down the
steps. She was horribly conscious
OF woman in a white cloak who
leaned forward from the open door
OF the luxurious brougham and
stared curiously at her. She was
thankful when she was once again
IN the cab. She directed the driver
as Hastings had told her.
II seems li.e,ime--u reality

the taxi stopped and Hastings
opened the door and sat down be-
side her. :.

Germ in his voice. Violet began a

her. She knew what a hating ex-
PLANTATION she had made. She ielt
wrapped in a flame Of scorchlng
shame, from lead to foot.
Hastings did not speak for a mo-
mcnt. He looked at her in a pug
zled kind OF way. then suddenly he
put out his arms and drew her gently
10 him till she rested against his
shoulder.
Never mind why you came" he
said. and his voice was not quite
steady. Never mind why you
came. It's enough that you arc here.
1t seems a whole miserable lifetime
since I left you-could you care ever
such little"
His arms held her so strongly and
gently it was haven of rest to the
girl who had battled against an un-
kind world for so long. She thought
OF Ronnie, and for the moment she
forgot that this man was Ronnic's
father.
Hastings bent his head till his
check touched hers. Violet" he
whispered her name, violet, will
you be my wife,"
He felt her tremble in his arms,
and he did not wait for his answer.
The word that trembled on her lips
was stiAed by his kisses.
Violet slept long and heavily that
night. The morning sun was stream
ing into the room when she was
Weakened by Ronnie tugging at her
hair.
