Fennell, nodded to Meade and
started the car. but he noted with "A
twinge of jealousy that Aileen
turned to wave a farewell to the
handsome young poet.
And now that she had met him,
her conversation was more than
ever a continuous stream of praise;
before, it had been more or less
impersonal, and. even so, hard
enough for the older man to bear;
but now it drove him nearly to de-
spair.

delighted girl; almost as wonderful
as his poems"

cheeks and realized that the little

The more he saw Of Meade the
less he liked him. He shut him

analze his feelings. Was he jeal.
