CHAPTER VII

1t was after leaving Miss Daisy Hys-
lop's fat that the event to which Fran
els Ledsam had been looking forward
more than anything else in the world,
happened. 1t came about entirely by
chance. There were no taxis in the
Strand. Francis himself had finished
work for the day, and feeling disin-
clined for his usual rubber of bridge,
he stro1led homewards along the Mall.
AT the corner of Green park he came
face to face with the woman who for
the last few months had scarcely been
out of his thoughts. Even in that first
moment he realized to his pain that
she would have avoided him if she
could. They met, however, where the
path narrowed, and he left her no
chance to avoid him. That curious i'm
pulse of conventionality which opens a
conversation always with cut and
dried banalities, saved them perhaps
from a certain amount of embarrass-
ment. Without any conscious sugges-
ton, they found themselves walking
side by side.
II have been wanting to see you very
much indeed" he said. Il even went
so far as to wonder whether 1 dared
call"
why should your she asked. "Our
acquaintance began and ended in
tragedy. There is scarcely any pur-
pose in carrying it further"
He looked at her for moment be-
fore replying. She was wearing black,
but scarcely the black of a woman who
sorrows. She was still frigidly beauti-
full, redolent, in all the details of her
toilette, of that almost negative per-

Armed with powerful letter of in
PRODUCTION. Francis called on Miss
Daisy Hyslop, who received him that
afternoon in the sitting room of her
little suite at the Milan. Her weIcom-
ing smile was plaintive and a little
subdued, her manner undeniably gra-
c1ous. She was dressed in black, a
wonderful background for her really
gorgeous hair, and her department in
dlcated recent loss.
She avoided his direct questioning
for a time. but his checque book final
ly loosened her tongue.
Il am afraid you will think that
what L have to tell is very insignifi-
can't" she confessed. "Victor was one
of those boys who always fancied
themselves bored. He was bored with
polo, bored with motoring, bored with
the country and bored with town.
Then quite suddenly during the last
few weeks he seemed changed All
that he would tell me was that he had
found new interest in life. l don't
know what it was but l don't think it
was nice one. He seemed to drop all
his old friends, too, and go about with
new set altogether-not a nice set
at all. He used to stay out all night,
and he quite gave up going to dances
and places where ne could take me.
once or twice he came here in the
afternoon, dead beat, without having
been to bed at all, and before he could
say half a dozen words he was asleep
in my easy-chair. He used to mutter
such horrible things that 1 had to
wake him up"
"Was he ever short of money!"
Francis asked
She shook her head.
Not seriously" she answered. "He
was quite well-off, besides what his
people allowed him. 1 was going to
have wonderful settlement as soon
as our engagement was announced.
However, to go on with what 1 was
telling you, the very night before-it
happened-he came in to see me, look
ing like nothing on earth. He cried
like a baby, behaved like a lunatic.
and called himself all manner of
names. He had had great deal too
much to drink, and 1 gathered that he
had seen something horrible. 1t was
then he asked me to dine with him the
next night, and told me that he was
going TO break altogether with his new
friends. Something in connection with
them seemed to have given him a ter
rible fright"
Francis nodded. He had the tact
to abandon his curiosity at this pre-
else point.
1.-THE old story" he declared, ''bad
company and rotten habits. l suppose
some one got to know that the young
man usually carried a great deal of
money about with him."
'It was so foolish of him. she as
sented eagerly. II warned him about
it so often. The police won't listen to
it but l am absolutely certain that he
was robbed. noticed when he paid
the bill that he had a great wad of
bank-notes which were never discov-
cred afterward"
And with that information Francis
had to be satisfied when he took his
leave.
