had not Ions to wonder about Lucia Meredith's reaction to Dickys name. There was no definite change in either voice, facial expression or manner, but I said 10 myself, close ly watching her, that It was like teeing a statue come to life to wit ness the animation which subtly in- vested her.
 An, yes, he would love it, she said, as if she were an intimate sharer of Dicky's tastes, T suppose my husband has told you" she threw him an slluring provocative emile that I'm quite mad about Mir. Graham"
 Dr. Meredith's answering smile was one which would have infuri- sted me had l been his wife and ths recipient of 1t. It held the in dulgence one would accord a spoiled child. and the indifference one gives to nerson whose words and ac- tions have no longer any interest.
 "I don't think l have mentioned 1t to Mrs. Graham az yet, Lucia, !" he said. "I think l told Mrs, Bick- cit about your flaming infatuation, Perhaps she has passed on the news"

 She closed her eyes, and raised her face to the cold fresh rush of it as it came in, smelling of tho sea.
 Then, suddenly, she felt Water burys arms around her. They drew her against him, and his moGth came down upon hers in a short harsh contact.
 Then, as suddenly, he let her so.
 May stepped back. breathless "Oh, you ." she began. And was in his arms again,
 He kissed her again and again . not roughly, this time, but as if he would never have done. And this time May did not resist him, but lay in his arms, with a curious sense of Contentment in her heart.
 Tn all of her life she had never been kissed this way before . .. passionately, and at the same time tenderly. almost comfortingly.
 Pm sorry if you're angry with me. I couldn't help myself Water bury said, when he released her. And they stood, holding each others hands in the windy darkness.

 She turned and with her head bent down against the wind, she started back toward the hotel. In silence Waterbury followed her.
 About that money" he said in q matter-of fact tone as they en- tered the lobby. Please. won't you put it into the hotel safe, If you don't want to trust me with it? I'm afraid you'll lose it, or be robbed. "
 Perhaps l will" May answered, ringing the bell for the elevator Tomorrow
 Tomorrow" Waterbury echoed. T shall see you, tomorrow"
 May looked deep into his eyes, and held out her hand. Yes" she said softly. Good night" Upstairs In her room, she stood before her mirror, searching her face in the glass. The eyes were brilliant and there was vivid, unac- customed color in her cheeks. Her lips smiled.
 May addressed the radiant image in the glass, aloud.
 "Old girl" she said, Upon my soul. I believe we've fallen in love with this Waterbury man!"
 It was the first time she had ever admitted such a thing to herself, in all the twenty-seven years of her life,

 They are grouchy when they get out of the bed in the morning, grouchy at work, grouchy at noon, grouchy in the evening and most likely have grouchy dreams.
