CHAPTER XVII

"Teddys splendid work in con-
noction with her escape and your
rescue from death in that awful
collar is still tn current sensa-
ton" spoke up"Diana, enthusiast
tically. 1T seems every one is
| talking about it,"
"Oh, l don't know" shrugged
Lola. II don't think ii deserves
quite so much fuss
"Well you would think SO II
you'd see the hole she had to dig"
exclaimed Donald warmly. 81 went
over to see il one day - tn next
day, in fact, after I left tn hospi-
tai. It certainly was marvellous
piece of work. l tell you"'
Diana Brooks felt herself glow
with pride in the man who had
been her playfellow when she was
in pigtails-pride in the thought
that Don WAS man enough and
brave enough to appreciate and
stand up for his little protege. even
in the face Of Lola's disapproval.
How does she feel, Dom" she
asked. II haven't seen Ted in three
or four days and Dad told me she
was looking rather pale lately"
Don looked away, saddcncd all
at once.
She seems we'll enough" he re-
piled slowly.
Il wonder" said Diana contem-
platively. ''if any one of us appre-
ciates just how true blue Teddy
really is. She'll make some man a
wonderful wife some day"
AS she said this Diana looked
squarely at Don. He was picking
imaginary threads from his sleeve
and did not look up.
They dined later with Mrs. In
gram giving instructions patiently
to the now Swedish maid Grctta.
Pop was absent, having gone to
Chicago on business.
Diana played with her food most
of the time. The greater part of 1t
was removed by the maid.
Don, too. maintained a more or
less regretful silence since the dis
cussion about Teddy. Gradually,
however, he frightened, Spring
was abroad outside A mild breeze,
stirring the hangings at the tan
windows. kept reminding him of a
decision he had made that after
noon.
Lola sat across from him. The
pale rose shades in the cluster of
lights behind her brought out
wildly her exotic beauty. Diana
noted this. She felt, TOO, that Lola
was perfectly aware of the effect
the lights had on her and the eff
fct she had on Don.
She seemed to blend with per-
feet harmony into the rich, artistic
setting Of the high walled room.
Most of the time he saw her full
red lips through a blur He was

Mary smiled in assent, but there
was not the quick flashing merri-

made her face so attractive. In
stead, there was touch of weari-
ness about it as if she smiled be-
cause she felt she must, rather than
because OF any real impulse to do so.
