During the lonely week for Crystal

Tony had no idea that she was
neglecting her chum. She was so
busy splitting each day into three
or four "dateS" that the time passed

A glimmering of part of the truth
came to Tony when she issued the
second invitation, the occasion be-
ing the debut of Er1nine Talbot, u
first cousin of the delectable Dick,
as Tony called him.
Don't bother to buy new dress

vast casualness. "I've got the very

After fifteen minutes more of We

Crystal accepted the lovely dress and

took it home with her. Faith came
into the bedroom when Crystal was
trying it on.
What an exquisite dressl"
Faith cried. "I've been looking for
jus THAT color Where did you
find it? I suppose it was terribly
expensive"
Color mounted in Crystals cheeks
as she explained that Tony had
given it to her. Faith listened to
the girls hating sentences gravely,
then put her arm about Crystals
shoulders as she said: THAT was
dear of Tony, Crystal, but there's
such a thing as being mistakenly
generous. Have you realized yet that
you'll have to buy the very finest of
silver slippers to go with it, and the
most exquisite of silver stockings"
Crystal started to retort angrily,

CHAPTER xxx
Playing With Fire


lTHAT afternoon Farquahr came
Il to the Ware home and was adj
mitted by Siddons, who announced
him to Lila. She was waiting up
stairs and descended at once to the
small drawing room.
Jack had no idea that the "Mrs.
Ware" for whom he asked was the
girl who came to greet him.
hila played her role well. She
waited until the butler was out of
sight and then came downstairs in
her street garb, giving the impress
sion she was visitor.
"Your friend, Mrs. Ware, is Won
derful to let us have this time to-
gether," declared Jack as he drew
her to the sofa.
He forgot his grievance of the
previous day in his delight at see
ing Lila alone. But he couldn't for
give Holmes and told Lila the pro-
posed dinner party for Wednesday
was off.
They talked, but when Jack tried
to kiss her, he was repulsed with,
mo, Jack, this isn't a rendezvous
for lovers. 1t is not fair to my
friends hospitality"
The captain protested-violently.
what is she Hke-this Mrs.
Ware?" Jack asked after his third
visit.
"She is darling" replied Lila.
Should we ask her to have tea
with uS?"
Farquahar started. &C ood
heavens no. have a hard enough
time seeing you without having an
old antique. dowager horning in
Jack continued to come every af-
ternoon at the same hour. Uncle
Dan mysteriously disappeared all
afternoon "to play some pool" and
Herbert never came home in the
afternoon.
Lila had much to contend with,
and there was only Dorothy to sus-
tain her. Dorothy, cool, sweet, re
sourceful.
Tell me, what is this Mrs. Ware
like?" Farquahar startled Lila one
day by asking. us there any chance
that she would intercede with your
father for us, or with your-that
MANI"
r"Oh, no, no." Lila answered
hastily. "She's not that sort. she
rarely comes downstairs. She's
sort of an invalid"
II think 1 would like to meet her
after ALL" Jack continued doggedly.
Some day, perhaps" And Lila
was glad that Jack let the subject
rest there.
How is your father" he de-
manded suddenly.
l. Quite we'll, thank you," Lila re-
piled mechanically.
His exclamation of establishment
brought her to her feet. She had
Numbered. Jacks dark brows were
drawn into a straight line.
Lila, you are lying to me. Is
your father really ill?"
II am not accustomed to being
spoken to like this. Please go now. y
And she turned him out, not car
ing of the consequences.

1T was after dinner that same
Il evening when the Wares and
Uncle Dan we're having coffee in the
library that Dan remarked:
well, it's two weeks today since ]
descended on you people, and ]
guess I'll be going soon. But be-
fore I go I have a confession to
make"
Uncle Dan smiled and pulled on
his fat cigar.
1.-THE night I came here I told
you about being on my uppers, and
not having cent. Well, that's the
bunk. I've got the neatest little
bank account south of the Amazon.

Lila gasped in establishment at

"And now call Jack and ask him
to your house this afternoon" COM

Lila obeyed. Farquahar accepted
the invitation with enthusiasm.

the boudoir that adjoined her
studio. She looked anything but a
capable young artist.
She was pouring coffee from a
silver percolator that dubbed mer-

looked up in establishment.

the morning." asked the amazed
Dorothy. why are you not presid-
ing at the family table?"
There isn't any," laughed Lila
shortly. Herbert preferred to eat
alone"
And then Lila launched into a
confession of the whole mess. How
Uncle Dan had returned, how Jack
had been misled by Mary Varney,
and how the worthless Uncle Dan
intended to stay instead of going
west as he planned.
