CHAPTER XI
THE VERY, VERY WEAK
EXDT ANATTON

T lila stared silently at the ring
4 in Herbert's palm. She knew
that she must say something, but
she was unable to speak.
This was a terrifying experience
like nightmare in which one tries
to run away from some dreaded
thing and makes no progress at all.
Lila's mind simply refused to work;
she could not escape the fact of that
ring.
Jack Farquahar had given it to
her in France. 1t was his engage
ment ring, but it also was to be her
wedding ring. He had slipped it on
her finger, with a look of reverence
in his gray eyes that had belied his
laughing words:
Il couldn't afford an engagement
ring worthy of you, sweetheart, and
it's impossible to buy one here, even
if I could. This will have to do for
both" She remembered how he
had kissed her hands as he spoke.
You'll wear it always, Lila?'
That was the true story of the
ring she had foolishly kept.
With Herbert's cold, accusing eyes
upon her, she moistened her dry
lips, opened her mouth. Finally,
to her own establishment, she heard
herself saying calmly:
ooh, that" She even laughed a
little. ut doesn't belong to me. It's
its May Varney's."
How clever am, she thought, to
remember in this moment that
Mays husbands name is Jack.
Herbert looked from Lila to the
ring.
What is it doing in your jewel
case-in a secret compartments"
That was a facer. Lila hadn't
thought of that. So she seized
eagerly on the last phrase.

Gosh A WOW like that could
make a fortune on the screen.
But of course you wouldn't want to
suggest anything so materialiStic to
an artists like Pablo!"
Maybe that is why he hasn't

rhat is why his painting snocks are
so thin and frayed. I've simply

"Oh, but he has!" Crystal assured

sharply. That was getting into too

proudly.

amazement, Crystal burst into a
