would come anyway unless I prom
Used to be at home to receive him
this morning"
I'D tell him to go to the devil"
Shallimar exclaimed.
Helen dropped her eyes. Some
how dread to see him." she said
half to herself. He never has made
idle threats, and he seems so sure
OF himself now"
Shallimar drew herself off the
bed. Il suppose you mean he has
refused to give you up Hope you
aren't fearful of any threat to do
himself Off" Her voice was high
with disdain BIS she walked over to
a dressing table to inspect herself
in the mirror.
Zone wild night and not a gray
hair to show for it." she mourned
with mock sincerity.
From the mirror she wheeled to
face Helen again. II wish you'd
let me talk with him." she urged
excitedly. II never was fond of
dear Leno-though l admire him
tremendously"
No, I've got to hear what he has
to say" Helen replied. "I promised
to keep him away last night"
She did not add that she had ex-
pected great deal of the night
that was not being put to fight by
the rising sun.
Well, I'm going to see him any,
way" Shallimar declared. But to
be in perfect working order 1 must
get some sleep. Goodnight, darling.
So far I've had wonderful time
at Bramblewood-and elsewhere"
CHE was gone, laughing over her
~ shoulder, and carrying with her
a vision of a dropping golden girl
that Saddened her not a little.
II wonder If it's because she feels
she's got to marry Leonard Brent
or because she is in love with Bob
Ennis. that Helen is low?" she asked
herself.
The next morning, or rather later
on that same day, she still was pom
dering the question. In fact, it was
Oh her mind when Brent was an
ncunced while she and Helen were
lingering over a late breakfast.
She jumped up when Helen left
the table and insisted upon going
with her to receive him.
He greeted her with eeolness
that barely escaped being uncivil.
Shallimer was not bothered.
Why" she cried. you're looking
fine! Not a day over SOL"
Brent glowered at her. you're
looking quite young yourself, Miss
Morris" he returned icily. 81 should
say that pink rompers would come
pretty close to indicating your age"
Shallimar laughed. "Helen is so
fortunate to have such a dear,
fstherly guardian" she cooed on;
"one who hasn't forgotten his own
youth. III bet, even If it is a long
way behind him"
Helen looked at her appealingly,
but Shalllmar was not to be head
ed of. 1T will be so nice for
Helen'S husband when she marries
not to have to go to stern parent
about it. You will understand that
she is rich enough to marry any
young man she cares for. won't you?
I'm sure you will, you're such q
dear old darling"
Brent could have killed her, and
most certainly would have tried to
annihilate her with words had not
there come Just then a telephone
call for her.
Il hope it's from Bob Ennis" she
exclaimed when the maid told her
Of it.
CHE hurried away to the library,
- only to find that it was a wire
message from her home, in answer
to the one she had sent when she
decided to remain at Bramblewood.
After 1t was read 70 her she sped
back to the living room. Helen and
Brent had gone. She went 70 WIN
down and saw them walking in the
garden.
She thought they looked as
though they were quarreling. as
indeed they we're. Helen was charg-
ing Brent with forcing himself upon
her. He answered bluntly that he
had a right to do so.
And what's more. I want you TO
get rid Of that fresh Morris Kid"
he demanded.
II shall do nothing Of the kind"
Helent retorted. anyway. you
