the entrance of the house. A maid
answered the long-drawn-out peel Of
he bell.
Miss Barrett? She's in, yes. I'll
be calling her"
Muriel reflected idly swinging her
crop and looking about her, that
it was devilish quaint Of Gives
mother TO have these artless peasant
maidens or her staff, instead of the
smoothly insolent servants most Of
the Willow Stream gentry employed.
She explored the room in a vain
search for cigarets. She chuckled
to herself, thinking of how she had
got away from Van. Served him
right. 1t would give him something
to worry about, looking for her.
Lame came down, pale and com
posed. A family artificial smile
lowered over her lips.
"Lordy, but it's ages since I've
seen you," Muriel began
Lame said through stiff lips.
And 70 much has harpened-let
me wish you happiness"
"Oh, that!" Muriels laugh tinkled
like blown bits of glass. Thanks.
Where can we sit down and chimp"
LANE led the way to the morn
ing room, the most cheerful room
in the house. When Nora brought
the tea tray Muriel said, half ban
teringly, You certainly seem at
home here"
Lame nodded. Mrs Cleespaugh's
very sweet to me-"
She poured the steaming amber
fluid into an eggshen cup, but Mu-
riel made a gesture of annoyance.
None for me, thanks. I never
touch the stuff. I could go for a
highball, thought
A little flush came into Lanes
pale chicks. Sorry, I'm afraid I
can't manage that"
ooh, well then" pouted MurieI,
II guess I will guzzle a cup. Catty
little cake s,enough." She helped
herself to two, looking like a greedy
child.
What could he see in her? thought
LANE while that dull pain deep
ened and frightened around her
heart. She thought she had for
gottn all that. She thought she
had put it behind her.
Here it was, all, the anguish and
the longing, risen to confront her
again. "She'S come to crow over
me-" LANE thought, duly. "She
wants me to know she's got what
I could never have"
q Il e
MURIEL'S next words banished
4V1 her suspicious. II don't want
to talk about my engagement" she
said after a pouting hesitation. "It
all bores me. It's mess. We've Just
been rowing hideously, screaming at
each other"
"a mess?" Lanes trembling voice
sounded strange.
"Oh, I get in a lather about his
pokinesS. He wants to order me
around"
She looks like a bad child and a
spoiled one, thought the listener.
Undisciplined. Unrestrained. And
yet how exquisite she was, with
that creamy skin, those charmingly
arched brows, those useless, fut-
tering, scarlet-tipped fingers.
Greedy, clutching little fingers.

Vim 41AH AL 49, A@@
KHURIEL LAID ran down the
IF1steps Of the riding club. From
top to toe she was the ripe. color OF
saddle leather. Little, saucy, turned
up felt hat, beautifully fitting coat
and Whipcord breeches, shining
mirror-like boots.
She put a cigaret between her
lips and lighted it in the shelter
Of the hedge. A groom came run
ming to open the door of her gleam-
ing car. She stepped in without
a word Of thanks and made a reck-
less swirl around the bluestone drive
A young man, hatless, his boots
g~littering in the sunshine, richo-
cheted after her. He was a half
moment too late. He ate Muriel's
dust and uttered a heartfelt damn
at sight of the vanishing car.
The groom throttled a sympathet-
ic smile which had sprung unbid-
den to his lips. The young man
ground his heels in the gravel and
went back into the long, low stone
building.
In the cardroom he summoned a
lackey and ordered ginger ale. He
mixed a drink and lounged, moody
and lowering, in the big leather
chair.
Where's the girl friend?" a
lanky youth inquired.
Van Robard muttered. Gone along
home. Go to dress for the Rob-
bins dinner"
you're a pretty pair of billing
doves the lanky man said indo-
lently. II could hear you yelling
at each other as I took my shower.
Dam ill-tempered wench, if you
ask me-"
"You keep your thoughts to your
self. No ones asking you," Robard
commanded through his teeth.
The lanky young nan was IN
disturbed. bit squiffy, amt your"
he inquired. "Drinkin' before sun
downs a practice I've always de-
plored."
Look here" Robard thundered,
getting to his feet. you're too
fresh today and that's a fact!"
Cool down." advised the other.
"I've known you too long for you
to get the wind up over a little
harmless joking"
Joking my eye" returned Van
Robard. He continued to glare as
he slipped his drink.
mo foolin', she's got a warm
temper, that gal," said the tall man.
Rohard was silent. He fell to
staring at the fire.
"When's the wedding2"
Haven't set the day yet" Ro-
bard's tone was markedly Sullen.
Never expected you to step off,
Van. Thought you'd be the giddy
bachelor till you were TO-"
Van said abruptly, Lets talk
about something else"

Jimmy Blake did some rapid thinking. He
hardly knew what to make of his hosts archaic
costume and language. But he was sure the
mar was in earnest. whether sane or insane.
Perhaps it would be wise to humor him. So
he replied: Come to think Of it, my father IS
a knight tenplar, and a mason, too" "Sbludl
I knew it." cried Sir Richard. "And so am l."
added Blake when he realized the happy effect
Of his statement.

weeks?" Give asked a few moments
later.
THAT viii be all right" Lane
agreed.
Wen. how's for starting right
now with a bit of dancing" the
young man wanted to know. He
turned the dials and presently the
throb and beat of a far off dance
orchestra entered the room.
He held out his arms.
The young girl, after an instant's
hesitation, slid into them. All, but
she hadn't known he would dance
like thati
She had danced with Van Robard
and had loved it. She had been
joyous dancing with Chuck Des-
mand, but never before had she ex-
perienced this fluid perfection of
motion accomplished by the born
dancing man with wings On his
heels.
The tune beat its insistent way
into her brain as her steps lightly
and feetly followed his, wove them
selves into the pattern Of the mu-
sic. A singer broke in raucously:
"Moanin' low. my sweet man, I
love you so. If you die, whereu I
be?"

knife or fork was evidently not on the program.

clapped his hands and soon there entered a

ground as he beheld Blake, but soon hustled
away as be was bid.

In a daze, Lame listened, watched,
crumbled bread. Dimly she knew
that this night marked a crisis in
her life. She seemed to be moving,
acting in a. dream.
She had the sensation Of having
spoken these words, made these
selfSame gestures in a previous ex-
tstence.
When the long, pompous meal
finally was ended, the four sat in
the small drawing room and Mrs.
Cleespaugh poured amber coffee
into cups Of eggshell f1neness.
"You children run off and amuse

She nodded. She could not quite

Good girl" Lame stifled her
hysterical laugh which rose to her
lips. Was there ever so quaint a
wooing?
Give fumbled with his impec-
cable time.
We've got to make some sort OF
show of being pals, at least, before
we spring it on mother"
"Of course. I understand that"
She was demure.
Look here" the young man said,
giving her a shrewd glance. This
will be your show, run as you want
it. You're nothing but a kid. I'll
play it according to the rules"
She was mystified. She said.
"Tell me what to do. and III do

"It Just isn't reasonable" Give
objected seriously. "a girl who

"What-what do I look like?"
cried Lame, struck by his tone.

She put her hands to her hot
cheeks. There was something about
the young mans gaze that set her
to blushing.

FRANK Gull TY;
FINED 500

Edward Frank, local second
hand dealer, today appeared be-
fore Judge Gus A. Schuldt, in
police court, and entered a plea
of guilty to a charge of violating
the small loan law of the District
and was fined $100.
Frank was arrested April %
and charged with lending money
at a greater rate of interest than
per cent per annum without hav-
ing first obtained a permit" The
following day he failed to ap-
pear in court and his $500 cash
collateral was declared forfeited.
He came into court later in the
day, however, and the forfeiture
was set aside. At that time he
pleaded not guilty and the case
has been continued six times until
the change of plea today.
Shortly after Franks arrest, on
the small loan charge, he was in
dicted by the Grand Jury on
charge of arson, in connection
with a fire which swept several
buildings on Ninth Street, near E
Street N. w. This case is still
pending in the District Supreme
Court.

Latin American Commerce
Head Proves Square Peg in
Round HoIe,' Says Or. Klein

Another case of bureaucratic
ircompatibility" has developed
George j. Eder, head of the
Latin-American trade division in
the Commerce Department, has
resigned.
Mr.. Eder's withdrawal follows
few weeks after he published
an article, in his private capac-
ity, in which he reflected sharply
upon British trade methods in
the Argentine and ridiculed the
Prince of Wales "trade boosting"
journey to that country.
The resignation was announced
after Mr.. Elder conferred with
Secretary of Commerce Lamont
yesterday.
Square Peg, ROuna Hole"
The following statement was
made by DR.. Julius Klein, chief
of the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce:
"Mr. Eder decided he was not
properly located, so his reSigna-
tiOn was accepted. He is very
able young fellow it was just
the old case of the square peg
and r.und hole"
The Elder article, it is under.
stood, was of the sort that it was
"indiscreet and undiplomatic" for
an American trade official to
write
British Kick RumOred
At one time there was a rum r
that the British embassy would
register a formal complaint about
it.
Only three weeks ago another
official of the Commerce Depart
ment had friction with his
superiors and had to resign. He
was DR.. Roy o. Hall, who pre-.
pared figures relating to the I'm
ternational balance of trade" that
were at variance with those of
the Census Bureau in some details
