 CHAPTER XII.
 For an instant Gypsy hesitated. She was aware that Gibson was watching her eagerly. There was a faintly bantering light in his eyes. It was as though he were challeng- ing her. Are you game to go? Will you take the dare?"
 The girls chin lifted. Yes" she said, eff there's fresh air F cool, fresh air--to be had on the Somer- had a breath of 1t for a week."
 While she was still speaking Gib-. son had swung the car around. The rain drops were coming faster now.
 He seemed to be an expert driver. Gypsy watched the ease with which he handled the car. Surely it was a new one. The brown paint glis-. tened and the upholstery'looked so fresh. l. < 'It's a new ear. isn't it?" she
 .sHad it two weeks. Bought it as soon as I got back from the coast"
 'It's too bad to have 1t out in storm like this.''
 "That's what I got it for. I get my moneys worth out of 8 car. Buy 'em and use 'em. Would you like to drive?'
 "Oh, no! I've had a little experi- eilce with a battered up flivver, but I wouldn't think of trying to drive q car like this, Jim never lets me touch the roadster"
 "That o?c You ought to learn. Practice is probably all you need. Any time you feel in the mood I'd be glad to come along as instructor -e poor one I'll admit"
 Gypsy's smile was bit nervous. "Isd better not" she said, unless you want your lovely coupe to be a complete wreck!" Ne
 "Well, I'd take my chances. By the way, how is Jim these days? Haven't seen him." \ "He's about as usual. Working toe hard, I think. He hasn't had vacation yet and think he needs it."
 Gibson nodded. "That always was Jim, Plugging away! You know the trouble with him is he forgets to enjoy life. Whats the use of liv- ing if you have to work all the time? That's the way I feel about
 "oh, Jim doesn't work all the time. He likes fun"
 Does he? We'll. I'm glad to hear that. Say. he made quite a success of a case last spring. didn't he? Girl accused of murder"
 "Yes. The Roberts case. It was a wonderful victory" Ss 2.
 "I remember now. Read about it in . San Francisco paper. The girl was pretty, wasn't she? What be- came of herr"
 "After she was acquitted she left Forest City and went back to her relatives. She has better job now and think she's happy. Of course 1t was a terrible experience. It will be long time before she'll get over it."
 Gibson nodded. And how do you like being lawyers wife ?" he asked, 'when the customers are young-and pretty?"
