they thought.
Their talk was medley of when

why did you behave so at that

except lovers.
Must you go?" Lame pouted
when at last the meal had ended.
Give sat on the arm Of her chair.
He frowned. Il must. There's a
bit Of business positively has to be
settled this morning, but I needn't
leave you behind. You can drive

brillancy Of this idea. You're not
gong to leave me, ever" murmured
Give, his lips against her hair.
How soon can you be ready?" he
asked as they drove.
Whatever for?" Her hand locked
IN his big one. She was dreamily.
utterly content.
TO leave for that honeymoon of
ours"
She gave him rapt look. Today.
tomorrow. Whenever you say"
He laughed at her. "What a wife?
I shall boast Of you. You didn't
evn say, I've nothing to wear"
"Ah, but I have. Frocks you've
looked at, but never really have
SEEN"
He was delighted at her half-shy,
half-bold coquetry. "You think I
haven't seen them? I probably
know every one down to the last bit
Of lace"
He said soberly after a bit,
There's something I've been want
ing to ask you about I hadn't
dared before"
Fearfully she asked, What can
it be?"
IT'S about the estate. The Robard
estate"
She stiffened as if at a distasteful
subject. THAT can't concern me-"
"Ah, but it does. Winton Hol-

the facts. You are the only logical
claimant. It's not a fabulous
amount, but you have a right to it,"
She said with set lips, "But sup
pose I don't want it? don't want
to touch penny of my-my fathers
money. It might have saved my
own mothers life" Her eyes filed.
II know" Give argued. But
wouldn't it be a grand notion to
accept it, settle it on Cass?"
She Strengthened. 1T might. I
hadn't thought of that"
Give explained the procedure she

her claim. Several papers must be

marriage lines which were in Cass'
hands.
How much" she suddenly asked,
did you mean it was? Not a fabu-

Carelessly Give remarked. tits
Ness than a million, think"
She put her face into her hands
and for a moment he thought she
was weeping. When she lifted her
hands again he saw she was shaken
by hysterical laughter.

She flushed. Never, if I can help
it," she assured him.
She promised to drive back for
him at 4 o'clock. MAY I tell mother
about the inheritance? Is it as
certain as that?"
"Of course"
She watched him out Of sight.
Four o'clock seemed worlds away.
