words on his lips. There's the music.

Already, caution had told him to wait
There was plenty Of time. and releasing
Jean, they strolled back through the
lovely gardens, and across the lawn to
the dance pavilion, where the colored
orchestra Martin had inquired about
now beat out seductive rhythms with all
the zest of their race.
Jean passed sleepless night. With
victory in sight, the man she loved
about to capitulate, she must make him
and herself wait. If he knew the
truth, knew that she had deceived
him, he would let her go out of his
life. His words Of the evening before
had proved that to her.
She got up at o'clock Marcia was
sleeping soundly. Jean moved softly
about the room, and in the bath room
wrapped a towel about the tub spigot
to deaden the sound of the water when
she ran her bath. Then with her bag
she stole quietly down the stairs. She
went into the library to write note
to Martin and found a maid putting
the place to rights. Thankful that she
would not have to meet the disapprov-
ing scrutiny of Benson, she gave the
maid the note with instructions to de-

tin that she was driving herself to the,
station and would leave the car parked
there and he could send for 1t.
She felt relieved as she cleared the
drive and was on her way. It had
been impossible for her to stay in Mar
tins house any longer. with this
anxiety gnawipg at her mind. She was
now determined to straighten out her
private life before she complicated it
further; and the complications were
imminent, she was certain, for she felt
that II she remained another day, Mar
tin would most certainly propose, and
as married woman, she could not
accept that proposal. 1t seemed in
credibly silly that she had not thought
of this before
In thus leaving so unceremoniously
she did not stop to think that she was
placing Marcia in an embarrassing
position. She was thinking only of
herself and the dilemma in which she
was placed. Certainly, she did not
think that this impulsive, erratic action
was to count against her in Martins
eyes. The exigency Of her own mental
distress drove the fear of consequences
from her mind. Sc.

Jean had her first touch OF jealousy
that night. Lillian Walker, a cool, de.

beautiful as marble masterpiece
had a confidential. possessive ATTITUDE
toward Martin that she could not
fathom. Lillian lived on an adjoining
estate and they were apparently olu
friends.
"You haven't been here before, have
you?" was her careless query to Jean
and, without waiting for a reply, turned
to some one who claimed her atten-
ton. Jean instinctively disliked her
and it colored the evening with doubt
especially when Lillian and Martin
went indoors after dinner and did not
return for half hour.
Her fear was dispelled for the pres
ent, however. for Martin presently
asked her to go for walk in the gar
dens. He wanted her to see them by
moonlight.N
