 CHAPTER XXI
 Grants voice was edged with concern. He said, What is 1t? the matter?"
 Janet didn't speak for a moment. Then she said, "No," and shook her head. But she couldn't keep her eyes from darkening with the shocks and pain that she felt. She couldn't keep her voice quite as steady as 1t had been. Then she saw that Jeff had followed her gaze to the folded newspaper.
 Here's some news" she said, trying to keep her tone casual and not succeeding. She pointed to the 
 ''Hum-someone you know?"
 Janet might have laughed at that but she didn't. She said, "Yes, I used to be engaged to Rolf. I was engaged to him until two months ago."
 "oh!"
 She felt that she had to say something else. "I haven't seen him for long time," she went on quickly. Not for weeks. We quarreled." She hesitated and then the words went racing on, "I can't help the way I feel about Rolf! I can't help 1t even now. There'll never be anyone else that l care forl Never!"
 "Sorry!" Grant said. It sounded boyish and rather awkward. Janet looked up and met his eyes. All at once she remembered that they were sitting at a lunch counter, that the waiter had set food before them and that there were strangers all about. A girl wearing a red coat had slipped into the vacant place at Janets left and was calling for the salt. Janet handed 1t to her, Then she drew a handkerchief from her purse.
 I'm afraid there's something in my eye" Janet said, blinking and wiping away the tears.
 "Better be careful. Is 1t out now?"
 She nodded. Her voice was steady again. "Yes yes, I'm sure it's all right now.'
 Neither of them seemed very hungry. The chicken sandwich was appetizing but Janet ate only a little of 1t. Jeff downed his coffee and was ready to leave almost im- mediately.
