 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XXXvI
 Janet picked up the cat, stroked his head absent -mindedly. She was thinking of a night a year ago when she and Rolf Carlyle had gone to an amusement park and extravagantly ridden three times on a roller-coaster. It was such a gay evening! They had laughed and had such q good time. She thought of the girl she had been a year ago. Such differ ent girl than she was today. Rolf had changed too.
 Thinking of Rolf, Janet turned. She had to think of him, for there he was.
 Neither of them moved. The dim light from the open window fell on Janet and made her white dress seem whiter. Her face was indistinct, half in shadow.
 "Janet!' Rolf said, moving for ward. And that was all.
 'I didn't hear you" she told him, and her voice, naturally low pitched, had a touch of huskiness. She hurried on, as though it were important to keep on speaking. "It's dark in here, isn't 1t? don't know why the lights haven't been put on. Everyone seems to be gone--'
 'I came to meet Betty" Rolf explained. If she's not here she will be soon. Janet - I've never seen you looking so lovely" He was almost beside her now. "There's something about you to- night. What is it?'
 She smiled. "The dress. per haps. It's new. Do you like it?'
 "You look beautiful"
 Buster, the cast, squirmed un- easily in her arms and Janet bent to put him down. Thank you for the compliment" She said. look ing up again at Rolf. and man. aged to say the words lightly. She moved to the table, touched the lamp and the room was bathed in warm, amber glow. There! That's better"
 Rolf followed. "Please don't go." he urged. "Stay here and talk to me. I've been wanting to ask how things are going with you. Is everything all right, Janet?"
 Why, of course"
 That's not what l mean. l mean-really"
 His sleeve brushed her arm and Janet stepped away. Then she met his eyes directly. Every thing Is perfectly all right she said. "Tm-Tm happy" She said it defantly.
 "I don't know whether you are or not" Rolf began. "I don't know"
 There was tho sound of foot steps and the words broke off. Both Janet and Rolf turned. Betty Carlyle stood in the doorway. She was wearing sheer yellow gown that fit her snugly and then fell in huge, swirling folds to her feet. A rather daring gown and dar- ing little yellow hat perched side wise on her dark hair. She would have arrested attention anywhere but in that room her appearance was electric.
 "Well!" Betty exclaimed. What a charming scene! l hope I'm not intruding?"
 There could be no doubt of the anger in her voice. She smiled but it was the silky smile that conceals q thrust-to-come.
 Not at all" Rolf told her coolly. Hate, aren't you? thought you'd be here when came"
 "Yes. I'm late. And how kind it's been of Miss Hill to entertain you. You didn't by any chancC come early did you?"
 Betty. don't talk nonsense!
 She came into the room then
