[ Dick raised the ruby goblet to his lips. The harpist changed her melody to Victor Herbert's Gypsy Sweetheart" Ever after ward at the sound of that air Eve was to relieve that scene.
 Dick was waiting for her to, go on. Eve said. Cant you come along with me, darling?"
 | Then you have decided to go?" Dick wasn't making 1t easy for her.
 q must, Dick! It's my big opportunity" This a trihe def- antly.
 Then, regretting her manner a bit, she added. If you'd come along, Dick, we could announce our marriage immediately. Come on, darling! We'll spend our honeymoon in New York. All have to do there is look about visit the smart shops and restau- rants and the theaters. It will be fun!'
 But Dick had his work too and slowly he shook his head. No, it's impossible for me to get away before the job Is finished in June. Just now we're pouring concrete and if there is a slip-up I'm responsible. People have been forced to dynamite whole founda- tion walls because they were laid out few inches out of line. No Eve. When a bunch of blueprints til the completed building is turn what he will find out later-that everything is o. k. I'm staying on the job"
 Eyes lips quivered. He was | willing for her to go. He didn't even quarrel over 1t as, unreason- ably, she half hoped he would do. Was 1t possible that she did not mean as much to him as his work? Well, then, she would just show him! She delivered the next blow:
 My train leaves at eight o'clock" Eve announced. 'I rushed out late this afternoon and packed a bag and sent it to the station" "WHAT!" he cried. Hastily he paid the check and bundled Eve to wait inside until he brought xa1 hat |.the car, he dashed into the storm.

 "Richard Rader! If you don't kiss me this minute I'll NEVER go to New York" she told him through her tears.
 And Dick kissed his wife. stepped on the accelerator and reached the station just few minutes before eight o'clock.
 'Where will you stop?" he asked as he saw Eve safely aboard the train. Have you wired for a reservation
 Eve named her hotel. "Bixby's made the reservation for me. And Freda Carter will be there the first two days" Eve smiled. She knew why he asked-fowers, telegrams, letters.
