around Louise's waist, and she laid
her head on his shoulder with a con
tented sigh.
There was a sputtering of the en-
CINE. The car baked few times, went
a little way. gave a final cough and
stood still. Clayton impatiently looked
under the hood He saved the gas tank
for last, knowing before he looked,
that it must be empty.
"Out of gas?" asked Louise. She
was surprisingly unperturbed.
Yes. It's beyond me. I filled her
up this evening"
How far is it to house?"
AT least 10 miles. Gee. Louise, I
didn't mean to get you into this!"
That's what they all say, in the
movies" She sat there, slumped over,
thinking. Then she slowly looked up.
Rich boy. Poor working girl. Do you
know, I'm beginning to see daylight"
Her dark eyes looked black with anger,
but, strangely enough. her anger was
directed at Leslie and not at Clayton

a penitent child.

THE next morning she stopped at
Leslie's Office, subdued and chas-
tened. Hello, Leslie" she said, with
out smiling
We'll, did you find out for yourself
what kind of q cad he was?" Leslie
looked at her coldly. TITS q nice story
circulating around about you. Out all
night with society bounder!"
rs that story around?" Louise's
face went white How could it be. so
soon?"
Bad news travels fast Well, is the
playboy going to marry you?"
The door opened with jerk. Yes,
he isl" Clayton was towering over a
cowed Leslie. You rat! Trying to
blacken the reputation of the sweet
est girl on earth. You drained the gas
out of the tank. You heard our plans
in the restaurant. Louise saw you"
Il did not"
Then how did you know we were
out all night? Don't lie! You. see, we
reached home at o'clock. You needn't
look so surprised. You forgot that I
was planning on a hunting trip to-
day and had an extra supply of gas in
the back of the car. And now to the
minister's, so that Louise can join me
on that trip" He turned to Louise.
Please step out, Louise. I'll be with
you in q minute. I want to tell our
friend good-by.
He did. With blow that sent him
reeling. "Ta-ta. Leslie" he called
from the doorway. You'd better take
up hunting. You might get stranded
yourself some time"

you were dining with me, and asked

And 1 accepted. Well, what of it?"
"I didn't suppose you were a pick

Thanks" Her voice was cool, but
she could feel the blood surging up
into her face and neck. He wanted to
dance with me. There was no one to
introduce us. So he just up and asked
me-
And then he asked you to come
there again and meet him tomorrow
night" There was pause, while
Louise's heart almost suffocated her,
as she thought of meeting Clayton
again. Of dancing with him; of feeling
that Intoxicating tingling through her
veins, down to her very flnger-tips.
Are you going?"
"Yes, ami"
''If you do, you'll be sorry. He's no
good" Leslie turned on his heel and
thumped down the echoing sidewalk.

r OUISE closed the door softly and
went to her little room on the
second floor. Leslie was all right. but
sort of dull and stodgy. He would get
on in life all right. give him time
enough but there wouldn't be much
romance and glamour about marrying
him. Now. if she could only have a
.fellow like Clayton!
She shut her eyes, visioning what it
would mean. Wealth! Clothes! Trav-
ell! Excitement And, best of all some
one to love with ones whole self! Some
one tender and courteous, responsive
to your moods. Some one whose eyes,
looking deep into your own, made you
tremble with the delightful promises
they held.

when she looked again there was no
