 And she sad down, elaborately, on the foot of the bed. "Go ahead and talk 1t out" she directed. "I'll keep my mouth shut. I'll even snore, if you'd rather" Then more seriously: After all, the whole thing is up to you two" l,
 Bob nodded; but he did not speak, and after Q moment Kay said di- rectly:
 "I'm not sure about-legal things; but isn't 1t simply question of an annulment? Perhaps pr. Dakins lawyer could help us, somehow"
 Bob looked at her gravely. "Xou don't realize what your up against!" he protested. "This will be like throwing bucket of tar over you. You'll never get the stain of 1t off"

Let is rest, Bob," she said. "Well be down, presently. But let's not mention this business again till next week. This kid has stood up well 50 far, but she's not made of iron, you know"
 Bob nodded contritely and de- parted: and Genevieve took Kay in her arms. There, baby" she whis- pered. ...

She stood by Mrs. Dakin's side, where the older woman sat at the tea table; and when someone came in who did not know Kay, Mrs. Dakin said in Q gentle introduction:
 And this is my daughter :"
 Once when they were alone, Kay bent to whisper to the older woman: T love you for treating me sol"
 But Mrs. Dakin only smiled.
 Bob was there, and his father, and Genevieve to support Kay and steady her if need arose; but the need did not arise. Childers moved quietly to and fro with trays and cups and plates of sandwiches; and Kay watched him as though she clung to him. She told Genevieve once in a swift aside:
 He's like an anchor: if someone threw @ plate in his face he wouldn't even vince. I'm taking him as pattern, Genevieve!"

 T should think you'd hate he ..
 "You're an idiot!" said Genevieve.
 There was always tea to be had in Mrs. Dakin's drawing-room on Sunday afternoons, and her friends knew this.
 And there'll be loads of people here today" Genevieve warned Kay next morning. "The few that always come, and a lot of others who will come to see what you look like, and the crowd back from New London will be dropping in. Keep your head up, child, and keep @ stiff upper lip and look them all in the eye and tell them to so to He'll"
 Kay smiled ct her. You needn't worry about me, Genevieve," she promised. "This is between me and Bob and pr. and Mrs. Dakin. What other people say or thing or do-- just doesn't matter"
 And she was when the time came as good as her word. Genevievc made sure that Kay wore her most

 T know" Kay agreed. Bob told mel" And that almost killed Bob's father" said Genevieve. But this other, coming on top of 1t, has made him forget that. The two things may neutralize one another. People will forget the lesser scandal in the greater. Maybe you were wise to pull this, Bobl"
 Bob said with a wry smile. "That's small comfort!"
 And Genevieve appealed to Kay. Kay, you can do job on Bob, if you will. He's not so rotten as he seemsl He's been wild and reckless and foolish; but the idiot has @ sur- geon's fingers, and he knows the inside of people as well as most of us know their outsides, or better. If you'd take him in hand and make him toe the mark, he might amount to something!" t"%
 Kay made a gesture of protest, would have spoken; but Genevieve silenced her, went urgently on.
 And, Bob, Kay's 8 sweet kid! I've lived with her for a year, and I know. The only fool thing about her, she's obsessed with the idea that she doesn't want to marry a sinall-town man; she's been playing desperately hard, all this last year, trying to hang on. trying to avoid having to go home.
 But she's straight, Bob; and she's got brains enough for you and her both. If you've got the sense of Q moron, you'll hold on to her!"
 Bob, after a moment, said slowly: "Of course. If Miss Brannon is will- ing, I'll ."
 Man of honor!" Kay whispered, smiling at him in a gentle derision, though her eyes were full of tears You were nice last night, Bob! You were 50 afraid you had com- promised me! You kept telling me you'd make an honest woman out of me-"
 And 6 fine job you did of iti" Genevieve exclaimed.
 But it's possible to carry chival- " too far" Kay told them steadily. We don't love each other, Gene- vieve. We never even met, till last night. It would be-worse than 1t is-if we tried to stay married"
 Qenevieve urged robustly: Give yourselves Q chance! After all, you can't tell till you tryl You might fall for each other in 0 big way; and 6 honeymoon won't be any more scandalous than Q marriage. Try 1t, anyway!"
 Kay shook her head. "No," she said again. I'm sorry. Mo-"
 The other girl lifted her hand m @ gesture of surrender. Have 1t your way, then," she assented. T suppose you'd like me to drag my. self out of here, let you settle it!"
 But Bob and Kay were together in dissent; they protested 50 quick ly that she chuckled. Don't want

Someone knocked on the door, and they stood still staring at the panels. Then Geneveve crossed and opened the door. "Oh Bob," she said harshly. ''Well, come in!"
 'Is she awake?" Bob asked, uncertainty I'd like to see her."
 Genevieve hesitated. "Yes," she confessed then. She stepped aside out of the way, and Bob stood on the threshold and met Kay's eyes. Kay stood with her back to the window her face in shadow; it was only thus she could support his glance without finch
