mo. I-he-he almost ran
over me this afternoon" she fin
ished confusedly, unwilling to let
Susie know that for once a young
man had attracted her.
He's easy on any girls eyes,"
Susie said, III bet he's in pic
lures"
Il don't think so-never saw
him on the screen"
Freddy was saying to Camille,
and my hero flees to Honolulu
and gets a job on a ukelele ranch,
breaking in wild ukeleles. Then
he meets the overseer's daugh-

Freddy, looking around the
room as he was talking, caught
sight Of Margery and stopped in
the middle of a sentence to stare
at her. Margery quickly looked
away, unwilling that he should
suspect that she was staring at
him.
"Look-a, Marge," Susie Kissed,
hes falling for you already"
Camille looked about to see
what Freddy was staring at, saw
that it was Margery.
Eyes, Freddy, your hero meets
the overSeers daughter and she's
a blonde"
"Blonde?" Freddy turned to
| look at Camille "Oh. YES. of
course a blonde" He stared at
Margery again.
80 I thought" Camille said,
dryly, blonde like that girl over
there?"
Eth? Oh yes, sure-blonde like
that girl over there. Say, I be-
lieve I know that girl, Camille"
you mean" Camille said,
that you wish you knew her"
"No-er-really. am sure that

ling, pardon me moment until
I run over and speak to her. She
will think I'm terribly rude if

Camille sighed.
well, if you must, only when
you started out to tell me the plot
of your novel, your heroine was
brunette"
Freddy Matthews didn't hear
her. for he had risen and was
crossing to Margery's table.
Susie saw him coming.
Gee, one of them fast-work-
erS!" she remarked,
IF he thinks"
Margery couldn't finish, for
Freddy stopped in front of her
and bowed.
Excuse me-" he said, but
haven't we met, somewhere"
Margery looked at him calmly
and shook her head.
II have been somewhere, sew
eral times, but I never met you
there" she said.
"Oh. but I am positive I have
seen you, simply positive" With
out asking permission he sat down
at the table. Margery glanced
over and saw that the little bru-
nette girl was cycling them coldly.
Il am quite as positive that you
haven't " Margery insisted.
Really, you don't mean that
you have forgotten me?" Freddy's
smile was delightful, but it failed
to make Margery responsive.
Your face is so very familiar"
And So"
&c am I. know that one,
you see, and I left myself wide
open for it. Miss-er-?"
1T won't work" Margery said,
coldly. THE reason that I don't
remember you is because never
saw you before" She turned to
Susie, Come along, Sue" she
said Our car is waiting"
Margery stood up and in doing
so knocked the glass of water into
Freddy'S lap.
"Ooops!" Margery cried and her
face Redeemed. so sorry, but mis-
takes will happen"
She and Susie hurried out,
where Margery began to laugh.
You did that purposely,
Marge!" Susie cried. And you
nave seen him before. you just
told me that he almost ran over
you this afternoon"
Il know it, but do you think
I'd let him come over and pick
up an acquaintance like thiS?"
CHAPTER VII
Jaw, Marge," Susie protested,
II don't see any harm in it. If a
nice man sees a girl he's crazy
to meet and there's nobody to in.
troduce them, why shouldn't he
try to get acquainted?"
yeah? And give the man a
chance to say, later, that he was
never introduced, that he just
picked you up?"
