was in the lead, ''have you eloped?
And is this the MANI"
"This is Mr.. Barnes" said Edith,
"who comes from my uncle. I am
to go back. But have had cork

Eloise, red-haired and vivid in

seeUed to stand mentally on tiptoe.

"You do" There was a fame in

CHAPTER VII

Jane, in Baldy's absence, dined
on Sunday with the Follettes, in the
middle of the day. In the after
noon she and Evans went for a walk,
and came home to tea in the library.
Stretched in a long leather chair,
Evans read to Jane and his moth
er "The Eve of st. Agnes"
At the moment, Mrs. Toilette was
weighing seriously the fact of Jane
as a wife for Evans. She was pretty
as well as cheerful. Had good man.
ners. Of course, in the old days,
Evans would, inevitably, have
looked higher. There had been
plenty of rich girls eager to attract
him. He had had unlimited invita-
tons. Women had, in fact, quite
run after him. Florence Preston
had rather made a fool of herself.
And Florence's father had millions.
But now? Mrs. Toilette knew
how little Evans had at the moment
to offer. She hated to admit it, but
the truth was evident. Watching the
two young people, she decided that
should Evans care for Jane, she
would erect no barriers. AS for
Jane, marriage with Evans would
be, in way, rise in the world.
She would live at Castle Manor in
stead of at Sherwood Park.
1t was after five when Baldy tele-
phoned triumphantly: "Jane, Edith
Towne has agreed to go home to-
night. And I'm to take her. called
up Mr.. Towne and told him and he
wants you to be there when we
come. He'll send Briggs for you
and we are all to have dinner to-
gether."
"But, Badly, I don't know Edith
Towne. Why doesn't he ask some
|, cf her own friends?"
"She doesn't want 'em. Hates
them all, and anyhow he has asked
you. Why worry?"
'T'n have to go home and dress" /"
"Well, you're to let him know at
once where Briggs can get you. |
told him you were at the Follettes'." "
Jane went back and repeated the
conversation to Evans and his moth
er. Mrs. Toilette was much inter-
ested. The Townes were most inn
portant people. How nice for you,
Jane"
But Evans disagreed with her.
"What makes you say that, Mother7

someone say things like that. Oh,

They talked for an hour after that.
"There is no reason why you should

'T see. Of course I've been silly

She would not have admitted it to
anyone else. But she met his sin

"I was going to have our lunch

downstairs is charming-and If any
one comes in that / know--I shan't
care-as long as I'm going back. "
There were other people in the
room, but it was not until the end
of the meal that anyone came whom
Edith recognized.

She stood up and waved to a par
