CHAPTER TWELVE

Lee Brent rose from the daven-
port where ne had been sitting
beside Sybil but he was looking
at Faith.
Congratulations he said.
Sybil turned white She had
asked him not TO tell Faith that
she had been the one to announce
her engagement. She had gambled
on Lees chivalry not to expose
her, but she had lost.
Naturally if he explained what
he meant Faith would deny it,
SYPHILIS mind, seeking an escape,
decided to say that Daphne had
given her the information and
fight it out with Daphne later.
Anything rather than let Lee know
she had lied
But her excuse was not neces-
sary. Fate, that grim old har-
ridan who delights in torturing
lovers, came to SYPHILIS rescue as
Faith responded, why thank you,
Lee. Who told you? Daphne ?"
Lees reply was curt. Until she
herself admitted it, he had not
believed il.
1T was Sybil who informed me
of the good news" he said.
Faith dropped her box upon the
floor and sat down saying happily,
I'm so thrilled about it," She
glanced at Sybil expecting her to
leave but the other girl sat as if
glued to the davenport. 1t was
Lee who said, Il must be running
along
Il just stopped to tell you that
l won't be able to see you tonight
as l had planned But of course
that won't matter to you now"
Faith looked puzzled
But, of course. il will. Lee. l
don't see why this needs to make
any difference
Something Wrong
Something was wrong. Could
il be that he was angry because
she had secured the position as a
model? But he had known all
the time that she was planning
to do SO just as soon as she left
school. Perhaps he had seen her
the night before with Bill.
II only Sybil would leave them
alone so that she could explain.
But she couldn't tell him before
a third person that Bill was Just
a boy from home, the brother of
her best friend. 1t would sound
as il she thought he was jealous.
And after all if that had been
the case he need not have come
10 the house TO deliver his mes
sage. He could have telephoned.
BY this time Lee was at the
door.
Well. boodbye." he said without
looking al her.
In Hurry
He certainly was in a hurry 10
get away. He had given her no
opportunity for a whispered word.
Was he embarrassed in front OF
Sybn No. Faith told herself she
couldn't believe that.
Sybil had gone 10 the window
and was watching his progress
down the steps as Faith picked
up the box she had dropped and
slowly went up stairs. Daphne was
in the bathroom getting ready for
a date with Mr.. Manton so there
was no chance 10 discuss the mat
ter with her.
And presently the rest of them
were 81 he dinner table where
Faith related her good fortune 10

She did not notice the expires
sion Of relief on SYPHILIS face. Had
no idea that the other girl was
thanking the malicious little gods
Of chance which had played into
her hands.
Nor did Faith dream Of the long
train OF unfortunate events which
were about to descend upon her
own unsuspecting head.
She told herself that Lee was
