Jackie had received an eNo''iJ
similar envelope But Jackle's
had been heavier, and far less
reticent.
IN Peter Wayne's vocabulary
the pronouns she and her
usually stood for some sort OF
machine. she was as smooth as
grease, or she was cranky, she
went like a dream or the con-
founded critter wouldn't go at
all He was, in other words, a
mechanical genius, not especially
interested or experienced IN the
ways OF women. But he was, for
all that, Undetermined and by
no means unsusceptible.
It was his steady and reason
able preoccupation with JAG
queline Seymour, so unfortunate
ly expert in hiding her own
emotional intensity, that had
kept htm-a youth of VeFy-e%--
ceptional attractiveness from
such entanglements as this with
Lucy Grange.
Now, waiting for Lucy in the
gold and marble lobby of great
New York hotel. air-cooled, fan
stirred. he tried to command the
disturbance of his pulses and to
rehearse to glibness the design he
had prepared for her disillusion-
ment
Jackie's letter had simply
dynamited his world. He had not
thought she cared. He had, in
fact, despaired of her ever car
ing. The brief yelled converse
ton in which he had felt out her
possible reaction TO a declaration
Of marrying love. the strong will
that was in him towards life
companionship, had been met by
- her. he had felt. with the coolest
and kindest encouragement. 1t
was this. as much as the summer
evening, the garden peace and
the beauty Of Lucy's overwhelm-
ing surrender, that had betrayed
Peter into suddenly being carried
away by impulse.
Today, fortified by the EVIL
dence of Jackie's interest and by
a period Of solitude, hard work
and masculine associations, he
was ready to be as tough-mind-
ed in the hotel restaurant as he
had been Undetermined in the
garden. But the preparation had
given him bad nights, pallor, and
a nervous contraction of brow.

TO the frequenters of such cpl

knew of Lucy's entrance before
he saw her, by the change in the
faces and the turning Of the
heads of his fellow visitors.
There came a sort of noiseless
stir, a brightness and a fiXity.
Peter looked and rose. She was
coming with eager drifting grace
down the central avenue where
so much beauty and grace and
expectation had gone before her
and would go after her: but per-

guise
She wore one of those strange

fingers of an artist had expressed

found knowledge of physical per-
