Cary Essex, gray-eyed, grave
faced, tan and slender, came for
ward and shook hands. For an in
slant was fooled by the name
Kaye. Could Miss Gleason have
made a mistake? Was Cary a
woman? My bewilderment lasted
only until my employer seconded
his cousins welcome and led the
way to a huge limousine.

In a tragic whisper, Il failed to be

to do but name me Kaye?"
AS she ratified on, the car In
which we were riding left the mac

long wooden bridge. Through the
tightly-closed windows, the roar Of
pounding surf came to my ears,
and saw my employer SILVER and
cast a nervous glance toward the
sound.

up with a glow which made his
long angular features almost hand

he spoke, and Kaye jeered softly:

major season at Splendid Springs was
opened by the arrival of the Ten
Drinks.
MIR. Joseph Tenbrink, manufactur-
er of the Tenbrink car, was that un-
common thing, a successful Inca of
industry who was also of ancient line
age. He knew what his grandfathers'
first names were, and his family had
been socially accepted in the city of
Zenith ever since 1890. His daughter,
the lissome and high-diving and lovely
Miss Leila Tenbrink, was as proud as
the daughter of a Russian grand
duke.
When the Tenbrinks opened their

ian Balls, Elsa Maxwell arrived, and
aged old men who till now had pitched
horseshoes and worn visible suspen-
ders, put on palm-beach suits and
played contract.
Pecan Towers was next to Evans
mansion. Perhaps Evan and Leila met
among the camelias; perhaps, brush
ing through Dun & Bradstreet, he
discovered her there. Anyway, look
ing down from the low stage, on which
they were capering. Matt and Millie
suddenly discovered the two of them,
with Lelia's mother, at a table in the
Silver-Plaza Grill.
Evan was paying no attention to
Miles monologue. He was quietly
holding Lelia's hand and looking into
the eyes of Mrs. Tenbrink. All eve
ming he ignored every one save the
Tenbrinks, and in methodical way
drank too many gin fizzes.
Driving home to their shack, Matt
fumed: "Yuh, that would happen.

Not for a week did Evan and Leila
return to the Silver-Plaza Grill. and
in that time Matt and Millie read of
them as driving speedboats, fishing
for tarpon, dancing all night at the
Esplanade. When they appeared
again, it seemed to Matt that sick
Incidence had spread through the
young man like a fungus. He was
softly whispering to Leila and stroking
her lily wrist all through Miles
swing versions of the Declaration of
Independence and the Seaboard Air
line timetable.
DURlNG his rendition of Old Time
Melodies Streamlined, Matt skipped
down from the stage and ambled
among the tables. He stopped beside
Evan and said timidly, 'Mr. Wycoff,

Leila looked at him like a dead

he said courteously enough, "Oh -

at lining pencils and spirit gum and
Miles rabbit 's-foot powder puff.
She stared at him. Suddenly, while
Matt shook his head, she gushed:
