"Jealousy!" echoed Dwight. "You

Il mean just that" Margaret's

A disturbance from the driveway

And there was Elsa climbing out OF

looked as if it had been stolen from

in the top, piece of which waved
grotesquely in the light stir of air.
The engine had died with hollow
cough as we rounded the corner of
tine house, and the villain had
climbed from under the wheel and
was twisting the crank and grunt-
ing profanely as if to torture it into
another try at life.

Elsa to Dwight. Its two dollars
and I haven't it." When the man
had gone roaring indecently off
down the hill, she explained: He
was such an intense man; I rode
with him instead of in the shiny
car the other taxi man had. like
intense people. 1t was bumpy, but
there was moonlight, and I didn't

the hand, murmured Huntoon Rog-

linked in mine and Dwight's most
confidingly, we went toward the
house.
