boy. Her hair was parted de
murely in the middle, and she
wasn’t made up. She wore a plain
little dress of navy blue crepe,
with white linen collar and cuffs,
and small, strapped black slip
pers. She was like a school girl
in appearance.
“Well?" she asked.
The red rushed up under the
hrcw;i of the boy’s cheeks, but
he managed to speak just as non
chalantly as she had.
“Very well, Indeed!” he an
swered. “Oh, very—”
And then, without quite know
ing how they got there, they
were In each other’s arms, and
he was kissing her oddly shaped
winglike eyebrows. And she was
quivering, close to sobs, against
his shoulder.
For a moment they stood to
gether, so. And then Tony spoke.
“I guess,” lie said, "that set
tles it! W'e will be married as
soon as possible. How'.’’ his voice
was close to breaking, “hoiv
could you send me home, as you
did. Ia.st night?’’
"This morning!” corrected El
len.
Tony's face had a high, uplift
ed look. He paid no attention to
the correction.
^ "You had me worried,” he
said, “stalling that way. Pre
tending that you hadn’t fallen
for me, and that my bank ac
count was all that mattered.”
Ellen raised a slender hand—
half in protest, half in a gesture
of withdrawal.
“Liston.’’ said Ellen. "Stop
and look and listen! You’re go
ing too fast, Tony—you’re as
suming too much. I didn’t mean
to- worry you last night, and I
w'asn’t stalling, either. I wasn’t
pretending not to like you, for

of the other men I know. But I
suppose It was, really, your bank
account that finally sold me—

heart thudded sickly at the false

love’s only a gesture any way!”
“Most women,” said Tony, and
he spoke with the con ictlon that
every rich young man possesse.s.
“would be afraid to talk as
frankly as you do, Ellen, if they
really didn't care! They’d be
afraid of losing me—and my
hank account-—”
Ellen tossed her head until
the curls of it were all a-dance.
”I’m not afraid!” she boasted.
How could a boy guess that the
boast was so hollow?
”1 suppo.se.’’ Tony went on.
"that I’m sort of old-fashioned,
ill some ways. But my mother

Kllen’s eyes were staring far
away.

“and that’s why I don't believe

One of the first things she had
noticed about Tony was the
■Mreiigth of his jaw line. It wid
ened out now, ill an odd manner,
it became blunt.
‘What,” said Tony, “if I make
a few remarks and stipulations?
As long as this seems to be a
mutual contract we’re drawing

as many women friends in my

Ellen’s hands were folded in
her lap. They looked like calm
little fingers, but in reality the
nails of them were biting into
her pink palms. Tony—oh, he
