"Oh," said hatherine, "I believe he
•)did say that you bad mentioned us."
Of herself she was asklug, "I wonder
i4 she is In love with him?"
And thus it transpired that lrreddit
fUlstervelt - ntldlepa roti, good looking
Inconstant irreddie, just nut of college
'-was transformed into to bone of con-
tention, whether lie would or no.
} He was of the kind who love or
make love to every new girl they meet,

ily passed over !I' need he. Rebuffs
may have punted him, hitt they left
no jagged scar, Ile helouged to that
• class which upsets the tranquillity of
inexperienced maidens by whispering
intensely, "Heavens, it's grand!" And
.he means it at the moment.
Katherine Rodney was in love with
him. He belonged to a fashionable
New York family of wealth, and he
had been a young lion- at Pasadena
-during the winter just past. He own-
ed automobiles and a yacht and an
extensive wardrobe. These notable as-
sets had much to do with the conquest
of Mrs. Rodney. She looked with favor
-inpon the transitory Mr. Ulstervelt, and
" elleved in her heart that he had some-
thing to do with the location of the
• 'shining sun. But of this affair more
. anon, as the novelists say.
Brock was presented to the Rodneys
lust before the party went in to din-
ner. He managed his eyeglass and hilt
drawl bravely and got on swimmingly
'with the elder Rodneys, until Con•
• stance appeared with Katherine and
'Freddie IIlstervelt. It was not until
• then that it occurred to Miss Fowler
ithat Freddie, being from New York.
- 1 was almost certain to know Brock ei-
ther personally or by sight She ex-
•,perIenced a cold chill, the distinct ap-
proach of catastrophe. Brock had just
•been told that young Ulstervelt of
'New York was to be of the party. His
blood ran cold. He bad never seen the
young man, but he knew his father
well, He had even dined at the man-
"sion in Madison avenue. There was
every reason, however, to suspect that
Freddie knew him by sight. Even as
he was planning a mode of defense in
case of recognition the young man was
presented. Brock's drawl was some-
thing wonderful.
"I-aw--knew your family, I'm sure
-aw, quite sure," he said. "You know,
of course, that I lived in your-aw-
delightful city for some years. Strange
we never met, 'pen my soul.("
"Oh, New York's a pretty big place,
Mr. Medcroft," said- Freddie good na-
• turedly. He was a slight young fellow
with' a fresh, inquisitive face. "It's
bigger than London in some ways.
It's bigger upward. Say, do you know,
you remind me of a fellow I knew in
New York!"
"Haw, haw!" laughed Brock without
grace or reason. Miss. i'owler caught
her breath sharply.
"Fellow named Brock. Stupid sort
of chap; my mother says. I" -
"Oh, dear me, Mr. Ulstervelt," cried
Edith, breaking in, "you shan't say
anything mean about Mr. Brock. He's
my lusband's best friend,"
"I didn't say it. Mrs. Medcroft. It
was my mother," Brock was biding,a
smile behind his hand. "She knows
him better than I. To tell the truth,

When the heart does not do its work
properly and the nerves become unstrung

"It's extraordinary how' many peo-

Rodney?"
"Ripping? Ripping what? 'Good

ed Mr. Rodney, who was fussy and fat
and generally futile. Re seemed to
grow suddenly uncomfortable, as if
ripping was a habit with him.
Dinner was a success. Brock shone
with a refulgence that' bedimmed all
expectations. His wife was delighted.
In all of the four years of married life
Roxbury had never been so brilliant.
so deliciously English (to use her own
expression). Constance tingled with
pride. Ot late she had experienced un-
• usual difficulty in diverting her gaze
from the handsome impostor, and her
thoughts were ever of him -in justifi-
cation of a platonic interest, of course,
no more than that. Tonight her eyes
and thoughts were for him alone, a

sure, would have made him wildly hap-

She was never so beautiful, never so

Iii order to keel) his wits In the pre-
scribed channel,
His self esteem received a severe
shock at the opera. Mrs. Mederoft,
with malice aforethought, insisted that
Uistecvelt should take her Itushand's

the unfortunate Brock was compelled
to shift more or less for, himself. In-

nearby cafe they had a whisky and
soda apiece and, feeling comfortably
re -enforced, returned to the opera house
arm in arm, long and short, thin and
fat, liberally discoursing upon the In'
tellectuallty of Fieri Wagner.
"Say, you're not tit all like an Eng -
Willman!" exclaimed Mr. Rodney int•
pulsively, even gratefully,
"Eh, what?" gasped Brock, replacing
his eyeglass. "Oh, i Say, now, 'pon

"You've got an American sense of

He returned to the box after the sec -

foyer. To his disgust. Ulstervelt ap-
propriated Constance and left him to
follow with Mrs. Rodney and Kather-
ine. He almost hated Edith for the
tantalizing Smile she shot after him as
he moved away, defeated.
If he was glaring luridly at the ir-
repressible Freddie. he was not alone
in his gloom. Katherine Rodney,
green with jealousy, was sending spite-
ful glances after her dearest friend,

as if it were laden with frost.
