By KATHLEEN NORRIS
SYNOPSIS
In order that her brother, Martin,
may be enabled to go to Germany and
study medicine, Mary Kate O'Hara
agrees to act as the wife of Chris-
topher.Steynes at a house party given
by her boss, Gordan Rountree, A Rus-
sian countess• and her daughter have
been chasing Steynes with a view' to
marriage. ` When The countess meets
I1i1ary Kate she is discouraged. Mary
Kate goes back to Steynes' house and
stays there for the night. A burglar•
breaks in; SteyriC shoots uim; point:
take Mary Kate's name and address.
The next day she ,returns home, only
to find that she has fallen in - love with
Steynes. She tells this to Cass Keat
ing to whom she is engaged to be mar-
ried, Cass laughs. All week Mary
Kate is in a feverish excitement; she,
wants tc see Steynes again. At last
he phones her and says he mast see
her -things are in a bad state.
CHAPTER XXXI.
A ight sweet spring rain was £a.!-
ing, neat morning, but for Maty Kate
the sun of no remembered April had
:ever shone so bright. The sun was
behind the rain anyway, burning and
sparkling through it;. the acacia trees
in people's gardens, and the lilacs at
the florist's all sent sweetness into the
warns air, and the streets flashed and
shone, and were full of goodenaturei
persons in new mackintoshes.
It was a pretty rain; not a deluge
with a wind sweeping it about, and
gutters running coffee, and umbrellas
crashing against each other, but just
a sifting of drops net much heavier
than mist, through the air, making the
green grass spectacularly green, and
beading the .first of the year's flowers
with thor..sands of trembling little
pearls.
Mary Kate had a blue and green
plaid raincoat, and a cap to match;
Mart had given them to her for
Christmas. So she did not even have
to carry an umbrella, and reached the
office with her face washed rosily and
her copper -wire bale curled all ahem
her brow and ears, in a hundred little
rebel tendrils.
The ,.face seemed attractive, some-
how, as she hung re her things, Arte
settled down to her morning's work.
The place vas in speckless order, rade-
ator clanking, telephones and type-
writers in perfect array, brightness of

on all sides. Arid the ,'big windows
that Iooked out over all the city were
beaded with rain. .
She stood at a window, loving it
all; the hotels at the top of .California
Street hill, and the cable cars gouging
and rattling, and the little creeping
beetles that were motor -ears, slipping
an$ passing each other; in the streets.
Cite trains, in Chinatown was in a
hopeless jumble, as usual. Ferryboats
under a low gray sky, cut long gray
wakes in a level gray bay.- The smoke
from a coffee roasting establishment
rose while in•the air, and sank again,
and, clung to the roofs of the buildings.
This was at nine. At ten o'clock
she could hardly breathe, and before
eleven she felt fairly Hl with expecta-
tion and suspense. Her hands were
cold, her cheeks burning, and she kept
swallowing with a dry urolith. With
her utmost' effort she could not keep
her mind upon what the was steppes
edly doing.
The younger Delaney was talking
to her seriously about the insurance
en a new garage on the Bakersfield
place. He thought there should be
some insurance on it, and would tal:e
it up with Mr, Rountree. Insurance
was very heavy on a garage, and at
the same time -
"Will you incorporate that in a
memoranda, and give it to me before
twelve o'clock?"
What on earth was the man talking
about? Ten minutes past eleven, Her
moubh was salty; her heart beat as if
it would tear her to pieces.
Sitting at her typewriter, with her
back to the room she heard his quiet
voice behind her, and the whole world
split into • pieces, and shook, anti
wheeled,
"Will you do that then, Gordy?
You're awfully decent-"
Chris's voice. She hail to turn. But
Le was not looking her way. He stood,
very tall and broad, only a few feet
away from her, wearing an old tau
raincoat that was spattered with just
as much rain as would fall on a man
who had hurried from a taxi to a
building's street door.
"Good morning," he said, coming
around to face her. Their eyes did
not meet.
"Oh, food morning."

"But we don't need a taxi!" she pro.

"Oh, for heaven's sake-" he said
patiently. And . the magic began to
work again, and her senses to swim.
They went up the hill in the taxi
with only monosyllabic comments on
the weather and the traffic, and'were
presently in the great wide acacia -
scented foyer of the hotel. ' Walking
straight through the building to the
big dining 'room at the back, they
were placed at a little table by a
window that looked down, across wet

ferry buildings an the piers, to the

down softly, incessantly, over the
world below the windows; the Berke-

Chris brushed aside the dollar table
