Somehow the conversation ended.
The 'whole thing, had destroyed the
fine flavor of Philip ' Ardeyne'.s day,
He wished with all his heart and soul
that his name had been kept out of
the newspapers, for because of that
publicity Carrie Egan had known
where to find him. Happily he was
ignorant of the fact. that the same
publicity had given the same informs-
tion to Mrs. Carney, and was respon-
sible ,for his second meeting with.
Alice. •
Mrs. Egan's dissatisfaction -with the.
release of Hugo Smarle irritated him
less than the fact of her being here,
in' this hotel, a looker-on as it were
upon these idyllic first hours of his
romance. A year ago he had been—
almost-,in.love with Carrie Egan.
But sudden disgust hadrisen tip to
cure him. . Yet she, was here, and
once ho had made love to her. He
feared her laughter, ,feared 'the pos
sibility of her hurting Alice. The po-
sition carried with it a certain amount.

Alice smiled shyly. "Yes, it will be

her face straight ahead and spoke in
a very low tone. No one was -near, but
she did not: want what sho was saying
even to be.guessed.
"Are you sure you care for me—a
lot?" °
"Sure? . I should think I was!"
"You really do love me, Philip -`for
ever and ever'?"
His 'answer Was as satisfactory as
circunlstanpos permitted, " . And
why should you get such ideas into
your head? There never was anybody
but you" (a slight exaggeration)"and
there never will be. The sanno assur-
