When Fosdick 'tells him he will have to wait, Mark ac- cepts an invitation to a party to help Teddy Banks'win a $1,000 bet with Archie Landon. Mark is to get $50'0 and new clothes. Although Mark has told his real name, Archie intro- duces him to his hostess, Mrs. Lynn, as "Stewart Byram." Mark meets. and falls fa love with Pamela Rodney. Jealous of Mark's` attention to Pam- ela, Archie calls him an impostor and Mark returns thea money but remains at the party-. He learn that Burleson the man who sent . him to prison, is at the, party, but Burleson does not recognize him, and all is well until Mrs. Lynn suddenly asks him . if, -by any chance he was at Stella Bynam's wedding. Mark lifted his head. "No, I wasn't there by any chance. I don't know her, Mrs. Lynn." His hostess Iooked perplexed. "But she should be your cousin; there are so few Byrams. You must come in on the Tom Byrom side?" Mark caught the gleeful malice in, Landon's eyes. "No," he replied flatly, "not on any side. You're mistaken, Mrs. Lynn. I'm not related to the Utica Byrams." She was a little taken aback, But a woman of the, world passes such things over lightly; she turned the conversation swiftly, though her eyes flashed one keen question at Landon. He reddened and moved uneasily in his chair. It was Pam who, spoke softly to Mark. "I'm so glad! Those Utica By - rams are so , stodgy. I didn't see how you could belong!" "I might be a hop out of kin, you know," he answered quickly, and then, in an undertone: "Suppose I'ni not a Byram at all; what then?" "Oh, but it's your name!" she laughed, as if at a huge joke. "But if it wasn't my name?" / She lifted her shining eyes, mis- chief in them. "What was it Ju- liet said? 'A rose by any other name?' n "De you remember about,the he asked her daringly. "The play?" she laughed right; "of course I do." "With Romeo it was love at sight," said Mark. • out- first Again the flame that played in his eyes held hers. She drew a quick breath, smiling, clinging desperately to the convention. She did not know that prison had made a pagan of him, like a pagan he was wooing her, and he knew he had no right to do it. The dinner ended too soon for him. He outstayed the other guests. There was music and a little dancing again. Burleson took off a few to the opera. Pam taught Mark some Glancing steps in the .deserted ball- room. Landon had been carried off against his will, by Burleson. 'Mrs. Lynn was in the thawing room. "I can't see where you could have been." Pam laughed. "Why, you know steps I never heard of --and not one I know!" `Nomansland has only one—the lockstep"—Marls replied recklessly. He night have stayed too late but for Mrs. Lynn's entrance.' She sent him away still graciously, If he was not a Utica• Byram rhe was something of a man. She was woman enough under her worldliness to be a little thrilled by that. Before' she knew what she was doing she had told him er days at home. GANAW:PI NVONL.
