It must be managed quickly before Jocelyn She declined innumerable invitat- ions. An occasional theater -party she ac- cepted. Several of these were given in Jocelyn's honor by Felix Kent.l But Marcella brought her charge home after the play, forbidding any extension of gayety for Jocelyn.

"Your mother has left us together. You know I love you." "Yes," said Jocelyn, trembling and looking down. "Do you think you can love me?" "I don't know monsieur." He laughed in soft delight and drew closer. "I may put my arm around you, loveliest?" She made no movement nor sound but, he, interpreting her silence, did draw her, to him and she came softly suddenly so that all of hoer young body seemed to be his won. Then he kissed her mouth. At that she was up and at the far side of the room. Never had he seen a living creature move so quickly. Both her hands were pressed against her lips. Her bosom panted. , Her eyes were distended and wet. "Oh, no," she whispered. "Oh , . no .... no . . no. I can't. Kent came toward her, not close, for her arms were stretched out to keep him at a distance. She even went back against the window which held an amazing picture of lighted towers and silver smoke and of a sky colored like the petals of dark pansies. "Darling, I'm sorry. I beg your pardon. I know I frightened you. Please do forgive me." He felt as though he had been sent back in a dream to play the part of •a Victor- ian lover. Phrases came to him from half-forgotten old romantic novels: "I won't do it again. I want you so: I want you to marry me." After a considerable silence Joce- lyn composed herself. But she stay- ed against her window, drawn up there as though for an instant spring backward into the great dark city of refuge beyond the window -panes. "You won't do that again?" "Not until you wish it. Please,. c ose o m n t r o his own. "May 1 have a piano?" whispered Jocelyn. The question sounded so like mere childishness that Felix laughed out, and again, but very carefully, put his arm about tier, She came to him, but not so softly, so completely, as be- fore. "You shall have everything," prom- ised the Jack of Diamonds. The engagement of Miss Jocelyn- Harlowe of New York City to Mr. Felix Kent of Chicago with all poss- ible other details of information was presently in due form announced. And Jocelyn wore upon her third fin- ger a diamond as splendid as a star` "You ou shall be married in tine spring after a four months' engagement," Marcella promised. Later there were evenings, however, when Felix' new role of restraint was difficult to main- tain. On one such evening he left Jocelyn abruptly wtih a manufactur- ed excuse. She went back into the .room and sat down by her piano brooding. The door from the passage which led back toward the bedrooms open- ed softly. Jocelyn whirled about, sur- prised. She could see no one. But the door had moved. She was startled. Then she saw him, coming round a great throne of a chair which had in- terposed between them. The cripple The little bent man; sidelong, with bright eager eyes. Jocelyn would have screamed but he arrested her with speech. "Don't be frightened, Jocelyn," he said gently in a voice full of pleas- antness, "I wouldn't scare I wouldn't hurt you for the world. .You see, you poor little child, I am your father." For years Jocelyn•had had a photo- graph in her possession, secretly. All other pictures of Nick Sandal had been destroyed, clipped into splinters of cardboard andburned to black feathers, by his wife. While the bent man came round the cornier of the chair and spoke to her, Jocelyn was therefore able to identify hit. "l'm not afraid of you," she said--- a queer first speech from child to parent, "I'm glad my daughter isnot afraid of me, I thought by, this time you'd, be made , of fear—I used to call you `Lynda.' " •'s 1 -le lifted her hand to his lips: "1 came to ask you .. . are you happy?" "Yes. And thr-rilled." (Continued Next Week.)

Before Jocelyn's return from France, Marcella had been busy warming chilled social contacts, melt- ing the edges, from metallic connec- tions of one sort or another. She had once a great position in the city and it was not too difficult, in spite of what had once shattered her life, to make herself remembered, So when she brought Jocelyn into the ballroom she was able to obtain for Jocelyn murmured, "They're very nice." Marcella's hand fell upon hers' and tightened sternly. "I am the judge of niceness." And. Jocelyn sat still under that touch. Often Felix Kent came in to see them.
