Durant laughed, but whether at this

not have told. "1 went upstairs it

the bottom of the river is the only
place for me."
Rose held up her hand. "Don't say
another word about that," she pro-
tested. 'I am rather glad that every-
thing happened just as it did."
He looked at her wonderingly.
"Did you Itnow that Miss Bunce nev-
er telephoned denying that rumor; as
she said she would?" Rose asked af-
ter a moment.
"What? No! You mean she nev-
er sent Miss Cabot any word at all?"
Durant's look was blank.
"No." Rose studied him, indulging
a warm impulse to remove at least one
slur from his name. It grew as she
thought of the emergency into whit"'
she had forced him, the. manner in
which he had conducted, lsimself, and
the way he had asumed an the blame.
She could withstand it no longer as
she noted the . troubled silence into
which her news had driven him. She
stopped.
Durant stopped, 'too, and he looked
at her with amazement. .• They were in

excitement.

after a moment. ‘' •
"No-. Good night." Rose held out
her hand. Then, actuated by another
warm impulse, she bent toward him
and whispered, "1 want to tell her."
Durant asked no questions. He
merely reached forward and took her
hand in both of his.

"I warned you. I like you well en-

His fact grew luminous. He took a
step' tow -mi her. "Then what does
all this matter ?” he exclaimed tri-
umphantly.
Her eyes widened. She retreated a
step. "You mean—"

Rose was almost ominously reticent
with Durant the next morning. She
told ,him nothing except, if he cared
to call,' Hilda Cabot would • receive
him. But this bare fact appeared to
be enough. He thanked her profuse-
ly, and the pace at which he flurried
to the Cabot house 'showed how lanisk
were his hopes.
The butler wavered an instant be-
fore ushering him into the front par-
lor. The haste with which he bore
Durant's card upstairs was rather un-
butlerlike. And soon a door above
was closed. If Durant recognized the
fine, clear ring of that voice as Hil-
da's he could no longer hear what she
was demanding of someone whose
wishes evidently crossed hers.
It Was several minutes before Hilda
came down ,and her face was flushed,,
as from argument. She received Dur-
ant with a new yet smiling serious-
ness which he evidently regarded as
auspicious after her. light, bantering,
tantalizing treatment of the past.
"I am deeply! humbly sorry for what
credited against you," she said im-
mediately, "so sorry that I' want you
to realize fully how delighted I am
that this matter has been cleared up."
"Let's not say another woed about
it, if you are willing," he repil.ed, "Of
ceurse, it is something that can-
not emelain without appearing to act
like a cad tOward. another woman,
but" ---he hesitated—dbut I do want

"Please. There is another story a-

" froubling you! Another story a-

inaeement. -
- "Yes." She blushed; her eyes left
his before she went on. "Do you
• remember that the first time I met you
I warned you of a risk you were run-

He nodded, his eyes fixed on her lips,
as if to read her meaning ahead of
• her words.

• "The beggar would be likely to Imr-

gesture of impatience. "I didn't come

"Your answers have been strangely

'Snow in the duce would you know
