CHAPTER 'VII
SYNOPSIS
Peggy Horton, whose older sis-
ter, Maxine Trueheart, home for a
visit, is a successful screen star,
is ashamed of her sheltered life
wdth her grandmother at Rose-
land. So she pretends to Nancy,
a visiting schoolmate, that she is
engaged. From Harry Wilson
Whom she meets ,by chance, she
borrows a ring to wear asan en-
gagement ring. Nancy, who has
recently broken her engagement
to Pidge, is much interested in
Pegg's ring. When Peggy loses
it, Maxine tells her grandmother
the ring was Nancy's and asks a
friend, Stanley Newton, who. she
says is a detective, to help find
it. Gran likes Stanley and dis-
cusses the loss with him.
"Well, that's a help. At least it
holds out a promise for another time.
Don't worry. I won't forget," he as-
sured her. Of course all this was no
way for a detective to find anything,
and she should ,be angry, but Peggy
realized that she • was not meeting
his eye because she knew she would
laugh with him if she did. And she
knew that would never do.
"Having progressed so rapidly, sup-
pose you describe the aforemention-
ed ring:" ,s9He took an envelope and a
pencil from this pocket and. sat,'for-
ward evidently prepared to write.
"It's a 'big diamond - a square cut
one,"
"Oh, I see, a'nice juicy square cut
solitaire."
"Yes, No -- wait a minute. It

some other, stones with

sapphires."
11e looked at her in surprise. "Are
you by any chance describing your
cwn, engagemeirt ring? Or is this
something you say one day as you
passed a jeweler's window?"
Peggy did feel foolish. "Don't be
ridiculous. I am so upset and wor-
ried I can scarcely think."
"Oh, I'm sorry. All right, then, we
have it a square cut diamond with
some sapphires. How many sap-
phires?"
"I don't know."
'His only reply was a slight raising
of his eyebrows which Peggy saw, be-
neath half -lowered lids.
"Were they in any kind of a de-
sign or -just there?"
'. "Heavens! I don't, know. You
find.- any square' cut diamond ring
with some sapphires in it, and I as-
sure you that will be the ring." Peg-
gy had jumped -to her feet angrily,
and was standing at the entrance .o
the summer house with her back to
him.
She heard the rustling of paper as

"Next week."
But just as she spoke she realized
a man had suddenly appeared in the
opening in the side of the hedge.
"Hairy!" she cried aghast. --
At the sight of the two figures in
the summer house Hlarry had retreat-
ed from view. Stanley Newton start=
ed forward but she laid a restraining
hand on his arm, and he turned back.
"Who is her, he asked, a puzzled
expression on his face. "Could he
be the thief?"
"Heavens, -no!"
At her tone, he turned to her•quick-
ly.
"You don't mean that he is the man
to whom you are engaged?"
Peggy remained silent.
"Well, now, isn't that just dandy!
This beloved fiance who is to be out
of town for another week suddenly,
appears from behind 'a hedge and at
the sight of me beats it. And as for
you, instead of rushing to the arm
of your lover, you utter a ,terrified
squeal of 'Harry' and look as if you
were going to faint. Now I ask you,
is that any way .for a loving couple
to act? Shall I leave? It that is
what is embarrasing you-"
"Oh, no, don't," Peggy pleaded. If
she were left alone Harry might
come back. Then what would she
say?
Stanley threw his hands in the air.
"it is too much for me," he announc-
ed . walking back in the summer
house.
"You simply have no imagination,"
Peggy told him. "In spite of all your
theories. My -engagement to him is
broken and he is coming back for his
ring. Naturally she doesn't want to
ask for it before strangers, and na-
turally I don't want to see him until
I have the ring to give him. Now Oo
you see?" There was enough truth
in this statement to make Peggy feel
almost straight forward.
"Do I see?" Stanley cried. Catch-
ing her in his arms, he whirled her
madly about the small enclosure. "Oh
boy, do I? Now we can sit down and
talk about ourselves, can't we? Cer-
tainly we can." Suddenly he releas-
ed her.
"No," she shook 'her head breat'i
lessly. "That's just what we Can't
do. . Don't you` see how important it
is to find the ring now -right away?"
"Lord, that's right. I had forgot-
ten all about the ring. Haven't you
any idea where the darn' thing could
be? Where did you have it hidden?"
"I didn't have it hidden. 1 had :t
on at the train -yesterday, but I took
it off there and put it in my hag. Both
Maxine and Nancy remember.. that.
Last night when I went to get it, it
was gone. Really, that's all I know
about it. Really, that's every bit ,of
it,"
Stanley was looking at her, a hope -
"Do 1 see?" Stanley cried. Catching her in his arms he whirled her
madly s.bout the small enclosure.
can find the ring this afternoon?"
Peggy jumped to her feet with het•
eyes shining. ' -Have you any idea
where it is? Where will you look?"
He e shook his head at her reprov-
ingly. "Don't ask questions. Dod't
you remember I told your grandmo-
ther I had my own method?"
William's small grandson appeared
at the entrance before she could an-
swer.
"Dey's done rang de gong for di'i-
ner long time ago," he announced.
"Mis' Ma'y said for me to come find
yo' all. Ah'se been all ar;oun'.
"Why are you sure?" Peggy asked
in surprise. "We didn't hear any
gong."
"No'm•, Ah reckon not. But It's
done rang. An' yo' can sho' hear
dat gong when dey rings it, way off.
Ef yo' mine ain't wand'rin'."
Stanley chuckled and threw the boy
a •piece of silver that made the little
rkey's face shine like polished eb-
ony. Peggy ran through the path of
the rose garden with,, Stanley close
behind her. The others were still on
the back terrace waiting 'for them.
"I'm sorry," • they both began
breathlessly.
"Peggy must have
Maxine said, with
smdle. ,
"She did," eStanley assured her. "I
found out a number of things that
encourage me immensely."
"Oh," said Mrs. Hort-on, in satis-
faction that her grand -daughter had
been of some help. .
"Oh!" queried Maxine, in a toile
that implied "Now what?"
"Oh!" came Nancy's startled tone,
arid -
"Oh!" exclaimed Peggy.
While they were at the table 1VIrs.
Horton suggested that she thought it
would be much better if Mr. Newton
would remain at the house while he
was looking for the ring.
"I'll have William drive into town
this afternoon and get your bags, if
that arrangement suits you," she sug-
gested to her guest.
"You are most kind, Mrs. Horton.
1 can't tell you ,what it would mean:
to me to stay here for a day or two.
I believe, however, it would be bet-
ter for me to go into town and get
my things myself. I am afraid I
have things pretty _much scattered
about my room, and as I have my care
it won't take,- me long. I shall be back
very shortly."
Maxine and Peggy had exchanged•
surprised glances at Mrs. Horton's-in-
vitation to Stanley. Gran was al-
ways hospitable, but she did not ask
people to visit in her home unless
she genuinely liked them, and corint-,
ed them, her friends.
"What do you want to do this af-
ternoon, Nancy" Peggy asked guilt-
ily. She had forgotten .all about hav-
ing• a guest whom she must keep • ea-
tertained. "Shall we go for a drive?"
"No," Nancy replied. ."To tell you
the truth, Pidge is coming."
"Pidge?" Mrs. Horton asked:"
"Yes, that's the man I am going to
marry."
"Well, it seems tome that we must
all get busy and find your ring. We
can't have you meeting your fiance
without your ring. Don't stay long
in town, will you, Mr. Newton?"
"No," he assured her. "I'11 be back
in a very short time."
Maxine and Peggy exchanged wor-
ried glances, and Nancy merely smil-
e's.
"Oh, Nancy, 1 think that is splen-
did," Peggy cried as they' left the
table. "That you all have made up.
Did he ca11 -You this morning while
I was out?",
"You'll learn all about it this af-
ternoon when he comes," Nancy as-
sured her. "I think I'll go upstai.•s
and dress. I don't know just when
he'll come. You don't mind, do you?"
"Why, of course nirt. Do whatever
you like," Peggy told her.
Maxine followed Peggy on to ttie
terrace, while Gran went upstairs for
a little rest. Stanley had already
driven off to town. "I wish we could
have found that ring before this,,
Pidge person comes. He will arrive
bringing Nancy her ring, and how
will we look then? I think Nancy
only told him to come today to put
you on the spot."
(Continued Next Week)
he stuffed the envelope back in his
pocket.
Itjust doesn't make sense," he
an tneed, joining her. "If I gave a
girl a ring like thatand she couldn't
describe it any more clearly than you
iha're I'd know darn well she didn't
care anything about me."
"Have -you been engaged and mar-
ried frequently, Mr. Newton?"
"I? Oh, no. • I know I'm funny
that way. I've always felt that I pn-
ly wanted to propose to one r:rri, and
that would be the girt, I was darn'
sure I Wanted to marry."
"And you haven't found the girl, in
spite of knowing so well how she
would be affected by the ring?"
"Yes, I'm pretty sure that I've
found the girl," he replied thought-
fully. "I was getting a little low it
the •prospect of marriage, but my
hopes are getting higher. It may all
come out all right after all."
There was a low whistle on the
other side of the hedge which neither
of them heard.
"But I don't like looking for any-
thing so indefinite as this ring as you
describe it. Penbaps it would be bet-
ter to ask the young man. Probably
he could tell me more about it."
Peggy was conscious that Stanley
was watching her closely. "Unfor-
tunately, be is out of tOwn," she re-
plied casually:

face. "Woman, I certainly am ,tak-
ing you on faith. You either greet
your guest and your sister wearing
an engagement ring after you, have
broken your engagement, which, my
dear, just isn't done. Or you greet
them properly engaged, then through
a :process of mental telepathy -Max-

you say he is out of town -you break
the engagement. And that, my dear,
just can't be done. But you don't

"You look plain grand. I knew that
yesterday when I met you on the road
and I knew it again when I met you
in town and I knew-"
He' paused., Then his face sudden-
ly brightened. "You promise that once
you have the ring you'll give it back
to him:?"
Peggy nodded quickly.
"You're sure you won't let him talk
you. into reconsidering the engage-
ment?"
Peggy shook her head vigorously.
"Of course I can't imagine any man
ever taking no for an answer after
you have once said yes, but I'll have
to trust you. Now you run along and

Our energy is in proportion, to the

difficulties we have to encounter; we

Forgiveness
A one -ended piece of string and a,
one -Sided forgiveness are both -alike
impossible. Forgiveness is the mend,
ing of a broken relationship. You
cannot forgive d person who will not
be forgiven. You cannot be forgiven
if you will not also forgive.
Friendship
The simple fact is that nine people
out of ten are disposed to be friend-
ly if you will give -them half a chance.
Butwhat chance 'have they if the
very way you look at them suggests
that you are frightened they will bite
your head off?'
Faith
Whenever faith in God disappears
something inferior is defied, the race,
the nation., the class, the leader. " '
Happiness ,
To be truly happy is a question of
how we begin and not Of how we end,
of what we want and not of what we
shave.
Linder all circumstances it is bet-

right to eat, but the right to be re-
