Now, as they walked down the crowded thorough- fare conversation was difficult, anti John was unusually silent. Recalling bits of phrases in their recent con- versation, it suddeoly occurred to Tom that there had been an lillae* customed tone, even a note of bitter- ness, underlying the smile and lightly spoken words a his oldest and best friend, whom he felt he knew art he did 'himself, At the thought he looked sharply and piercingly at Wm, but the strong, resolute profile bout 'no truce of the cynicism of the last hour, much lessevidence of its cause. It was just imagination, Tom con - eluded, As they stood waiting ,for a cross- town car areobservant and clever beg- gar epproaehed. Tom answered the Weal with a coin. "Not from me," said John ee in a dis.. approviug tone. "Ole well, it's Christmastime," said Tom. • ."Yes, that's jest it, and he knows it and melees capital a it.

When the ear melted the railway station where John 'and Tout were going to take a train for Tom's suburban home, the two women also left the car. They went straight to the ticket window.

' Grant, an old friend of both Harding and Danvers, also lived In "Now, I . want you to raeet our friends, for Ifscold and I want to get home." While Tom and John were bowing In acknowledgment to "Mrs. Nerth and Miss North," their host chatted about its beteg "too bad they couldn't have meteet the other -end of the as long ns they happened to be on the same train." .. • Netwee North thieve a gni& glance at Harding-, hut otherwise no outward eign was given, as he walked with her to the car, that they had ever seen one, another before or that the smile thought was in the minds of both, but John was so strangely elated that Miss North's color deepened each thne :the looked up and met his smiting eyes. "Now, don't you fellowskeep our bridge waiting tonight," called Grant,. as he gave the signal to start. "I'll guarantee our arrival on time, Greet," aoswered John, well satisfied tent the arraneement, whether it was Ounce or fate, for somewhere within him something was thrillingly alert, tantalizingly expectant, confidently hopeful; and the feeling of the after- noon that had expressed Itself in •cynicism and manifested itself in lone- liness was gone.

' ' The evening was enjoyably spent in games and social chat and interspersed with music both vocal and instrumental. At the partaking of lunch there was a beautiful birthday cake on which was the figure 80 in pink tapers, the lighting of which was done by Jas. Oolley assisted by Mrs, j.

It was well filled. Across from the friends sat two good-looking women, evidently mother and daughter. Next to the younger woman sat a sweet- faced Salvation Army girl, with her tambourine in her lap. Her plain dark blue dress was in marked con- trast to the fashionable suit and beautiful furs of the ledies beside her. Suddenly the younger of the two turtied and spoke to her. She smil- ingly responded and shook her head, but as abe other continued to urge a wistful look eallee into the Army girEp face as she glanced about the ear. • "No, no." they heard her say; "the conductor would not allow...me, The rules are very strict," she added in explanation.
