Pauline felt very important, looked at Dennis, There was man in the room so distinguished1 looking as he, she thought proudly, and a sense of humble gratitude fill, ed her heart. “I .suppose you won't be able to dance,” Barbara was saying to him casually. “I suppose your leg isn’t really fit enough.” j Pauline broke in eagerly. “Oh,! but it is,, and Dr. Stornaway said it would do him good to exercse it. Dennis is a lovely dancer! You must waltz with him, Barbiet—he waltzes perfectly. Before we were married “I dare say your idea of a perfect dancer and Barbara’s are very dif- j ferent,” Dennis broke in calmly. “And hadn’t you better sit down, my dear? You’re in the way there.” j Pauline moved hurriedly, her pretty face flushing with pleasure at the casual word of endearment. t Barbara noted it pityingly. Later, wen she was dancing with Jerry Barnet, she said suddenly: j “Have you ever noticed, that when a man begins to call his wife ‘my dear’ it’s the end of a ro mance.” Jerry guffawed. “Can’t have, but I dare say you’re Romance is the shortest lived I know of, anyway. Awful!” Barbara glanced across the to where Dennis and his wife sat to gether at the supper table. Pauline was watching the dancers eargerlyj her face flushed and her eyes very bright. Denis was watching them too—moodily, his hand idly playing with a wineglass. When she and Barnet went back to the table, Dennis rose. “Am I to be honored?” he asked stiffly. Pauline broke in. “Do dance with him’Barbie—I should love you to, and it is a waltz they are playing now.” Barbara laughed. “Well, to please you . . .” 'She moved away onto the crowd ed floor with Dennis. They danced for some time in sil ence; then Dennis asked abruptly: “Do you really like this sort of thing?” “What sort of thing?” “This noise and glare—and—and artificiality.” “I adore it,” Barbara said. It not the truth, but to-night she afraid of the truth. “I loathe it.” “Why are you here, then?” ‘Because you are.” Suddenly he swept her away from the crowded floor and through an arched alcove into a small unoccup ied room, “We’re not allowed here,” Bar bara said calmly.” “In a moment. I want to speak to you.” “Pauline will miss us.” “She is dancing with Barnet*—Of saw her.” “Let me go.” “In a moment.” He was between her and -the ballroom.- “Look, Bar bara—answer me one question and I swear I’ll never mention it again.

If I’d been free—” Her trembling lips smiled. “Such -a big ‘if’, Dennis.” At that moment he seemed to almost a boy-—no longer the disap proving, almost brusque man she had known, and at that moment, she felt also as if all her bitter exper ience had been swept away from her and she was a girl again, in love for the first time. She closed her eyes, and as almost unconsciously she swayed toward him, Dennis caught her in his arms. * * But ask be RATES—Farm or Real Estate for sale 50c, each insertion for first • four insertions. 25c. each subse quent insertion.

Barbara in a rage he could understand and cope with, but Barbara in tears—sobbing like a girl —left him helpless and ashamed. It was a strange thing that, once safely in her rooms, Barbara’s chief feeling should be one of guilt. It was not that she had any great af fection for -Pauline. She felt that somehow she was wronging Dennis. He was, as he had said, so unlike other men.. Dennis was- different and she knew that he despised him self for the thing he could not con trol. Yet the strange inexpicable attraction which she had felt for him for so long had now communi cated itself to him and was proving stronger than his owin inherent loy alty. Barbara was essentially honest with herself. No matter how much she posed and dissembled before her world she never for one moment tried to pretend to herself that she was any better than she was. And now at four o’clock in this gray morning she sat down by the fire be fore she went to bed and looked in to her heart with cool deliberation. Slie loved Dennis O’Hara as she had never loved any man—that was a truth that she had never question ed. She was sufficiently a woman of the world to recognize that her attraction for him was probably _ largely physical. iShe knew that' she angered and exasperated him even while she drew him, and that the obstinate, intensely masculine so.

Then a last appeal: Do come, if you can; you don’t know how much I want to see you. Pauline laid the letter down with - a feeling of guilt. She wished she had told her mothen-of this trip to New York, and yet in a way she was glad now she had not, because had she done so she- knew this letter would never have been written. She sighed and turned to pour some coffee, and then she .saw an other letter which had. slipped out of sight behind the toast rack.
