her desirable. Then he could go with
his freedom, and he would marry any
one of the others. It made no differ
ence she would take the one who next
asked her. She was eighteen and In
finitely young. The middle aged man
opposite felt that he would barter bis
immortal soul to be twenty-four to be
young with ber.
"Shall 1 begin at the beginning?" she
asked in weary tones. He winced.

clude me. Spare me that" There was
a long silence. "It Is of young Trav

waiting for ber to begin.
"Mrs. Carr, from New Orleans, was
at the Springs," she began. "She is
one of my mother's oldest friends. Mr.
Travers is her nephew. It was at one
of ber receptions that I met blm first.
Khali I tell yon everything?" Her
voice bad a new ring. He thought it
was from speaking of her lover.
. "Your roses came Just as I was start

dress, the one you used to like me fh "
"Child," he Interrupted, "you do not
understand"
"Yes, but I do." gayly. "I remember

night I wore itdo you remember It?
what you whispered out here on the
gallery about my 'milk white arms and
shadowy hair? It Is a pretty dress. I
wore your roses to the reception. They
were glorious ones!" She was leaning
on her elbows on the table, her big eyes
full of myster...
"When Mrs. Carr presented Mr.
Travers," she proceeded, "he told me
that he bad been knowing me for a
long, long time and walling for me
to come, because bis bands were tied,
as It were, and he couldn't come after
me. Then I laughed, because it wss

It was before the war he had known
me. He Just graduated two years ago.

In the nonsense. It was such a relief
from talking to the women, and I can't
help being silly, you know, Bob." His
heart felt old and musty and failed,
and her every word was giving It 1
fresh blow. She had made a little pyr

"We went back to sit on the stairs to

drive with him and told me that be

"The impudent young" He forgot
that It was of ber lover be was speaking.
"He said be couldn't belp It" she
apologized for him In world weary
accents. "But they all say that" There
