THE WAY MADGE AVOIDED A

me, frowning. - ! ,
"Commend -me to a womansfor

.A Tense Moment,.. t
v' That in a" sudden" gust of anger
Dicky would be" perfectly capable
of doing the preposterous thing he
had suggested I well knew. . And
I thoroughly apprectated lhe rieo

J'Commend me toa man- for

. "Because I am planning to
save confusion, guard your moth

to keep you- the one who would
most dislike tha confusion -front
a distasteful experience, you fly
into a passion and plan to send
an; insulting message like that to
your sister.'- As for this -sudden
hurir to go home, don't think you
are misleading me. I am perfect

no especial attraction for yon here
after Bess Dean goea home." 1 c
' I stopped abruptly, breathless, a
trifle terrified and" bravely Sup

riicky's face wSa a study in' bewil

It Is my pride that I have al
ways kept any jealousy under such
rigid control, that Dicky could have
no possible knowledge save nis
idwn keen' intuitions' that It exist
ed. T And J. had no need of sup
pressing any' feeling , Concerning
Bess Dean save apdssibte amaze
ment at ler audacity; : That Dicky
had fathomed my attitude toward
her I was sure, and I appreciated
to the full the bewildered surprise
which was his at my outburst.
"Well, I'll be ? eternally: boiled
in oil if you aren't the outside
