A short while ago less than two months -"she became -involved in a ais gracefal ' scandal in Hollywood, md her picture, together with a full account of the matter, was published in the newspapers. You remember I wopdered.r that first night, why her hair was dyed. Now I know. She was afraid "she would be recognised." Of course" we cannot permit Steve ft marry her." ' "Are you snre about all this, Julia." Mrs. Hollins quaverd.' "Steve loves her very deeply. It will break his heart. I must con fess, tiat she does not seem to me like a bad woman." V "She's clever, mother. Here's the story you can read it for yourself. But we must not tell Steve. He need not know anything about it until later. My plan is to get rid of this girl alone, give her to understand that we know all about her, and force her to break' off the engagement. She can do so by letter, without giv fpg Steve auy reasons, and taen disappear. Of course, if she re fuses, Steve will have to know. He is bound to be terribly hurt, of course. It appears that the crea ture was engaged to marry a rich young fellow in her home town, named Howard Bennett, but when the scandal about ber became pub lic he gave lie up., Think of it trying to inveigle one-man into a marriage a 'month ago- pretend ing to be in love with another one now! The whole thing Is nauseat ing. Here read this." She thrust on the newspapers into her moth er's trembling hands. "When you've finished we'll decide what is best to be done." For many dismal minutes Mrs. Hollins strained her eyes over-th small print, with? Julia, a rigid figure in black, watching her grimly. When the old lady 'iad finished she sank back in her chairwith a plaintive sigh. "Poor Steve," sbe whispered. "My poor boy." Tlfere were sud den tears on her withered c'jeeks. "Well." said Julia, taking the paper from her, "don't you think my plan i the be"st?" " "I don't know. It all seems so impossible. Just when I had grown to like her so much.

She had just reached the landing at the top of the stajif, when Sylvia and Steve came in They had driven the sleigh dowt to the barn. " ' "Hello, mother," the latter ca! led from the hall. "Mad a corkinf drive. When will dinner be ready? We're famished." He came to the door of the. library. 'Stood there looking in, -with Sylvia, flushed as a I young bride, beside him. In their new hanpiness they did not notice Mrs. HolUns' agitation. "Julia Is back," the "dd lady whispered. "That so?" Steve frowned ever so slightly, and pressed Sylvia's hand. His sister's presence, he knew, would make the confession before them far more difficult: "Hope she had a good time."
