interrupted. "My impression always
has been that the affair waa about
fifty-fifty."

I thought I'd like you to know how

its was turning as he took his hat
and coat from the maid at rfea front
door. The girl waa a fool. There were
no two waya about it. What did she
expect to gain by talking about Mon
nie to him 7 Waa she really, aa Kay
believed, such an enemy to Monnie
that she would deliberately try to
undermine her with Charles after hav
ing stolen Dsn from under her nose?
Or was it a bit more complex was
Banara aucn an egoist that she wished
everyone, even Charles Eustace who
knew her so casually, to think well of
her? However it was. she was a nasty
little cat and he sincerely disliked
her.
He walked off into the autumn
night, frowning. Why hadn't he told
her exactly what he thought of her,
he asked himself. She hated Monnie
that -much was plain. How had aha
dared to speak of her in that tone to
him? Charles acknowledged, with a
pang, that Monlca'a absence coat him
a great deal. He was missing her more
than he would have believed possible
a year ago. She was so sweet. That
waa it ao everlastingly sweet and
clean and desirable! She made all
these other girls with their poses and
affections and meannesses look drab
and uninteresting.
Monnie he admitted it to himself
at last had come to be the core and
the center of his life. He loved her
and she waa in love with an
other man. There was nothing he
could do about it. Unconsciously he
groaned to himself. Nothing he could
do, he repeated, except to stand by
and be her friend If ahe needed one.
He rather thought she would.
The party of which Sandra bad
spoken was a barn dance at tbe sum
mer place of the Bliss's, some 15
miles out on the river road. The
great studio barn was heaped, for the
occasion, with sheaves and decorated
with pumpkins, cornstalks, russet
leaves and gourds. Charles, bored with
the idea of assembling a special cos
tume for the affair, knotted a ban
dana over bis crackling shirt front
and lounged on tbe sidelines, watch
ing the merriment. Geraldine Cardi
gan, looking rather prettier than us
usl in a fresh blue gingham, whirled
by in tbe arms of one of the Payne
boys and waved to him. He saw Dan
dancing with Sandra and looked away.
There waa no doubt about it, the girl
was attractive in 8 feline sort of way.
Dan, he observed, waa rather the
wofrc for wear. He had been stop
ping at the punch bowl in the corner
a hit too often and his step was
slightly unsteady. Sandra semed to be
in her elefent. She didn't, Charles
thought, drink at all but sbe was gay
er than those who lid. Her trilling
laughter sounded often. Her full
skirted frock of yellow stuff, billow-
Ilesque of a milkmaid's costume.
